Mythology: Loki

Norse god of tricksters and chaos, Loki has always been the black sheep of his family. Aside from his natural godly powers, Loki is also a powerful wizard, capable of any fete of magic. Of all the Aesir gods, Loki is the only one gifted with the power to change his own shape: He can literally become anything he likes. He has been known to take such forms as a horse, a fly, a falcon, a dragon, fog, darkness and even a woman, all in the name of his mischief. Loki's only real problem is that he just doesn't know when to stop with his pranks. He surprisingly shares a close relationship with Thor, and the two have often adventured together.
