Loki Theory: Mobius Is Actually ... Odin?

"Loki" Season 2 might have dropped a significant clue behind the real identity of Mobius M. Mobius (Owen Wilson), with a fan theory suggesting he is a variant of the trickster god's adoptive father, Odin (Anthony Hopkins).

In "Loki" Season 2, Episode 5, "Science/Fiction," Loki's (Tom Hiddleston) Time Slipping sends him to branched timelines where his friends are placed back in their original lives. He finds Mobius, his closest ally at the Time Variance Authority, calling himself Don and working as a salesman at Piranha Watersports. Before convincing him to join him in trying to fix the chaos surrounding the timelines, Loki learns that Don has two sons, Sean and Kevin. On Reddit, u/racas theorized that Mobius' kids are actually Thor and Loki, saying, "Kevin is Loki, plays with fire, burns his toys, runs away, and has a green bicycle. Sean is Thor, has a red bicycle, is counted on to bring his brother under control, and loves snakes." Of course, this would mean Don represents Odin.

Even the name itself lends support to the theory — "Don" is one letter short of "Odin." On top of that, there's additional evidence from Season 1 that hints Mobius is actually a variant of the All-Father, as unlikely as it might seem.

Odin and Mobius can feel the same way when it comes to Loki. In "Thor: The Dark World," Odin calls out his son as a destructive force, saying, "Wherever you go, there's war, ruin, and death." In "Loki" Season 1, Mobius echoes the sentiment, telling Loki, "Wherever you go, it's just death, destruction, the literal end of worlds."

On the other hand, Mobius believes in Loki more than Odin does. In a scene in stark contrast to Odin's often cold nature toward Loki, he says, "You could be whoever, whatever you wanna be. Even someone good. I mean, just in case anyone ever told you different."

So even if Mobius isn't a variant of Odin, he serves a vital role in Loki's life. In many ways, he's the father figure the former villain never had (although Twitter is convinced Loki is in love with Mobius). As intriguing as these theories are, it remains to be seen whether Mobius is actually Odin in disguise, a variant of the powerful Marvel god, or simply Don.
