History

Demons are extra-dimensional beings that exist in various realms of Hell. There are numbers of demons, many of whom have come into conflict with gods and angels over the millennia or are, in fact, gods and angels. As mystical beings, demons possess varying degrees of power. They feed upon the souls of evil or sinful people. They are skilled in black magic, all with a need to cause suffering in the mortal world.

Alternate Realities

Earth-6799

Four demons found a way to cross over into Earth-6799 in order to cause trouble. At some point, the Green Goblin became friends with these demons. They came to aid him during his battle with Spider-Man, only for Spider-Man to defeat the Goblin effortlessly, after which the four demons decided that the Goblin was not fit to become one of them.

Classifications

The demons are often classified in three classes: Class One (the Elder Gods of Earth), Class Two (the Hell-Lords and their minions), and Class Three (extradimensional beings).

Variable, depending on the specific type of demon. Some demons may have particular weaknesses specific only to them.

Ankhs: Some demons can be trapped within a room or building by etching the symbol of the ankh outside of the door.

Cold: Surtur the Fire Demon is vulnerable to intense cold.

Eldritch Magic: The Elder God-turned-demon Chthon and those augmented by his power are vulnerable to eldritch magic, including that of the Darkhold.

Fire: In shadow form, the demon known as the Bogeyman was vulnerable to fire.

Goodness: As a being of hatred, the demon Null the Living Darkness is weakened by goodness and can be overwhelmed if exposed to a massive amount of goodness.

Holy Water: Some demons can be harmed by holy water or weapons coated in holy water. The half-lilin Blackout, although resistant to normal bullets, could be harmed by bullets dipped in holy water, which were able to penetrate his skin.

Iron: The demon Adversary is vulnerable to iron and iron alloys, including steel, Adamantium, and Vibranium.

Mark of Zhou'Syn: The demon Spite cannot directly harm anyone with the Mark of Zhou'Syn.

Mysterium: Mysterium, a metal with powerful antimagical properties, can instantaneously banish demons such as Dormammu upon contact.

Negativity: While possessing Iprah, the demon Deuteronomy showed a weakness towards negativity in people and psychological arguments.

Ultraviolet Radiation: The half-lilin Blackout is extremely sensitive to light, unlike other lilin. Exposure to direct sunlight caused his skin to burn rapidly.

Genders: According to legends, the demon Lilith's powers are less effective against women.
