Who is Satannish?

Satannish is a vastly powerful demon lord of the Marvel Universe, ruler of his own hellish dimension. He is said to have been created by — or spawned from — the power of Dormammu, making him one of the great mystical threats faced by Earth's sorcerers.

Few demons in the Marvel cosmos carry the kind of infernal gravitas that Satannish does — a creature of genuine supernatural menace who stepped out of the Bronze Age in 1974, conjured by the formidable creative team of Len Wein, Gil Kane, and Klaus Janson. Rooted in Marvel's mystical corner of the universe, Satannish has haunted the pages of Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme and beyond, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Dormammu, Mephisto, and Doctor Strange himself — a rogues' gallery and supporting cast that tells you everything about the rarefied, darkly cosmic tier this character occupies. Over fifty years of appearances, he's proven that some evils endure, returning again and again to trouble Marvel's greatest sorcerers and even the Hulk's world. If you're drawn to the shadowy, occult depths of the Marvel universe, Satannish is exactly the kind of ancient, persistent threat worth tracking down.
