From times ancient people have wondered about many things.How the Earth was created. Why people must work.What powers control the universe.
But one question is sought by those who experaince suffering.

What is the nature of evil?

The two most known gods of evil are Loki and Set.

For those who haven't read Thor,or Norse mythology here's a little.Loki was the son of fire giants. They were killed and he was adopted by Odin,King of the gods,Ruler of Asgard.He was at first a trickster god,but his pranks grew more and more hurtful.His intance rivalry with his brother Thor has inspired many comic books.And he killed his brother Baldur with miseltoe.
Then there is the little thing with Ragnarok and his hatred towards Heimdall,but I'll get to the point.

How those he compare with Set?

boy that set make me so sick that I just wanna push him off a bridge

Well, X-Men has manga influence. This one artist introduced it to American readers in that comic. On the other hand, this other manga guy gave Polaris an ugly costume. Purple & Green do not go together.

I'm guessing that whole balance thing is why there has never been a Horus comic book. Like most fantasy, they center on battles of good vs. evil. In the Norse case, the gods vs. giants.

Really! It's always been the giants vs. gods. And sometimes the gods do win, but sometimes they lose something. Usually integrity.
And it will all accumulate into the final battle, Ragnorak which literally means "Dwillight of the gods."

It's fitting that the Norse people would want their gods to die the same way they did: fighting outside sources that seek to destroy them. But the major gods children are destined to survive and...I could go on forever.

Did you know Loki is the father of a monstrous brood?

Odin told him to have nothing to do with the Giantess Angrboda. But he took her for a lover, and they had three children. The Norns prodectied that the children would one day destroy the gods. So they were banished.
Jormungard- a giant serpent. He surronds Midgard. So big his tail touches his mouth. When he shakes, tsunamis and earthquakes happen.
Hela-Part woman, part corpse. She was banished to Nifleheim. There she became Queen of the Dead. Are you old or sick? If you die you get sent to her realm.
Frenier-Intelligant Wolf. The gods thought he would be no harm to them.But the Norns prodected that he would be the death of Odin. So they tricked him into being chained. Tyr lost his hand in the process.

Set rules.
I wouldn't have published a book about him if he didn't rule.
Anyone who says otherwise can bite me.
But we're all entitled to our own opinion, right?

I think poor Set gets a bad press. He just had a bit of a temper and was full of pride. After all Osiris was his younger brother and yet Osiris was made Pharaoh instead of him. That must have been really annoying. Then (according to some myths) Set's wife seduced Osiris, and that can't have helped.

In earlier myths which place Set in opposition to Horus, he isn't depicted as particularly nasty. Instead he represents Upper Egypt while Horus represents Lower Egypt. Some think that the followers of Horus won the battle to unify Egypt ans started to depict Set as a negative influence. He was also associated with the Hyksos invaders who seemed to like him for his warlike nature. But Ramessess II also appreciated his martial skills.

It is time to rehabilitate this missunderstood god and stop calling him evil.

I think the most evil entity in Egyptian mythology is Apep (Apophis) the serpent that tried to devour the sun every night. Set was one of the deities who protected Ra from this dangerous being, but it seems he fell out of favour with the sun god because he was so boastful and proud.
