hmm, try the 3D Comic Collective http://www.3d-cc.com/ they probably won't have loki himself, but with bits and pieces from enough other superheroes/villains you can probably make your own version SewerRat

yes, true but then again, there is no specifics of what a norse demigod looks like, and pop culture does tend to borrow and corrupt everything with...wait a minute, I'm on holidays! gasp and I almost made an intelligible sentance runs screaming for the bar SewerRat

That version of Loki is based on Jack "King" Kirby's interpretation of the Norse god. Loki/Loge/Loche is a trickster god, capable of assuming any form (even animals, inanimate objects, etc.). According to the myths he was half Aesir (Norse God) and half giant...

Flev, it sounds like - despite all odds - Hercules - the Legendary Adventures came closer to a "true" Loki than any version elsewhere! And I thought they'd overplayed his evil; I know he's not the "benevolent" trickster common in American Indian myths (Manebozho, Coyote, etc.), but I didn't think he was as bad as the Efrits of Middle Eastern mythology (IIRC, Efrit/Efreeti/Afrit were the evil fire spirits that perverted wishes, Djinni were the neutral air spirits that "merely" granted them).
