Powers and Abilities (Mephisto)
Mephisto is an extremely powerful immortal
demonic entity possessing magical powers and abilities gained by
manipulation of the forces of magic. Mephisto is capable of using his
power for a variety of uses, including superhuman strength, shape and
size shifting, projecting illusions, manipulating memories, altering time, and is highly resistant to injury.
The character has been shown to be energized by sources of evil in the human realm, such as the alien Dire Wraiths. Like other demons, Mephisto is symbiotically linked to, and
considerably more powerful within, his own realm, and the character is
able to transform the structure at will. Within it he has casually threatened a galaxy, and stalemated a nourished Galactus until the latter threatened to consume his realm. If Mephisto's physical form is destroyed, the character will regenerate and reform in his domain.
Mephisto is known for acquiring souls, but cannot subjugate the will
of another being without the victim's permission. This is usually some
form of pact.
