Though various depictions of Lucifer -- the Biblical fallen angel and Devil of Christianity -- have been presented by DC Comics in their run, this interpretation by Neil Gaiman debuted in The Sandman in 1989. Later, the character acquired an ongoing Lucifer spin - off series written by Mike Carey, depicting his adventures on Earth, Heaven, and in the various other realms of his family 's creations and in uncreated voids after abandoning Hell in the Sandman series. Lucifer also appears as a supporting character in issues of The Demon, The Spectre, and other DC Universe comics. Two angels, several demons, a human, and briefly Superman have taken his place as ruler of Hell. In 2010, IGN named Lucifer as the 68th greatest comic book villain of all time. Lucifer appears as the titular character in a television series made by DC and Fox, portrayed by Tom Ellis.

While Lucifer had previously appeared in various stereotypical guises in earlier DC books, Gaiman 's version was premised on English poet and prose writer John Milton 's Paradise Lost. At Gaiman 's request of the artist, Lucifer looks like David Bowie at the time. In the Sandman series, Lucifer had ruled as Lord of Hell for 10 billion years after rebelling three seconds after Creation. Over that time, he had manipulated the various demons of Hell against each other, provided a place for dead mortals to be tormented, and led the war against Heaven. However, at some point during his rule, he had become bored with his existence. He became tired of the various stereotypes and prejudices that mortals held of the devil, such as the idea that he purchased and traded for souls, which was largely untrue, and that he forced mortals to commit evil acts. He had become tired of his reign over Hell, and felt it an unfair punishment that he should have to rule there forever simply because he once rebelled. In the Sandman story `` Season of Mists '', Lucifer expels all demons and damned souls from Hell before closing Hell 's gates and handing over the key to Hell to Dream of the Endless, the title character of the Sandman series. Eventually, control of Hell was handed over to two angels, Duma ( the angel of silence ) and Remiel ( `` set over those who rise '' ), while Lucifer simply retired to Earth, initially to Perth, Western Australia and later to Los Angeles, California. By the end of the series, however, it is revealed that Hell was not a punishment, but a gift : being the furthest possible place from the throne of light, Lucifer could be separated from God as far as possible. Lucifer never created the physical features of Hell -- Hell created itself around him. Solo series Lucifer was the main character in an eponymous series that ran for 75 issues and the Lucifer : Nirvana one - shot, from June 2000 to August 2006, the entire run of which was written by Mike Carey ( this series was preceded by Carey 's work in 1999, The Sandman Presents : Lucifer mini-series ). To Carey, the essence of the character was : We play safe. Most of us do, most of the time... but Lucifer does n't know the meaning of safe, and he never bothers to look down at the tramlines. He goes wherever the hell he likes, picks his fights where he finds them and generally wins... following ( his ) own will and ( his ) own instincts to the very end of the line, no matter what the obstacles are star. In the series, Lucifer runs a piano bar ( an element introduced in the Sandman story `` The Kindly Ones '' ) called `` Lux '' in Los Angeles, with the assistance of his mistress, Mazikeen who is a Lilim, one of the race descended from Lilith. Lucifer is portrayed as a sophisticated and charming man, in accordance with the stereotypical gentleman - devil. The theme of the Lucifer series revolves around the free will problem. Carey 's Lucifer is a figure representing will and individual willpower, who challenges the `` tyranny of predestination ''. While in Heaven 's eyes this is blasphemy, Lucifer points out that the rebellion ( and indeed all sin ) and damnation as consequence were pre-planned by his Creator, God. Lucifer rejects God 's rule and moral philosophy as tyrannical and unjust. The violent, aggressive, totalitarian, vengeful, and dictatorial aspects of Heaven 's rule are represented mostly by the Angel, Amenadiel, who has a particular hatred of Lucifer and leads attacks of various kinds against him. The attacks include verbal criticism, marshaling the host of Heaven, as well as challenging him to individual combat -- almost all of it without the slightest care for the countless innocent, unwilling and unwitting victims he is more than willing to sacrifice for his own pride. For his part, Lucifer disdains Amenadiel, treating the latter 's emotional outbursts with contempt, and repeatedly defeats Amenadiel 's assaults with well - orchestrated, hidden plans. Ironically, however, it is often difficult to discern when Lucifer acts as a slave to predestination and when he effectively acts according to his own free will. Elaborate codes of conduct and schemes of entrapment based on these codes are vital elements of the DC / Vertigo magical universe. Lucifer appears as a master of these arts. In an encounter during the first Sandman story arc ( around issue # 5 ) a weakened Dream outsmarts Lucifer. Lucifer first swears revenge on Dream, but later comes to accept Dream 's critique of his role and project as Lord of Hell. This inspires Lucifer 's abdication, a vital element of the Sandman saga, and the point of departure for the Lucifer series. For Lucifer, his word is his bond. As David Easterman, a character who sees himself as a victim of Lucifer, puts it : When the Devil wants you to do something, he does n't lie at all. He tells you the exact, literal truth. And he lets you find your own way to Hell. Despite his theological title as the `` Lord of Lies '', the refusal to lie is central to the moral position of the character - he sees himself as a neutral or amoral facilitator of forces within individuals, and Lucifer actively and effectively combats what he regards as corrupting moral codes. While he avoids lying, his morality seldom extends to compassion, and Lucifer regards the sacrifice of millions of souls as unimportant collateral damage ; there are few, if any, beings he respects and even fewer for whom he cares. As the series opened in 2000, Lucifer 's `` restful '' retirement was disturbed by a series of associates from his past. After various catalytic events, he endeavored to create a universe in competition with ( and presumably against the wishes of ) his father, Yahweh. This puts him on a collision course with several powerful mystical entities that have a vested interest in the new creation and draws the angelic host into the fray - including his brother, the archangel Michael Demiurgos, and his niece, Elaine Belloc. The series paralleled The Sandman in several ways, with epic fantasy stories being told in arcs separated by one - shot episodes depicting a smaller, more personal tale. Unlike The Sandman, the series has had a consistent art team in Peter Gross and Ryan Kelly, with most of the odd issues illustrated by Dean Ormston. The title 's 50th issue was penciled by P. Craig Russell, a homage to The Sandman # 50. Structurally, the series mostly follows its own path. Numerous gods appear, with greater focus on Judeo - Christian religion ( as viewed by Milton in Paradise Lost ), Japanese, and Nordic mythology than in Sandman. As for the Endless themselves, Dream, Death, Delirium, and Destiny appear, but their appearances are small and rare. Destiny, perhaps, plays the biggest role in so far as he represents predestination, which Lucifer of course finds `` offensive as a concept, '' stating that Lucifer knows Destiny is `` really just a SIDE effect of ( Lucifer 's ) FATHER, or rather, his deterministic APPROACH to the act of creation. '' Cover artists included Duncan Fegredo, Christopher Moeller, and Mike Kaluta. The letters are inconsistent, with the first half of the series carrying particularly established fonts of Gaudium, Michael, and God, only to drop almost all of them, save Lucifer 's, towards the end with numerous changes in the letterers. The series ended in June 2006 with issue # 75 and has thus far been collected in eleven books, with a stand - alone story ( Lucifer : Nirvana ) published as a smaller graphic novel. The series ' parent title, The Sandman, also ran for 75 issues. When Lucifer ventures outside Creation, he sees something resembling the comics pages themselves. In the end of the Lucifer story arc, God and the devil are no longer part of the universe, and a former human ( Elaine Belloc ) is instead presiding over it. New concepts for Heaven and Hell are created, inspired and influenced by other human or superhuman characters in the story. The new situation is described on several occasions by the fallen cherubs Gaudium and Spera. In essence, it is `` growing up '', i.e., the need to find one 's own truth and values without being directed by parents, elders, teachers, authority figures, etc. Lucifer himself, his whole identity having been forged by that same motive, scoffs at his Father 's final offer : to merge their beings ( described by God as a potlatch ) so that they can finally understand one another 's perspective. As this would be the final expression of God 's will ( even when delivered from `` outside the plan '', as he puts it ), Lucifer finds the ultimate expression of his own defiant will by refusing the bargain and travelling beyond his Father 's influence, into the undefined void. The new 52 The New 52 reinterpretation of Lucifer is much more influenced by traditional Christian theology. He is depicted as a malevolent, sadistic, and cunning fallen angel who is the ruler of Hell and seeks to possess human souls. He is held with great respect and fear by the denizens of Hell, who serve and obey him like a king. Lucifer himself however is mostly bored with his existence when the group known as the Demon Knights are captured by him during the early Middle Ages, and passes the time by finding small amusements, such as watching the struggles and falls of Etrigan the Demon. Lucifer made a more physical appearance in I... Vampire # 19 after being tipped by John Constantine in destroying Cain. Lucifer immediately sentences Cain and drags him to Hell. Though a being claiming to be him has appeared in the Modern Age of DC to the superhero Deadman, the current whereabouts and status of Lucifer remain unknown. Volume 2 ( 2015 -- ) As this series begins, God is dead, and Gabriel has accused Lucifer of His murder. Lucifer had motive and opportunity but claims he can prove his innocence. If Gabriel finds the killer and takes the culprit into custody, his sins will be forgotten, and he will be welcomed back into Silver City. Despite the fact that Lucifer has just opened a nightclub on Earth and is hiding a mysterious wound, the two brothers set off to solve their Father 's murder. Powers and abilities Lucifer is continuously described as a celestial being of incalculable power due to his dominion over the very substance and knowledge of the formation of Creation. He has been cited as one of the most powerful characters not only in the DC Multiverse, but also in fiction. He is one of a few characters ( the others being infinite - dimensional beings like Cosmic Armor Superman, Pralaya, Swamp Thing, the Monitors, Mandrakk the Dark Monitor, his brother Michael Demiurgos, the Presence, the Great Evil Beast and the Source ) to be capable of fully comprehending the Primal Monitor / Monitor - Mind the Overvoid, better known as the canvas paper of the DC franchise, which views the entirety of the franchise as meaningless fiction. Through this understanding, Lucifer can shape the matter and foundation of Creation into anything he can imagine, including matter, energy, and more abstract concepts such as time. However, he does have certain limitations as he is still a creation of God ; chiefly, he can not create something out of nothing, unlike his Creator or brother. In some ways, this makes him the most disadvantaged, though not the weakest, of the higher angelic host. He needs existing matter ( and where that is unavailable, the Demiurgic power of the Archangel Michael or that of God Himself ) to provide the foundation for him to shape. Only his brother, the Archangel Michael Demiurgos, is his equal in power, and only God, his Creator and Father, is his superior. However, in certain dimensions for reasons unknown, he is powerless and his mobility is limited without his wings. He may choose to temporarily abandon his powers, including his immortality. In the story titled `` Lilith '', it is logically implied that God could destroy him at His own whim, which makes Lucifer sometimes wonder why He has not dealt with him already. He is so dangerous and unpredictable that even Death does not apply to him. He is never without the formidable resources of his brilliant, nigh - omniscient intellect and his unbending will or inner strength, which allowed him to defy and confront his Father as well as many other formidable opponents without fear or doubt. Although Lucifer 's overt exercise of power is limited in the books, if he is provoked to violence, his preference seems to be to use fire and light as a weapon. His original role was as `` God 's lamplighter '', in which he used his will to condense clouds of hydrogen into star - masses and set them alight. As terrifying as they are brief, battles with Lucifer usually begin and end with him drawing down the flames of a super-heated main sequence star and incinerating to ash anything in the immediate area. However, the true reasons why he favors light and fire are partially explained in the story `` Lilith '' ( from The Wolf Beneath the Tree ). Beyond his demigodly powers as an archangel, Lucifer possesses the common powers appropriate to an archangel of his position ; incalculable physical strength, invulnerability, flight, acidic blood ( or, rather, he bleeds willpower, as depicted in when he reaches Yggdrasil in The Wolf Beneath the Tree ), a devastating sonic cry, telepathy, and the power to speak to and understand animals. As an archangel, his powers are significantly superior to other angels and puts him well above such superpowered beings as Superman or the Spectre. This puts him even over the mighty Cosmic Armor Superman, an infinite - dimensional literal plot device designed to stop Mandrakk / Monitor Dax Novu, who was capable of destroying the DC Multiverse with his ever - increasing power that was so potent it was extending into the realms of other fictional multiverses. In the New 52 reboot, Lucifer is shown to possess power over the human soul itself. However, he has no power over animal souls. He can open and close magical portals to Earth from Hell and back again. He can use this power to either summon or banish demons, as he does with Etrigan. He is clairvoyant, possessing a heightened perception or knowledge of time, even to the extent of being able to know the future. Other versions The Unofficial Guide to the DC Universe lists Lucifer as first having appeared in a dream in Superman 's Pal Jimmy Olsen # 65 ( 1962 ). He appears when Jimmy Olsen attempts to memorize a devil 's food cake recipe with his alleged photographic memory and dreams that he is in France 300 years in the past. Putting on the clothing of a bandit who has ditched them, Jimmy is arrested and sent to rot in the Devil 's Island penal colony. A bald man known as Lord L offers five years of freedom for people to escape in exchange for their souls. Convinced that the magic the man uses is technological in nature, assuming him to be an ancestor of Lex Luthor, he asks to be returned to from where he came, believing Lord L will be long dead by then and unable to claim him. Lord L shows up at his front door, still bald but now with a goatee, and insists that he is Lucifer and has given him over 300 years extra, but will dine with him before taking him, but disappears when Jimmy serves him cake. Superman wakes Jimmy soon after and reveals that the card he memorized was really for angel food cake, and this is why Lucifer disappeared. In Weird Mystery Tales # 4 ( Jan -- Feb 1973 ), a story by Jack Oleck and Ruben Yandoc depicts Lucifer, looking much like his present incarnation, save for a few panels in which he appeared as a more traditional devil, held prisoner by an order of monks. It also presents a prisoner switch trick not unlike the one performed in The Sandman : Season of Mists, in addition to being hosted by Destiny, another character later used by Gaiman. In the story, Lucifer gave Philip Burton his form in order to trade places with him and fulfill his wish for immortality. Lucifer walked away in the body of the elderly Burton. A character called Lucifer, the Fallen Angel appears in Blue Devil # 31 ( the final issue ). He has angelic wings and a halo, and his face includes dark facial hair. He does not have horns. Madame Xanadu recognizes that even with a magic book, he is not the real Lucifer. He is simply a washed - up actor who decides to be a costumed criminal for a living. He is dragged into Hell on a train at the end of the issue. The Unofficial Guide to the DC Universe lists Lucifer 's first genuine pre-Crisis appearance as DC Special Series # 8. This character has hair and wings like Lucifer as he appears in Sandman # 4, but he is red - skinned and has a face like a traditional devil, complete with goatee, though his horns may be part of a headband. His appearance in the comic is brief, but he is specifically referred to as `` Lucifer, '' rather than by other epithets. He has an advisory board consisting of Guy Fawkes, Benedict Arnold, Adolf Hitler, Jack the Ripper, Nero and Bluebeard. He has an operative, Edward Dirkes, set bombs, while using a bronze Batman statue transported by the Easy Company like a voodoo doll. Writer Garth Ennis introduced a character intended to be the devil as an antagonist in his run on the Hellblazer comic, however, as the character appeared at the same time as Gaiman 's reuse of the Lucifer character, Ennis had to introduce a new back story for his character to distinguish the two. The Hellblazer character was named the First of the Fallen and was ruler of Hell prior to and after Lucifer 's reign. How this fits in with the reigns of the angels and Christopher Rudd has not been clarified, although the First of the Fallen mentions Duma and Remiel ruling Hell during Ennis ' run. In the Hellblazer film adaption, Constantine, however, Lucifer, portrayed by Peter Stormare, is an antagonist. Satan has appeared as a distinct figure in numerous DC Comics. In one of Vertigo 's Fables spinoffs, Jack of Fables, the title character made various ( unwise ) pacts with several devils. One of them is heavily inspired by Milton 's Paradise Lost. In other media Film Lucifer appeared in the 2005 film Constantine portrayed by Peter Stormare. This version of Lucifer wears a pure white suit and has tattoos visible at the sleeves and neckline, implying a full body design, while constantly dripping a black oil from his feet that leaves footprints. John Constantine summons him by slitting his wrists, suicide being a sin, in order to convince Lucifer to stop the Archangel Gabriel and Lucifer 's own son Mammon from bringing humanity to its knees with the Spear of Destiny. Lucifer appears, stopping time in the process. Lucifer admonishes Constantine 's amateurish suicide attempt by noting how the exorcist can no longer move his fingers properly from cutting too deep. Constantine asserts that Mammon is trying to usurp Lucifer 's revenge against God for Mammon 's own glory, which finally brings Lucifer 's attention to the angel Gabriel. Lucifer reestablishes time, quickly grabbing the woman Mammon possessed, Angela Dodson, and confronting Gabriel. Though Gabriel tries to smite Lucifer with God 's power, the demon remains unaffected as God has abandoned Gabriel, allowing Lucifer to both banish Mammon back to Hell and destroy Gabriel 's wings. After this, Lucifer returns to Constantine, who had offered his own soul in exchange for Isabel 's ( Angela 's sister who had committed suicide ) so that she could be released to Heaven. Seeing it as fair, Lucifer grabs Constantine, but God declares it a selfless sacrifice. Constantine, dying from the slit wrists and suffering from lung cancer, is slowly drawn into a heavenly column of golden light. Furious at his revenge being denied yet again, Lucifer resurrects Constantine by reaching into his chest and pulling the cancer out, thereby giving Constantine the chance to prove his soul belongs in Hell after all. Television Main article : Lucifer ( TV series ) DC and Fox have developed a TV series based on the Sandman character Lucifer. In February 2015, Fox ordered the pilot. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the series will focus on Lucifer, `` who is bored and unhappy as the Lord of Hell and resigns his throne and abandons his kingdom for the beauty of Los Angeles, where he gets his kicks helping the LAPD punish criminals. '' Californication creator Tom Kapinos penned the script, and served as executive producer for the pilot ; Len Wiseman directed. Jerry Bruckheimer and Jonathan Littman also served as executive producers. Jerry Bruckheimer Television 's KristAnne Reed was on board as a co-executive producer. It was announced that Tom Ellis would portray the main character in the series. In March 2015, Lauren German was cast as the female lead on the series, described as an LAPD homicide detective who is `` repulsed and fascinated '' by Lucifer as they work together to solve a murder. Fox officially picked up the series on May 8 and premiered the series on Monday January 25, 2016. In Smallville, Lucifer was one of the aliases used by Darkseid through history. Darkseid is also shown to corrupt people using the Seven Deadly Sins ( associated with Lucifer / Satan and the demons of Hell ) Darkseid 's minions offered the faithful worshipers Rapture from the oncoming apocalypse as opposed to salvation ( as the Book of Revelation promises to the worshipers of God ). However, a savior from the heavens, referred to as the light, defeated the demonic being and drove back the darkness, stopping the rapture and preventing the end of the world.

Question: in the show lucifer who is his father
Answer: Yahweh
