Who is Mephisto? Learn About New MCU Villain and Where He Could Appear Next After Ironheart
All about Mephisto’s powers in the MCU and find out which upcoming Marvel projects could feature the demonic villain after Ironheart.
Mephisto has finally entered the MCU in the final episode of Ironheart, leaving many fans wondering how powerful he is and where he could appear next. The demonic villain is known for striking deals that often come at a heavy price, and his first appearance hints at a larger role in the MCU’s future.
A devil’s deal in Ironheart
In Ironheart, Mephisto is shown giving the Hood his powers through an enchanted cloak. This cloak lets the Hood turn invisible and bend bullets. Mephisto appears in a flashback, offering Parker Robbins a way out of danger by creating a door to a pizzeria. There, he freezes everyone with just a gaze and hints he could do the same to all of Chicago, as per ScreenRant.
Mephisto’s powers are clear when he removes Riri Williams from her suit with a wave and reads her mind. The season ends with Natalie’s resurrection, thanks to Mephisto. This suggests that Mephisto’s powers include reality-bending and control over life and death, making him one of the MCU’s strongest characters so far.
More powerful than Thanos?
Thanos was the main threat in the Infinity Saga, using the Infinity Gauntlet to wipe out half the universe. Without the stones, Thanos was still strong enough to beat Hulk and take on the Avengers. But Mephisto’s powers don’t rely on any external objects like the Infinity Stones. He manipulates reality and souls by nature, putting him above Thanos in some ways.
Here’s where Mephisto could appear next
With Ironheart wrapped up, many fans are asking: Where could Mephisto show up again? Several upcoming MCU projects could feature the demonic villain.
First, an Ironheart Season 2 could explore Riri Williams’ deal with Mephisto, but since the show was a limited series, this is uncertain. Riri’s story may continue in the rumored Young Avengers series, and Mephisto could appear there too.
Another strong option is Doctor Strange 3. The sorcerer faced Dormammu before, so Mephisto would fit right in as another supernatural villain. A Midnight Sons movie is also rumored. This team could include Ghost Rider, Blade, Morbius, and Werewolf by Night, characters naturally connected to Mephisto as per ScreenRant.
Finally, a Ghost Rider project has long been rumored. Since Ghost Rider’s origin story involves Mephisto, he would likely return if that film moves forward.
