Satannish first appeared inDoctor Strange #174 and was created by writerRoy Thomas artist andGene Colan.
Satannish is a powerful extra-dimensional demon who is known for granting mortals mystical power in exchange for their souls. He has been referred to as a creation and agent ofDormammu, and the father ofDaimon Hellstrom.[1][2][3][4][5]
He has granted power to his cult, theSons of Satannish, and struck a pact with the human sorcerer Lord Nekron, first encountering Doctor Strange during this affair.[6] Satannish made a bargain with the human sorcerer Asmodeus, and then encountered theDefenders.[7] Satannish also bargained withBaron Mordo during the "Faust Gambit" incident. He battledMephisto in New York City and briefly fused with him as a result of Doctor Strange's spell, revealing that they were formed from the same demonic energy.[8] Satannish later hides in the shadow of Mephista, Mephisto's daughter, to enter Mephisto's domain. There, he battles Mephisto, Mephista, and Doctor Strange, and was killed when Strange mystically connects Mephisto's and Satannish's life forces.[9][10][11]
During theSecret Invasion storyline, Satannish is one of many dark powers imprisoned withinAvalon. He is freed, along with all the others, whenPete Wisdom releases Merlin.[12] After hearing the invadingSkrulls boast that they will subjugate all magical beings, Satannish and the others kill the Skrull forces invading Avalon.[13]
While inLimbo, the recently resurrectedIllyana Rasputin attacks various other demons looking for her soulsword and the original bloodstone amulet. This does not go unnoticed by Satannish, Mephisto,Blackheart,Dormammu, andHela. When Mephisto asks why they should concern themselves with a minor annoyance, Satannish reveals he is quite impressed by Illyana.[14]
InAvengers Undercover, Satannish appears as a member of theShadow Council'sMasters of Evil.[15] He is shown to have taken up residence inBagalia's Hell Town district.[16]
Satannish is a demonic being of pure mystical energy, an embodiment of evil. The guise he most often employs around human sorcerers is that of a green horned being with a second face in his stomach.[17] Satannish is more akin to a supernatural force of nature than a being; as such he possesses "virtually unlimited" mystic power which can be used for a variety of effects,[18][2][5][17] including inter-dimensional teleportation, manipulation of time, space, and matter, size transformations, casting bolts of mystic energy as destructive force, demonic possession, and physical strength and durability. The character's extent of power has been shown as equal to that of Mephisto.[8] Satannish's ability to manifest in the dimension of Earth is, in some unknown way, limited by mystic factors and he frequently makes use of pawns native to Earth for his purposes. He also proved to be powerful enough to easily kill all the invading Skrulls who attempted to take Avalon's magic, which no other magical being in Avalon was able to do.[13]
Satannish makes a cameo appearance inMorrigan Aensland's ending inMarvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds.[citation needed]
