Who is Mephista?

Origin Mephista is a powerful demon and the daughter of the powerful hell lord Mephisto. Although possessing immense power, she is relatively young and inexperienced. One of Mephista's first forays to Earth involved claiming the soul of the Earth sorcerer Baron Mordo. Sent by her father, Mephista would find that the hell lord Satannish also had claims to Baron Mordo's soul. She would have to breach the Earth's Sorcerer Supreme, Doctor Strange's sphere of containment to find and claim Mordo, who was trapped inside. Although she was able to dismiss Doctor Strange's attempts to stop her easily, she could not break into the containment sphere. Then she would find herself face to face with the powerful Satannish. The threat Satannish would present would be grave enough for Mephista to team up with Doctor Strange to stop him from acquiring the containment sphere.
