Warning: SPOILERS for Loki episode 3.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe could give the god of mischief his greatest weapon on Loki. The third MCU show on Disney+ is the first one to focus on a villain, with Tom Hiddleston reprising his fan-favorite role as Loki after Avengers: Endgame set up a way for his story to continue. The story of Loki so far has followed him working with the Time Variance Authority to find another Loki Variant, but the series also is giving Marvel Studios the time and opportunity to really explore Loki's psyche and desires.

Another way that Loki is changing and improving its leading anti-hero is through his powers. Loki has always had magical powers in the MCU but they've either been undefined or limited. That is changing in Loki, as the show has taken the time to explain the differences between Loki's powers and what other magicians can do. This has led to clarification on some important parts of Loki's past, including how he survived Thor: The Dark World. Although he loves his tricks, Loki is also a skilled fighter and his love of daggers is often on display. But, his greatest weapon is still missing from the MCU.

Marvel Comics recently introduced an Asgardian weapon known as the Sword of Truth, aka Gram. The sword was created after a time-traveling King Loki and young Odin were involved in killing a shapeshifter. Gram was meant to be used to get revenge against King Loki, but an Asgardian warrior used it until became empowered with truth magic. Odin locked Gram in a vault for eons and enchanted it with the hope that Loki would one day prove to be worthy enough to wield it. Loki eventually succeeded in claiming Gram as his own. Gram's truth magic gives it the power to pierce any lie, expose the hidden truths of an individual, and even free someone from corruption.

Through three episodes, Loki has yet to introduce Gram to the MCU, but it won't be too difficult for the Disney+ show to change that. The multiverse story, exploring branched timelines, and other Lokis make it the perfect place for such a reveal. Audiences have already met Sylvie, who seems to be the MCU's take on Lady Loki combined with Enchantress. There is an expectation that Richard E. Grant is playing Old Loki or King Loki in the series too. If that is the case, then he could already have Gram or helped set events in motion for that reality. Similarly, if Kid Loki appears in the series as an Agent of Asgard, he could already have Gram in his possession.

The introduction of Gram in Loki could be significant if it happens. Due to the sword's unique abilities, Loki could use Gram to expose the truth behind the TVA, Sylvie's motivations, and so on. Loki episode 3 confirmed the TVA lies about where the TVA agents come from, so Loki could stab Mobius M. Mobius with Gram to make the truth known to him. If Loki waits long enough, he could even use Gram on Judge Renslayer or even one of the Time-Keepers. The TVA seems to have plenty of secrets they don't want to be exposed, so the Sword of Truth could be exactly what Loki needs.
