Thor and Loki

Asgardian sibling rivals

Thor and Loki are gods from Norse mythology, often paired as contrasting figures—Thor the straightforward thunder god, Loki the cunning trickster.

In contemporary usage, the names evoke the Marvel Comics versions: the noble hammer-wielding hero and his scheming adopted brother.

They have a real Thor and Loki dynamic—one's all brawn, the other's all schemes.
