MCU Fan Comic Compares Spider-Man Vs Loki Variants First Meeting
A new Marvel Cinematic Universe fan comic strip compares the first meeting of Spider-Man and Loki variants. The MCU's multiverse was alluded to as far back as 2013's Thor: The Dark World before it was outright mentioned in 2016's Doctor Strange. It wasn't until 2019's Avengers: Endgame that alternate timelines/universes were explored. The MCU's fourth phase has brought its multiverse front and center with WandaVision, Loki, What If..?, and Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Disney+'s Loki introduces audiences to concepts like variants while further fleshing out the idea of alternate timelines. Taking place «after» Avengers: Endgame, the series follows The Avengers' version of Loki (Tom Hiddleston) circa 2012, who escapes with the Tesseract during the Avengers' time heist. After being arrested by the Time Variance Authority (TVA), Mobius M. Mobius (Owen Wilson) enlists the trickster's help in tracking down another Loki variant, Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino), who poses a threat to He Who Remains' (Jonathan Majors) ideal flow of time. Loki's love/hate relationship with himself/herself crescendos in season 1's final episodes. In episode 5, Loki encounters Classic Loki, Kid Loki, Boastful Loki, Alligator Loki, President Loki, and many more, all of which struggle to get along due to their propensity for treachery.

Where one group talks about great power/responsibility, bonds over science, and forms a brotherhood, the other, well, is just toxic. Check it out below:
