Key Facts

1st appearance of Blackheart, son of Mephisto

[September 2024 - with Mephisto’s name now dropped in Agatha episode 3, the possibility of Rio Vidal (Audrey Plaza) being Blackheart is more plausible although Mephisto also had a daughter in comics named Mephista but Vidal’s character has been associated with symbolism of a black heart]
