acualy, hes not the devil, hes close, but not quite, marvel acualy has like 6 guys who are "the devil" one being night crawlers father, dormammu included, so if mephisto, and there are some other ones to, i think dr doom knows him, ill call him tonight and ask
Oh I know about the whole 'Mephisto makes no such claim to be the Biblical devil' and all, but that's a disclaimer by Marvel because they know they'd be in pretty hot water by having Satan a comic book character. Believe it or not, there are plenty of people out there who aren't as accepting of the devil as I am, lol.
Eternity and Galactus are both creations of the same cosmic egg, therefore I consider them to be equal beings, despite Eternity's place as...eternity. Plus since Dormammu loses to Strange on a constant basis, I do not place him on the level of Mephisto.
Yeah, it's best to say away from religious figures. They tread on thin ice as it is with the mythical characters like the Asgardians and Olympians, considering they used to be religious figures *and still are to some* They can't have a biblical devil win *for whatever reason* so it's best to leave it alone.
Galactus AT full power maybe. Yet Galactus has been defeated by Earth heroes before, Eternity was not ever. Galactus' is important to the universes survival, but he's never at full power to compare Eternity.
Strange has also conjured Mephisto and locked him up in chains and covered his eyes JUST so that he could answer Strange and Dare Devil's questions. So I don't see you point. Black Panther also trapped him as well. Thor has given Mephisto some trouble, while Silver Surfer & Warlock have punked his ass IN & OUT of his realm.
Strange doesn't even give much of a rat's ass when it comes to Mephisto, neither did the Ancient One. As for Strange defeating Dormammu, there was always help from outside sources such as mystical talismans and other deities.
Well he's at full power when these bastard heroes leave him alone and let him have a meal once in awhile, lol. As I said in another thread, he's been 'defeated' because Mr. Fantastic just happens to come across ultimate weapons that can destroy Galactus and the like. It's quite convenient.
Strange fought Dormammu without the aid of magic and beat him once. I don't know much about Dormammu I'll admit, but he let's just say in a dark alleyway I'd rather face him than Mephisto.
id rather face him to, only because he has fire on his head witch would light up the ally, and i would know not to go down the dark ally with firey head guy in it,
hahahaha, that's good. Still, Mephisto is not exactly a guy who you can miss. He's surrounded by flames and always bellows 'who dares to summon the lord of the underworld?!' That's something that could tip you off, lol.
