Who is Mephisto? Learn About New MCU Villain and Where He Could Appear Next After Ironheart
Mephisto has finally entered the MCU in the final episode of Ironheart, leaving many fans wondering how powerful he is and where he could appear next. The demonic villain is known for striking deals that often come at a heavy price, and his first appearance hints at a larger role in the MCU's future. A devil's deal in Ironheart In Ironheart, Mephisto is shown giving the Hood his powers through an enchanted cloak. This cloak lets the Hood turn invisible and bend bullets. Mephisto appears in a flashback, offering Parker Robbins a way out of danger by creating a door to a pizzeria. There, he freezes everyone with just a gaze and hints he could do the same to all of Chicago, as per ScreenRant. Mephisto's powers are clear when he removes Riri Williams from her suit with a wave and reads her mind. The season ends with Natalie's resurrection, thanks to Mephisto. This suggests that Mephisto's powers include reality-bending and control over life and death, making him one of the MCU's strongest characters so far. More powerful than Thanos? Thanos was the main threat in the Infinity Saga, using the Infinity Gauntlet to wipe out half the universe. Without the stones, Thanos was still strong enough to beat Hulk and take on the Avengers. But Mephisto's powers don't rely on any external objects like the Infinity Stones. He manipulates reality and souls by nature, putting him above Thanos in some ways. Here's where Mephisto could appear next With Ironheart wrapped up, many fans are asking: Where could Mephisto show up again? Several upcoming MCU projects could feature the demonic villain. First, an Ironheart Season 2 could explore Riri Williams' deal with Mephisto, but since the show was a limited series, this is uncertain. Riri's story may continue in the rumored Young Avengers series, and Mephisto could appear there too. Another strong option is Doctor Strange 3. The sorcerer faced Dormammu before, so Mephisto would fit right in as another supernatural villain. A Midnight Sons movie is also rumored. This team could include Ghost Rider, Blade, Morbius, and Werewolf by Night, characters naturally connected to Mephisto as per ScreenRant. Finally, a Ghost Rider project has long been rumored. Since Ghost Rider's origin story involves Mephisto, he would likely return if that film moves forward.

Bills' 'Biggest Offseason Priority' Not An Easy Fix with James Cook
Bills' 'Biggest Offseason Priority' Not An Easy Fix with James Cook originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Much like Thanos needing the Mind Stone to complete his Infinity Gauntlet in Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War, the Buffalo Bills' offseason is close to being for one thing. Advertisement Running back James Cook is still awaiting a new contract, and all indicators point to the Pro Bowler having to wait until next offseason to get the new deal he craves. Set to play on the final year of his rookie deal, Cook is the only Bills player not present for OTAs, which isn't a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but it could be a precursor for what could be coming down the pipeline when training camp begins. And for Kevin Patra, the Bills' biggest offseason priority is getting Cook a new deal. "Buffalo might prefer a committee, but Cook brings a tackle-breaking, elusive element to the table -- even if the coaching staff seems to forget about him for stretches," Patra writes. "Cook is the only Bill skipping voluntary OTAs. GM Brandon Beane has said he expects Cook to be there when it counts. That's easy to say before summer break. What comes of it in training camp will be revealing for a player who seeks long-term security after back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons." Buffalo Bills running back James Cook (4) against the Kansas City Chiefs during the AFC Championship game at GEHA Field at Arrowhead J. Rebilas-Imagn Images At the time of writing, the Bills, per Over The Cap, have the least amount of cap space in the NFL, with just $1.6 million, so for a Cook contract that is expected to be in the region of $15 million APY, some serious cap massaging would need to take place from general manager Brandon Beane. Advertisement Buffalo's offseason has seen the franchise address its pass rush situation, acquire Josh Allen another weapon in Joshua Palmer, and secure several key players to new deals. But until Cook gets his new contract, the Bills' offensive gauntlet won't be complete. Thanos completed his. Can the Bills complete theirs?
