I remember one time Mephisto was defeated in his own relm. It was done by Adam Warlock with the Soul Gem. Adam said he is most powerful in his realm because it is a part of his own soul. However Adam Soul Gem was able to grant him mastery over all souls, so he eventually defeated him at his most powerful.

It was written by Jim Starlin wasn't it?

[@Mr.89ms]

Wow the drawing of this is actually really clean..

[@austinmaldonado7229]

Thanks Rob this is one of the ones I was waiting for. I love your videos keep it up!

[@Metrosplash]

Actually, While Mephisto Gave Galactus A Mighty Battle in Hell, It’s important to note that Galactus eventually demanded Mephisto return his herald Nova, as he began devouring Hell. Needless to say, Mephisto folded.

[@MrFIRESEAL117]

So Mephisto did not fight Galactus to a standstill.

[@justinanderson2460]

To be fair, Mephisto was slowly winning their battle and Galactus was using up all his energy. Silver Surfer realised that of the battle went on, Galactus would eventually run out of steam so he sent a mental suggestion to Galactus, letting him know that he could actually consume Mephisto's Realm itself because all of the soulstuff/lifeforce that composes Mephisto's realm is essentially the same kind of energy Galactus gets from consuming planets (it's why he gets so much more sustenance from worlds with life on them). . Luckily, Galactus heeded his Herald and stopped fighting Mephisto. Mephy, being as arrogant as he was, assumed Galactus was giving up, only to have Galan turn around and start nomming all the souls in Mephisto's realm and eventually eating the realm itself. Considering Mephisto values his souls and his realm more than anything, he decided he'd rather just give Galactus his Heralds back than risk losing his whole realms worth of souls.

[@justinanderson2460]

@@MrFIRESEAL117+ He did, to the point Galan was going to run out of power. So Silver Surfer suggested Galactus eat the souls in Mephisto's realm for sustenance (a long with the soulstuff that Mephisto's realm is made of) and so Mephisto decided to willingly give up the souls of Galan's heralds rather than risk losing all of his most prized posessions - his souls.

[@patricksherman2567]

[@ishouldbestudying251]

Dear Rob, please make a video on the Marvel Character “Alpha”. He was supposed to be the first canon “beyond omega level” character, hence the name “Alpha” (he would’ve been the first Alpha level character).

The amount of times Rob says "we need to cover that" or "we're definitely covering that" is crazy. Because he never does.

[@jhvfgvsfgbfr]

i think mephisto when he fought galactus was actually overpowering him more and more enough that galactus stopped fighting by strength and started absorbing mephistos realm to beat him

[@Themightyfrogg]

I think Rob is benefiting from the dislikes being gone, this could have been so much better, but 7min to be like "he fought galactus, but i'll cover that in another video" is just trash.

No. More so think of it as, he’s the first basis for when you’re getting to the higher levels. He isn’t weak, he’s way stronger than most characters. But when you’re getting to the higher tiers, he’s like the first level.

[@kennyrobinson8208]

Sorry. A quick clarification Rob, it wasn't actually implied in that story that Mephisto was one of the first deviants ever created, in that comic it is instead sort of directly implied that he was simply there already when the first celestial died and he essentially infected it's blood with maggots and it is implied essentially that he in fact is the one who is responsible for the deviants existence if not even more super beings. Sorry Rob I know I hate being corrected 😂. At least I didn't say "WeLl AcTuAlLy rOb"

I always get sleepy after I had a big meal, so maybe that's how Mephisto got the better of Galactus.

As much as this is true, we need to have them do Doom justice when they bring him in first.

[@dannydesperado9211]

@@justinanderson2460 Absolutely! Can’t happen right away. Doom needs to be established as a formidable threat and we need to get a full sense of his origins. I’d say give Doom a solo movie or series, then have him battle Strange to assist him with freeing his mother’s soul from the pits of hell, and end it with them forming a sort of mutual respect for one another, which obviously will come to play down the line (*cough* secret wars *cough*).

[@justinanderson2460]

@@dannydesperado9211+ That's pretty well thought out. In not sure how people would take to a Dr Doom movie or series as their first point of contact for his character and whether or not they'd be better off having him as a big scale villain initially, then focus more on him afterwards. . I personally would LOVE a Doom centred series or movie but I'm bias because I'm not only a comics fan, but a bit of a Doom fanboy as well. He's one of my favourite villains period. Regardless of that though, I thi k that eventually they will get to Secret Wars and it would be really good if they'd already established Doom in pretty much the way you're describing by then. I'd watch it.

[@dannydesperado9211]

@@justinanderson2460 definitely not as an intro. Make no mistake he’s gotta be a villain first and foremost and after that we can get more insight on what makes him tick. The easy intro would be having him face the Fantastic Four, but the way I’d do it is maybe introduce him as a character in FF but not as the main bad, and them maybe have him as the main villain of Black Panther 3 where he tries to make a claim on Wakanda in his pursuit to take their tech and take ov-I mean save the world. And of course it would heavily involve the Fantastic Four.

[@justinanderson2460]

@@dannydesperado9211+ Yeah see, this would be a great way to bring him in as a mainline villain. With a less centred role in a Fantastic 4 movie (maybe just teasing him even), they could build on this later in the Black Panther movie, and then first introduce the idea of him actually having somewhat noble goals (despite his means) right near the end as a plot twist where we find out that Bast the Panther God actually gave Doom it's blessing to try and take over much like in the comics. . That way, moving forward, he could be focussed on more individually - allowing us to discover how he only wants to rule the world because he knows he'd actually do a great job. Then you could introduce the plot point about his mother's soul being stuck in hell (possible introduction for Mephisto assuming he isn't already lined up to have something to do with Wanda and her children) to push the "he's a guy who does bad things for ultimately good reasons" angle even further and set up for your aforementioned team up with Dr Strange. Damn... should we get the ideas in this discussion copyrighted and then send them in to Marvel?? I mean, it was mostly you but still.
