for Mephisto in Midnight Suns II: The Scarlet Prophecy
Suggested by underworld_stories
The Midnight Suns—Blade, Doctor Strange, and Ghost Rider—are joined by new allies Man-Thing and Moon Knight as a dark prophecy begins to unfold. Mephisto has risen again, and this time, he’s hunting Wanda Maximoff. Not to kill her—but to claim her mind. Joined by his son Blackheart and Agatha Harkness, Mephisto seeks to stop the birth of Wanda’s prophesied son, the one destined to destroy him. With two sides chasing her, Wanda begins to fracture, spiraling into chaos. Subconsciously, she recreates the warped reality of House of M, trapping herself in a false world of peace. As her mind deteriorates, the Midnight Suns battle time, magic, and madness to reach her first. In the film’s climax, Ghost Rider and Blackheart clash in a hellfire duel, while Strange pleads with Agatha to stop. She refuses. As Agatha moves to kill Strange, Wanda awakens—her reality shattering. A brutal fight erupts between Agatha and the Scarlet Witch. Knowing what she must do, Wanda traps herself and Agatha inside the collapsing illusion and sends it to Limbo. There, she uses her chaos magic to manifest a child—not yet real, but alive in essence. Wanda names the boy Billy. In Limbo, they live in a quiet farmhouse, with Agatha bound to serve as maid. In the real world, Blackheart is defeated. Strange warns him: tell Mephisto—if he returns, they’ll be ready. In the post credits scene the remnants of Wanda’s false world collapse… but a mysterious figure steps through the cracks—entering the main universe.
