But they won't. I know it. He hasn't been brought back for 6 years. You think they're gonna bring him back? He's gone, he's done, he's finished, it was all done when Elise blew out that flame, Solaris, including those inside of it, Mephiles and Iblis. They were all wiped from the timeline and didn't exist, ever(well, except in that deleted timeline), so, Sega would have a hard time because they already ditched him. I'm sorry to say, but for those who want him back, he'll never come back. His story is finished. So you, wiki contributor, cannot say that he will come back by "comic book revival" because he won't. What's the chance of that after 6 years without him? And his name is Mephiles, it is clearly stated in clear English by the voice actors in Sonic '06, not Mephisto.
