Didn't Silver Surfer beat Mephisto in his realm because it took Meph time to dois spells, giving Surfer openings? If that's still the case, don't see why a team this large and powerful can't keep him busy while Doctor Strange prepares a spell. Unless that counts under "no prep?"

Silver Surfer never beaten mephisto as Mephisto goal was to corrupt SS Nobel soul. Infact I remember a time when SS needed Galactus to save him, and even then Galactus was weakening against Mephisto before SS told Galactus to eat the realm.

Mephisto has one shot a high herald (SS) and he beat the entire lineup of Defenders and imprisoned them till Hellstrom's father jumped in to free them. All of this while he was outside his realm.

He almost always doesnt fight to kill his opponents; doing so would ruin his chances of ever gaining ones soul (as per Doctor Strange) and the souls of powerful heroes villian seem to be quite valuable to these other dimensional demons/devil-like beings...
So with that said, fights against Mephisto are more about him trying to break your will and corrupt you oppossed to simply beating you down...
As zopzop correctly pointed out, he could physically beat this team up without effort whenever he wants...
Mephisto is the type that would rather "lose" to an opponent and maintain a chance of getting his/her soul in the future rather than kill an opponent and forfeit the opportunity to claim that soul forever...
In conclusion, if its his goal to just beat them down or kill them, Mephisto 10/10, if hes trying to break and corrupt them, then he fails to get Thor and Strange 10/10...
The others might not be so fortunate...
Iron Man has vices and is weak to women, Hulk (unless its a smart Hulk) is weak to Betty...
Not sure about Black Bolt; I honestly havent read up on him too much...

Nope. Strange has been powerless against Mephisto almost every single time he has entered Hades to confront him. And one of those instances was when he partnered up with Doom to retrieve the latter's mother's soul.
Mephisto wins irrespective of whether it's inside or outside his realm.
Not exactly the right context. If your referring the 100 issue of defenders. Mephisto and Thog, Satannish etc were all referred to as manifestations of Satan.
The stroy held more true to what lord murder said
Satan and his other manifestations were trying to win the souls of the heroes while Hell was being made on earth. Mephisto tempting Clea, Valyrie and Surfer with his own ideas of their personal heaven for their soul while other manifestations worked on others. The end result was of course making Strange and the rest of the defenders break their solemn vow to save Hellstrom from sacrificing himself to prevent hell on earth. Said breach making their souls that much more attainable
Granted this is from a Hellstrom fanboy who likely saw it more from his viewpoint
