Loki's Chitauri Scepter from _The Avengers_ (2012)
------------------------------------------------------------------
This a replica of the short staff Loki used to mind control Hawkeye and several others, and escape from the S.H.I.E.L.D. compound. This item is approximately 96 cm long (36 in).

__Notice:__ This device will not grant you the ability to fire energy blasts or take over the minds of your enemies. Such upgrades are welcome as derivatives.
