Theory Briefing

  • A Reddit post with 1.7K votes and 349 comments argues the figure widely assumed to be a Cap variant is actually Loki in disguise.
  • The theory hinges on Thor already knowing about the multiverse, making a Cap variant appearance less surprising — and therefore less likely to be the intended reveal.
  • Loki's established shapeshifting ability makes him a natural candidate when a character's identity is left deliberately ambiguous in Marvel storytelling.
