* AwesomeEgo: Lucifer unsurprisingly is a prideful [[TheSociopath sociopath]] to all but a select few individuals who sees and treats everyone else as bugs. Considering he is the second-most powerful being in all of Creation, equaled only by Michael and surpassed only by [[{{God}} The Presence]] Himself, this mindset is very much understandable.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: People are split on how wildly different the 2019 series is to the original comic's run. While the original Mike Carrey series portrayed Lucifer as an [[LackOfEmpathy amoral]] being who only ever came after you if you were a direct threat to him or his assets and [[MagnificentBastard never had to suffer any lasting consequences for it]], in 2019 ''The Sandman Universe'' run he is portrayed closer to a more conventionally evil Devil who is more likely to torment humans for his own gain and suffer a PyrrhicVictory from the fallout it causes. While fans think that this change missed the point of what made Lucifer Morningstar so intriguing, others find the idea of Lucifer's behavior being portrayed as self-destructive and actually having to consider his actions makes him intriguing in a whole new way. Really it depends on who you'd want Lucifer to be: an {{Ubermensch}} who's AboveGoodAndEvil, or a ByronicHero who is just as much a villain to himself as he is to the rest of the Universe.
* CharacterRerailment: The 2019 ''The Sandman Universe'' design for Lucifer is done in a Music/DavidBowie-esq [[OtherworldlyAndSexuallyAmbiguous beautifully androgynous]] design that Creator/NeilGaiman originally intended compared to the more conventionally handsome portrayal in the Mike Carrey series (and its Holly Black continuation).

* MagnificentBastard: [[{{Satan}} Lucifer Morningstar]] is the endlessly proud, brilliant and dangerous Devil. Seeking his freedom from creation, Lucifer deals with endless threats to his new Creation and his safety, constantly outplaying and destroying them. Even in places where he is powerless, such as the Japanese underworld Yomi, Lucifer sees through every trap against him and defeats his supposed hosts. When struck down by another trap, Lucifer returns to life by manipulating his niece Elaine Belloc into sacrificing her life for him and promptly outsmarts and destroys the angel Amenadiel who seeks to destroy him when he is still recovering before returning Elaine to life to repay his debt. Pursuing his freedom from all Creation, Lucifer constantly demonstrates why he is the king of manipulation, second only to God himself.

** Mazikeen is Lucifer's consort and one of the mightiest of the Lilim. Having murdered an angel for insulting her mother after luring him to a trap as a child, Mazikeen later pledged herself to Lucifer and follows him into exile on earth. Showing her abilities by luring one of the mighty Jin-en-Mok into a trap to kill him, Mazikeen routinely acts in her own and Lucifer's interests. Becoming the warleader of the Lilim by facing one of her brothers, Mazikeen allows him to cut her until he is close enough she might spit poison into his eyes and finish him off. Mazikeen repeatedly demonstrates a ruthless show of tactics, concealing her true abilities to catch her mad brother Scoria off guard before he can violate her, siding with Lucifer against her mother Lilith and the invasion of heaven.

** Izanami is the queen of Yomi-no-Kuni and Japanese goddess of death, who operates the [[EldritchLocation House of Windowless Rooms]], wherein sinful souls are tormented with endless nightmares. Purchasing Lucifer's wings from Remiel, she offers to parley with him on the condition that he come to her realm as a powerless mortal, and she is forced to return the wings after her sons violate Lucifer's [[SacredHospitality right of hospitality]].

Rudd is challenged by her brother Brosag to a duel, but wins when he [[LoopholeAbuse uses the demons' own rules]] to have their father force Brosag to fight him sword to sword. Later betraying a conspiracy to Lys's father Arux to climb higher in the ranks of the house, Rudd betrays Arux himself in favor of Lucifer to win further favor and uses it to become a prophet in hell, preaching forgiveness.

A ruthless man who goes and punishes the worst sinners, Solomon happens upon a mobster, corrupt cop and a former Neo-Nazi named Karl who maimed his best friend Jayesh out of fear he was attracted to him. Using this knowledge to force Karl in to murder the corrupt cop, Solomon intends for Karl to die while also arranging for a corrupt politician to be there at the same time, destroying four sinners in the bargain.

* MagnificentBastard: Lucifer himself, fittingly enough. [[spoiler: Morningstar is the endlessly proud, brilliant and God.]] Almost everything ends up being part of a careful plot by one or dangerous Devil. Seeking his freedom from creation, Lucifer deals with endless threats to his new Creation and his safety, constantly outplaying and destroying them. Even in places where he is powerless, such as the other Japanese underworld Yomi, Lucifer sees through every trap against him and defeats his supposed hosts. When struck down by another trap, Lucifer returns to life by manipulating his niece Elaine Belloc into sacrificing her life for him and promptly outsmarts and destroys the angel Amenadiel who seeks to destroy him when it's not, they spin up a plan B that usually ends up working better.he is still recovering before returning Elaine to life to repay his debt. Pursuing his freedom from all Creation, Lucifer constantly demonstrates why he is the king of manipulation, second only to God himself.

Which is probably why Creator/MikeCarey had Jill Presto "repair" Mazikeen's face at the first opportunity; he wouldn't have had much attachment to the whole gimmick, since it was Creator/NeilGaiman's invention.
