Baphomet, also called "Bamphomet", is a powerful demon servant of Marduk Kurios who will stop at nothing to achieve his master's goal, and a villain in the Marvel Comics universe.

History

He along with his master Marduk, planned on having Daimon Hellstrom investigate what he thought would be a satanic ritual. Once Daimon arrived he realized too late it was a trap set up by Marduk to have Baphomet kill him. Daimon attempted to flee with the thoughts they wouldn't follow him into the public. However they chased him regardless. As Daimon climbed the St. Louis arch he incinerated a few of the demons, which surprised Baphomet, who thought them immune to Hellstrom's power, as well. This caused Baphomet a moment of uncertainty, which allowed Hellstrom to get the drop on him, and blow out the arch beneath his feet. Baphomet fell to his death, or that of his physical form, which caused his spirit to be cast back to Hell.

Powers and Abilities

Like most if not all demons in Marvel Comics, Baphomet possessed superhuman strength and durability but it was never as strong on Earth as it is in Hell. Baphomet also possessed immununity to Hellfire and could shot fire from his hands.
