Introduction
In the comics, Blackheart is son of the demon Lord Mephisto. He's clashed with such heroes as Daredevil, Ghost Rider, and Spider-Man.
In the game, Blackheart is a character with tools best suited to zoning. His HP and HK attacks cover a lot of screen space and his Inferno move covers the height of the screen.
