The excitement around everyone’s favorite God of Mischief getting his own series—Loki, now in the midst of its 6-week run on Disney+—grows each time a new episode is released.

He used the Tesseract (the mystical blue cube, Infinity Stone inside, that grants its user the ability to manipulate time and space) to disappear from the lobby of Stark Tower. So far, Loki has been a big hit, and fans have been loving the story that picks up after Loki awakes far away, and is led to answer to the Time Variance Authority for his crimes against the timeline.
