I don't think it was ever mentioned in the original what type Loki was. In fact, Loki is actually more commonly associated with fire. In some variants of the mythology, he used to own Surt's Laevateinn, a ridiculously badass flaming sword. Hmmm, one possibility is that they are working off the Marvel character to some extent. Sky has a halberd. While it is the more traditional version of the weapon, the word also refers to Viking pole weapons that bear a striking resemblance to Loki's staff in The Avengers.
