Lucifer (comics): Difference between revisions

* [[Aristocrats Are Evil]]: Inverted: the demons of Hell aren't evil because they are aristocrats, they are ''pretending'' to be aristocrats because they are evil, and it's fashionable.

* [[Artificial Limbs]]: {{spoiler|Jill Presto's metal hand.}}

* [[Apocalypse How]]: They come in groups, escalating from Class Z to Z-2 to Z-3, ultimately threatening the existence of all creation''s''.

* [[The Atoner]]: Rudd's character arc has him starting out as this, and then going very strange places. {{spoiler|Meleos}} gets this one twice over, the second time to make up for how he resolved the first.

* [[Bittersweet Ending]] {{spoiler|Everyone pretty much gets a happy ending, except Lucifer, who can never have the one thing he truly wants so he disappears into oblivion. Whether he just separates himself from everything or destroyed himself is up to the reader.}}

* [[Black Magic]]

* [[Blond Guys Are Evil]]: Just look at the picture.

* [[Brains and Bondage]]: Lady Lys

* [[Creepy Child]]: Innocence (AKA the Child) of the Basanos.

* [[Crossover Cosmology]]: Appearances by Norse gods, Japanese gods, various mythological creatures and so on.

** Subverted with Erishad. Her gods cursed her with immortality, complete with immunity to aging and injury. Sounds awesome, right?

{{quote| '''Erishad:''' Every morning my body forgets all wounds, all hurts. And makes itself again exactly as it was when the gods first cursed me. I have had the same miscarriage every day for four thousand years.}}

* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: The Jin en Mok and the Silk Man. Okay, ''you'' watch them eat if you don't believe me.

** The angels, demons and Yahweh himself seem more like this than their usual portrayals. They're just prettier.

* [[Evil Matriarch]]: Izanami and Lilith.

* [[Exiled From Continuity]]: By virtue of being a spinoff of a [[Exiled From Continuity]] title.

* [[Holding Back the Phlebotinum]]: Lucifer, for all intents and purposes, his powers and abilities are beyond [[Superpower Lottery]], but the series is not mainly about physical combat and certainly that's not Lucifer's prefered way to get what he wants, also it is made clear that in certain realms Lucifer has to abide to its law; so you won't get to see Lucifer going [[Darkseid]] and anihilating other [[Physical God|Physical Gods]] with his might.

* [[Honey Trap]]: Musubi, Cestis.

* [[Inspector Javert]]: Solomon {{spoiler|but he doesn't limit himself to just one target}}.

* [[Intellectual Animal]]: Lord Arux's "pet", Prackspoor.

* [[Knight Templar]]: Amenadiel. Also Perdissa, who crosses it with elements of [[Yandere]]. And [[Lawful Stupid|Gabriel]], in the backstory. And Remiel.

* [[Like a Badass Out of Hell]]: Christopher Rudd ascends from being one of the damned to {{spoiler|a member of hell's nobility, then a mystic sage preaching salvation in hell itself, to finally leading an army of the damned against Heaven.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Little Miss Almighty]]}}: {{spoiler|Elaine at the conclusion, having assumed God's mantle.}}

* [[Look Ma, No Plane]]: Gaudium uses this technique to get from London to New York. To be fair, Gaudium's wings are shorter than his arms and his best flying speed in only a bit faster than a human can walk. So hitching a ride on a commercial jet is practical.
