Loki is one of the two overarching antagonists (alongside Niko) of the 1994 comedy film The Mask and the main antagonist of its 2005 stand-alone sequel Son of the Mask. He is the Norse god of mischief and night, who delights in playing tricks on people. He is the creator of the Mask of Loki, the titular item of the franchise and becoming Tim Avery's arch-nemesis.
He was portrayed by Alan Cumming, who also played Boris Grishenko in Goldeneye, Fegan Floop in the Spy Kids film franchise, the Bog King in Strange Magic, and Lux Imperator in Doctor Who.
Biography[]
Long ago, Loki created a mask to grant his powers to those who wear it under his plan to spread chaos across mankind. But after being punished by his father Odin, believing he caused too much chaos, Loki is ordered to reclaim the mask. At the Edge City museum, Loki disguises himself as a tourist on Doctor Arthur Neuman's tour. When he spots the mask on display, Loki becomes infuriated when Neuman mentions the punishment and snatches the mask, only to discover it was a replica. Loki then rips off Neuman's face and places it within the display case before fleeing in a whirlwind.
The actual mask would be found by Tim Avery after it was retrieved from a river by his dog Otis. In order to get his mask back, Loki kidnaps Alvey, Tim's son, and tried to bargain within the hour. When Tim tried to give Loki the mask, he grew attached to Alvey. Tim puts on the mask and fights Loki. But since they were evenly matched, Loki decided that they should let Alvey decide. Alvey was about to choose Loki, however, Tim took off the mask and Alvey decided Tim.
When Loki's father Odin discovered Loki's failure, he comes and starts coldly insulting him and threatening to banish him. Tim, who can't help but feel sympathy for Loki, then decided to give Loki the mask, and he returns to Asgard along with his father Odin. Along the way, Loki asked Odin about reconciling his mother as Odin told him not to push it.
Powers and Abilities[]
As a god, Loki is immortal and omnipotent, and can do anything he wants, even bending and breaking the rules of the universe, time and space and warping reality (much like a cartoon character).
Trivia[]
- In the original myth, Odin and Loki are brothers by blood oath, not father and son, with the latter mirroring Loki's Marvel counterpart.
- He doesn't know that Stanley Ipkiss is the first owner of the mask because he never met him in the sequel.
