10 Times Constantine Outsmarted Everyone

It was inevitable, what with how many packs Constantine goes through per hour, let alone per day, that his body would eventually go, "yeah mate, we just-we can't do this anymore. Time to clock out." So Constantine gets diagnosed with lung cancer.

It was really only a matter of time after that before the forces of Hell finally got their hands on John, at the behest of the Third Of The Fallen, the fallen angel that unexpectedly won the power struggle meant to keep Hell in check.

John is now in Hell. He has nothing, having let them take him to save his friends. But now he's staring down an eternity in Hell. What does he do? Well, simple, he lays out the specifics of the deal he made that the Triumvirate overlooked: that he sold his soul to all three of them in parts, but not the whole.

Demons being notoriously unable to talk things out like adults, the triumvirate reignites their eternal rivalry and Hell is back in chaos. John is then kicked out and his cancer cured just so they can be rid of him for a bit longer until they get everything sorted out.

Bloody brilliant, you treacherous supernatural sleazeball.
