10 Weird Marvel Villains You Won't Believe Exist
6. Master Pandemonium
Master Pandemonium serves as an important lesson that making deals with the devil probably isn't that smart (maybe take some notes this time Spider-Man).
Martin Preston was an actor who lost an arm in a car crash and made a deal with Mephisto to get it back. In a typically Faustian fashion, Mephisto granted the wish by replacing all of Martin's limbs with demonic grafts, turning his entire body into a home for demons. He also carved a hole in Martin's chest in the shape of a star to symbolise the pieces of his soul he had taken.
As Master Pandemonium, Martin set out with his monster sock-puppet arms to find the missing pieces of his soul. Things started pretty hilariously, with him attacking random heroes like Firebird and the Thing just in-case they had a piece. However, things soon took a dark turn.
A while before, Scarlet Witch had created two sons from seemingly nowhere for herself and the Vision. Master Pandemonium revealed that the boys souls were in-fact fragments of his own and, in a genuinely horrific scene, absorbed both children.
In a bit of karmic retribution though, it turned out Pandemonium had actually been collecting parts of Mephisto and, once reunited, the demon dragged him down to Hell for a visit.
