Loki (Marvel)

Loki, known as both Loki Odinson and Loki Laufeyson, is a character from the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Marvel comics fandoms.

Character
Loki is the adoptive son of King Odin and Queen Frigga of Asgard, and the adoptive brother of Thor. He is the biological son King Laufey of Jotunheim, but Odin took him as a child during a war and raised Loki as his own. This is a major cause of conflict for Loki, and much of his character development has involved his resistance or acceptance of his heritage and his place within his adoptive family.

In the comics, Loki is canonically genderfluid. He shapeshifts easily between his male and female forms, although he typically presents as male and uses male pronouns. He doesn't use terms like bi/pan/omnisexual to describe himself, because the concept of sexual identity doesn't exist in Loki's culture, but he is open to partners of any gender.

In the MCU, Loki's TVA variant file lists his sex as fluid though he typically presents as male. He's had past romances with both men and women. One Loki variant from an alternate timeline is capable of shapeshifting, and she presents as a woman and goes by Sylvie.

Marvel Cinematic Universe
Loki has had canonical romantic relationships in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with both men and women, although none have been shown onscreen. His most prominent relationships are with his family, notably his adoptive brother Thor (see: Thorki) and his adoptive mother, Queen Frigga.

Marvel comics
Loki’s most important past canon romantic/sexual relationships have been with Amora, Loreli, Sigyn, and Angerboda. Amora and Lorelei are sisters and sorceresses who are generally up to no good, and Loki has teamed up with them as antagonists against Thor and Asgard on a number of occasions. Sigyn was Loki's wife, although they are separated. Angerboda was a giantess.

His most notable canon family relationship is with his adoptive brother Thor Odinson. (See: Thorki.)

Loki's canon best friend is Verity Willis, who has the power to see through any lie. (See: Lokity.)

Where Mischief Lies
Loki has a canon love-triangle between Amora and Theo in the novel Loki: Where Mischief Lies.

Amora accepts Loki for who he is and encourages him to use magic. They make out, and possibly more. However, Loki realizes that Amora intends to betray him in a plan to take over Asgard for herself.

Theo and Loki develop a close relationship while investigating the mysterious deaths in London with the SHARP Society. Theo invites Loki to stay at his apartment during his time in London, and they share a bed. Loki and Theo kiss. Loki promises to take Theo back to Asgard with him, but leaves him on Earth and returns to Asgard alone.

Trivia

 * Loki does not label his own sexuality, because his culture doesn't have the concept of sexual identity. Writers and other creators of his stories have referred to him as both bisexual and pansexual.
 * Comics author Al Ewing, who wrote the Loki: Agent of Asgard in which Loki's identity is a notable element of the story, explicitly stated that Loki is bisexual.
 * After Ewing's interpretation, novel writer Mackenzie Lee, who wrote Loki: Where Mischief Lies, explicitly stated that Loki is pansexual, although she was referring to his established (by Al Ewing) comics sexuality.
 * Loki series director Kate Herron stated that Loki is bisexual, saying "it was very important to me, and my goal, to acknowledge Loki was bisexual."
 * Loki actress Sophia Di Martino, who portrays a version of Loki who goes by Sylvie, responded to Herron's comment on Loki's bisexuality with a comment on the "beautiful lighting" used in the episode -- known as bisexual lighting, which is the use of pink, purple, and blue lighting to represent bisexual characters. She also used a string of a red/pink sparkling heart, purple heart, and blue heart, which is commonly used on social media to represent bisexuality.
