Mephisto has coiffure his sight on curb all world in the Multiverse . He see that to stop the heroes from constantly foiling his program he has to pluck the " Heroic Age " in its place of origin by killing the first group of defenders of the satellite , the Prehistoric Avengers , in every reality . To do that , he has engage the help ofDoom Supreme and his Multiversal Masters of Evil , but Mephisto has plans of his own . He has been assemble his own group , the Council of Reds , a gathering of all the alternating versions of Mephisto from throughout the Multiverse . It is yet unnamed what the endgame of the Prince of Lies is or how he will apply the direful violence he assembled , but a doubled - page spread out inAvengers#55 by Jason Aaron , Javier Garròn , and David Curiel in the end gift readers a look to the full Council of Reds . In the cognitive process , it is revealed that two DC scoundrel , Mister Mxyzptlk and Klarion the Witch Boy , could really be Mephisto in camouflage .
This hypothesis is not as far - fetched as it seems . DC has implied in the preceding thatMister Mxyzptlk is actually also Marvel ’s Impossible Man , a character with very standardised behavior and might who switches forms between worlds . While this is mostly used as a fourth - bulwark - breaking joke between the two company , they still agree that Mister Mxyzptlk exists in both worlds , so there is nothing stopping him from being a artifice by Mephisto . It ’s also interesting that Mister Mxyzptlk is obsess with Superman , one of the arrant heroes in the DC Universe , whileMephisto is fixated on collect Silver Surfer ’s soulbecause he is incredibly pure of heart . Klarion , on the other hand , is an supererogatory - dimensional sorcerer who is really skilled in the use of dark thaumaturgy and deception , both traits that he has in vulgar with Marvel ’s Mephisto .
It is possible , of course , that the gifted Javier Garròn was just tasked with puff as many version of Mephisto he could think of and he make up one’s mind to add some rummy reference for funny volume fans to spot . However , the fact that these two Mephistos depend exactly like two DC grapheme makes them stand out , even in that telling crowd . The two companies are not afraid of working together , as they have shown in the past withcrossover outcome such asJLA / Avengers , and there is a opportunity that this will happen again in the time to come . If this will be the eccentric , Marvel ’s Prince of Lies could be a great villain for the crossover , perhaps uncover in the physical process that twoDC Universevillains , Mister Mxyzptlk and Klarion , are actuallyMephistoin disguise .
