Powers and Abilities (Blackheart)
Blackheart is a powerful demon created by Mephisto, possibly from the essence of Darkforce. He possesses vast inherent supernatural
powers, including superhuman strength, speed, and endurance which are
magical in nature. He also has telekinetic and telepathic powers, and
can levitate, teleport inter-dimensionally, change his size and physical
form, enter and leave different planes of existence and dimensions at
will, heal himself at the sub-molecular level, and has the ability to
generate various forms of energies for destructive purposes such as
powerful concussive blasts of black energy.
He also possesses very high
intelligence. Blackheart has demonstrated the ability to call forth
armies from the pits of hell. He has also shown his telekinetic powers
by ripping an entire planet apart by the force of will. He can teleport himself and others to the Darkforce Dimension where he is at his strongest. He has no soul.
In Other Media (Film/Movie)
In the 2007 film Ghost Rider, Blackheart is portrayed by Wes Bentley as the main antagonist, alongside his father Mephisto.
Unlike his comic book-counterpart, in which he is a large black-skinned
demon with quills on his head, a tail and red eyes, in the film
Blackheart assumes his human form, with pale white skin and black hair,
though at many points in the film, he briefly shows his demonic facial
features (having black eyes and large fangs). Despite having many
presumed supernatural powers, he mainly uses his hands to kill people
with a 'lethal touch', its effects having the characteristics of sulfur
poisoning, (hellfire). He also reveals the ability to sense people by
'smelling' their fear. Though he has all of his father's powers,
Blackheart is unaffected by anything holy, as he entered both a church
and later sacred funeral ground, allegedly due to him having been 'born'
in Hell and hence never having fallen from Heaven in the first place.
He is immune to the Ghost Rider's Penance Stare, as he has "no soul to burn". At the end of the film, when he becomes Legion,
his skin turns dark bluish with red eyes and his powers are greatly
enhanced, becoming nearly invincible with the ability to regenerate from
even being blown to pieces. Blackheart first appears in the film,
searching for the Three Fallen Angels a.k.a. "The Elementals" (a.k.a.,
"The Hidden"), Abigor (Wind Demon), Wallow (Water Demon) and Gressil
(Earth Demon), in a bar, where he kills all the humans. He aligns The
Hidden with him on a quest to obtain the contract of San Venganza (that
allows the user access to the power of a thousand evil souls). But when
Mephisto finds out about his son's search for the contract, he forces
Johnny Blaze to serve his purpose as his Ghost Rider to track
down and kill Blackheart and his minions. The Rider overcome each of the
Hidden by attacking the element they each hide in with his 'fire
element'. First he kills Grissel (by baking him) at an empty train
station, and then kills Abigor (by using his chain to create a fiery
tornado which sucks Abigor inside, superheats the air and disperses him)
on top of a building. However, when Blackheart killed Johnny's
manager/friend Mack and kidnapped Roxanne Simpson,
Johnny was forced to travel to San Venganza to give him the contract.
By the time he arrived, the sun rose within minutes of the ensuing
struggle, Blaze having been ambushed by Wallow outside the town (whom he
killed under water by boiling the lake).
Once gaining the contract,
Blackheart calls for all one thousand cursed souls to enter his body,
taking on the name of Legion,
proving powerful enough to pull himself back together even after being
shot apart by a Hellfire-enhanced shotgun. However, Blaze took advantage
of this, as Blackheart/Legion was now vulnerable to the Penance Stare a
thousandfold due to the souls he had absorbed. Mephisto took
Blackheart's lifeless, soulless body presumably back to Hell.
