Loki
When you call up of the AsgardianLokiin the circumstance of theAvengers , it ’s usually as the villain that the squad join to overcome . In the funnies , the prankster god has had multiple interaction withthe Avengerswho often work alongside his take up brotherThorto undo the topsy-turvyness and trouble Loki create and/or influences . And yet there was a fourth dimension when Loki was offered membership to the Avengers , albeit to the shock and surprise of everyone present , by an Avenger whose mind does not preclude him from make a notably poor decision .
In theMighty Avengers # 34written by Dan Slott and illustrate by Neil Edwards , we see the Mighty Avengers confronting Loki who has admittedly been behind the scenes wangle the team since their initiation back inMighty Avengers # 21 . reel from the events ofSecret Invasionwhose losses included his ex - wife Janet , former Avenger Hank Pym , and other heroes were called together by the long - absentScarlet Witchwho warned them of the elder God Chthon ’s arrival . When a group of unexpected Avengers united to vote out the threat , this unofficially sanction Avengers team remained together , a pawn of Loki ’s meant to upendNorman Osborn ’s machination as the head of H.A.M.M.E.R , his own Avengers team as well as the question of nefarious Cabal . Lokicontinued to test to manipulate events to his advantage , as member of the Avengers such as her pal Quicksilver tried in vain to locate Wanda . Eventually Pym discovered this deception but kept this knowledge known to only a select few , a revelation which angeredQuicksilverwhose tiptop - powered passion was quieted only when Pym revealed a plan to entrap their knotty puppeteer .
Using doorways from the Pymspace where their Avengers Mansion currently resides , the Avengers arrive on the Isle of Silence , a mysterious topographic point where Loki has been make love to frequent . Using Loki ’s patterns against him , Pym is capable to promise his appearance and oblige Loki with his scientific understanding of trick . Once bound , his effort to trick and fake the Avengers who ’ve beaten his round guards are met with painful torture which begins to make the present company uncomfortable asLokiadmits to his deception and that he does not know of Scarlet Witch ’s present whereabouts . When Thor arrives , following Loki ’s genial requests for help , the God of Thunder oppugn their actions , especially Pym who originally fought alongside Thor in the original Avengers . The inquiring and a quick engagement between Thor and Quicksilver play about a twist that albeit nobody was expecting although its result and resulting consequence are n’t as surprising considering the circumstances .
The entire situation brings in question Hank Pym ’s leaders and ability to make honest decision . There ’s no question that he is a glorious scientist but his superhero calling has been pepper with confutative decisions . We are talking about theguy who inadvertently created Ultron , had acomplicated history with his X - married woman The Wasp , and now reappears after being in captivity from the Skrulls while his imitator backed some decisions that continued to chip aside at Hank Pym ’s repute . Although he ’s been a comme il faut team drawing card with more than enough Avengers experience , his squad ’s trust in his leadership has begun to unravel . When Thor question him , Pym attempts to justify his actions by saying that he operate on a high-pitched standard being ennoble " Scientist Supreme . " This is cursorily rebuffed by Loki who bring out that it was him dressed as the cosmic entity called Eternity who gave him the aforementioned title , blow that Pym ’s belief in the transcendency of science over magic proved to be nothing at all .
Although Loki ’s call could be seen as a considerable blow to his ego , Hank tally to not volume produce these artillery capable of bruise gods and releasing Loki into Thor ’s custody to be adjudicate by his Asgardian compeer , upon the experimental condition of asking him a question . Hank point - blank expect him if he ’d like to join the Mighty Avengers , reasoning Loki to being a catalyst that helps bring Avengers together and that his property among the team could be a serious hazard at reclamation . Pym ’s asinine whirl is not only rebuffed by Loki but his other teammates are so shocked that he would ask this untrustworthy and manipulative design to fall in their ranks that they outright go out or talk of go out the team . Loki has been a consistent figure in Marvel Comics since the Golden Age and his popularity has only increased with his consistent stead in theMCU . But to reckon of having Loki , a reference who has proved to be irregular and undependable , as one of theAvengersis just so idiotic that you could only wonder what went through Hank Pym ’s drumhead as he think it was a skillful idea . In the end , the squad would finally disband and the irony is that whileLokiwas responsible for land them together , its closure had small to nothing to do with him at all .
