Mythic Orcus is coming. I am finishing up the chromatic dragons and then I will be updating epic monsters here:

5e Updates: Mythic, Epic, and Hardcore Monsters, Equipment, & Magic

You mean mythic CR 33 right?

All of the versions of Orcus in Rappan Athuk are avatars. So you really on not killing him, just his manifestation in the Prime Material.

Which is why Epic Orcus is perfect for the non-avatar.

May I suggest that you start out with the ones that have featured in WotC adventures, i.e. Orcus, Baphomet, Demogorgon, Yeenoghu and the rest of the demons (primarily from OotA), Zariel, Bel, Tiamat from Avernus, Klauth and Imyrith etc.?

Undetermined at this point. I will review the big O when I get to the Demon Nobles

I would base the initial Mythic versions on the ones out of the books, before getting crazy with them and doing your own Epic Mythic versions.

That has already been done: Mythic Encounters I am more interested in taking it to the next step. However, I may do two versions

During my 3 year Dnd campaign it happened. Went from level 0 to 26 with the same 6 players. We grew to almost Godlike powers. We were tasked with saving reality itself. Orcus was behind it. It was his power play. We killed 2 corrupted gods on our way, and had to find new replacements to take their mantle correctly. With 6 level 26 players one of them being the original God of death at the beginning of his existence Orcus was destroyed. What passed for his soul was cast into chaos and truly unmade by Thanos. But literally the fabric of reality was on the line.
