In this specific instance I think many, including myself, assumed Mephisto would be the BAF to pay homage to the original Bring on the Bad Guys cover. This cover and some subsequent BOTBG covers generally depicted Mephisto as a larger-than-life threat compared to the other villains shown. Also, being the last of these characters without a Marvel Legends counterpart, it seemed to have been a perfect fit.
