Doom knows a thing or two about both magic, and draining powers. Loki is not bothered. From Siege, so carver, something from when you started reading comics.
If he reads vulcans mind he will know NOT to blast him.
He completely no sold Rogue when she tried to absorb his power.
And she had the power of Thor.
All the things I mentioned he can & will do.
The transmutation is the best bet, he has done it before, and he is capable of doing it again.
And Loki is A LOT smarter than Vulcan.
I see him reading his mind, realising he is waiting for hin to blast him, go Invisible...shapeshift into Vulcans dead mother(just read his mind and his past) Vulcan being a bit of a ****tard, "mom!"
Loki can now get close, and sticks the flame sword staight through Vulcans skull.
Well, basic knowledge rules apply. No one can argue about that.
Loki is sneaky, cunning, and clever. No one can argue about that.
He has other abilities aside from lol, blasts ftw! No one can argue about that.
Yes, so with all the basic knowledge Loki, one of the most cunning manipulators in Marvel, has, ESPECIALLY given his in-character penchant for avoiding straight up blasting battles, you still, IN CHARACTER, say that...what, he's going to try and out blast Vulcan?
Turn his powers off, mentally mess with him, drain him...the list goes on and Loki isn't beating Vulcan in a blasting match. I posted those because you are just throwing out stuff. Literally naming things Loki has done. So why not do the same. He literally stripped Rachel of her power and she had the Phoenix force. Good luck Loki.
You mentioned all the things Loki can do, and has done on a better scale.
Tricking a few fodder x-men?
Loki has tricked odin himself with a simple illusion, Thor time and time again, not only are they magic in nature they know Loki's tricks, and he still fools them.
Loki can OMNI blast, but hes not going to obviously.
Loki was fast enough to SEE radio waves & redirect them to donald blake.
Vulcan is outclassed by someone more powerful, & far more versatile, get me any GL and stand him next to Loki, and Loki's list of abilities will be longer.
Vulcan has complete control of his mind...He isn't getting tricked and Loki Knows Thor and Odin better than anyone. Of course he would know how to trick them.
