Board 8 > Save My Satan

(+) Yeah! (+)

Had this idea in the shower and suddenly felt the need to see it through. Unlike pitting a bunch of different characters against each other, we're gonna pit the same character, one of the most-portrayed characters in all of fiction, against every version of himself.

I'm looking to get a total of 50 versions of the devil for this Save My. To be clear, I'm not looking for just any demon, just different portrayals of Satan/Lucifer/etc. That guy, specifically, so no Hades or Hel or whoever else.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/3/2/2/AAS3NhAADuHa.jpg

Now that being said, ANY version of him is eligible. TV, comics, movies, music, and whatever else you can come up with. If you're unsure, feel free to ask. I'm open to some interpretation in vague cases as long as it's not obviously an outright different character.

For now, I'll say ten nominations per person, with 3 nominations guaranteeing a spot in the contest.

In addition, each person gets one triple nomination. This will instantly guarantee a spot in the 50 entrants, but one character can't get more than one triple nomination (because why would they, this isn't seeded or anything)

Anyway, nominate away, and if this goes well, who knows, maybe we'll see another one in the future for another many-times-portrayed character like Death or something

Lucifer Morningstar (Lucifer)
Lucifer (Supernatural)
Lucifer Morningstar (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina)
Memnoch (Memnoch the Devil/The Vampire Chronicles)

Oh yeah, BTW, to triple a nomination either bold it or just specify with the nomination

Satan (Cuphead) (Triple Nom)
Robot Devil (Futurama)
Black Phillip (The VVitch)

Mr Satan (Dragon Ball Z)

Mr Satan (Dragon Ball Z)

triple Mr Satan

Satan (Old Harry's Game)

OK Mr Satan is kind of a stretch

For the poll: Other - The Morning Star

For the contest, feel bad since I wont participate so just a single nom and if it doesnt qualify then probably for the best:

Lucifer (The Prophecy)

It's a deep cut but Viggo Mortensen is just so good for how briefly he's there.

triple Mr Satan

Yeah I think I'm gonna have to disqualify Mr. Satan on the grounds that he's, y'know, not Satan

if @Lopen and @LiquidOshawott would like to re-nominate you can

also, use this for reference if anyone's struggling to think of things, but I'm sure it's not comprehensive

Fine

Triple for

The Devil - The Devil Went Down To Georgia (Song)

Devil (Tekken 2)
Beelzeboss (Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny)
Leland Gaunt (Needful Things)
Lou (Guitar Hero 3)
Black Phillip (The VVitch)
Chernabog (Fantasia)
Dark Heart (Care Bears Movie II: A New Generation)
Satan (Dante's Inferno)
Lucifer Morningstar (The Sandman 2022)

also, for Lucifer Morningstar, the DC character, does anyone who knows more about him than me want to weigh in if the comic character should count seperately from the one from the show Lucifer? I haven't seen the show and don't know if it's basically the same or different

nominated The Sandman one separately because I feel like it's a pretty significantly different portrayal than the more well-known Arrowverse version

Strongly request Mr. Satan bonus match vs tournament winner.

Dabura (Dragonball Z)
The Devil (The Devil Went Down To Georgia)
The Devil, y'know, from The Bible (SnapCube's Real Time Fandub of Shadow the Hedgehog)
Satan/The Devil (Cuphead)
Mr. Applegate (Damn Yankees)
Darkness (Legend)

I can accept that

also @Kamekguy about to post an update but Went Down to Georgia and Cuphead are both safe if you wanted to use your nominations elsewhere

Honestly they're way different. I'm for splitting them personally. I just nominated them together because I wasn't sure what you wanted to do.

Lucifer (Supernatural)
Lucifer/Samael (Sandman)
Lucifer Morningstar (Lucifer)
Satan (Reaper)
Lucifer (Fallen)

alright so I think what I'll do then is split it up as

Lucifer Morningstar (The Sandman 2022)
Lucifer Morningstar (Lucifer/Arrowverse)
Lucifer Morningstar (DC Comics)

that seem fair? they'll all probably end up making the contest anyway given how popular the character is

Imo Mr Satan is as much "The Devil" as Dark Heart or Devil from Tekken or whatever. (none of them are)

I mean it's your contest but I don't think it's necessarily a good thing to take things too seriously. Obviously Mr Satan is not "the devil" but I would enjoy seeing him in the field in a Save My Satan so I gave it a shot.

Anyway I'll have to think about nominations-- this field is pretty limited in interest to me because most demonic characters I like aren't specifically "The Devil." For instance I love Supernatural but Lucifer on that show was a drag for me. Crowley on the other hand, great character.

Diablo (Diablo)

I'll think of some others later.

all I'll ask at that point is that @Snake5555555555 and @Dancedreamer just specify which ones you're nominating (Dance I assume is nominating from the show Lucifer and from the comics, not from the 2022 show, but correct me if I'm wrong)

Lucifer/The Devil (Sympathy for the Devil - The Rolling Stones) (One lyric says call him Lucifer)

Ned Flanders as the Devil (The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror)

Lucifer Morningstar (Lucifer/Arrowverse)
Lucifer Morningstar (DC Comics)

I'll drop The Devil from "...Georgia" because he's locked with 3 anyway.

I mean, I'm trying not to take things too seriously, but there's a difference between characters vaguely based on the devil and characters that are completely unrelated in any way beyond the name

like I love Mr. Satan but he's literally just a guy

Oh and:

Satan (South Park)

From the show Lucifer and from the Netflix show Sandman (2022).

Also the mini-series Fallen in case that needs to be clear. Played by Bryan Cranston.

Satan (South Park)

already safe!

and for the Lucifers, by my count that puts us at 3 for Arrowverse, 2 for Sandman, 1 for DC Comics but correct me if I'm wrong

Well you're objectively correct here yet I still disagree with your disqualification, for the record. But I'll just leave it at that and look forward to the bonus match.

lol that's fair. If we're really desperate to try to fill slots in a few days I'll consider it but the whole idea behind the contest is that there are just so many portrayals of Satan it's absurd

fun fact: the song that I was listening to in the shower that prompted the topic idea
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAc5j3JJ6T0

to that point, I guess I should nominate that version

@junk_funk South Park and Diablo are both safe

also I fully don't expect Dark Heart to make the contest but it still cracks me up to this day that there was a Care Bears villain based on the devil (specifically, the devil from Faust)

Beelz (Stephen Lynch - Beelz)
Lou (GH3)
Mephisto (Marvel)
Satan (Ghosts n Goblins)

I wanted to nominate something from the band Twin Temple but I didn't know how to phrase the nomination :(

Dark Prince/Satan (Puyo Puyo)
HIM (The Powerpuff Girls)
Robot Devil (Futurama)
Ned Flanders as the Devil (The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror)

The Lucifer TV show is not part of the Arrowverse. It crossed over during Crisis on Infinite Earths, but tons of things did, even the DCEU movie Flash.
