As I mentioned in my Ghost Rider post, Damien Hellstorm, aka The Son of Satan, got into some pretty groovy adventures back in the 1970's when he spun off into his own story. He's been in and out of the Marvel spotlight for years, and even got his own (very brief) Hulu series before Disney start consolidating everything. The craziest entry into the wide range of characterizations is without a doubt the world of Marvel Mystics spun out by Warren Ellis.Hellstorm: Prince of Lies & Druid- Warren Ellis, one of the biggest innovators in comics, got into mainstream comics with a deeply dark take on the Son of Satan story, starting in issue 12. The series didn’t last long, but he did get a short follow up run called Druid that plays with how dark and nasty the old Druids must have been. Ellis also writes the Castlevania cartoon on Netflix (which I haven’t seen yet), but he’s one of several comics creators who has been in a “me too” scandal in the last year so I’m not sure where his career is going.
