Is Loki a Nexus Being in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

The concept of a Nexus Being in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is a fascinating and complex topic, with much of the discussion stemming from the latest developments in the Loki series. As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, there is no definitive information on the status of Loki as a Nexus Being following the events of Loki Season 2. To stay updated with the latest developments, visiting the official Marvel content or website is recommended.

Loki’s Journey as a Nexus Being

During the Infinity Saga, Loki came close to being a Nexus Being. With his hold on all time streams, he essentially became the Nexus itself, not just a Nexus Being. The idea that Loki holds all time lines together in his hands and becomes the hero he always wanted to be is a compelling one. Interestingly, as he held the timelines, he created Yggdrasil, the Norse Tree of Life, suggesting a profound connection between the temporal and the cosmic.

Defining a Nexus Being

A Nexus Being, drawing from a Doctor Who analogy, is a fixed point in space-time, an event that is unavoidable and has inherent, unbreakable power. Loki, as we know, is not born that way. He becomes godlike through the multiversal influence, but his transformation is unique to his own timeline and not an innate quality in all versions of Loki.

Consider Reed Richards, who, despite communing across the multiverse, does not become a Nexus Being. He becomes a godlike being, powerful but not a fixed point in space-time. It is only one version of Loki that achieves this level of power and control over the multiverse. This version of Loki holds a unique and pivotal role in the cosmic fabric of the MCU.

Wanda as a Nexus Being

Wanda, like Loki, has a significant role in the multiverse, but her potential as a Nexus Being may be even more profound. Unlike Loki, who is a single character across multiple timelines, Wanda remains the same across all cosmoses. This constancy gives her the power to affect the entire multiverse, not just one specific timeline. Her innate ability to influence the multiverse, therefore, makes her a more complex and intriguing candidate for the title of Nexus Being.

Conclusion: The status of Loki as a Nexus Being is still a matter of speculation, with the potential for significant developments in future MCU content. Whether Loki’s unique multiversal influence makes him a Nexus Being or Wanda’s constancy across all cosmoses does, the answer remains to be seen. Stay tuned for the latest updates in the MCU!
