Who wins and why?

Dr. Fate has way more raw power. He should win.

fate

depends on which fate, the fight will either be a stomp or a close win

Kent I -Fate stomps
Hector - Fate stomps
Eric - Fate wins by the skin of his teeth (Loki can take 4.5/10)
Linda - Fate (marginally better than Eric)
Inza - Fate 6/10
Jarred - Fate 9/10 but only because Loki can't trick him (he sees thru lies) and his magic can't affect him.
Kent V - Fate 7/10
Khalid (Earth 2 Nu52) - Loki with consumate ease.

Current Loki has been hard to pin down. But between Jason Aaron, Daniel Kibblesmith, Gerry Duggan and Al Ewing, I can only conclude that Loki is more powerful than ever.

God of Nothing Loki was doing gnarly things against a stacked Avengers group. God(dess) of Stories Loki was a narrative plot device that stymied a Beyonder within the Beyond. God of Outcasts Loki could literally retcon his own Marvel history.

Current Loki is far beyond illusions and brute force magic. And has been for a while.

Fate.

On the other hand, Lawest hasn't cracked open a comic since the Cold War.

On the other hand, Lawest hasn't cracked open a comic since the Cold War. And that's the thing about Loki. God of Outcasts Loki is basically just an amped God of Nothing Loki whose new "power" is that his memories become history. Then, at the conclusion of Defenders Beyond, God(dess) of Stories Loki reintegrated herself into God of Nothing/Outcasts Loki.

And this current version of Loki? He has the Eternity Mask.

Loki is less a character and more a personified plot device at this point. Something that was carried forward from Kieron Gillen's classic run of Kid Loki.

So I'm not sure what version of Dr. Fate is supposed to be capable of defeating Loki at this point. But I'm interested in hearing such arguments all the same. I am not as well-read on Dr. Fate as other characters.

^ Next time, make it clear in your OP. But given that this thread hasn't even gone beyond a single page, whatever.

Current Loki w/ Eternity Mask kicks the sh1t out of every Dr. Fate mentioned so far.

Anybody who wants to argue that canonicity or result, please do so. I am legitimately interested.

Kent would stomp. Not sure about the others, though.

The new Loki miniseries is being penned by Dan Watters who wrote the last volume of Lucifer.

Loki is still the God of Stories. Seems like he's using 4th wall panel manipulation shenanigans still. Be very interested to see where Dan Watters takes him.
