Satana was desperate to make her Hell the “It” place to be. To that end, she wanted to have Doctor Strange as her marque star and she poisoned him but Strange got away through astral projection. Satana was forced to use her second choice: Jim Morrison.

Belasco’s most implacable enemies in modern times have been the X-Men. Belasco trapped Illyana Rasputin in Limbo, stealing a piece of her soul to make a Bloodstone and awakening her Darkchylde.

Unlike many Helllords, Lucifer cannot leave Hell under his own power. In recent times, he bound himself to the soul of Johnny Blaze and “rode” it back to Earth, dividing his spirit into 666 corpses. Realizing his plan, Ghost Rider destroyed his final host before Lucifer was able to access his infinite powers. The Rider was able to defeat Lucifer and send him back to Hell.
