Is Loki Killed Odin?

Published in Marvel Comics 1 min read

No, Loki did not kill Odin. However, he did play a significant role in Odin's disappearance and eventual death.

Odin's fate is more complex than a straightforward murder. Here's a breakdown:

  • Loki's Trickery: After faking his own death, Loki used magic to banish Odin to Earth (specifically, New York City). He then impersonated Odin and ruled Asgard in his place. This act contributed to Odin's eventual fate.

  • Odin's Exile and Death: While Odin eventually regained his memories and power, he chose to remain in exile in Norway. It was during this time that he passed away of natural causes, reaching the end of his exceptionally long lifespan. Loki’s actions indirectly led to the circumstances surrounding Odin’s death.

In essence, while Loki didn't directly murder Odin, his schemes and the subsequent banishment played a crucial role in the events leading to Odin's death.
