Lorelei

Lorelei is a fictional character appearing in the Marvel Comics universe.
She is based on the being of the same name from Germanic mythology.


Powers and abilities
Just as all Asgardians, she is extremely long-lived, aging at an extremely slow rate upon reaching adulthood.
Asgardian flesh and bone is about three times denser than human tissue, which gives her superhuman strength, durability and endurance.
And she is also immune to all Earth diseases, and resistant to conventional injury.
Lorelei also have the potential for having mystical powers like her sister, but she has chosen not to develop it.
In battle against Seth and his minions, she was introduced as firing mystical force bolts, a lot like her sister's.
After being resurrected by Seth, her magical powers were greatly enhanced, even beyond her sister, and she retained these heightened abilities in later years, which shown as equal to that of Pluto.
Lorelei's great beauty and seductive manner enable her to persuade any male god or mortal to do whatever she wants.
She also has some knowledge of sorcery, mostly pertaining to love charms and potions.
Her petrifying kiss could transform victims into a granite statue.
Loki Triumphant
Lorelei helps Loki to achieve the  Asgard.
After Loki defeats Thor and becomes the new master of Asgard, Lorelei returns to the castle and wants payment for helping him achieve his newfound status.
She is accompanied by many shadowy figures demanding their due for their part in making Loki master, but Loki grows bored listening to their demands and leaves.

In Asgard, Loki is bored, when he hears a noise coming from outside, he looks and sees warriors engaged in a forbidden Troll hunt.
The Troll is hiding until it sees Lorelei, a beautiful woman, who offers to help him.
When she gets close, she grabs it and hoists it up, winning the hunt with her feminine wiles and impressing the men.
Loki invites her back to his castle and despite Helgi's warnings, Lorelei accompanies Loki to his residence.
She agrees to help Loki trick Sif into leaving, so Loki turns into Thor and the two kiss.
When Sif finds them, she is furious and strikes them both to the ground before storming out.
Lorelei wonders if she has made a mistake and Loki tells her that she will succeed where her older sister, Amora the Enchantress, has always failed.

For the Love of Thor
Lorelei asks Loki to help her win Thor's love.
Loki agrees to take her to Manhattan to Thor if she agrees to perform a task for him in return.
As Loki command, Lorelei travels to a dangerous district in New York City to hypnotize the dragon Fafnir into attacking Thor.
Fafnir is not  hypnotized by Lorelei, and places her in a trap near the workplace of Thor's alter-ego, Sigurd Jarlson.
Thor(Jarlson)  finds and rescues the unconscious Lorelei, and fights Fafnir until the dragon flees.
He calls for an ambulance and before she is taken away, Lorelei makes it very clear that she is attracted to him and wants to thank him properly when she gets out.
Lorelei uses the name 'Melodi' and visits Jarlson at his place, wanting to thank him for saving her life.
She offers him some of her golden mead, which is really a love potion she concocted so the first person Jarlson sees he will fall in love with. .
Melodi and Jarlson go on several dates but none of them end in Jarlson drinking her mead.
Malekith the Accursed, ruler of the Dark Elves of Svartalfheim kidnaps her and leaves a duplicate Melodi to take her place.
When Thor visits "Melodi", he drinks the mead, falling madly in love with her.
Malekith tells him that the true Melodi was being held captive, and  in order to save her Thor have to bring him the Casket of Ancient Winters.
Thor along with Willis, defeating Malekith and rescuing Lorelei, kissing her passionately afterwards.
Willis questions how it is that Melodi recognized Jarlson as Thor.
Lorelei makes up an excuse then kisses Willis in private, to cast a spell on him that would stop him from questioning.
She gives Thor more of the mead to drink to finally fall in love with the real her without realizing that Willis had replaced it with an alternate drink.
While battle wages between Midgard and Asgard against Surtur and the Sons of Muspel, Enchantress (aka Amora)  asks that they put aside their years of rivalry and enmity to help Asgard.
Lorelei refuses, thinking that Amora is trying to lead her into a trap.
Amora vows revenge before disappearing.
After the battle, Loki brings Lorelei back to Asgard to help comfort Thor in hopes that it will help Loki to become Asgard's new ruler.
He has her take the elixir of Lofn, which when Thor inhales it, it will make him fall so deeply in love with her that he does whatever she says.
Lorelei was tiring of Thor, but she only agreed to Loki's scheme to help Thor become monarch himself so she will be the queen.
Amora appears and casts a spell on Odin's scepter, when Loki did pick it up, when Lorelei next saw Loki, she fell madly in love with him.
She believes that loving the heartless Loki would eventually destroy Lorelei emotionally.
Heimdall decides to save Thor from Lorelei's control, he asks Amora to urge Thor to visit Loki when she knows that Loki and Lorelei are in bed together.
Seeing them together sends him into a rage, temporarily overcoming the spell.
Thor hurls Mjolnir into the sky, and grabs Loki by the throat.
Loki releases Thor from his spell and Thor pushes Lorelei aside, leaving her to fawn over Loki.
Loki grows tired of Lorelei, so he yells at her and tells her to fetch him a drink.
Malekith stopped Lorelei and offers her a "love potion" to Loki so that he will love her in return.
But the potion knocks both Loki and Lorelei unconscious.
