The following contains spoilers for episode 2 of Loki on Disney Plus.

The action ramps up in Loki as the titular character gets to go on three time traveling trips in "The Variant." In order to ingratiate himself with the Time Variance Authority, Loki cooperates in researching his own variant. After reading files on his own life, Loki discovers something that the TVA hasn't, proving himself a valuable asset. That doesn't necessarily mean anyone wants to trust him.

While the missions continue, so do the Easter eggs. In this episode, there are plenty of nods to the comics, the wider Marvel Cinematic Universe, and a few meta winks as well. Those hiding the Easter eggs for fans to find clearly enjoy the 1990s as well as reminding comic book fans of the source material.

The first trip Loki takes with the TVA is to Oshkosh, Wisconsin in the 1980s. A Renaissance Faire appears to be the latest target of the Loki Variant. Oshkosh won't have a significance to MCU fans, but it might be familiar to long time comic book fans.

Comic creator Mark Gruenwald was born in Oshkosh. While Gruenwald has an incredibly prolific comic book career, he's also significant when it comes to Mobius M. Mobius. The character was created in his likeness as an Easter egg for comic book fans. Gruenwald gave a nod to his hometown in comics when he made it the home to the character Quasar.

When Loki learns about all the variants the TVA has had to stop that share his likeness, the designs of a few of them are right out of the comics. The Viking version of Loki in particular looks to be based on the design of the character during the third volume of The Mighty Thor series.

One other notable variant is a Frost Giant version of the character. Thor fans will remember that Loki's true heritage isn't Asgardian, but Frost Giant. Nods to Loki's birth are present throughout the episode as well. Mobius references him as "a scared little boy shivering in the cold," and an "ice runt," really driving the point of his parentage home.

When Loki decides to do a little research in the library, a familiar musical cue is heard for movie fans. It's Bach's "Orchestral Suite No. 3 In D Major."

The name might not be recognizable to everyone, but fans of the movie Se7en will recognize it. The same music is played in that movie when the characters head to the library to investigate a killer. It even plays while Loki, like the other characters, is in the middle of the stacks.

While Judge Renslayer still doesn't appear much in this particular episode, her comic book name, Ravonna, is used by Mobius. The audience also gets a peek into her office. While it's full of souvenirs from different cases, the souvenirs themselves aren't Easter eggs, but there are a few.

The door to her office is patterned with the same hourglass symbol that makes up the middle of the TVA's logo. Turned on its side for part of the pattern, it resembles the symbol for infinity as well, which is fitting for an organization with the refrain "for all time."

At the end of the episode, Ravonna grabs gear from her days as a hunter. One of the items on the shelf is the helmet she used to wear with the designation A-23 on it. That sequence is definitely an Easter egg. Avengers #23 is the comic book issue in which Ravonna Renslayer first appears.

Mobius calls attention to Ravonna's pen earlier in the episode. The pen is from Franklin D. Roosevelt High School. That particular school doesn't exist in the MCU that the audience knows of. The president, however, appeared in the comics as the one to present Captain America with his shield. He also had a role to play in the final season of Agents Of SHIELD when the titular team traveled to the past, believing they needed to foil an assassination attempt, but Roosevelt wasn't the target. The pen could be a bit of foreshadowing, but it might not be connected to either of those events at all. It might be its own Easter egg.

Plenty of fans have called attention to the fact that TVA doesn't just stand for Time Variance Authority. In the real world, it's the acronym for the Tennessee Valley Authority. The real TVA was created in response to the Great Depression in 1933. The president to sign it into action was Roosevelt himself. If the pen is a nod to that, it's a very meta Easter egg.

When Loki is getting ready for research, the number 372 is large and noticeable behind him. If that number isn't chosen at random, it's likely a nod to The Mighty Thor #372. That particular issue featured only the second appearance of the TVA in Marvel comics.

The number 26 is also notably featured in the episode. It appears on the wall when Mobius and Loki are at the TVA lockers, but also in the Roxxcart sequence. While not every number in a comic book property is going to be an Easter egg, it appearing twice in the episode will likely make Easter egg hunters take notice. It could easily be a reference to numerous comic books, but the most likely appears to be Journey Into Mystery #26. The issue featured two different stories that were heavy on the science fiction instead of fantasy, much like the Loki series. One of the stories, "The Machine," is about a sentient calculator created by a society it gets bored with.

While Thor: Ragnarok being referenced isn't really an Easter egg, what is interesting are the little details thrown into the episode about the movie. This version of Loki didn't live those events out, but manages to reference them all the same.

He notes that he would push Hulk off the Rainbow Bridge if he was there at the apocalypse, for example. Hulk did actually fall off the bridge during the events of the movie. Loki also references a saying about wolves early in the episode. Hela has an Asgardian wolf by her side in the movie as well.

Even the name Thor gives to the team of himself, Loki, Valkyrie, and Hulk is recognized as an official codename in the file: The Revengers.

The workers at the TVA certainly seem to have an affinity for the 1990s. In last week's episode, Mobius drank Josta, an energy drink that was only manufactured in the '90s. He drinks another in this episode, but he's not the only one with a discontinued drink.

During their lunch session, Loki takes Boku juice from Casey to provide Mobius with a demonstration. Boku was active as a brand in the United States from 1990 to the early 2000s, but is no longer manufactured.

Marvel fans will certainly recognize the "Roxx-" prefix on a company. Roxxon made its debut in Iron Man for the MCU, but it's a longtime rival of Stark Industries in the comics. Iron Man isn't the only place the company gets a mention either.

It played a large role in Agent Carter as Peggy investigated high-ranking members of the company in connection with a secret society and mysterious deaths. Roxxon also played a role in the short-lived Cloak And Dagger series. The company was responsible for the oil rig explosion that gave the titular characters their superpowers. Though gas stations bearing the company's name have also popped up in properties like Agents Of SHIELD, this is the first time Roxxcart, an approximation of big box stores like Walmart, has appeared in the MCU.

When the female Loki in the episode sets off the TVA's charges, she creates branches all over the sacred timeline. This looks to essentially be the "multiverse of madness" coming in the next Doctor Strange movie. Fans might want to pause as the TVA employees look at just when and wear the timeline branches occur, however, because they're pretty interesting.

In terms of real-world events, 1492 Portugal is noted as a branched timeline. That's when Christopher Columbus set sail for a trade route to India that landed him in the Americas. 1947 New York also saw a huge smallpox outbreak.

Several comic book locations that are already present in the MCU also see branched timelines from events taking place there. The locations that scroll across the TVA's screens include Vormir (the location of the Soul Stone), Hala (the Kree homeworld), Ego (the living planet that is Peter Quill's father), Asgard, Xandar (home of the Nova Corps), and Sakaar (where the bulk of Thor: Ragnarok takes place).

The Loki variant in the episode is able to get into the heads of others with a simple touch. The way this power is showcased is actually a variation of a power the audience has already seen in the MCU.

When Loki used his staff to control people in The Avengers, he used the same tactics. The eyes of those affected glowed blue. Wanda Maximoff showed people their fears in Avengers: Age Of Ultron with a touch or a wave of her hand to get in their heads as well. Those affected had glowing red eyes. Here, when the Loki variant moves control from person to person, their eyes glow green, Loki's signature color.

The Loki variant revealed as a female version of the character is likely inspired by a few comic book events. With Loki being gender fluid, there is a female version of the character on more than one occasion. This character, however, might not actually be a female Loki, despite the TVA believing she is, thanks to a few hints in the episode.

For one thing, Loki is surprised to be "treated like this" by himself during their confrontation. For another, she doesn't want to be called Loki, even seems disgusted by the idea. The final point of evidence is that some of the non-English dub credits don't list the character as Loki or female Loki. Instead, she's credited as Sylvie.

Sylvie is a comic book character who takes up the mantle of Enchantress. (Loki even notes that she uses enchantments in the episode.) In the comics, she's a teenager from Earth who Loki actually gives powers to. Whether or not she's a variation of this character remains to be seen.

Fans can continue to hunt for Easter eggs in upcoming episodes, available to stream on Disney Plus on Wednesdays.
