When Agatha debuted, showrunner Jac Schaeffer admitted that the decision to include Mephisto’s reference was not made by them, but higher up. “It was a discussion with Agatha’s executive producer Mary Livanos, Marvel’s head of streaming Brad Winderbaum and Kevin Feige, but it is a mention that transcends me and this show.” And it seems that Ironheart could be part of a larger storyline. The first three episodes of Ironheart are like summoning a demon, as Anthony Ramos’ character Parker Robbins, also known as The Hood, appears as a street-level villain with supernatural abilities. However, the source and cost of these powers suggest a darker, more sinister influence, hinting at Mephisto’s involvement.
