In anticipation of Lucifer Season 2 which is set to air on September 19, we at Skatronixxx thought what better way to be prepared for Season 2, than by looking at a breakdown of the character’s, including the two new characters that were announced last week, Charlotte (Lucifer’s Mom) and Ella Lopez (forensics) who we will be seeing a lot of Season 2.

Lucifer Morningstar: The Lord of Hell
Played by Tom Ellis, Lucifer (formerly known as Samael) bored with his life and abdicates his throne and becomes a consultant for the L.A.P.D whilst running his night club Lux. Lucifer has many powers including a supernatural awareness of any person’s hidden desires and can compel them to speak the truth. Lucifer enjoy’s using theses abilities to expose sinners in public, when he Lucifer speaks of his identity, but he is never believed and it gets brushed off.
Powers and Abilities:
- High-Tier Angelic Physiology – As an angle, Lucifer is very powerful. Considering the fact that Lucifer is one of the strongest angels, his powers far outclass that of Amenadiel or Uriel, and is on par with Michael (when he possesses his wings). Without his wings, Lucifer’s powers are seemingly greatly reduced.
- Supernatural Strength – Lucifer is capable of displaying superhuman physical strength, notably able to send a large man flying 30 feet through a glass wall with a mere push. Being an upper tier angel he is able to easily overpower angels like Amenadiel even after Lucifer lost his wings.
- Supernatural Stamina – Lucifer often proclaims to have tremendous stamina.
- Supernatural Durability – Lucifer is able to take immense amounts of physical damage, yet he doesn’t suffer any injuries or pain.
- Supernatural Reflexes – Lucifer possesses great reflexes, as we have seen time and time again. Especially when he caught a knife Maze had thrown at him.
- Desire Exhibition – Lucifer’s mere presence lowers the inhibitions of everyone around him, inducing them to reveal their true nature, their darkest secrets and desires. This allows him to make Faustian deals with various people in exchange for favors.
- Temptation Inducement – Lucifer, being highly sexual, can easily make himself carnally irresistible to most human women and sometimes men, which he uses to his advantage. However there is a select few, including Chloe Decker who seem to be resistant to his power.
- Telekinesis – Lucifer is able to levitate and spin a coin using his mind.
- Chronokinesis – Lucifer is able to remain active when time is slowed down, this usually happens when Amenadiel would visit Earth.
- Shape-shifting – Lucifer is capable of altering his true angelic appearance, making himself look either a dashingly handsome young human male, or a fearsome demon with red skin and blazing red eyes. He can also just alter the color of his eyes, and make only a select few people see his demonic form (while others still see him as a handsome human male). We assume Amenadiel sees Lucifer’s true angelic appearance even when Lucifer is in human form.
- Teleportation – Lucifer was able to appear in a house, right after Chole had locked him inside her car.
- Immortality – (This is only so, if Chole Decker is not near him). As an angel, Lucifer cannot be killed, however his Immortality is temporarily affected if he is in the vicinity of Chloe Decker. To test his theory, Lucifer tried to cut himself with a knife in the presence of Maze, but was shown to be invulnerable, However when he tried the same test in the presence of Chloe with the same knife, he bled, revealing his immortality and protections are greatly lowered in Chloe’s presence.
- Night-Omniscience – Lucifer possesses an infinite amount of knowledge, and is remarkably well spoken and sophisticated, as a result. However, he notably has a poor understanding of human children, due to his general dislike of them.
Former Powers:
- Flight – As Samael, Lucifer was once capable of utilizing his immense, angelic wings for flight. After leaving Hell, he had Mazikeen cut them off, he later burned them to prevent them from ever being reattached or stolen again.
Weakness:
- Chloe Decker – The reason why is currently unknown at this stage, she is insensitive to Lucifer’s power and charm and she is able to render him powerless and defenseless against all means of harming.
- Demonic Blades Forged in Hell – While its is most likely not possible to kill him with demon weapons, Lucifer did confirm that they “prick”.
- Angels – Amenadiel was able to physically harm Lucifer even though he was far out of reach of Chloe. However, considering Lucifer’s evaluated position in the angelic hierarchy, normal angels like Amenadiel can hurt Lucifer to a limited or very limited extent. Its possible if Lucifer still had his wings, Amenadiel and the other regular angels wouldn’t be able to harm him at all.

- Mystical Immunity – Chloe is somehow immune to Lucifer’s powers of coercion when used towards her, much to his surprise. She is still affected by Lucifer’s other powers, such as Chronokinesis.

I am genuinely considering watching this now. TV shows come and go with little to no worthwhile information to catch my interest, so this is helpful.
Just a quick note though, Angel is spelled G-E-L instead of G-L-E. It is not my intention to nitpick, just a minor suggestion.
Well done overall.
