10. Loki (Hulk Variant)

Hulk Loki is an unusual and powerful manifestation of Loki in Season 1, Episode 2. In contrast to the normal Loki, this variation possesses huge muscles and greenish-yellow skin that resembles the Hulk. His natural horn growth emerges directly from the surface of his head without any helmet. His shredded clothing could be the outcome of either an evolving shape since his previous state or a disordered, freedom-induced lifestyle. The gamma radiation experiments of Bruce Banner might have motivated this variant of Loki because he sought additional strength.

The comics show him in a fleeting appearance during a gathering of multiple variants of Loki. The modern Loki uses sorcery and deception, but this hero seems to draw his power from physical strength alone. He displays a unique yet dangerous version of the variation form, combining destructive strategy with imminent destructive potential. The incomplete narrative of Hulking Loki confirms that Loki will stop at nothing to gain absolute power.

9. The Arrogant Loki

Loki features as Arrogant Loki, who presents false accounts of his accomplishments in this version of himself. In Loki Season 1, DeObia Oparei portrays this variant of Arrogant Loki. The post-credits scene of Episode 4 introduces this variant while he holds a substantial hammer. He boasts about defeating Iron Man and Captain America and mastering the complete Infinity Gauntlet. The true Nexus incident and the other facts he mentioned turned out to be fake statements.

The weapon in his possession does not match the genuine properties of Mjolnir; instead, it is a counterfeit version. The mischievous character of Boastful Loki distinguishes him from alternative Loki versions that seek to change. Kid Loki faces betrayal from President Loki, who then succeeds in tricking him. The arrogant Loki, with his hubris and poor judgment, is one of the least intellectual Loki types.

8. Variant L6792

Frost Giant Loki represents the Loki existence that stayed childlike forever because of never being adopted by Asgard. Odin did not accept Frost Giant Loki as his son in that timeline, so the character stayed with his birth tribe. In Loki Season 1 Episode 2, Mobius presents Loki with various versions of himself to demonstrate his past transformation. This Loki exists without fear or favor in his Frost Giant background, unlike the characteristic Loki we know. What If...? (2021) Episode 3 releases him, leading Frosthemoth rather than following the prince route in Asgard.

Odin's absence changes Loki into a new entity, exhibiting enhanced abilities, growing confident, and adhering to his Frozen roots. He represents an authoritative existence instead of performing tricks as familiar to typical tricksters. His personal story demonstrates what Loki's path would have been if he had not become part of Asgard.

7. Variant L1130

The Avengers experienced a failure during their time heist of 2012 when Loki, known as Variant L1130, successfully fled from capture. He created another timeline by gaining flight capabilities with Tesseract. The TVA, as a time-keeping organization, seized him. The organization acted since the Tesseract escape was never meant to occur.

No remarkable events after "Thor: The Dark World" that led to "Thor: Ragnarök" and "Avengers: Infinity War" were seen by Loki. He was not present when he died in Infinity War, nor did he see his death in the story. The Loki variant featured in the TV series is the character we witness during the show. His persona is different from Loki, who starred in those previous movies. The time flew; he headed in a different direction when Loki successfully escaped.

6. President Loki Laufeyson

In the sprawling Vote Loki mini-series from 2016, Episode 5 of Loki introduces us to one of the most politically astute and cunning variants, President Loki. After trailer teasers revealed his possible coming, the audience eagerly awaited his on-screen debut. Among all comic book Loki versions, the presidential Loki remains one of the most captivating because he seeks to trick the American people into electing him to head the nation.

The storyline tells the satirical tale about Daily Bugle journalist Nisa Contreras, who relentlessly pursues Loki's deceits. This variation examines political dishonesty and honest conduct throughout his voyage, offering pertinent criticism of the state of politics today.

5. Female variant of Loki

The female Loki, Sylvie, was hunted down by Mobius and TVA spies, who kidnapped her when she was playing in Asgard as a child. Sylvie escaped her capture and then devoted herself to breaking down the TVA leadership while systematically hunting down its officials. Since Loki created Sylvie as an Asgardian before bringing her to Earth, she serves as the second Enchantress in comics, but the show creates a different version of her.

Sophia Di Martino's rendition of Sylvie, a genuine Loki variation, gives her character a distinctive spin. The character travels across a chaotic multiverse in her quest for independence and vengeance, deepening her grasp of identity and free will while dismantling the TVA authority.

4. Loki in the Classic Variant

Within the MCU Classic, Loki represents an extended-lifetime version of the traditional Loki character. Actor Richard E. Grant physically represents Loki in Season 1. His appearance is based on Loki's first appearance in Journey into Mystery #85 from 1952. Thanos killed the main Loki, but Classic Loki survived. Thanos was unable to defeat Classic Loki when he misled the Titan with an illusion of deception to flee into space. He spent numerous years dwelling by himself in an isolated world while pining after his brother Thor.

After making his decision to escape, the TVA imprisoned him. Classic Loki attacked himself for his cowardice after running off, yet he displayed exceptional bravery before his death. Loki sacrificed his life to battle Alioth by using his divine ability to construct an illusion that resembled Asgard. Even when he spent his days in exile, he demonstrated his heroic nature through his final selfless deed, which supported Loki and Sylvie.

3. Kid Loki

Young Trickster Loki, played by actor Jack Veal, is shown to viewers in Loki's fifth episode as a strikingly different incarnation of the figure. The youthful Loki found in the Void remains significant because he succeeded in killing Thor. Despite his youth, Trickster Loki's strong powers have caused the banished versions to acknowledge him as their leader. His advanced storytelling and development create an exceptional figure within the Loki series.

Fans hold strong anticipation that Young Trickster Loki will appear in an upcoming Young Avengers movie because it would expand the Marvel Cinematic Universe even further.

2. Loki: The Conqueror

Loki makes his debut in the dramatic arc of Loki: Agent of Asgard Episode 6, presenting the distinctive Loki the Conqueror variant who succeeded against adversity. As the future Loki emerges under the name Ikol, he assumes power in Asgard by violently ousting his brother King Thor from the throne. Since he dominates the narrative with his immense power, Loki the Conqueror stands out as the most formidable version of all time.

His destructive power includes persecution against Kid Loki until he meets his final defeat as his story unfolds. Loki the Conqueror exists only as a cosmic threat to the future; although his story has yet to be presented to the audience, it will offer a tale of greedy villainy.

1. Loki in Alligator Mode

During Episode 4 of Loki, viewers encounter a wild variant that takes the form of a shady reptilian deity. Alligator Loki's quick post-credits cameo adds silliness to the narrative and leaves a lasting impact on the audience. Loki’s alligator form exists outside comic books, yet it stems from his Norse mythological structure and Marvel's depiction as an entity that converts into different beings.

The form could be a Loki disguise, although it bears equal likelihood that he belongs to an alternate realm packed with trickster alligators. The magical interpretation aligns perfectly with the outrageous twists and turns of the dimensions shown in Rick and Morty.

It can be concluded that Loki stands as one of the most captivating Marvel characters because of his constant ability to transform. Different versions of Loki lead to distinct manifestations of his persona through the introduction of characters such as the terrified Alligator Loki and the terrorized Hulking Loki.

Throughout the different Loki versions, we see either character developments that maintain a true trickster spirit or independent mythological growth patterns. Loki successfully demonstrates his mischief skills through ten different forms, each exhibiting his ability to manipulate the cosmos according to his will.
