Some pages from A+X #5, in which Kid Loki meets Mr. Sinister...



Mr. Sinister steals a sample of Loki's DNA from Dr. Doom's castle. As he's preparing to depart, however, Loki himself shows up. The Norse god claims he's the one who spread the information about the DNA sample's existence in the first place, in the hopes that someone would do the dirty work of stealing it for him.







They're interrupted by the arrival of Doom's genetically-engineered security forces out for both their heads. By teaming up, they're able to escape to the nearby nation of Symkaria, at which point their animosities resume:

So he wanted it out of Doom's hands but isn't worried about Mister Sinister accomplishing anything with it?

Or has he tricked Sinister into something that I am not comprehending?

It seems to be he's convinced that Doom could create a working Loki clone because he understands magic where as Sinister who completely rejects anything besides science would fail to produce a working Loki clone.

Exactly right. However I for one thing Loki is going to be in for a big surprise.

I agree even if Sinister can't produce a working magic using clone. He can probably still do some very twisted dangerous things with Loki's DNA.

Would Loki really care? Twisted dangerous things are dime a dozen around his backyard in Asgard. As long as they don't horn in on his bailiwick a couple new ones that share some of his DNA probably don't really register much.

Mythological Loki was never too careful about spreading his DNA around anyway.

It would probably depend on who the twisted dangerous things were aimed at really. Aimed at things he doesn't care about or considers his enemies would probably make him happy.

However, if say Sinister was to do something like design a virus targeting his species that caused rapid mutation which could potentially end his life then he'd probably be against it.

True, but he will just have to burn that bridge when he comes to it. Checking up on Sinister, if he remembers, would be wise.

Possibly, but that presupposes that gods are actually vulnerable to that sort of thing. Given that they can breathe (and speak!) in airless space and cross-breed with landscape features, their biology obviously doesn't entirely follow the natural laws that Sinister's efforts are going to be governed by.

Yeah if they were the gods of myth it would probably be a problem but the gods of Marvel have always shown to be far more mortal. In fact I can't recall any of the marvel gods cross breeding with natural elements.

The fact Reed could clone Thor for instance shows they have something like DNA that can be replicated. I mean 616 Thor's actually closer to a mythological god than any other resident of Asgard aside from Odin thanks to his mother being Gaea.

Concerning how different from mortals Marvel gods are, even the gods aren't entirely sure. During a conversation with Captain America in a diner, Thor once wondered whether he would cease to exist if no one believed in him anymore.

"Clor" wasn't a very good copy of Thor. He was ax crazy, far weaker, and had to wield a (also inferior) tech-based knockoff of Mjolnir. Aside from the appearance, Clor was arguably a failure.

Not to mention how messy things like the Ragnarok cycle makes figuring out things.

Yeah Clone Thor wasn't perfect but his existence proves that Asgardians have something like DNA That can be manipulated with Marvel U science.

Typhon was the progeny of Gaea and Tartarus (Hell) and appeared as a villain in Incredible Hercules not that long ago, complete with reference to his parentage.

Aphrodite Ourania being born of the sea foam that Ouranos' severed junk was tossed into seems a more applicable case, though, not involving a largely disembodied elder goddess. Athena refering to her by that name would seem to indicate that particular origin myth is the true one for her in the Marvel universe.

Ah I completely forgot about how much more more myth accurate some of the Olympians are compared to the Asgardians.

The High Evolutionary already cloned Thor, and in a fairly down-to-earth way (used hair and blood samples). Nobilus came out pretty much perfect--except for some anger issues, but that was thanks to Loki's meddling, not the cloning process.

High Evolutionary is kinda the ultimate authority on the subject, though. His genetic tinkering made himself into something that can stand up to Galactus in single combat and not be instantly blown to smithereens.

Unless he sets a foot in a X-Men comic, that is.

Kinda sorta not-quite-related, but the Mesopotamian goddess Inanna/Ishtar did get 'cloned' in one of her myths.

Interestingly enough, she does run on a 'the world is full of contradicting and paradoxical things and might actually doesn't make sense' metaphor, somewhat similar to Loki.

Okay, I am now going to try to think like Loki. Chaos, resentment, spite, mocking, large soda and mead... There, that was not so hard.

In the unlikely event that Nathaniel Sinister actually makes a copy of me, however unlikely, he will not understand it and it will be all to the good for the purposes of chaos and possibly something I can interfere with. "Doctor" Victor Von Doom (using that tone of voice does so torque him off) would have put up all sorts of tedious barriers to keep me from putting a hand in. Sinister will either end up working for me, unknowingly, or if not will still probably do all sorts of amusing things. So you are right, wonderful twisted dangerous things. </loki>

After all he is a god of chaos. And spite. Plus evil since he is no longer Kid Loki even if he looks like Kid Loki.

except so far his motives have been noble, if in part selfish... he's either trying to immitate kid loki to prove kid loki wrong, or as some of the past issues have shown, the ghost of kid loki is still alive INSIDE him :D

I hope at some point there is a collection. Otherwise I am going to have to buy all sorts of random bits of titles. Damn their effective marketing through pushing my buttons!

The Ghost of Kid Loki and the Ghost of Peter Parker should hang out sometime.
