Mind-Blowing Surprise: Loki Season 2 Unveils a Character with Unprecedented TVA Power

Summary

Loki season 2 introduces Ke Huy Quan's OB, who has even more control over the technology at the TVA than He Who Remains.

OB's responsibility encompasses the task of designing and repairing all the technology employed within the TVA, granting him substantial influence and potential authority.

OB's proficiency in technology is expected to play a vital part in assisting Loki in addressing his enigmatic ailment.

OB, a new character in Loki season 2, may have more authority within the Time Variance Authority than He Who Remains. Jonathan Majors, who portrayed Kang the Conqueror in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, first appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the He Who Remains variant of Kang in Loki season 1. However, after Sylvie killed He Who Remains, Loki season 2 introduces OB, played by Ke Huy Quan, who may possess even greater power within the TVA. According to executive producer Kevin Wright, OB is responsible for the technology at the TVA, designing and maintaining every piece of equipment. This suggests that OB has a significant influence over the TVA compared to He Who Remains.

“His job is basically every piece of tech, every computer, every thing that is running at the TVA. He either designed it, or he fixes it and keeps it running.”

How OB Fits Into Loki Season 2

In Loki season 2's trailer, fans got a preview of the upcoming time-hopping adventure. Additionally, we were introduced to Quan's MCU debut, as OB works in the TVA's "Repairs and Advancement" division. The executive producer of Loki commented on OB's vital role in handling all the technology at the TVA, which only adds to the excitement surrounding the new season.

A significant moment in the trailer showcased Mobius M. Mobius (played by Owen Wilson) seeking OB's assistance in uncovering the mysterious condition that the God of Mischief, played by Tom Hiddleston, is facing. With the emphasis on "time-slipping" in the trailers and promotional material, and considering OB's involvement in naming the condition, it appears that Quan's character will play a crucial role in helping Thor's brother navigate through this perilous situation in the upcoming season of Loki.

With the TVA undergoing reform in the likeness of Kang the Conqueror in the conclusion of Loki season 1, it is uncertain where OB's loyalties lie. If it is confirmed that the newcomer opposes the dominance of Kang variants in ruling the TVA, OB could become a valuable ally for Loki and Mobius. The newcomer's control over the technology of the TVA may prove vital in the second season of Loki, particularly with the introduction of the primary Kang variant, Victor Timely, who is renowned for his inventiveness. The clash between OB and Timely and their respective technological abilities could play a significant role in the storyline of Loki season 2.
