Hm, I always got the feeling he liked Billy, hence trying to sabotage the relationship between him and Teddy (subconsciously, cus a lot of that came from 'Leah' but still) and of course he hit on Prodigy in the final issue. Tho it's a bit frustrating how we keep getting hints and almosts with Loki as far as relationships go. I am not saying i want him to get attached to someone on a permanent basis, but... when the most substantial 'relationship' he's had since the face turn was Zelma, which was only for a few issues, and then they broke up (tho he seemed interested in starting things again in Strange Academy) it's a bit frustrating. Guy or girl, new character or established, I'm not terribly picky about who, I just think it would be nice.
So, shower thought this morning, which would be another point in favour of Loki (or well, just someone besides Thor) taking over the throne, assuming it all goes in repeating cycles.... Odin was not the first to take the throne after Bor.
Cul was. And he ran things into the ground, which necessitated the throne to be seized from him by Odin. I can't believe this hadn't crossed my mind earlier. Now, Cul was an actual tyrant, while Thor is just incompetent, and I very much doubt Thor will have to be locked up for thousands upon thousands of years, only to come back as a villain later. (that honor may go to Blake. who was locked up by Loki, not Thor, so still fits.) But still... the succession between Bor and Odin wasn't direct, it had a blip with a bad ruler in between. Just saying.... Also, maybe Angela is the new goddess of Fear rather than War?
