Curious if anyone is watching Loki/ has figured out who the "Variant" is14968

Collector Darkseid_of_town private msg quote post Address this user
According to the article I read they suggested in the credits it labels the "Variant" as Sylvie.....aka my so far missing from the Marvel Universe, Enchantress!

Probably from 1945 when Steve Rogers created a branch reality.

With all the body hopping I was briefly thinking it could be the Space Parasite. But that seems unlikely.

Watch out for Dark Reign, Young Avengers 1..Sylvie Lushton's first app.

Sylvie Lushton herself was likely created by and imbued with Enchantress' powers by Loki. That she has strong ties to Loki is what makes it all the more likely that the "variant" that everyone thought would be Lady Loki is in fact Sylvie Lushton.

Are we sure it isn't Mephisto? I think it's Mephisto. And then Doctor Strange will show up and fix everything. Maybe I have things mixed up.

Someone emphatically said Mephisto does not show up in the “Loki” series. Could it be a misdirect? Sure. But I’m not sure.

Casey is Mephisto. Or a robot. Or both.
If you don't try to make sense of it, it makes perfect sense.

The girl who gets taken prisoner by the Variant at the beginning...pretty sure I recognize her from American Honey.

Fairly gritty coming-of-age movie with scenes that stick with you for a long time and might give you a new respect for Shia LeBouf.

Have to read the article, and see what it is saying...but no it isnt likely they would call Mephisto..Sylvie. The only Sylvie I know of is Syvlie Lushton, the Loki created incarnation of the Enchantress, who is known for just this sort of thing

@Darkseid_of_town I was being glib. If the character does turn out to be named Sylvie then it would certainly point toward the (non-Asgardian) Enchantress. But given that the MCU isn't a faithful adaptation of the comics I wouldn't be surprised if it were the original Enchantress, a female Loki, or maybe someone else entirely.

The woman in question wears green, has a horned mask similar to Loki's and when she uses her abilities it causes green effects similar to the ones the Scarlet witch made that were colored reds or pinks. When she is confronted by Loki and a woman, she manages to somehow enchant or mesmerize the woman completely....The credits name her as Sylvie to top it off. I think it would be a stunning storyline if this were the Sylvie Lushton Enchantress and a few episodes in we get the original Enchantress with a score to settle with this one...regardless, we will know soon enough.

I wonder myself, but if they used a female Loki wouldnt it still have dark hair itself and also be called Loki? (as opposed to Blonde and named Sylvie)

(PS me, I keep hoping its actually Zatanna making a crossover appearance in the MCU)

My thoughts are a female Loki from another time line/dimension..

Doesn't Variant mean same thing just a different cover or wrapper..

Yes, it should except this girl has powers and abilities Loki doesnt, and she also isnt male, isnt dark haired and is not apparently Asgardian

They literally had a discussion about how the Loki variants had different appearances and powers, right? And the TVA sure seems to think that she gives off Loki energy signals. Plus, to the chagrin and outrage of some, Marvel hasn't always casted people who look just like the character in the comics.

Which isn't to say it isn't Sylvie! I'm happy to see deep cuts so it would be cool if it is, or the 'regular' Enchantress. I'm just not putting all my money on it yet. The two TV shows so far have dealt with self-reflection a decent amount so it would be consistent to have Loki deal with himself as well.

Saw a theory today that it was Steve Rogers. They snatched him after he tried to stay with Peggy in '45. This is based on the fact that there was a woman who looked like Peggy being escorted in cuffs behind Loki at one point. And that she died without Steve by her side. They snatched them both and were black mailing Steve to do their work to keep Peggy safe.

I haven't sat down to watch the show, but it seemed like a good theory from what I had read.

Loki energy signals yes...Sylvie Lushton was a normal earth girl that Loki turned into Enchantress using his powers...why wouldnt she demonstrate Loki engery signals? I agree Marvel has not always cast people that resemble the characters, but this is a case of literally casting someone instead who entirely resembles the person they name in the credits by her own name! ve

Self reflection is still in play here since this was a normal girl that Loki turned into the Enchantress and caused to be an issue.

My own thinking is the TVA isnt who they say they are, and their purpose isnt being truly revealed....They are a facade for something else, and the enchantress is trying to stop them from doing whatever that is.

All I can say is that if we don’t get to see someone who didn’t know they were a robot melted by that robot checking machine, then what the hell is the point of the show?!

@lawguy1977 There's a robot melter? Cool, I must have missed that part. If it were to melt a crying Haley Joel Osment from A.I., that would really be something.

It's this thing that actually gave Loki pause to consider if he WAS indeed a robot before he walked through it

You must be referring to Ravonna Henslayer, introduced in Avengers 23. Spec is already happening for that book !!

Suppose the enchantress and Kang are working together......rut roh

Also something some might have missed, her Tiara has only a single horn.....in Young Avengers Dark reign, when young Loki joins, his crown also has the single horn like that.

Both Young Avengers, and now Young Avengers Dark reign seem destined to accelerate the pricing
