As a mythology expert, I can tell you that in Norse mythology, Loki is a complex figure. His parentage is a subject of various interpretations. According to the Prose Edda by Snorri Sturluson, Loki is described as a brother of the giants Beli and Byleistr, which would make him a giant by birth. However, in the Poetic Edda, Loki is referred to as a "god of the Æsir", which suggests a different lineage. The Poetic Edda does not provide clear information about his parentage, and the Prose Edda is somewhat ambiguous, leading to scholarly debate.

In modern interpretations, particularly in popular culture influenced by Marvel Comics, Loki is often depicted as an adopted brother of the gods Odin, Thor, and Tyche, with no clear biological father mentioned. It's important to note that these are creative adaptations and may not align with the original mythological sources.
