| - When Loki formed an alliance with the Other and the alien Chitauri, he was given a powerful golden scepter adorned with a glowing blue gem encircled by silver blades. Loki raided S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Project PEGASUS facility, using the scepter to fire energy beams at agents and take over the minds of Clint "Hawkeye" Barton, Dr. Erik Selvig, and others. After escaping with the Tesseract and his mind-controlled victims, Loki allowed himself to be captured during a heist at Germany's Stuttgart Museum, giving Tony Stark and Bruce Banner time to examine the scepter aboard a S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier. While Selvig used the Tesseract to build a portal to Earth for the Chitauri, the scepter subtly influenced the S.H.I.E.L.D.-gathered heroes' misgivings about each other, distracting them with arguments while Hawkeye and Loki's mind-controlled soldiers attacked the Helicarrier. Loki escaped captivity, and impaled Agent Phil Coulson in the back with his scepter, killing him. With the portal activated atop Stark Tower in New York City, the Chitauri invaded Earth and battled the Avengers. During the battle, Loki's attempt to mind-control Stark failed due to the miniature Repulsor Technology unit in Stark's chest. However, Loki successfully blasted the Quinjet carrying Hawkeye and Black Widow out of the sky. After the monstrous Hulk defeated Loki, Selvig, now freed from Loki's control, revealed he had designed the scepter as a safety to cut off the portal's power. Black Widow closed the portal to the Chitauri, and the scepter was left with S.H.I.E.L.D.
