Mephisto vs. The Silver Surfer

With fan speculation that Sigourney Weaver may be playing Mephisto in the upcoming show The Defenders, I thought it would be neat to revisit one of his first encounters with them, all the way back in Defenders #100...





You've got to love that last image of him.
Mephisto: Lord of deceit, father of all lies, flails around like an angry cat when mildly inconvenienced.

I'd rather have Mephisto elsewhere

Hmm, if it was the traditional Defenders I'd agree. As he's one of the few beings who could prove a challenge to a group including Dr Strange, Hulk, Namor, Silver Surfer etc.
But the Street level Netflix version, would be somewhat out of their league. I'd rather Mephisto was kept for maybe a Dr Strange or Avengers movie. (It's too late I suppose for the character to pop up in Infinity War. But that would have been a nice tip of the hat to the original Infinity Gauntlet Storyline. I suspect Loki will play the equivalent wild card in the movies.)
