Eternal Hellfire--A Black Heart shrine. powers  Powers and Abilities Powers Blackheart has the ability to take different forms and confuse the minds of other people, making their worst aspects dominant. When he is at "full" power (Blackheart's power is always rising due to the magical and cosmic nature of his power) his known powers and abilities are: Vast energy manipulation (seemingly unlimited but so far we have seen: Dark Energy: A blast of pure dark energy that can be transfered from a concussion blast, to a dark fire, to dark lighting. Ice Energy: He can blast a beam (or several) of super cold energy and freeze anything in it's way. Elemental manipulation: He can manipulate the four elements of Earth (fire, water, earth, air) to unknown levels. He has been known to turn water into ice and rock into magma.

He can rearrange the molocules of objects in order to change their form. On one ocassion he ripped apart an entire planet through a sheer force of will. His telekinetic powers seem to be unlimited in power) Telepathy ( he is able to read the minds of others and project his own thoughts into other's minds. He has several other abilities that include: Telepathic Illusion: ability to create realistic telepathic illusions and cause people to experience events which are not actually occurring Telepathic Cloak: Can mask his presence from being detected by others. His abilities can at times go undetected or be counteracted by other more powerful telepaths depending on their level of skill in using their own psi abilities. He can extend these defenses to others around him as well. Mind Blast: ability to place large amounts of information in another's mind. Mind Control: ability to control the minds of others upon mere concentration. This power can allow him to completely shut down several peoples' minds, making it appear as if time has stopped.

Super Speed (Blackheart can think, move, and react at a rate near the speed of light) Levitation (magical flight) (Blackheart can use his magic to fly and combine his superspeed with his flight essenssially allowing him to fly at speeds that are near the speed of light) Super Strength (He can lift an excess of 100 tons, but no limit has actually been set) Super Enhanced Senses (Blackheart has a amazing superhuman sense of sight, hearing, touch, and smell. He has no mouth, so he has no reason for a sense of taste) Regeneration (Blackheart has the ability to regenerate from virtually any form of damage. From a simple scratch to a missing limb, he can even reform himself after total partical vaporization(he can supress other being's powers and energy making then unusable to his opponent, seemingly unlimited) Reality Manipulation (his reality warping powers are comprable to Franklin Richards when his power  by combining all of his remaining envergy together and creating a cell, which he will then regenerate from.) Energy Suppression isn't suppressed) Control over the Darkforce Dimention (Blackheart can manipulate and use the power of the Darkforce Dimention to unlimited lengths. He is able to teleport himself and others into the dimention and when in the dimention he is literally omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent. Many believe that Blackheart makes the Darkforce Dimention his home dimention. ) High level of mental manipulation and control over other beings (seemingly unlimited) commands legions of demons and monsters Intangibility (He can make himself intangible at will, thus giving him phasing) teleportation (He can teleport himself and others through space and time itself; no limit to this power has been seen) Astral Projection (can create intangible copies of himself) Invisibility (he can make himself and others around him invisible by mentally bending the wavelengths of light around himself without creating any distortion effects. He can also use magic to do this in order to avoid any confrontation with those who can see through his normal invisibility, again such as the Invisible Woman.) Physical Copies (He can use his magic to make solid the intangible copies of himself, but they have no free will of their own and are at the total control of him) Shapeshifting (He can take any form he chooses. This power also includes extending body parts or growing larger or smaller at will and changing the phyiscal form of any part of him) Hyper Psionic energy (draws nearly infinite psionic energy from hyperspace and can control the four fundimental forces of the universe) High levels of Matter Manipulation (seemingly unlimited and he can manipulate matter to the subatomic level) Interdimensional Transportation (Can transport himself and others to any plane of existence he wishes, and can enter and leave any number of dimensions he wishes.) Abilities Highly intelligent and cunning can survive in the vacuum of space and can survive without food, water, air, or sleep. When Blackheart's power is at it's full potential he is stronger than even that of Mephisto (which is why he diminished it in the first place). Unlike Mephisto, Blackheart's power is a combination of Magic and Cosmic. His power is equal to that of the Sentry (Robert Reynolds) when at maximum efficiency. When at maximum power he possesses virtually infinite psionic power which he can draw endlessly from hyperspace, from which (in the Marvel Universe) the primordial energies creating the fundamental forces of the universe, strong force, electromagnetism, the weak force and gravity flow into our plane of reality. Controlling the four fundamental forces should theoretically allow him to restructure, create or destroy matter at will down to subatomic level, as well as creating electromagnetic fields and electrical currents, making matter radioactive, manipulating gravity, causing nuclear detonations, emit enormous energy blasts, use his psionic powers to increase his physical strength and generally accomplishing nearly anything he sets his mind to. Therefore, if he is left unchecked his power could grow to best that of even Thanos. Strength level Unknown. Weaknesses None known. Paraphernalia Equipment: None known. Transportation: Flight, Intangibility, Teleportation, Dimensional Portals Weapons: None known. Notes No special notes. Trivia Mephisto, have you ever stopped to wonder just what it is you are doing in Hell? Or as you call it, the Netherworld? This is the realm of the accursed! Why do you think you are here?" (Daredevil #282, Blackheart argues with his father about the nature of evil.) "You think this is Manipulative? HA! This is my power at it's absolute weakest!" (Blackheart manipulates an army of over ten million beings into doing his bidding and attacks Shuma Gorath after regaining half of his full power) Blackheart is also a playable character in several entries in the Marvel VS. Series of video games. In his first two appearances, he was largely a defensive character with powerful normal moves and damaging combos; in Marvel vs. Capcom 2, his ability to cancel normal moves with an airdash makes him ideal at runaway, due to his ability to summon demons of varying effects as a normal move. Blackheart also appeared as a boss in the Super Nintendo game, "Marvel Super Heroes - War of the Gems". Blackheart is one of the bosses in the game Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. Blackheart - Ghost Rider (film)Actor Wes Bentley plays Blackheart in the 2007 film Ghost Rider from Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures. He appears throughout most of the film in his human form, only briefly showing his true form in between. The final form he takes the end of the film is essentially a mixture of his human form and Blackheart's comic book form, calling himself Legion, since Blackheart redeems a contract worth 1,000 souls of a ghost town to aid him in his endeavours. This is a reference to the biblical Legion; a demon made up of 1,000 demons. He is defeated by Ghost Rider after he uses his Penance Stare to burn all the 1,000 souls in his body. Blackheart's father, Mephisto, then returns Blackheart's body to their realm. In this version, Blackheart's touch is deadly and he is extremely powerful, hinting more than once that he is more powerful than his father. As shown in the comics, Blackheart has a stronger ability to manipulate souls, . Blackheart is included in the 13th wave of "Marvel Legends" action figures, subtitled "Bring on the Bad Guys".
