Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius. A renowned exorcist/demonologist who is knowledgeable in many myths and dead languages and has spent many nights studying occult arts to study ways to combat supernatural threats and challenge his father, Daimon's knowledge in satanic matters is such that even Doctor Strange respects it, and he was regarded by Yandroth to be a master of the occult on a level even superior to Strange. The Eye of Agamotto considered him a possible candidate for the role of Sorcerer Supreme.New Avengers Vol 1 Ch 55 Son of Satan is also very knowledgeable in non-satanic but still mystical matters.New Avengers Vol 2 Ch 5 Managed to track down his sister Satana despite her attempts to avoid this.Thunderbolts Vol 1 Ch 155 He is also a skilled and creative combatant, being able to fight many foes, human or demonic, at once and use his abilities in the best way to surpass a challenge, such as surrounding a group of enemies he does not wish to harm with a fire barrier that will only burn them if crossed. Understood the plan of a group of splinters of Eternity before anyone else in the Defenders. Decided to torture an angel instead of killing it to scare satanists into making them loyal to him in hopes they'd hurt less people. Cleverly carried out a plan to manipulate Hawkeye and the Thunderbolts into resurrecting his wife and prevent a war in hell.
Weaknesses: Weakened by intense cold. Daimon is unwilling to kill, although he will if necessary, and has trouble controlling his emotions, sometimes falling in a berserked rage. Do note however that in more recent comics he has been portrayed as much more aggressive and sometimes willing to kill humans without hesitation, but less susceptible to the Darksoul's influence. Struggles to read the minds of satanists | Weaker when outside of Hell.
Notes:
*Before making any changes to this page, please read the Power-scaling Rules for Marvel and DC Comics.
*Hellstrom is extremely inconsistent, having been hurt by or unable to physically defeat characters he should be far stronger than based on other feats, such as Crossbones, Blade, Hellcat or Jessica Jones. As such this wiki favors the Handbook explanation of him being able to increase his physical statistics through magic, for consistency purposes.
*While Daimon's trident used to be a weapon that he stole from Satan, Daimon has since absorbed it as part of him and can summon it at will, and as such being separated from it is no longer a weakness for him.
*While after Defenders 121 Daimon temporarily lost his Darksoul, the source of his powers, and was weakened by it, he obtained it a few appearances afterwards in Hellstorm: Prince of Lies.Hellstorm: Prince of Lies Vol 1 Ch 3 Due to his few and inconsistent combat showings in this state, it has not received a key.
*Daimon used to need to transform into his Son of Satan self to use his powers, however this has been shown to be his default and only state in newer comics.
*Daimon held Satan's place and power for a while, but eventually relinquished this position, keeping only a small portion of hell.
