When we talk about the titans of the Marvel Universe, Odin often comes up as a symbol of immense strength and authority.
But just how powerful is Odin, especially when compared to cosmic entities like the Infinity Stones or the all-controlling Time Variance Authority (TVA)?
Let’s explore together Odin’s unparalleled abilities, showcasing scenarios where even the mightiest forces in the Marvel Universe pale in comparison to his power.

Magic Nullified in the TVA
During the gripping first season of “Loki,” our favorite trickster god, Loki, finds himself unexpectedly powerless under the strict oversight of the Time Variance Authority (TVA).
Captured for causing a ruckus in the sacred timeline, Loki quickly learns that his usual bag of magical tricks is useless in a TVA trial after that.
The authority’s ability to strip away powers that beings rely on speaks to their profound enforcement capabilities and hints at the extensive reach of their technology or magic, capable of dominating any external mystical forces.
Even Infinity Stones Turned Useless
The TVA’s power extends even to the Infinity Stones—relics of immense power that have shaped the history and structure of the universe.
Outside the TVA, these stones are artifacts of unparalleled might, evidenced most famously when Thanos used them to wipe out half of all life in the universe.
This act alone showcases their monumental power, as not even beings as formidable as Thor, the God of Thunder, could stop Thanos once he wielded the complete Gauntlet.
Yet, within the walls of the TVA, these same stones that orchestrated cosmic genocide and defined epochs are rendered completely inert.
They’re used as mere paperweights on the desks of TVA bureaucrats.
This striking contrast not only underscores the triviality with which the TVA views these cosmically significant objects but also highlights the unnerving extent of their control.
Odin’s Enchantment Defies the Odds
In this environment where both magic and cosmic stones are powerless, one remarkable exception stands out—Odin’s magic.
Odin had used his powers to alter Loki’s very nature, transforming him from a Frost Giant into an Asgardian.
Intriguingly, despite the TVA’s dampening field, this particular spell remains effective.
Loki continues to appear as an Asgardian, suggesting that Odin’s magical abilities are uniquely potent and perhaps operate on a different level or through mechanisms the TVA cannot counter.
It might suggest that Odin’s magic, woven into the fabric of Loki’s being, is so deeply integrated that it becomes immune to external suppression, or in other words that Odin, aware of entities like the TVA, crafted his spells to withstand such formidable oversight.
Like Father, Like Son
When Odin adopted Loki and transformed him from a Frost Giant to an Asgardian, he did more than change his appearance; he imbued Loki with the robust magical essence of Asgard.
This enchantment, which allowed Loki to survive and even manipulate extreme Temporal Loom’s forces that would overwhelm any ordinary being, underscores the extraordinary potency of Odin’s powers.

If even this “simple” magic can overcome the suppressive environment of the TVA, where even the mighty Infinity Stones are rendered useless, imagine the full scale of Odin’s own capabilities.
Last Words
As we’ve seen through the examples laid out, Odin’s power transcends the typical boundaries established by some of the most formidable forces we’ve encountered in the Marvel Universe.
His magic not only persists in environments where all other mystical and cosmic powers fail but thrives, protecting and altering the very essence of his son, Loki.
This level of power redefines what it means to be a supreme being in Marvel’s vast cosmos.
