LOKI: Squadron Supreme Rumored To Appear In The God Of Mischief's Disney+ TV Series

We know that Tom Hiddleston's God of Mischief will match wits with the Time Variance Authority in Loki, but there are now rumblings that we'll see the Squadron Supreme in the show. Read on for details...

Bleeding Cool has shared a very interesting rumour about Loki in which they reveal that they've received word from sources on the production team that the show has been ordering a vast array of material, "with the common thread being the appearance of the Squadron Supreme."

There have been a number of iterations of that team in the comic books over the years, with their first appearance coming in the late 1960s when Roy Thomas and John Buscema introduced the group as Marvel's version of the Justice League. Members included heroes like Hyperion, Nighthawk, Power Princess, and the Whizzer. 

A more recent version of the Squadron Supreme has been made up of characters from alternate universes, something that would fit into a show like Loki seeing as he's travelling through time and realities. General "Thunderbolt" Ross has also assembled the group as the Squadron Supreme of America, but we're not anticipating seeing that version of the group in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

It's definitely going to be interesting seeing how this group factors into the Disney+ series, and this could be where we're introduced to America Chavez for the first time. 

Needless to say, this is just a rumour for now, and we probably won't get any sort of confirmation for some time to come. It's still early days on Loki, but with shooting currently taking place in Atlanta, perhaps we'll get lucky and see some set photos featuring members of this superhero team.

What do you guys think? 

Hit the "Next" button to take a look at the characters
we're hoping to see make an appearance in Loki.

Ikol

Ikol


A creation of Kieron Gillen's during his stellar Journey Into Mystery run, Ikol was the soul of Loki - the original, villainous version who died during Siege - trapped inside a magpie. 

He served as a confidant of sorts to the young God of Mischief and was ultimately revealed to be pulling the strings to ensure he could return to the land of the living. Seeing as we're getting something of a role reversal in Loki, what if it's the heroic version from Avengers: Endgame who tries to guide his villainous 2012 counterpart into doing the right thing in this series?
 

Karnilla

Karila


Karnilla has a storied history with Loki and has actually helped him battle Thor on a number of occasions now. However, she's often done so in a bid to protect the love of her life, Balder (who just so happens to be Thor and Loki's brother). 

Now serving in a more heroic capacity, Karnilla calls Nornheim, the province where the Three Norns, the Goddesses of Destiny live, her home. It's easy to imagine Loki wanting to use them to protect his destiny, so don't be surprised if these two end up crossing paths in the Disney+ series. 
 

Leah

Leah


Another of Gillen's creations, Leah hails from Hel and was the loyal servant and handmaiden to Hela. In the comics, she had something of a love/hate relationship with the young God of Mischief and eventually grows into an adult to become an ally to the Young Avengers.

Regardless of whether we get to see Kid Loki in this series, there's a lot that can be done with this character - even if she does end up undergoing some sort of reinvention for television. 
 

Verity Willis

Willis


Verity Willis is a relatively new creation and just so happens to be the granddaughter of the keeper of the Casket of Ancient Winters. After being imbued with powers courtesy of a magic ring as a child, she gains the ability to be able to see through any lie or illusion, something which makes her an interesting foil to Asgard's greatest trickster. 

They met during a speed dating night and an unlikely friendship soon followed. Thing got complicated after that, but as love interests go, Verity could be a fun character to use as part of this series. 
 

Thori

Thori


Thori is a hellhound the God of Mischief met in Hel and after freeing him, they became unexpected allies. Able to speak and a big fan of murder, Thori now serves a new master - Thor - and is one of the most memorable parts of Jason Aaron's Thor run.

You might think that this would be too weird for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but Marvel Studios is clearly taking some risks moving forward and it would be awesome to see this pooch appear here before eventually finding his way to fighting alongside Chris Hemsworth's God of Thunder.
 

Sylene

She


Sylene is Loki's daughter from another Earth and seeing as Marvel Studios will soon be exploring the concept of a Multiverse (not to mention the ramifications that come with time-travel), her making an appearance here might make sense. That's particularly the case if Loki winds up travelling forward in time in what is believed to be a time-hopping adventure for the villain. 

Like her father, she's a full-blown baddie, and it would certainly be interesting to see the God of Mischief match wits with his daughter in an alternate future if some sort. 
 

Lady Loki

Lady-Loki


Of course, if the plan is to introduce what would essentially be a female version of Loki, why not just go with Lady Loki? The God of Mischief took this form after Ragnarok when he stole Sif's body and there are already rumblings that the villain will undergo this transformation at some point.

It would be a cool thing to see happen, and if Tom Hiddleston is using this series to say goodbye to Loki, it's great to know that the iconic comic book character can live on in another form. 
 

Morwen

Morwen


Loki's been a busy man over the years and it was in the pages of Amazing Spider-Man that we learned he also had a human daughter called Tess. Unfortunately, an ancient being known as Morwen ended up finding her way back into our realm and possessed Tess due to her Godly blood. 

Morwen is a pretty obscure villain, but someone who might make an interesting foe for the God of Mischief. Loki having a daughter would also be pretty fascinating to explore, especially if we potentially get to see more of her down the line. 
 

Mephisto

Mephisto


Mephisto making his MCU debut is something that should have happened long ago, and with this shared world seemingly heading down a slightly more horror-inspired route in Phase 4, Loki would definitely be a fitting place to introduce...Hela's replacement?

Hel is going to need a leader and the character could easily be rebooted to fill that void. Either way, Loki and Mephisto have always had something of a fascinating relationship, and if he were to be given a role here, that could easily tie into WandaVision and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
 

Kid Loki

Kid


We've talked about Kid Loki a lot throughout this post, and while his world was definitely filled with some amazing supporting characters, he too was pretty damn awesome. 

Adapting the version of the character from the comics could be a little tricky as his origins were more than a little complicated, but if Loki is indeed travelling through time in the show, he could always cross paths with his younger, slightly less evil self! That would make for a fun couple of episodes and if he's a permanent addition to the MCU, that would be no bad thing. 

Which of these characters would you most like to see in Loki? Are there any other great suggestions we've missed? As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.

@comicfan100 - I agree. Holy fcuking shitts all the tv shows are having their own version of Justice League before DC Films. First CW, then Amazon's The Boys, and now potentially Marvel with Squadron Supreme.

RIP JL & Henry Cavill Superman

That’s pretty cool if true. Hyperion is near the very top of Marvel heroes I would love to see brought to live action even if this time it’s the villain version.
