Yeah that's true, although we still have to remember it was Laxus who beat him and we all know he's ridiculously strong; how Ivan would compare to other Fairy Tail members we can't say for sure.

Plus I still reckon the soul does look more like Hades anyway. If it was Ivan though and its possible to free people from Franmalth that could be interesting to see what Ivan would do after that.
