How Powerful Loki Is In Each MCU Movie
Summary
- Despite not possessing the physical strength of other Asgardians, Loki relies on his talent for magic and illusions to become a formidable force in the MCU.
- Loki's skills in hand-to-hand combat and his refined magic spells allow him to outsmart and outmaneuver his enemies and allies alike.
- Loki's devious intelligence, impersonation skills, and unbridled ambition make him a powerful and resilient character who continuously cheats death and brings trouble wherever he goes.
As an Asgardian god,
Loki is supposed to be powerful enough to be unfazed by most threats in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but his increasingly stronger opponents have proved otherwise. Expertly portrayed by the charismatic Tom Hiddleston, Loki uses his charm and his obsession with chaos to steal the show in every one of his appearances in the MCU timeline. Without the physical might of his brother Thor (Chris Hemsworth), the God of Mischief manages to outsmart most of his enemies and allies and almost crown himself King of the Nine Realms, but even gods can overestimate their own abilities.
Loki's strength never comes close to Thor's immense level of power, much less the physical might of other Asgardians such as his father Odin (Anthony Hopkins) and his grandfather Bor (Tony Curran). Instead, he always relies on his talent for magic and illusions to become a volatile harbinger of mayhem to everyone around him, regardless of their allegiances. Here's how powerful Loki is throughout the MCU.

Besides the real motivations behind Loki's thirst for chaos, the first Thor film revealed why he's regarded as a god even though he isn't a biological Asgardian. As soon as the Frost Giant King Laufey (Colm Feore) abandons a newborn Loki in an old temple, Odin rescues the baby and casts a spell on him to grant him all the physiological attributes of an Asgardian. The Allfather takes Loki home, where his adoptive mother Frigga (Rene Russo) teaches him his most valuable asset: sorcery.
Several hundreds years later, Loki has trained in hand-to-hand combat and refined his magic spells to the point that he's able to fight against an army of Frost Giants alongside Thor, Sif (Jaimie Alexander), and the Warriors Three. Loki's teammates are more experienced in battle, but he soon discovers that he has the advantage of being immune to the Frost Giants' freezing touch due to his heritage. Still, he finds himself in need of powerful weapons that help him gain the upper hand against stronger adversaries, so he uses the Casket of Ancient Winters to freeze Heimdall (Idris Elba) before the all-seeing gatekeeper has the chance to engage in battle.
He also wields Odin's spear "Gungnir" to fight Thor and kill his biological father Laufey. Yet, without any external aid, his favorite trick is also his more effective one - he summons numerous copies of himself that confuse his enemies and often lure them to a surprise attack. At the end of Thor, Loki pulls off a trick that doesn't involve a pinch of magic when he lets himself fall into a black hole, seemingly disappearing forever.
The Avengers
With Loki's love for multilayered illusions, it comes as no surprise that his death at the end of Thor is not a definitive one. Rather, his trip through a wormhole lands him in the most convenient place for his tyrannic goals. The god arrives at Thanos' doorstep, where the Mad Titan grants him the Scepter and offers him the chance to rule Earth if he fetches the Tesseract from S.H.I.E.L.D. With the Scepter, Loki becomes more aggressive and unstable. The Mind Stone inside the weapon allows him to control minds and shoot powerful blasts of energy capable of destroying armored cars and taking down the Avengers' Quinjet.
