Loki (Stargate)
From Free net encyclopedia
Loki is a fictional character in the science fiction television series Stargate SG-1 voiced by Peter DeLuise.
Loki is a rogue Asgard scientist who planned on finding a way to cure his species from the decay of their genome caused by their constant cloning. While the majority of the Asgard were searching for a new home after their previous home was destroyed by the Replicators, Loki came to Earth in order to do genetic research on Colonel Jack O'Neill. In order to accomplish this Loki cloned Col. O'Neill so he could study the original for a prolonged period of time without arousing suspicion of the SGC. Due to a marker placed in Col. O'Neill's DNA, the clone stopped his rapid maturation in his teens, rather than becoming fully mature. When the cloned O'Neil also had dreams about an Asgard standing over him, the SGC suspected foul play and searched for a way to capture the unknown Asgard. While researching O'Neill's dream, they encountered more people who experienced the same situations as the Colonel. However, none of them ended up becoming younger. SG-1 developed a plan to capture the Asgard, and when Loki beamed up the young O'Neill, the clone was able to stun the Asgard with a Zat. Afterwards he beamed up his teammates, who discovered the Asgard's identity. Shortly thereafter Thor arrived and revealed that Loki has been doing non-sanctioned experiments on humans for some time. Loki was taken into Thor's custody, his experiments having come to naught.
