Mephisto’s path to UCM
This fictional demon was created by Stan Lee y John Buscema and first appeared in the comic’Silver Surfer‘ in 1968. Although he is often depicted as the archetype of the Christian devil, the character was actually inspired by Mephistopheles, a demon from German folklore. The character became famous for his role in Marvel Comics’ infamous ‘One More Day’ storyline.
Since the Disney+ series premiered ‘WandaVision’fans have endlessly speculated when this monster could appear in a Marvel Studios production, and the controversy intensified even more after Phase 4 of the MCU ended without receiving the character’s presence until now.
If the rumors are true and Sacha becomes this infamous creature, he will be responsible for giving life to one of the most complex characters in the history of Marvel Comics.
