Mephisto Vs. X-Factor #2 (1987, Marvel Comics)
Mephisto Vs. X-Factor #2 (May 1987), written by Al Milgrom with pencils by John Buscema, inks by Bob Wiacek, and cover art by Ron Frenz and Joe Sinnott, is the second issue of a four-issue limited series titled Mephisto Vs.. This Copper Age comic, priced at $0.75 and rated for all ages, continues the supernatural showdown between Marvel heroes and the demonic Mephisto. In this issue, titled “Fantastic Foe,” Mr. Fantastic (Reed Richards) enlists X-Factor—Cyclops, Jean Grey, Beast, Angel, and Iceman—to rescue his wife, Sue Storm (Invisible Woman), whose soul is trapped by Mephisto in his infernal realm. The team ventures into a hellish dimension, facing demonic threats and Mephisto’s manipulations, as Reed battles to save Sue. Al Milgrom’s script blends high-stakes action with emotional stakes, while John Buscema’s legendary pencils, paired with Wiacek’s inks, deliver vivid depictions of the infernal landscape and heroic struggle. The cover by Frenz and Sinnott showcases the intense confrontation.

Value & Trends
  • Current: Raw NM copies of Mephisto Vs. X-Factor #2 sell for $5–$15 on eBay/MyComicShop, with VF copies at $3–$8 and CGC 9.8 copies fetching $40–$80, based on recent sales for the Mephisto Vs. series. CGC 9.9 or 10.0 copies are rare, potentially reaching $100–$200. Newsstand editions may command a slight premium due to scarcity but are less significant for this miniseries. [No specific eBay sales for #2 CGC 9.8 were found, but comparable issues like Mephisto Vs. Fantastic Four #1 align with this range.]
  • Trends: Mephisto’s MCU speculation (Agatha All Along, 2024; Ironheart, 2025) and Fantastic Four: First Steps (July 2025) hype could drive 10–15% price hikes in 6–12 months, especially for issues featuring Mephisto and the Fantastic Four. NM copies may hit $15–$30 in 2–3 years if Mephisto or X-Factor gain cinematic focus (Avengers: Secret Wars, 2027). Comic-Con 2025 news or reprints could boost demand. The series’ niche status tempers speculative spikes compared to major keys.
  • Market: Copper Age limited series like Mephisto Vs., with Buscema’s art, key characters (Fantastic Four, X-Factor), and Mephisto’s villainy, are valued by collectors, particularly in high-grade or slabbed conditions.
Key Characters
  • Mr. Fantastic (Reed Richards): Leader desperate to save Sue.
  • Invisible Woman (Sue Storm): Soul trapped by Mephisto.
  • X-Factor: Cyclops, Jean Grey, Beast, Angel, Iceman.
  • Mephisto: Demonic manipulator and central villain.
