Daimon Helstrom

"Today is a big day for fans of the Marvel Universe with WandaVision’s debut on Disney+. Once you finish watching the sitcom-esque adventures of the Vision and the Scarlet Witch in the two episodes, there might be a craving for some more Marvel magic, check out Helstrom!
A darker vision of the Marvel Universe, Helstrom premiered late last year on Hulu and is available to stream. The series follows Tom Austen as Daimon Helstrom with Sydney Lemmon as his sister, Ana, and is based upon the “Son of Satan” and “Hellstrom” comic books that Marvel has published over the last 50 years. CoSA VFX was tasked with creating visual effects for the Hulu series which has 10 episodes available.
Daimon Hellstrom (in the comics, his name had two L’s) first appeared in a Ghost Rider story in 1971. He was created by writers Roy Thomas and Gary Friedrich. The character quickly headlined the Marvel Spotlight comic book series which paved the way for his own title called “The Son of Satan” and would later appear in Marvel’s Defenders comic books where, among other characters, he would interact with the Vision and the Scarlet Witch – the same two characters that star in WandaVision.
In the comics, Daimon’s most powerful weapon was his trident and CoSA was entrusted in bringing this iconic weapon to life for television.
Additionally, CoSA VFX developed different fire looks based on Daimon’s various powers. “He has the power to burn the demon out of someone plus manipulate and move fire, much like the parting of the Red Sea,” CoSA Supervisor Tom Mahoney explained, noting that the show employed different types of fire based on what they did. Our Atlanta team did a great job in developing the distinct fire looks, which was something that the showrunners were very particular about on the show.
Shows like WandaVision and Helstrom only scratch the surface of Marvel’s mystical world, and with films like Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness coming in the future, there’s so much more to come. It’s an exciting time to be a Marvel fan."
