had reservations about this idea and suggested a series focusing on the son of Satan instead
(due to an oversight, "The Mark of Satan" is mentioned in a blurb in ''Ghost Rider'' #1).
According to Thomas, Lee approved of the idea, and
Gary Friedrich and
Herb Trimpe were assigned the task of designing the character. However, Trimpe denies this, claiming Friedrich alone designed Daimon Hellstrom and only brought him in as artist after the character was fully realized. Thomas has said he later realized that a 1960s fanzine character created by his friend Biljo White had looked very similar.
Thomas recalled in 2001:
The character Daimon Hellstrom first appeared in ''
Ghost Rider'' #1 (Sept. 1973), then was spun off into a feature, "Son of Satan", in ''
Marvel Spotlight'' #12–24 (Oct. 1973 – Oct. 1975).
During the "Son of Satan" run, ''Marvel Spotlight'' was a controversial series, with numerous readers writing to object to the depictions of
Satanism

.
The character's success faded soon after the series launch, and ''Son of Satan'' was cancelled with issue #7, though an unused fill-in was published as ''Son of Satan'' #8 (Feb. 1977).
Hellstrom became a recurring character in ''
The Defenders'',
Steve Gerber having added the character to the team during the time he was writing the "Son of Satan" feature in ''Marvel Spotlight'', and Hellstrom continued to appear in ''Defenders'' following the cancellation of ''Marvel Spotlight''. One of the later writers on ''Defenders'',
J. M. DeMatteis, featured a number of subplots focused on Daimon Hellstrom, commenting that he "was absolutely my favorite character. Characters like Son of Satan are a wonderful metaphor for what we all contain, good and evil, high and low aspirations. He's literally the son of the Devil, trying not to be what his father is. For a writer like me, how can you not feast on that?"
Hellstrom's story reaches a resolution of sorts in ''The Defenders'' #120-121 (June–July 1983), as Hellstrom is freed from his satanic heritage and marries teammate
Hellcat.
In 1993, he received his own series once more with ''Hellstorm: Prince of Lies''. As suggested by the title, his surname was spelled "Hellstorm" during this series, the character explicitly choosing to change it from "Hellstrom" in the first and second issues. Rafael Nieves wrote the first four issues, Len Kaminski took over as scripter until issue #11, and
Warren Ellis then took over as writer until the series' cancellation with issue #21. In 2019, the character joined a team consisting of

retconned into a demon named

Satana, were trained by their father in the art of

. He then set himself up as an
occult investigator and defender of humanity, battling dark arcane forces—primarily those of his father—under the name of the "Son of Satan", as a demonologist and exorcist.
In his first appearance, Daimon battled Satan and the Witch-Woman, alongside the
Ghost Rider. Soon after that, he began a long association with the
Defenders by helping them battle Asmodeus (the leader of the
Sons of Satannish) and
Satannish himself. He also helped the Defenders battle the third incarnation of the
Sons of the Serpent. Later, alongside the
Human Torch, he battled Dryminextes. He then encountered Satana for the first time as an adult. Alongside the
Thing, he battled Kthara. Alongside the Ghost Rider again, he battled the Challenger. Hellstrom next battled the Possessor. After
Steve Gerber ceased writing the book, Hellstrom began working at the
University of the District of Columbia Parapsychology Department, where he had a friendship with a female professor who was a
Wiccan. Following these events, he was rarely seen for a while. One of his few recorded adventures during this time was again with the Defenders, battling the

He worked with the team to battle the Six-Fingered Hand, and was taken to Hell by Satan. He was subsequently expelled from Hell by Satan and rejoined the Defenders. Alongside
Luke Cage, he battled the Sons of Satannish again. Hellstrom then battled an unnamed demon who had taken his place as "Daimon Hellstrom". Alongside the Defenders, he battled the

Patsy eventually used a dark book in Daimon's possession to summon "Satan" and pleaded for him to save Daimon's life. However, to do this, Daimon had to regain his Darksoul and once again become the "Son of Satan". Daimon was re-imbued with his essence, but upon witnessing Daimon's "true face" of evil, Patsy went insane. Daimon kept her away from prying eyes in his estate at Fire Lake, where she spent most days asleep or babbling seemingly randomly. She would remain there until one day she regained enough sanity to weep for having brought back such evil into the world, and committed

to resurrect Patsy from the dead.
In the ''Hellcat'' miniseries, Daimon told his wife that he was never truly the son of Marduk Kurios; his true father was
Satannish, who was himself the son of the Dread
Dormammu. Daimon claimed he had been fathered as part of a plot to take control of the various "Hell" dimensions. These claims, however, heavily contradicted Hellstorm's established history. It has since been established that Hellstorm was deliberately lying to Patsy when he made these claims; his love for Patsy led him to push her away in hopes that she would be happier without him. Hellstorm used this claim to assume control over Satannish's realm, and inherit Dormammu's right to rule as designated by the powerful "Flames of Faltine". However, without either Satannish or Dormammu backing Daimon, Mephisto was able to gain control of the vast majority of "Hell". Daimon was recruited by

Hood first, who is attacking potential magic users who could also claim the title and, helped by him and
Brother Voodoo (now going by Doctor Voodoo, as the new Sorcerer Supreme), they manage to banish Dormammu, leaving the Hood powerless for a while. Sometime around the Dark Reign, Hellstrom, after being informed by a Satanist priest of the existence of the Antichrist, vows to slay the boy and, joining once more with former girlfriend
Jaine Cutter, rescues the Ghost Rider from the renegade angel
Zadkiel's forces, and eventually the Riders united are able to reclaim Heaven, overthrow Zadkiel, and triumph over the forces Satan unleashed against them.
During the ''
Chaos War'' storyline, Hellstrom rises from the pits of Hell itself to inform the newly assembled "God Squad" that his father's fiery realm had fallen to the hordes of the Chaos King, and that all the dead souls of the Underworld were now under his thrall. Hellstrom joins forces with the God Squad and pits his demonic powers against those of the enslaved Zeus, Hera, and Ares, to little avail, and later journeys with them in a last desperate attempt to seal Mikaboshi in Yomi.

Powers and abilities
As a ruler of a dimension of Hell, Hellstorm commands virtually unlimited power in his own dimension. Potentially, he can perform virtually any magical feat. As Hellstorm, thanks to his demonic heritage, Daimon Hellstrom could sense the presence of the supernatural and could cast spells to transport himself and others into mystical dimensions and back to Earth. Other powers he exhibited at this time may not have stemmed from himself (as he had lost his "Darksoul," see below) but from his magical trident. Hellstorm could project mystic energy in the form of "soulfire" (also called "hellfire") from his trident, causing excruciating pain within living beings through direct contact of a person's life force. The soulfire did not physically burn in the sense that true fire does, and Hellstrom could project soulfire as a concussive blast of force. He could use soulfire for various other effects, including flight and physical transformations.
As the Son of Satan, Hellstrom possessed supernatural powers derived from his "Darksoul," a demonic counterpart to his human soul, which physically manifested itself in the pentagram-shaped birthmark on his chest. The Darksoul granted him superhuman strength, and the ability to project soulfire. He was able to magically change into his demonic costume at will by extending the middle three fingers of each hand in the shape of a trident, concentrating, and letting his soulfire engulf his body. Once, Hellstrom used his powers to travel through time to ancient Atlantis. As Hellstorm and the Son of Satan, Hellstrom wielded a trident made of netharanium, a "psychosensitive" metal found only in "Satan's" extra-dimensional realm. The trident was a medium through which magical energies, such as Hellstrom's soulfire, could be amplified and projected. By projecting the soulfire through the trident, Hellstrom could gain enough thrust to levitate and to fly for short periods of time. He also used a fiery chariot drawn by three winged demonic horses. Hellstrom is an expert in demonology, and a highly experienced exorcist with some knowledge of mystic rites. He has an advanced degree in theology, and is self-taught in demonology.
