Loki, the God of Mischief, has always been a character full of surprises.
His cunning and magical abilities have made him one of the most compelling figures in the Marvel Universe.
But have you ever noticed that Loki possesses abilities that closely resemble those of the four Infinity Stones?
Without physically wielding them, Loki has displayed powers that align with the Mind Stone, Space Stone, Reality Stone, and even the Time Stone.
Let’s explore how Loki has tapped into these cosmic abilities throughout his journey.

The Mind Stone: Loki’s Power of Enchantment
The Mind Stone grants its bearer the ability to control and influence others, a power Loki famously wielded in The Avengers (2012) when he used the scepter containing the Mind Stone.
With it, he bent the wills of characters like Hawkeye and Dr. Selvig to serve his purposes.
However, Loki’s mastery of mind control is not solely dependent on the Mind Stone.
In Loki season 1, we see Loki demonstrate his innate ability to enchant.
Loki & Sylvie manage to enchant Alioth, a creature of vast power, revealing that his mind control powers run deep within him, independent of any external artifact.
This moment underscores that Loki’s connection to the Mind Stone is more than just circumstantial, it’s a reflection of his inherent ability to influence and manipulate the minds of others.
The Space Stone: Loki’s Mastery of Teleportation
The Space Stone, also known as the Tesseract, enables its user to teleport across space and open portals to different locations.
Loki has used the Tesseract multiple times in the MCU, most notably to escape from precarious situations.
Yet, as with the Mind Stone, Loki’s teleportation skills are not solely reliant on this stone.
In the Loki series, we witness variants of Loki, such as Classic Loki, using portals to teleport when there is a fight happening between Loki variants.
This suggests that the ability to move through space and create portals is a power that Loki himself can tap into, even without the Space Stone.
Loki’s skill in teleportation aligns closely with the Space Stone’s capabilities, highlighting his natural affinity for moving through and manipulating space.
The Reality Stone: Loki’s Illusionary Powers
The Reality Stone allows its wielder to manipulate reality itself, crafting illusions and altering the physical world.
Loki’s talent for creating illusions is one of his most defining characteristics, evident from his earliest appearances in the MCU.
Loki’s mastery of illusion goes far beyond simple tricks. He can alter the perception of reality to such an extent that even powerful beings are deceived.
Whether he’s duplicating himself, making himself invisible, or altering the appearance of his surroundings, Loki’s abilities resonate with the Reality Stone’s powers.
His skill in bending reality to his will further cement his connection to this cosmic force.
As he ages and gains experience, like Classic Loki, he could even recreate the entire Asgard, as demonstrated in the scene with Alioth.
Beyond the Time Stone: Loki’s Mastery Over Time and the Multiverse
In Loki Season 2, the God of Mischief reveals a connection to time through his journey into the Temporal Loom, the heart of the multiverse where all time branches converge.
With newfound time-travel abilities, Loki navigates this intricate web, weaving together disparate timelines into a cohesive reality.
This manipulation of time and destiny mirrors the power of the Time Stone.
As Loki gathers these temporal threads, infused with his signature green energy, he stands at the center of a visual reminiscent of Yggdrasil, the World Tree.
His actions bind the multiverse, allowing branching realities to coexist.
Unlike the TVA’s rigid Sacred Timeline, Loki’s creation embraces chaos and choice, reshaping the multiverse and demonstrating a power that is even beyond the Time Stone itself.
After the end of Loki Season 2, it’s clear Loki has some serious power.
