I know this is late but whatever...
Melkor/Morgoth is the source of all evil in Arda.
He was one of the major parts in the creation of Arda.
Valar the mightiest of Ainur are essentially the same as archangels.
Ainur=Angels
Taken from lotr wiki: "When the Valar entered into Arda and began to shape the unwrought matter, Melkor saw the Field of Arda and claimed it for his own, striving against the Valar. He took shape in tremendous majesty like a burning mountain of ice with piercing eyes that withered, and when they raised mountains Melkor cast them down, and when they delved valleys Melkor raised them up; yet still the Earth was fashioned slowly and made firm. For a long while, Melkor fought alone against the might of all the other Valar and Maiar of Arda, and he long held the upper hand."
Until [Insert every martial art to ever exist] master Tulkas came and gave the valar the upper hand.
In Tolkien-verse Ainur "looses" power when they use it, Melkor is to pride full to do this and that's why he gets over powered in the war of wrath and sent to 'The Void'. Which he eventually escapes and which eventually leads to the second music of the ainur which destroys the whole world and creates a new perfect one.

Plus the earth is made round and the left continent gets dimensionally moved or something.
Farewell.
Post Scriptum: Alot of people on comicvine seems to be really idiotic.
