Jeffrey Harris is a writer at Collider who specializes in animation, superhero movies, and sci-fi and believes in animation's imaginative power.

With any new Marvel Cinematic Universe project, there's always speculation about the debut of the classic Marvel Comics villain, Mephisto, who serves as the Marvel Universe's version of the devil. The character tempts and torments his victims in their most vulnerable moments, offering them their hearts' greatest desires, but it always comes with a horrific price. The character debuted in the pages of Silver Surfer #8 in 1968, created by Stan Lee and Sal Buscema.

Unfortunately, the film did not give Fonda the best material to work with. Fonda delivers a villainous, scene-chewing performance that comes off as rather goofy and schlocky. The film also eschews Mephisto's iconic look from the comics, opting for a more grounded approach. While Ghost Rider was a commercial success, it was the black sheep of Sony's then-Marvel film franchise.
