Loki Laufeyson (Earth-90012)

The small Frost Giant called Loki was born after a long battle between the Asgardians and Frost Giants came to an end. Found in the wreckage by the Allfather, Odin, Loki was taken to Asgard and raised as a Prince alongside his adoptive brother, Thor. Loki was never too interested in inheriting the throne, unlike Thor, who seemed hellbent on proving himself worthy to their father. Loki rather felt a closer kinship with his adoptive mother, Freyja, who taught him the ways of witchcraft and trickery. He soon found himself often playing pranks on his brother and father. Although well-intentioned, Odin did not find it amusing. Hoping to discipline Loki, he banished him to the realm of Midgard so that he could live among "the animals". Loki was shocked by how different the cultures were on the two worlds, and after witnessing several atrocities committed by humanity, he decided to try and use his powers to make a difference, by simply making karma come to life on those who did wrong. He soon became a legend among the people of Earth, and came to love his new life.

Loki was eventually recruited into the Outsiders when they needed a team of heroes to repair the damage done to the multiverse by an alternate version of his father, which Loki happily obliged. After the mission was complete, Loki was also more than happy to stay with the Outsiders and continue doing good across all of reality.

Trivia

Loki was recruited as one of the "New Outsiders", and was one of the three to remain with the team, the others being Jubilee and Spider-Man.
After first being recruited, Loki had a complicated relationship with Ms. Marvel, as she held disdain for Asgardians. He did everything he could to make her realize he is not the same as the ones she knew. When the Outsiders later ventured to her reality, Loki ended up killing the alternate version of himself, and the two finally came to terms with each other.
Loki appears in the animated film Age of the Outsiders voiced by Jason Spisak. Spisak had previously voiced the character in Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 3: the Black Order.
