Who is President Loki? Meet VOTE LOKI Comic Series

PopCorn Princess 2021-07-14

Related Topics: Loki

Loki has been many things: God of Mischief, stories, and time itself, always taking various forms to carry out his plans. He always served his own ideals and purposes, never bending to the will of others. A character so rich in mythology and complexity needed something to bring him even closer to our reality – and perhaps, that came in the form of Vote Loki.

The Vote Loki miniseries was published in 2016 and features the Norse deity in a completely unusual position: he decides to run for president of the United States. His only campaign promise is that he will lie to you, but he will be honest about it. Thus, the comic explores politics in a larger setting while bringing a bit of nuance to Loki Laufeyson. And, bearing in mind that Loki’s series on Disney+ made a great reference to this story, here’s everything you need to know about Vote Loki!

The Loki Miniseries

Vote Loki is a four-issue miniseries released in 2016, between June and August of that year. The series was created by Christopher Hastings and design by Langdon Foss and Paul McCaffrey and shows an exciting event in the life of the God of Mischief: he decides to become a president of the United States.

The comic is not set in an alternate universe and takes place shortly after the events of Loki: Agent of Asgard. Instead, we have here a continuation of the story of Ikol – the new version of the character, who had first been introduced in the Journey into Mystery and Young Avengers comics. This means that this is not a “Variant” of the God of Mischief, unlike the TV series.

The story ended up being a sales and critical success, further leveraging the idea of Loki as a chaotic figure who is not necessarily good or bad. Instead, he is an agent of entropy who does what he wants and only tries to stick to his own principles. The comic ended up not having considerable impacts on the continuity of the Marvel Universe in comics, but it is remembered by many readers to this day.

Political Satire

Whether you like it or not, art is political – after all, it is produced in a political context. Because of this, it can intentionally or unintentionally criticize something that is happening in our real world. In the case of Vote Loki, the reference is quite purposeful, as the comic was trying to draw some parallels with the 2016 United States presidential election, which culminated in Donald Trump‘s victory over Hillary Clinton.

The whole premise of the series was the idea that Loki only became a candidate by a “fluke,” and people began to seriously vote for him because he was a candidate who, despite his lies, would be honest about them. This is interesting when we look at the real-world context, as the 2016 election was punctuated by the political use of fake news – fake and defamatory news.

And at the end of the day, Vote Loki‘s miniseries isn’t even pulling for one side, be it the Democrats or Republicans. Instead, what the miniseries does is show how the population gets sick of traditional politics and all the dirt underneath it, which favors the creation of entirely insane idols just because there is widespread despair over the figure of a “hero who will save all politics.”

The Plot

The story begins in 2016, at an election debate between the Democratic and Republican candidates (incidentally, they are fictional figures within the story’s context). We follow Nisa Contreras, a journalist for the Daily Bugle whose life was marred by Loki‘s actions, as he was fighting the Avengers when he ended up destroying the Contreras’ home. Still, she grew up with fire in her heart and became a great journalist.

The event is invaded by undercover H.Y.D.R.A. agents, who reveal themselves and take those present hostage and threaten to start a massacre. At this time, one of the civilians present reveals himself as Loki, who uses all his magical powers to stop the criminals in front of several cameras. After stopping them, Loki gives a brief speech to the television, saying that he doesn’t even care about politicians because they all lie so severely.

This ends up causing Loki to gain a lot of political projection. The next day, several people start campaigning, saying that “Loki will burn down Washington,” as if he should be the next elected president of the United States. And the God of Mischief decides to follow this idea, even forging a fake birth certificate to prove that he is a US-born citizen.

He ends up meeting Nisa Contreras, wishing to atone for the crimes of his past. The journalist, in turn, seizes the moment to do a big story for the Daily Bugle, exposing how Loki would be a danger to politics. However, when the article comes out, the headline is changed, making it look like she is praising the God of Mischief. In turn, it was all part of Loki’s plan to gain more attention for himself.

How Does it End?

All we see throughout the four issues is Loki doing the most absurd things and being rewarded for it. He prepares a violent attack on Latveria, just days after a debate where he says that the United States should not interfere in the politics of other countries, contrary to the other candidates. It is also revealed that he faked the H.Y.D.R.A. attack in one of the election debates to gain projection for himself.

Instead of weakening him, he gains more strength as the population embarks on a collective hysteria, categorizing him as the only possible savior for the United States. Nisa tries several times to expose the truth behind the God of Mischief, but each time something new is revealed, he rises in the polls as if this is all a big joke.

In the end, she gives up trying to reveal the truth and thinks about traveling to Chile if Loki wins the presidency. It all culminates in one last electoral debate, where she makes no bones about what is wrong with Laufeyson. With no one to accuse him of anything, the God of Mischief, for the first time, answers the public about his own campaign and his projects.

And this is where the whole thing comes in: Loki has no plan for the presidency. He wants to see the circus on fire. He’s not concerned about the economy, security, social inequality. And when the public sees this first hand, he completely loses steam on the day before the election and loses.

Later, he claims that it was all just a plan to give Nisa a chance to become an even bigger reporter, as a way to ask forgiveness for the destruction of her home in the past – but he is the God of Lies, and we can’t even believe that right.

Adaptation?

This “version” of Loki, if we can call it that, appeared in Marvel’s Cinematic Universe in the fifth episode of Loki, the villain’s solo series released on Disney+. Here, we see that he is a Variant – that is, an alternate version from another timeline, who leads other Variants as he goes on a quest to find Classic Loki, Kid Loki, Alligator Loki, and the brand new “variant” of the God of Mischief.

While the character’s look is entirely faithful to the Vote Loki comics, there isn’t much about the history of this character and no connections that show he went through the same history as the comics. This Variant is less than five minutes on screen and appears only to show the plethora of Lokis who have been trapped in the Void, a place near the end of time.

Still, one can speculate many things based on this appearance – for example, was this Loki only taken as a Variant because he tried to run for president of the United States, breaking the planet’s natural order of events? Had he not been kidnapped by the Temporal Variation Agency, would he have won? And at what point was he created in the Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline?

It is unlikely that we will see this character again or even that this miniseries will be adapted in the future. Still, it’s an exciting comic that explores the lies of the God of Mischief in a way we’ve never seen before. And for those who enjoy political satire and dissection of what has been happening in world elections for the last ten years, it is a perfect read.

NEW Marvel’s Midnight Suns: Meet 10 Characters From The Game

PopCorn Princess 2021-09-02

Related Topics: Midnight Suns

Marvel’s Midnight Suns is the upcoming tactical role-playing game starring the House of Ideas’ most powerful mystical heroes.

In this new adventure, the Avengers must fight the dark forces of the dangerous Lilith, Mother of Demons, who has been revived by HYDRA using a combination of dark magic and technology. To stop her from summoning Chthon, they will team up with a task force of experts in fighting the occult.

This sinister story is inspired by a classic comic book team, the Midnight Sons. Still, the line-up we’ll see in the game will be completely new, reuniting heroes of the original team with Marvel’s biggest heroes from X-Men and the Runaways and a completely original character known as The Hunter.

So, meet the magical heroes who will be playable in Marvel’s new game, coming to all current platforms in March 2022.

Captain America

Captain America, The First Avenger, will be in the game as a supporting character. His shield grants him access to defensive abilities that will make the difference in ensuring that his team survives the most devastating attacks from Lilith’s minions.

Although he has not been part of any Midnight Sons line-up in the comics, the Captain has a record of fighting vampires, most notably the Blood Baron.

The bloodsucker faced the hero in World War II, and Steve only survived thanks to his reinforced costume. He can earn a new striking yellow and black uniform in the game, inspired by the team’s colors.

Captain Marvel

After having faced every kind of cosmic threat, few things can surprise Captain Marvel. So when demons start attacking the planet, she doesn’t think twice before taking action. Her cosmic abilities ensure a certain distance from the targets that opens up a range of exciting strategies.

Although she is more closely tied to the Avengers, Carol Danvers has already been involved with the mystical core of the comics when she ended up trapped in the future and had to work alongside Doctor Strange to survive the insane plans of the Enchantress and her son Ove.

Iron Man

Stark’s technology can adapt to any occasion, so it’s not hard to imagine his utility facing off against supernatural hordes alongside the Midnight Suns. And considering the posters that have been released, Iron Man may even create special armor to contain this threat.

This is what happened in the comic book arc Fear Itself. Together with the dwarves of Svartalfheim, he forged armor blended with magic for the battle against Odin’s evil brother, the God of Fear Cul Borson.

Doctor Strange

No hero would be as prepared to face a Demon Queen on the Avengers team as the Sorcerer Supreme himself, Doctor Strange. However, he understands the severe consequences of Chthon‘s imminent return, so it makes a lot of sense that the sorcerer has decided to seek out more mystical heroes capable of containing this threat.

In the comics, he was part of the original Midnight Sons who fought Lilith in the 1990s. Since then, Stephen has faced vampires, cosmic deities, and every kind of supernatural villain you can imagine. He promises to be the bridge between the two teams of heroes who must collaborate to survive in the game.

Wolverine

Wolverine may not understand much about demons, dimensions, and mystical dangers, but there is no one better to mow down hundreds of supernatural soldiers like they are nothing. The furious X-Men mutant was once an essential member of the Avengers and now promises to be a powerful secret weapon of the Midnight Suns in this battle.

Wolverine has faced mystical entities and vampires with no concept of danger throughout his many years in the comics. But most impressively, he also participated in a magical team at one point, along with Doctor Strange: the Secret Defenders. Recently, he has been facing hordes of vampires in the comics.

Ghost Rider

Ghost Rider is one of the founding members of the Midnight Sons in the comics. Both bearers of the Spirit of Vengeance fought bravely to stop Lilith’s plan in the 1990s, but the version we’ll see in the new game has nothing to do with this classic era – after all, the new summoner is Roberto Reyes.

With no demonic pacts, his powers come directly from the spirit of Elias, a satanic serial killer who worked for the Russian mafia as a mercenary. Robbie was recently invited to work with the Avengers but will have no connection to the team in the game.

Magik

Magik appears in the trailer from the New Mutants, vanquishing a demon with a portal to another dimension. Known for being Colossus’ younger sister, Illyana Rasputin eventually learned the mystic arts after being kidnapped by a demon as a child.

After surviving seven years in Limbo, facing a demonic uprising will be just another ordinary day in her routine. She further studies the occult arts with Doctor Strange in the comics, teaching at his school of mystical forces. This time, she will be part of Midnight Suns with her sword and her dimensional powers.

Blade

Blade, the legendary vampire hunter, is in the spotlight in the comics as he faces the outcome of the Knull invasion. But besides being a valuable ally to the Avengers, he is also one of the founding members of the Midnight Sons and promises to play an essential role in the new tactical game.

All he needs to make life difficult for his enemies are pistols and swords. The damage is guaranteed! The character is so powerful that he recently accepted the delegate – and spy – job in the new vampire nation that has been established in the comics. He definitely laughs in the face of danger!

Nico Minoru

Nico Minoru is part of the Runaways cast and doesn’t often appear away from her team in many stories. But here, she will be a valuable member of the Midnight Suns and responsible for awakening The Hunter, along with Doctor Strange, from his deep sleep of over 300 years.

She carries the Staff of One with her: an artifact that responds to her blood and can perform any spell its bearer can imagine, but only once. I don’t know how this will be translated into the game, but she promises to be one of the most powerful characters on the team.

The Hunter

The Hunter is a fully customized original Marvel character, designed especially for this game. Legends say that this was the only person who managed to stop Lilith, his mother, in the past. Since then, this fighter rested for centuries until someday someone would need his help. And this day has arrived.

We do not yet know the full extent of his powers, but Hunter will access light and shadow abilities. In the first gameplay trailer, we can see his healing powers in action, a scene helping Captain Marvel, and his devastating shadow attacks, which will have a price to pay to make things more interesting.
