Lucifer Morningstar

Lucifer Morningstar

Lucifer Morningstar is DC’s equivalent to the biblical character of the same name. The son of The Presence (Yahweh, The Almighty, the True God of DC), Lucifer is his Father’s opposite, the darkness to his Father’s light. Formerly the ruler of hell, Lucifer abdicated his position to live among his Father’s creation, trying to find a way beyond Yahweh’s Great Plan. Lucifer is the definition of ruthless and will get his way regardless of the cost; however he will never lie (it’s a point of pride for him). The exact placement of SotST and the 2018 run are iffy to say the least. However, the 2018 run makes an emphasis that as Lucifer is older than the concept of time, and greater, he can be “chronologically challenged.” Lucifer’s powers are two-fold. One part is his willpower. This is the source of the majority of his ability and is by all definitions, infinite beyond compare (except to his Father). Lucifer thinks, therefore it is. This grants him manipulation across the entire spectrum: reality, soul, matter, time, etc. The other part is The Morningstar, this is the fire which allows him numerous abilities such as: flame control, teleportation, or igniting stars. Lucifer’s only true weakness would be his arrogance. While he does plan for everything, sometimes he will underestimate an opponent or event. His omniscience is limited in that if he isn’t paying attention, he won’t know. And if he underestimates, doesn’t care or is otherwise distracted, he won’t pay attention.

  • Can freely exist and travel in The Void. (source) (The Void is the space outside of Creations, beyond stories and the blank area where the comic hasn’t been made yet.)
  • Reality needs a devil to exist, as neither Creation nor God can function without Lucifer; Reality’s attempt to fill the gap ends horribly, and Lucifer must return. ([source](https://imgur.com/gallery/FXDSBsQ, https://imgur.com/gallery/5ZforAy, https://imgur.com/gallery/H8bzG3P, https://imgur.com/gallery/Ve7LWDl, https://imgur.com/gallery/dQrE9Wk, https://imgur.com/gallery/TMlGyMG)) (Lucifer’s word has equal power to God’s; Reality is damaged from the very beginning.)
