IRONHEART's Season Finale Includes A Blink-And-You'll-Miss-It Glimpse At [SPOILER]'s Comic-Accurate Form

In the Ironheart finale, we're finally introduced to a character fans have been waiting to see in the MCU since speculation about his debut first ran rampant in 2021. Here's a first look at his true face!

In the season finale of Ironheart, it's revealed that Parker Robbins acquired "The Hood" from Mephisto, the MCU's devil. Marvel Studios has touched on the supernatural before, but this series might be what ushers in a new era of horror-themed storytelling in the franchise's next phase.

As for Riri Williams, she also makes a deal with the devil (you can learn more in our recap), but did you catch that blink-and-you'd-miss-it shot of Mephisto's true form? 

Sacha Baron Cohen plays the villain as a "human," but there's a brief reflection of his comic-accurate, demonic face in a spoon. He has red skin, white eyes, and what appear to be some pretty sharp teeth. Based on this tease, it's a real shame we didn't get to see Mephisto in all his glory.

Still, this is an effective glimpse at what could be waiting for us down the line, and we'd bet on a future MCU project like the rumoured Midnight Sons and Ghost Rider projects fully revealing what lies beneath that human visage. 

Cohen does a terrific job as Mephisto and was first rumoured to be playing the character when Ironheart was in production. That means it's been at least three years since he shot these scenes, and it now remains to be seen when and where he'll return.

Hopefully, this won't be another Multiverse Saga introduction that seemingly leads nowhere (like Starfox and Hercules...oh, and Clea and, heck, even Moon Knight and Blade).

You can take a closer look at Ironheart's take on Mephisto below, along with the moment he reveals his name. We're guessing that's meant to be his real voice...

Set after the events of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Marvel Television’s Ironheart pits technology against magic when Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne) - a young, genius inventor determined to make her mark on the world - returns to her hometown of Chicago.

Her unique take on building iron suits is brilliant, but in pursuit of her ambitions, she finds herself wrapped up with the mysterious yet charming Parker Robbins aka "The Hood" (Anthony Ramos).

The series also stars Lyric Ross, Alden Ehrenreich, Regan Aliyah, Manny Montana, Matthew Elam and Anji White. Chinaka Hodge is head writer and executive producer; episodes are directed by Sam Bailey and Angela Barnes.

"Ironheart soars when Dominique Thorne, Anthony Ramos, Alden Ehrenreich, and Lyric Ross are on screen," we wrote in our 3* review, "but a by-the-numbers story means the series falls short of reaching the same heights as Iron Man. Still, the finale is an undeniable must-see."

All episodes of Ironheart are now streaming on Disney+.

So half a second of this show was worth watching.

@MarvelousMarty - If the only thing you're looking for out of a show is a comic-accurate depiction of Mephisto, then yeah, there's not much for you here, or in any other TV show.

Show was decent enough. If it’s so bad not sure why the basement dwellers keep investing time into something that they think is ass

@MisterBones - I've gotten into arguments with people criticizing the show who then say "but I haven't seen it."

@HOTSHOT - crazy. They’re mental.

@MisterBones - Hate is the new love. Refusing to watch a show and then explaining what you hate about it is the new watching a show and then explaining what you love about it. Mob psychology mixing with The Greater Internet [frick]wad Theory with predictable results.

@Clintthahamster - I like to think those people get no ass, no money, no hugs, no joy, and no weed

Just joyless fukks who are mediocre or less, that somehow get a rise out of hating everything.

@HOTSHOT - If you go to the threads from last night, there's a bunch of people saying the show was ass, and based on the time, there was no way they were able to watch the episodes.

@Vigor - lol what a sad existence of fleeting pleasures that only a teenager would aspire to. Go to church, you'll find yourself feeling much better after you leave

@TowelSeatbelt - I'd absolutely disagree. I think we all need love, positivity, and relatively harmless means to relieve stress

These hateful few are hateful because they have no love
And yes perhaps they need church too. Community and religion go a long way towards feeling accepted

Show was a solid 6, maybe a 7.

Episode 3 is still the season's best one, but 6 felt nowhere near as bad as it was previously being presented as. Zeke and Zelma felt like the best of the bunch.

"Weakest finale" my ass. Moon Knight still has the bigest drop on that end.

We need more Mephisto. Cohen nailed it!
