Notes:

Loki is currently several steps reincarnated from his original self. Loki was killed by the Sentry in Siege #4. Through previous bargains, he arranged for his soul not to travel to Mephisto's afterlife or the Asgardian realms of the dead controlled by Hela. As a result, he was reincarnated on Earth as the boy Serrure, whom Thor restored to his godly nature. This reincarnation of Loki as a pre-teen emerged in Thor (1st series) #617.

Kid Loki encountered Ikol, a magpie representing the consciousness of the original Loki, in Journey into Mystery #622. Thanks to calculations and events set in motion before his death, Loki ensured that Kid Loki fell into a situation where his soul had to be completely destroyed and replaced by Ikol in #644. Therefore, Loki is currently a copy of the original Loki inhabiting the body of his distinct reincarnated version. He manipulated Wiccan into helping him age from a pre-teen to a twenty-something in Young Avengers (2nd series) #11.
