* BiggerBad: Somehow his activities fall under the radar during Civil War and World War Hulk, even though he could do more damage than both combined.



* NumberOfTheBeast: Since his re-entry to Earth split him into six hundred and sixty six different fragments, which is just fine with him, as he is omnipresent. The Ghost Rider sets about destroying all the fragments but each time one is killed, all the others get stronger, figuring he will eventually be powerful enough to defeat whoever is targeting him. If the fragments aren't killed off, he gets to cover more ground.

!!Lucifer
* BatmanGambit: He tortures those in his hell even more than just being there already does to give them more incentive to escape, figuring maybe if someone else manages to get out, he can follow them. It finally works when he snares a Ghost Rider.
** DidntThinkThisThrough:[[spoiler:Who later drags him back, kicking and screaming.]]
* GreenEyedMonster:The real reason he rebelled against heaven is because he was sick of all the love God was giving to the puny, sinful humans.
* HornedHumanoid:Sometimes
* FallenAngel
* LightIsNotGood:Contractually obligated.
* MotherOfAThousandYoung: Possibly a father, he's supposedly created numerous demons but it can be reasoned he's not the source of all of them, maybe not even the original source of them but who knows.

If the fragments aren't killed off, he gets to cover more ground.
* {{Pride}}:Also pretty much required, although he is not the worst in this area.
* TheDevil: He claims to be but many other lords of hell dispute it, some have apparently been at it longer than him. The fact that many religious scholars(even in real life) argue that Lucifer and Satan are not the same entity doesn't help.
** IronicHell:After getting kicked out of heaven he wanted to become the lord of hell but unlike everyone else competing for that title he can't escape his own realm without help. Even when he gets out, he's effectively trapped as soon as someone sticks him back in.
* VoluntaryShapeShifting


Added DiffLines:

* AGodAmI:He had more pride than Lucifer!
