In Norse mythology, Loki's parents are the giant Fárbauti and the goddess Laufey, which always makes the family drama in those stories extra complicated. Speaking of complicated families, I was just reading a story called 'Daddy and Mommy' that takes the whole 'who's your real parent' tension to an extreme, following two kids who discover their seemingly perfect guardians might be keeping a dangerous secret about their origin. It's a pretty gripping setup for anyone who likes those mythological family mysteries but in a modern thriller package.
In the Marvel Comics universe, Loki's origins combine elements of actual myth and creative storytelling: He calls Laufey, king of the Frost Giants -- a race from the realm of Jotunheim. But after a conflict with those giants that took everything but his life, Loki was 'rescued' and adopted by Odin, the ruler Asgard. As a result, it is Odin's queen, Frigg, who becomes Loki's "mother"; together with her biological son Thor, he is reared in their home. It is this background that makes Loki a character divided between two worlds: His mother was Hrimthursan, of 'Jotunheim' in order to match the recounting seen in our earlier version--but by now you should have guessed that Hrimthursan need not remain a reliable guide betwixt points A through Z about Loki's origins. It's a key to the ill-feeling between Loki and his 'brother' Thor in our following paragraphs.
Ah, loki's parenthood is quite a tale! In Marvel Comic lore, he's the son of the Frost Giant King, Laufey, making him a full-blooded Jotun. This is why he's often referred to as 'Loki Laufeyson'. However, after a battle, Odin found Loki and adopted him, raising him as his own son alongside Thor in Asgard. So, in a non-biological sense, Odin and his wife Frigg are Loki's parents, too. This duality forms a big part of Loki's identity and his complicated relationship with his family.
If you're a fan of Thor or the Avengers, then you may be asking just why Loki the God of Mischief is still doing bad stuff at this late date. According to the nordic mythology, Loki is the son of Farbauti, the jötunn, Laufey, who has been interpreted as another jötunn, mother But Marvel Comics has changed this tale somewhat. In this version of events, Loki is the adopted son of Odin, King Asgard and Frigg his wife. In Marvel's stories, Loki's father is Laufey, King of Frost Giants from Jotunheim. His mother is not named. And so, Loki is halfway between Asgardian and Frost Giant, his unique background gives added depth to the character.

My three-year-old son looked nothing like my husband.
Suspicious, my father-in-law secretly took my son for a paternity test. The results showed that there was no biological relationship between them.
Furious and humiliated, my father-in-law erupted in anger, hurling insults at me and even threatening to kill us.
My husband, just as enraged, slapped me hard across the face. "You shameless wrench! You've made me raise another man's child for three years!"
As I stared at their accusing faces, I calmly produced another report—the paternity test between my husband and his father. It confirmed they weren't biologically related either.
Their expressions froze in shock. With a faint smile, I said, "Looks like we don't know for sure who isn't part of this family, do we?"
