Why does Loki turn blue when he touches the Tesseract?

When Thor and friends first go into Jotunheim, being touched by a Jotun gave the Asgardians mild frostbite, but it turned the affected area of Loki’s skin blue, without hurting him.

How is Loki able to hold the Tesseract?

Loki decides he wants to become supreme ruler of earth. He cuts a deal with a big, bad purple alien named Thanos: Thanos will lend Loki an Infinity Stone called the Mind Stone (which Loki wields in his scepter) so that Loki can retrieve the Tesseract (and Space Stone inside it) for Thanos.

Why is Loki obsessed with the Tesseract?

In Infinity War, Wanda was able to destroy Vision’s Mind Stone because her powers were derived from it. So in my opinion, I think Loki took the Tesseract because he knew it wouldn’t be destroyed when Asgard exploded (and this would have left the stone floating around in space, just waiting for Thanos to find it.)

Why does Loki look sick in Avengers?

He looked sick because of the effects of the Mind Stone within the scepter. Marvel has confirmed that the Mind Stone was filling Loki with even more rage and blood lust. Everyone that was under its influence had a pasty sick look, and so did Loki. Loki has a sick look because he is being manipulated by the Mind Stone.
