The way I see this thread, people are either lowballing Prime or vastly overrating him.
Mephisto's power isn't so much "magic" in his own realm as it is high end reality manipulation. Prime might be able to tank a lot of Mephisto direct attacks, but Mephisto can do essentially any and everything in his own realm. Unless Prime busts out the Falcon/Retcon Punch, he can't win.

Mordu fired one half assed blast at him thats all.
One attack. There's no reason to believe it was anything but a genuine attempt to cause damage/death though.
But Superboy Prime was protected by something more powerful than plot armor: Pet character armor. Not an exploding Guardian or a guy known for soloing the entire Legion of Super Heroes can do him harm.
I liked Superboy Prime a lot more once he left the mainstream DCU.

Ridiculous. Prime has no magic immunity whatsoever. I'll admit, he has some mild resistance to it, but not complete immunity. Shrugging off some of Black Adam's punches hardly makes someone immune to magic. Mephisto would kill him.
Mild? He laughed off an attack from MORDRU. Who would OWN Mephisto.

What does his durability have to do with it? Silver Age Superman could be hurt by magic, and Prime's physical abilities most closely resembles SA Superman's. He's probably the only Kryptonian who exhibits a great resistance to any magical effects.
Meph for Spite..

Yes, in his realm. Meph's realm would be fuel for Mordru. Mordru's absorbing abilities are pretty much limitless.
Galactus himself haven't been able to pwn Mephisto in his realm without having to begin to absorb it.
What kind of chance do you think Sups have there?
Unless you want to argue that Superboy Prime is mightier that Galactus?

A lot when it relates to physical damage.. Modern age Superman is also resilient against it but then again that's irrelevant, so is SA Superman - not emo boy..Meph for Spite..
Anyway, SBP is resistant to any type of magic thrown at him. But he's not punching out Mephisto in his own dimension. Mephisto can just wait until his opponent burns out his solar-related powers.

Meph. does not have to wait, he could instantly alter his realm into a red sol for instant depowerment.
Anyhow we agree Meph for the win... ✅
