B.L. Zebub's true form as a demonic deity
B.L. Zebub is the primary antagonist of the 1978 animated short The Devil and Daniel Mouse. Based on Mr. Scratch (another literature abbreviation of the Devil's name) from The Devil and Daniel Webster's short story, B.L. Zebub is a demonic deity whose name and deceptive nature are mainly used to lure his victims into the ultimate goal of eternal damnation. He appears in Heroes vs. Villains as one of Chernabog's lesser demon lords. He also appears in Equivalent Villains War.
Heroes Vs Villains War[]
The Legion of Darkness[]
B.L. Zebub is summoned on the infernal realm of the Black God Chernabog as among the primary demon lords of the Legion of Darkness. Despite Hexxus' absence, B.L. Zebub gets relieved when the goddess Eris persuade a group of mortal hunters release Hexxus from his imprisonment, leaving them to settle on a new plan.
A New Threat[]
As part of the new plan, Hexxus, Eris, the Firebird, Maleficent, the Horned King and their forces launch a full attack at the heroes, destroying many living forces on Earth. After the battle, the demons celebrate their victory. In spite of their triumph over the heroes, the demons become infuriated when the Emperor of the Night shows them the prophet Moses as a major threat to Chernabog's power, with B.L. Zebub being one of the outspoken critics over the aforementioned technicality.
The Summoning[]
B.L. Zebub's disguise as a record producer
To ensure the Black God's ascension, the Legion of Darkness make arrangements for the fated Summoning, in which Chernabog, as well as an another lesser demon lord, would be released from Bald Mountain at his greatest triumph, assuming that everything was going according to plan. Soon enough, the demon lords convene to discuss the terms of the ritual of the Summoning, leaving the villain forces to capture the heroines needed for Mok's musical rite. Satisfied, Chernabog's spirit assigns B.L. Zebub and the other demon lords to make arrangements for the battle to come.
The Battle of Bald Mountain[]
As per Mok's instructions, the Legion of Darkness appear on Bald Mountain's powerplant after the ritual has been completed. B.L. Zebub is among the demon lords to partake in the battle. Shape-shifting into various animals, he makes his assault against the heroes, attacking one after the other, including Basil, Bernard, Ariel, Flounder, Bianca, and Timon.
However, the tide of the battle turns against the Legion of Darkness, which witnesses the fall of Chernabog to Moses' lord. As Chernabog is forced to retreat back to his infernal realm, B.L. Zebub and the other demon lords depart as well, not wanting to face the wrath of Moses' lord.
Future Endeavors[]
Settling in the Alcatraz Prison in San Francisco, B.L. Zebub and the survived demon lords are left begrudged on their defeat against the heroes. Still, B.L. Zebub has hopes that they will figure out a new way to bring their master back to the world of the living in due time.
