Since being introduced in the first Thor movie, Tom Hiddleston’s Loki became a fan favorite, resulting in a revival and a spin-off series, Loki, that has further expanded its fanbase. As season 2 is close to release, Marvel Comic’s Squadron Supreme is expected to debut in the MCU with it.
The first season of Loki helped expand the MCU, giving the universe its next big bad, Kang the Conqueror. Season 6 saw He Who Remains killed by Loki’s variant Sylvie, allowing variants of He Who Remains to run amok the universe.
