Blackheart is the son of Mephisto, and being so, planned to seize his father's power and succeeded. Edit
If Mephisto is obviously the devil, then Blackheart is the quintessential son of Satan. Blackheart is Mephisto's son, an evil mystical creature that plots to take his father's throne and rule all of Mephisto's Realm!
Origin
A certain area, Christ's Crown, was filled with evil over the years. There were many murders, rapes, muggings-for some reason, it was filled with it. This drew the attention of Mephisto. The Hell-Lord had been looking for a partner anyway, so he had an idea-he used the combined evil in the area to create a divinely empowered son-Blackheart. Blackheart wasn't as powerful as his father, but was amazingly strong and had the same penchent for gathering souls of the innocent. Mephisto taught him in his brand of evil, teaching what evil was and how to do it right. Blackheart gained power and knowledge quickly, and attempted to corrupt Daredevil, failing. He also tried Spider-Man, too, but was unsuccessful. Disappointed in his son, Mephisto captured Daredevil, Number Nine, Brandy Ash, Gorgon, Karnak, and Ahura(the latter three being Inhumans), so Blackheart could observe the mortals and learn about evil. However, the plan backfired, as his son rebelled.
Blackheart's Rebellion and Other Misdeeds
Observing the heroes was a mistake for Mephisto. It caused the Black Prince, instead of becoming more useful and evil, to rebel against him. Blackheart changed his form of evil and tried to destroy his fatherbut failed. Mephisto diminished his powers as a result and sent him off. But Blackheart was not done. He workd on corrupting anti-heroes(who were more susceptible to turn evil or corrupt), specifically Punisher, Wolverine, and his father's old rival, Ghost Rider(Dan Ketch version), to join his rebellion against his father and be evil. All three attempts failed. An attempt to team up with Wonder Man to take Mephisto down also failed. His three antihero enemies also stopped him from collecting the soul of a totally pure young girl. Mephisto appeared to berate his son and express his disappointment, but that was a mistake, as Blackheart stabbed him with a magical dagger stained with the girl's blood that looked like it killed him. Blackheart got to full power again, and Mephisto was banished from his dimension.
After enjoying finally being the ruler of Hell, Blackheart's move was to try and corrupt the Ghost Rider(Johnny Blaze version). He created a new Spirits of Vengeance team consisting of-Black Rose(Roxanne Simpson, who was Johnny's love before her temporary death), Verminus Rex(one of Ghost Rider's old enemies from long ago), Wallow(a former criminal and suicide attempter before being stopped by Blaze on both counts. He was later successful in both), Doghead, and Pao Fu(who Ghost Rider had tried and failed to save). Blackheart agreed to lift the curse on Ghost Rider's family if the Spirit of Vengeance would lead his team. It lasted a short time before the Rider and Son of Mephisto fell out, as Blackheart was banished from Hell and the curse was put back on the family. Without a leader, Mephisto made a timely appearance in his dimension, gaining his throne and his power back.
While ruler of Hell, Blackheart had tormented the soul of the mutant Stryfe by manipulating the X-Force group, which attracted the attention of the sorceress Selene. After banishment from Hell, Blackheart allied with Selene as the temporary Black King of the evil Hellfire Club. After defeating Selene's enemy, Alyssa Moy, Blackheart battled the Fantastic Four, Mechamage, Hellstorm, and others; they beat Blackheart, locking him beneath New York's Hellfire Club. Trapped there, he continued to aid Selene, opposing X-Force in an attempt to corrupt Sunspot.
Blackheart may be there, he may be "assumed dead"(by his dear dad), he may be in hiding, or he could be anywhere. Most likely he's in Mephisto's Dimension, in his eternal war to spread evil capture the souls of the innocent-and rule the Hell that he believes is his. One thing we know-Blackheart is not gone. He may not ever be.
