The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Loki may not be immortal, but he does have the knack to prove that he can easily cheat death as much as he wishes to.
As the God of Mischief, handling one Loki already caused quite the frenzy in the billion-dollar franchise, so what happens when more of him comes into the picture? Here is a list of every Loki variant in the series so far!

“Main” Loki aka 2012 Loki
Since the original MCU Loki died tragically at Thanos’ hands in Avengers: Infinity War, the Loki we’ve been tagging along with in the series is already a different version of him.
Less experienced and underdeveloped compared to his main counterpart in the MCU timeline, imagine watching the rebellious Loki phase taking charge of his own destiny in uncharted territories aka the Time Variance Authority.
Lady Loki aka Sylvie
Sophia Di Martino’s performance as Lady Loki/Sylvie has been nothing but accurate in projecting how she manages to outsmart Main Loki’s tactics despite having fewer powers than he does.
In the series, Sylvie’s main goal is to destroy the Time Variance Authority and uncover who’s been behind the manipulation of the Sacred Timeline.
While many fans were led to believe that Sylvie is Marvel Comics’ second incarnation of Enchantress, the Loki variant claims herself to be an Asgardian who was banished to Earth.
President Loki
Perhaps one of the most prominent and topmost favorites amongst MCU fans, President Loki would be the most conniving variant to trust compared to the other Lokis.
He embodies the God of Mischief’s nature of double-crossing his own colleagues and opponents, but most especially in fooling his army of Loki into thinking he could be an actual ally to them.
Classic Loki
The classic 1960s Loki from the Marvel Comics officially made his debut in the series, thanks to Richard E. Grant.
This Loki variant is evidently smarter and more powerful than the rest of the other Loki’s, especially since he had the intellect to set up an illusion of himself before the Mad Titan Thanos.
Unlike what the main Loki did in the MCU, which was to face the purple giant without any backup plan, classic Loki outwitted Thanos and survived.
Boastful Loki
Played by DeObia Oparei, Boastful Loki is all talk but no bite. While he seems to have fashioned himself the new wielder of Thor’s hammer Mjolnir in his timeline, he doesn’t seem to have its powers at his bidding.
He claimed to have defeated the likes of Captain America and Iron Man and even so far as to claim all six Infinity Stones by himself, only to be called out a liar by Alligator Loki.
Alligator Loki
Nope, you read that right. Remember that Loki can transform himself into the animal he wishes to take form in. Although, this isn’t the case with Alligator Loki.
This Loki variant shares a special bond and connection with Classic Loki and Kid Loki, seeing as they are the only variants who can understand his growls (as much as the Guardians of the Galaxy understand Groot’s).
What brought Alligator Loki into the picture is the fact that he “ate the wrong neighbor’s cat” and it doesn’t get any cuter than that.
Kid Loki
Kid Loki, portrayed by Jack Veal, is a Loki variant whose adult form died and was reborn as a child in the Thor comics run in 2007.
Although he doesn't seem as threatening and as cunning as the rest of the Loki variants we’ve met along the way, Kid Loki is much more powerful than he looks.
He wields a golden blade, and even though we didn’t get to see the extent of his powers, this variant has been rumored to eventually become a part of the MCU’s Young Avengers.

Other Loki Variants Teased in the Series
While we got to see more variations in the previously mentioned Loki variants, the Loki series introduced a couple more from the Time Variance Authority’s projector.
The Lokis that were seen include:
Frost Giant Loki (Loki’s form if he hadn’t been abandoned by his own race), Tour de France Loki (well, cyclist Loki who won in Tour de France), Hulk Loki (a bit on-the-nose joke for when he was beaten by the Green Goliath like a doll), Bearded Loki, and Viking Warrior Loki.
It’s difficult to tell whether we’ll actually be seeing these variants come to life on the small screens in Loki Season 2.
There’s a high chance that they were simply used as a presentation to identify the endless possibilities of variants every MCU character could have within the alternate universes.
The majority of them don’t exactly seem to be quite useful in the heroic or villainous sense in the current timeline, after all.
For now, we’ll be seeing the return of the two main Loki variants, 2012 Loki and Sylvie, return for more adventures and shenanigans in Loki Season 2.
