MCU: 10 Things You Didn’t Know About Mephisto
6. Beneath The One Below All
Celestials fans will likely be well aware of The One Above All, a godly figure so absurdly powerful almost no writer has ever used him in a story.
What they may not be quite as aware of is his diabolical negative The One Below All. An omnipotent force of demonic energy and evil, this malevolent force is actually one with The One Above All. The two represent the different faces of an omnipotent force beyond mortal comprehension.
In another example of Marvel's strange, often nonsensical obsession with gamma radiation, The One Below All can only enter the Marvel Universe via 'The Green Door'. Essentially, whenever Bruce Banner's in a bad mood, all of life itself could be in even more danger than just The Hulk crushing an entire city. One too many big, earth-shaking punches and evil itself may come stumbling into the party.
According to Mephisto himself, The One Below All is so immeasurably powerful that even he would be helpless against him. This greatly undercuts his initial avatar of evil-like presentation in his earlier misadventures. No longer the most hellish of demonic beings in the Marvel Universe, Ghost Rider's least favourite menace is yet another case of there always being a bigger fish.
