	It takes a truly smooth, self-confident operator to play off the bumbling, nervous virgin so well. (Reply to this)

I....

I....

I'm utterly shocked by this. I was wondering how they could make this work and how it could be "bright". That is MEPHISTO there, among the worst of the worst. Yet this personification was charming in a baffoon kind of way. Not the scheming uber-villain, but just another shmoe.

thanks for posting this. I will get it at my LCBS during lunch.

On a tangent:
Only way this can be retconned is that the guy in red is NOT Mephisto, but someone masquerading as him, and by having Amara go out on the date with the faux-Mephisto and not the real one, she breaks the rules of the agreement.

	I did wonder about the faux-Mephisto possibility, or it could be he's just playing a really, REALLY good long game. Though I am hoping that it really is Mephisto as he appears to be here. An anthropomorphic manifestation of all human evil who's also been lumbered with human emotions on top. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	I did wonder about the faux-Mephisto possibility, or it could be he's just playing a really, REALLY good long game. Sympathy for the Devil, man. He's doing exactly what's necessary to make himself seem like not such a bad guy. You can't seduce someone to the dark side if they think of you as a contemptous enemy to fight against at every turn.

	Probably. If he was truly the personification of evil, he would have called the city "Frisco." #localhumor (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	It has to be a long game. This directly contradicts his frequent appearances in Journey Into Mystery. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 2 comments) (Show 2 comments)

Yeah, I was thinking that was option #2.

Question: Mephisto plans to maneuver the New Mutants to his side as willing pawns in an upcoming gambit. Against who?

currently at play:
1. Loki and the Asgardians
2. X-Factor and their connection to Rahne's hybrid mutant/god son
3. Cyclop's Omega Level threat X-men team w/ Colossus/Juggernaut & Illyana/Magick

If it is against someone we've seen already, I can't see the play, so it's a long con against a future event.

	I'm going to assume this is just something Mephisto has to vent every few centuries. Nothing else makes sense unless... Mephisto has gone meta and is trolling us! I think I speak for all of us when I say: More please! (Reply to this)

	Looks like this will be the first Marvel trade I've bought in a while. X-folks, a devil who's either sympathetic or playing a long game, sly culture references? Solid. (Reply to this)

	I UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING NOW THE REASON MEPHISTO STOLE SPIDER-MAN'S MARRIAGE WAS BECAUSE HE NEEDED SOME ESSENCE OF 'TRUE LOVE' SO THAT HE WOULD BE ABLE TO STUDY ROMANCE AND HOW TO FEEL ROMANTIC FEELINGS YES IT IS ALL CLEAR NOW nope wait still doesn't make sense (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	Maybe Mephisto didn't destroy Peter's marriage, maybe he stole his love. For himself. So he could feel it. Mephisto loves Mary Jan- I mean, Magma. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)
