Its usually too controversial for mainstream comic book publishers to print stories featuring the actual biblical Devil, so Marvel and DC Comics have inventedstand-ins for Satan - usually in the form of Mephisto and Neron, respectively. And while some superheroes, like John Constantine and Ghost Rider, deal with these demons more oftenthan the rest, almost every caped crusader has found a reason to strike a devilish pact at one time or another.
In fact, some of the comic book mediums most memorable storylines havecentered around the selling of souls and other such deals with the devil. In most instances, the hero in question is able to weasel out of the bargain through some sort of plot contrivance, but thats not always the case. Occasionally, the consequences of such negotiations last for decades.
