History
Lorelei's is a member of the race of Asgardians, and thus possesses superhuman strength, endurance, and resistance to injury. She has studied certain magic spells to aid in her seduction. If she so chooses, she can cause any man to fall in love with her. She can raise the effectiveness of her seduction with magic potions. Lorelei also possesses a petrifying kiss, transforming victims into a granite statue.
Lorelei is the younger sister of the sorceress Amora the Enchantress. The two sisters share an interest in using their beauty and wiles to dominate any male as they wish. However, unlike Amora, Lorelei has had no interest in mastering sorcery apart from learning certain skills to aid her in her amatory pursuits.
Loki, the Asgardian god of evil, chose Lorelei to seduce his longtime enemy, his stepbrother Thor, god of thunder. Needing no persuasion, she went to New York City on Earth where she claimed to be a mortal human being named Melodi. There she confronted Thor's old enemy, the dragon Fafnir. Fafnir used his hypnotic abilities to overpower Lorelei, capturing her as bait to lure Thor into a trap at the construction site where he worked in his secret identity of Sigurd Jarlson. As Jarlson, Thor saved Lorelei from death, and then fought the dragon in his godly identity. Hence Thor and Lorelei first met in their false identities as the humans Jarlson and Melodi.
Jarlson and Melodi became friends, and Melodi was clearly attempting to deepen the relationship into a romance. Circumstances, however, prevented her from getting Jarlson to drink the love potion she had prepared originally for Thor. Lorelei was then kidnapped by Thor's foe Malekith the Accursed, leader of the Dark Elves. Malekith used sorcery to cause a stick of wood to take on the appearance of Melodi and this magically animated false Melodi gave Jarlson the potion to drink. Under the spell, Thor fell uncontrollably in love with Melodi (since the first "woman" he saw bore her appearance). Malekith then revealed to Thor that the real Melodi was his prisoner. Thor, enraged, rescued Melodi from the Dark Elves.
Soon afterward the demonic Surtur began his war against Asgard. Amora was infuriated by Lorelei's refusal to join in fighting Surtur's demonic hordes, and decided to take vengeance on her. Odin, monarch of Asgard, vanished along with Surtur at the war's end. Loki then planned to use Lorelei to influence Thor to throw his support behind Loki's bid to become Asgard's new ruler. Loki gave Lorelei the elixir of Lofn, which, when Thor inhaled its vapors, would made Thor fall so deeply in love that he became Lorelei's slave. To take revenge on Lorelei, the Enchantress cast a spell on Odin's scepter of power, knowing that Loki would pick it up, as indeed he did. Due to the spell, when Lorelei next saw Loki, she fell madly in love with him. The Enchantress believed that loving the heartless Loki would eventually destroy Lorelei emotionally. Loki naturally responded to Lorelei's new interest in him.
Thor's friend Heimdall realized that Thor was under Lorelei's control, and devised a plan to save him. He had the Enchantress urge Thor to visit Loki when she knew that Loki and Lorelei were in each other's arms. Thor's rage at seeing them together made him realize he himself was under a spell. He forced Loki to release him from the spell on pain of death, and then left the two of them together. As the Enchantress predicted, Loki grew tired of Lorelei eventually. Lorelei broke free of the spell and now lives alone in a palace somewhere in Asgard.
