Blackheart

Blackheart is the demonic son of Mephisto, born from the evil that saturated a patch of ground in Christ's Crown, New York, where one hundred murders had been committed. A powerful demon in his own right, he serves as one of Marvel's most formidable hellish threats.

Born in the pages of The Punisher #60 in 1992, Blackheart is a Marvel creation from the Copper/Modern Age with a dark, infernal energy that has kept them circling the Marvel Universe for over three decades. Across 31 years of appearances, this character has shared the page with heavy-hitters like Spider-Man, Iron Man, Mephisto, and both Ms. Marvel and Miles Morales, suggesting a figure who gravitates toward the biggest moments and most consequential corners of the Marvel cosmos. Crafted by Mike Baron, Marcus McLaurin, and Val Mayerik, Blackheart turns up in a fascinatingly eclectic range of titles — from Champions to Captain Britain and MI13 Annual — hinting at a menacing versatility that refuses to be confined to one corner of the universe. If you love Marvel villains with genuine staying power and a knack for showing up wherever the stakes are highest, Blackheart is absolutely worth tracking down.
