The Aesir of 2099 were created by Alchemax to counter the rise of vigilante heroes. Norse worship had risen considerably after the return and disappearance of Thor during the Heroic Age one hundred years ago, and so the corporation created "gods" from nanotech enhancements to dazzle and control the populace. Jordan Boone became Loki 2099, but later assumed his own identity as Halloween Jack.
Other Aesir included Thor, Heimdall, Baldur, Hela, and an Sif who failed to activate during creation.
