    Little is known about this 15th-16th century German and yet he has had novels, poems, operas, movies, musicals, comic strips and video games based on him. Who was he?

    		Yay Frankie! I was wondering if you would be the first to jump on that one.
    I must admit that I hadn't realised Faust was based on any real person at all.
    I've also just seen a certain verbal similarity between "Me, Faust" and "Mephisto", but that's probably coincidence.

    		Maybe not.

    I saw Samuel Ramey sing his famous Mephistopheles in Gounod's "Faust" not too long ago. A performance to die for.
