hierachy of devils in power/ authority???

there are so many devil characters between marvel and DC!!! neron, satanus, mephisto, etc! so who are the most powerful? and who is the ruler or leader?

lucifer morningsar.....great evil beast.....which is the oppostie of the presence so should be considered as a devil like being....., and i guess mephisto...also JP is pretty strong.....

They don't really have a leader. On the devil scale, Mephisto has been punked in his own realm a few times, so he's probably a bit lower than some of the others. Cyttorak and Chthon would probably qualify for this list too, and I'd have Chthon higher than Cyt. and both of them above Mephisto.

i seem to remember them having appointed jobs. like i think i remember hearing mephisto as a gaurdian of something or another. or like mephisto is a ruler of one part of hell.

I'd put Mephisto close to, if not at the top if for no other reason than the fact that he's privy to cosmic congresses, something I haven't seen the others do.

At Dc/vertigo its Lucifer Mornisngstar and then Loki.

At Marvel theres four major rulers of "hell" by different planes and two of them are Mephisto and Hades. Third i think its Hela ( makes sense ) and the last...i dont recall.

I think it's currently Daimon Hellstrom. He took over after the demise of Satannish the Supreme.

Good call.

I wouldn't think there's only four. Hades is from the Greek pantheon, Hela from the Asgardian, what about the others like Azteks, Celtics, Egyptian... each would have their hell-ruler equivalent. And I think Hades and Hela oversee the dead and death-realm of Greeks and Asgard, respectively - I don't think it's "hell" per se.

This is correct. Hela and Hades mostly deal with the "unhonored" shades who didn't have the distinction of being great warriors or noble folk. However, they do have (at least from the myths) souls that are being punished for crimes against the gods (e.g., Tantalus and Sisyphus of Greek Legend)

As for a supreme ruler of hell, most of the demons are a lot weaker outside of their realms(Mephisto especially). It would be pretty hard for Mephisto to establish dominion over another demon (Satannish or Hellstrom) through pure force.

These guys would have to come up with a major plan (like Mephisto in his series; he tried to unleash the soul of THor into Hela's realm to weaken her and get a larger share of souls). This plan was so elaborate it took 4 books in a series to flesh it out.

From what I have heard, though, Lucifer of DC is (correct me if I am wrong) beyond the level of Galactus. If this is true, then he would be the definite candidate.

i believe morningstar is considered to be only slightly below the power level of someone like LT. what region of "hell" is spawn from? and what demon/devil gave him his powers?

Malebogia (hope i spelled it correctly) hooked Spawn up.

From what I see, there is not one "HELL." In Marvel, the demons rule hell-like dimensions, but they may or may not be connected. They are probably not, though.

read earth x

it shows mephisto as the most evil person in the MU 4 real

Spawn turned into the King o'Hell after he defeated Maleboglia (hope I spelled it right)

"From what I have heard, though, Lucifer of DC is (correct me if I am wrong) beyond the level of Galactus. If this is true, then he would be the definite candidate"

Yeah Lucifer at Dc is second only after "God" and third is Michael the archangel.

At least its what i got from some vertigo reading.

Mephisto and Satannish were portrayed as equals when they fought in the "Faust Gambit" (Doctor Strange comics back in the day).

woah what issue number was this??

But Lucifer's not a demon in DC, so he doesn't count.

can anyone name someof the sections of hell and its ruler and might someone also tell me some of the powers of these devil/demon people?
