* ''Series/KamenRiderBuild'': In the ''ROGUE'' prequel, [[VillainProtagonist Gentoku]] directly compares [[TheCorrupter Blood Stalk]] to the demon, and later names his NebulousEvilOrganisation "Literature/{{Faust}}" as a nod to the tale, given how their objective is to use morally dubious means to obtain forbidden knowledge.

It's been decided that Manhua and Manhwa examples shall be placed into their own folders. Moving example to the correct section.


* ''Manhwa/SoulCartel'': Mephistopheles is one of the main characters and a demon of immense power. In the past, he entered a wager with Faust, with God as the judge, over whether Faust could resist the demon's temptations. As God intervened at the end to save Faust's soul, Mephistopheles feels that he was cheated out of his victory and has returned to Earth to hunt down Faust's reincarnation. Again he enters a bet -- this time over whether the reincarnated mortal can make Mephistopheles kinder -- but, since he feels that God would intervene again if He were to judge, he ropes the main character into this role.

* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'': Mephistopheles, the Lord of the Eighth, is a classic BigRedDevil with an affinity for {{Hellfire}}, which he invented, and for tricking mortals into his service; he's especially fond of offering his considerable arcane knowledge to ambitious wizards, with the hidden stipulation that his contract partners doom themselves to an eternity of grunt work in his laboratories by accepting his deal. He is also obsessed with overthrowing Asmodeus and becoming ruler of Hell, and plots and schemes night and day to achieve this goal.

He is also obsessed with overthrowing Asmodeus and becoming ruler of Hell, and plots and schemes night and day to achieve this goal. This is [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder true of every archdevil, of course,]] but Mephistopheles is a brazen enough [[TheStarscream Starscream]] to announce his intentions to Asmodeus' face, and will actively interfere with his rivals' schemes just to ensure that ''he'' [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou will be the one to cast down Asmodeus]]. [[KeepingTheEnemyClose Small wonder]], then, that Mephistopheles is assigned the [[CirclesOfHell circle of hell]] between Asmodeus' capital and the rest of Baator.
