Line 26:
A common twist is that [[Satan Is Good]], a victim of propaganda; see [[God Is Evil]]. Of course, when [[God Is Evil]], he may overlap with Satan.
 
See also [[The Legions of Hell]]. When hiding under an alias, usually a pretty transparent one, this becomes [[Louis Cypher]]. If there's more than one we're talking about [[Demon Lords and Archdevils]]. You might be interested in his brothers as well, [[Archangel Gabriel]], [[Archangel Michael]], [[Archangel Raphael]], and [[Archangel RaphaelUriel]].
 
For when Satan rocks out, see [[Rock Me, Asmodeus]].
Line 205:
* The 2016 FOX series ''[[Lucifer (series)|Lucifer]]'', based on the DC/Vertigo [[Lucifer (comics)|comic book]], features a title character who was forced against his will into running Hell by God, and who walked five years before the series opened. Although a cynic and a hedonist, he isn't particularly ''evil'', although he's certainly good at temptation and punishment. And while an angel is trying to get him ''back'' into Hell, Lucifer is unexpectedly [[Humanity Ensues|becoming mortal]].
* Octomus the Master - the [[Big Bad]] of ''[[Power Rangers: Mystic Force]]'' - might be this for the ''[[Power Rangers]]'' franchise. His title is Supreme Master of the Underworld; whether the Underworld is Hell or not is debatable, but it certainly is a hellish dimension populated by demons and he is their ruler. Given that he is practically [[Made of Evil]] to the point than [[Holy Hand Grenade|good magic is lethal to him]], it certainly seems possible.
* [[Bigger Bad|The First Evil]] in ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' is this in all but name, being the self-described source of Evil itself and every evil scheme by every other villain ultimately originating with him.

Line 313 ⟶ 312:
* ''[[Retarded Animal Babies]]'' has Satan as a recurring character, often with his name screwed with to make other names for himself, such as "Stan" or "Santa".
 
== WebcomicsWeb Comics ==
* ''[[MAG-ISA]]''—While Satan isn't shown at all in this comic, the [http://mag-isa.thecomicseries.com/comics/pl/119731 bad guys are admittedly in the service of Satan]. They masquerade as "good" though. Since Satan masquerades as an angel of light. (2 Corinthians 11:14)
* Parody: In ''[[Dinosaur Comics]]'', Satan is seemingly a videogame-obsessed nerd. He's never seen directly, instead being represented by red text coming from below the panel border.

** [https://web.archive.org/web/20140209172152/http://sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=2249 GoodCopBadCop]
** Has recently shifted squarely into [[Lawful Evil]]. Potraying him as lord of a [[Fire and Brimstone Hell]], the [[Man Behind the Man]] to the [[Mega Corp]] ''and'' a [[Bad Boss]] has a way of doing that.
* Satan appears in ''[[Casey and Andy]]'' not only as a woman, but as the girlfriend of one of the title characters. Remembering her time as an Archangel, she is good at [http://www.galactanet.com/comic/view.php?strip=173 changing burnt-out light bulbs].
* Satan is a minor character in the ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' webcomic ''UG Madness'', usually working with Magic R&D director Mark Rosewater (portrayed as a comical imp). His first appearance was in [https://web.archive.org/web/20090119091813/http://www.ugmadness.net/index.php?date=2004-07-30 this strip].
* The folkloric devil is often discussed in ''[[Webcomics/West Of Bathurst|West Of Bathurst]]'', a slice of life comic, as seen [https://web.archive.org/web/20120731034830/http://www.masseycollege.ca/alumni/westofbathurst/westofbathurst071103.html here]. The longer the comic goes on, the more likely it seems that one character actually is the devil.
Line 341 ⟶ 340:
* The short film [https://web.archive.org/web/20100909182203/http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1928345 "Raking Leaves"] by comedy troupe [[Stella]] and Bradley Cooper involves a rather unexpected appearance.
* The [[Whateley Universe]] has something that claims to be Satan. Merry has even been spiritually sent to 'Hell' and tortured by him. He claims God exists, and the two of them are trying to keep [[Eldritch Abomination|eldritch abominations]] from bursting into their universe.
* ''[[LOLcats|]]'': Basement Cat]]
* {{spoiler|''[[That Guy With The Glasses]]'': {{spoiler|Bennett The Sage.]]}} Are you really surpised?<ref>Well Sage was.</ref>
** {{spoiler|He's at least able to make a good impression...}}
** Satan appears occasionally on ''[[Ask That Guy With The Glasses]]''. Ask That Guy works for him, however Satan [[Even Evil Has Standards|can be unnerved by what he says.]] Also, the Nostalgia Critic made a comment that Satan goes to the Devil Devil when he's not being evil enough.
* In [[Rosto AD]]'s ''[[Mind My Gap]]'', we have [https://web.archive.org/web/20131007103441/http://www.rostoad.com/ep9.html Virgil S. Horn]. As the series narrator and villain, Rosto and he don't exactly say he's the devil, but when Virgil covers the second "a" in his middle name... Besides being a villain, he owns a tvTV show and is a (con)cept artist.

Line 380 ⟶ 379:
* In ''[[The Boondocks]]'', he trains Stinkmeaner in martial arts, sends his spirit back to Earth as a reward, and gets called a [[Memetic Mutation|"BITCH ASS NYUKKA!"]] for his trouble.
* He is the antagonist of an episode of ''[[Rick and Morty]]'', selling cursed artifacts using the alias Mr. Needful. [[The Devil Is a Loser|Not the most competent version]], he is first outsmarted by Rick (who puts him out of business), and then after getting Summer to trust him and help him open a new business (only to toss her aside when she is no longer) gets beaten to a pulp by Rick ''and'' Summer.
* In ''[[Hazbin Hotel]]'', Lucifer (as the King of Hell is called), is protagonist Charlie's father; [[Word of God]] claims he is a [[Fallen Angel]], but exactly how much he has in common with the Abrahamic version of the Devil is not yet known. The season 1 trailer shows him to have six radiant wings, suggesting he is based loosely on his depiction in the [[The Bible| Book of Isaiah]]. The name "Satan" has been mentioned as the ruler of the Wrath Circle, but in this case, he is a different character.
