* BodyguardBetrayal: How he lost his kingdom: the Dutch merchant Van Gulik bribed many of his guards to start a coup, forcing him to run to save his young son and fight another day. In particular, his personal bodyguard Bujang murdered his wife and tried to kill his son Daniel something for which Sumankan personally cut him down when he finally came back to retake the throne.
Added DiffLines:
** He eventually decides to give up the one against the whites in general... And resume the one against Van Gulik and the traitors that helped him.

But he was mortally wounded killing Van Gulik, so he instead ordered his men to treat them as allies.

** In his final storyline he finally makes two ''explicit'' ones [[GodzillaThreshold because the situation got that bad]], but he's still prudent. In the first he consecrates his soul to a certain devil in exchange for [[PapaWolf Yama's soul and sanity being restored]], after he had tried everything else. In the second, with his powers made unreliable by Narbas (the man whose body Mefisto had stolen to come back to life) coming in the area and Tex already aiming his gun, Mefisto offers the souls of everyone around in exchange for unleashing a horde of demons on the island, knowing that the service being rendered would allow the devil to claim the reward automatically... But failing to notice that [[spoiler:Narbas had reclaimed his body just as Mefisto called out the devil, so he only got the ''illusion'' of his triumph before being dragged back to hell]].
* DemonicPossession: How Mefisto came back from the dead: a Hindi warlock named Narbas tried to resurrect him on Lily's request, and Mefisto took advantage of this to steal his body and send him to hell in his place. [[spoiler:[[LaserGuidedKarma This leads directly to his final defeat after Narbas figures out how to pull the same trick on one of his followers, as his very presence now makes Mefisto's powers unreliable]].
