Mephisto
for Mephisto in Marvel Studios' Midnight Sons
Suggested by erentan
When the hell-lord Mephisto breaks an ancient seal to resurrect Lilith, the Mother of Demons, her monstrous brood, the Lilin, begin a supernatural siege that traditional heroes cannot withstand. Realizing the Avengers are outmatched against this occult terror, Doctor Stephen Strange turns to the forbidden "Tarot Deck of Destiny" to assemble the "Midnight Sons," a volatile alliance of the damned and the dark. Strange unites the reality-warping might of Wanda Maximoff (Scarlet Witch), the hellish heritage of Daimon Hellstrom, and the mystic arts of Doctor Voodoo to hold the magical barriers, while the dual spirits of vengeance, Johnny Blaze and Danny Ketch (Ghost Riders), scorch the earth with hellfire. Supported by the ancient knowledge of Agatha Harkness and the swamp-guardian Man-Thing, and armed by the tactical expertise of Whistler and Elsa Bloodstone, the team operates under the ominous guidance of the Tarot, where every card drawn dictates a sacrifice required to halt the apocalypse. On the visceral front lines, the battle turns into a carnage of monsters fighting monsters. Eddie Brock and Venom, representing the Tarot’s "Devil," emerge as the team's MVP; the Symbiote’s alien physiology renders him immune to Lilith’s corruption, allowing him to devour the demonic horde alongside the lethal precision of Frank Castle (The Punisher) and the ruthless blade of Eric Brooks (Blade). As Marc Spector (Moon Knight) and Layla El-Faouly (Scarlet Scarab) strike from the shadows and skies, Dane Whitman (Black Knight) wields the Ebony Blade alongside the feral rage of Jack Russell (Werewolf By Night) and the cunning of Hannibal King. In this bloody crusade, Venom acts as the unstoppable tank while the team unleashes their inner beasts, proving that to defeat the ultimate darkness of Mephisto and Lilith, the Marvel Universe needs its most terrifying nightmares.
