Ares, the original god of war; vs. Loki, deceitful brother of the Mighty Thor! Who Is Deadliest?!

Ares

Powers: Immense size and strength; control over fire and all weapons created by him; has used flame-covered war hammers, axes, and swords; can extend six, blade-like limbs out of his back

X-Factor: Unrivaled expert in all weapons and fighting styles

Loki

Powers: Frost giant strength and stamina; master of sorcery, including mystical force bolts and shields, teleportation, transformation, and illusion casting; has employed Asgardian weapons such as spears, swords, and shields

X-Factor: Highly intelligent and cunning

My personal edge goes to Loki. He has proven himself able time and again to take out opponents like Ares. I think it will be a close battle, though, considering Ares' mastery of war.
