MCU: 10 Things You Didn’t Know About Mephisto
7. Took Ownership Of Dr Doom's Mother's Soul
The title says it all really.
Dr Doom has always been rather sensitive about his dearly departed mother. The whole reason he wears his fancy metal mask is to disguise the horrific scarring he suffered from a botched experiment he conducted to contact her beyond the grave.
Needless to say, the Latverian despot's discovery that she was residing in Mephisto's Hell dimension did not go down very well. Initially killed thanks to a typically dodgy pact with the claret menace, Doom's mother remained in the underworld until he teamed up with Dr Strange to put a stop to the madness.
In a testament to just how horrible Mephisto really is, iconic leading Marvel villain Dr Victor Von Doom seems like a heroic nobleman when the two clash. That is until Doom agrees to hand over Strange's soul in exchange for his mum's. The Sorcerer Supreme's odd, distrusting adventure with the Fantastic Four's archnemesis is one of the wildest Mephisto tales out there.
It's a great showcase of just how evil and menacing Mephisto can get whilst also offering interesting character arcs for Marvel's favourite doctors.
