Yeah, I don't think its effects will be permanent too. But I don't think it's Mephisto. Yes, he has the power to do it, but why assemble a group of Spider-Man villains by giving them what they wanted before they give something (their souls) in exchange for it? Sure, he could have thought it was a sure thing, but why mess with Spider-Man again? And I don't think Marvel would use Mephisto in a Spider-Man story again, it's too outlandish (even though Spider-Man already fought an alien suit and a family of interdimensional vampires) and people would really worry about it (maybe that's what they want?). But it could be Dan Slott's chance to fix things (or not). Maybe even do a showdown between Spidey and Mephisto? If it's really him then we'll have to wait to find out. I personally think it's Kaine in the red suit.
