So in the TVCU, Lucifer Morningstar was one of God's top angels in Heaven, until Lucifer refused to put man on a pedestal and rebelled against God. A massive war was fought, but in the end, Lucifer and his army were banished to a Hell dimension (there are many) where they were transformed into demons.
Hell became a realm where some evil men went when they died. They were to be punished for eternity or until they served their penance.
Besides ruling Hell and being a prison warden of sorts, Lucifer, now calling himself Satan, had an additional job given to him by God. You see, God gave men free will. But in order to be able to choose to be good, there has to be the alternative choice. And that was Satan's job. Satan had to corrupt souls and pull them to Hell. He could do so with simple temptations, double talk, and such. He also had the ability to give one their heart's desire in exchange for their soul. And he additionally would go around from time to time creating chaos and discord.
Not all who claim to be the Devil really is. Satan is very powerful, but not all powerful, and needs his demons to do his work as well. Sometimes they do work in his name, something he authorizes since his name carries weight. Demons also will haunt and possess, and sometimes just go on killing sprees. Not all demons are working for Satan though. Some manage to come to Earth on their own and work on their own behalf.
There are other beings who get confused for Satan, such as the First or the Source. This is because as I said before there are more than one Hell Dimension with it's own demons and rulers.
Sometimes Satan has children with humans, which are sometimes referred to as "Anti-Christ". His demons also have children with humans. This kind of cross breeding is what may have created vampires.
So now that I've said all that, on to the timeline. (I expect James will correct and/or add to this at some point with his own research.)
It should be noted finally that Satan can alter his appearance based on the situation or his mood. So his alternate appearances can be explained by that.
Ivan adds to these comments: There are so many contradictory Lucifers / Devils / Satans out there, I consider them to be associates of each other, even if they are also aspects of the same big bad. And of course I consider the Lovecraft Mythos to be the source of many of the 'Elder Gods' from the Buffyverse (Illyria, Glorificus, etc) and I always pictured the Senior Patners as Outer Gods (or at least one of them; Nyarlothotep).

circa 19 Billion Years Before Common Era--Hellblazer #42, 59, 83, Swamp Thing v2 #147, 167--God (aka YHWH/“The Presence”/“The Voice”) creates a companion for himself. After a dispute, that companion is cast down to the realm that will later be Hell, becoming known as “The First of the Fallen.” God replaces him by creating the angelic host.--Taken from http://dcu.smartmemes.com/DCTL_1_TL.html. Hellblazer is in Crossovers, and thus is in. Hellblazer's connection with Swamp Thing is too strong to not bring in one without the other.
Biblical Events--BOOKS OF MAGIC # 1 and LUCIFER # 26--The Presence creates Archangel Michael (who is set over chaos) & Samael (akaLucifer Morningstar) who help Him create first matter & first suns. After creating Michael, God creates rest of the Archangels: Uriel, who rules worlds; Raphael, who oversees humanity; Saraquael, set over spirits; Gabriel, lord of Cherubim & Seraphim; Raguel, vengeance of Lord, once thought to be original incarnation of Spectre. From http://www.cosmicteams.com/docs/pre20thcentury_1.html
c. 13.7 Billion Years BCE--Lucifer#26--The physical Universe explodes into being in the Big Bang. Its early form and substance are guided by God’s chief archangels, Michael and Lucifer.--Taken from http://dcu.smartmemes.com/DCTL_1_TL.html. Lucifer was a spin-off of Sandman, which is part of the TVCU, as is most of the Vertigo series dealing with the supernatural as they are so closely linked together. And since they are not Super-Hero Universe type comics, I would think that should drive the critics away.
Billions of year ago?--FANTASY ISLAND--"The Angel's Triangle"--Mr. Roarke meets and befriends Uriel, the Angel of Death. There are actually multiple angels of death serving God. Uriel is but one of them. Mr. Rourke also meets Lucifer.
Biblical Events--BOOKS OF MAGIC # 1 and SANDMAN # 23--Lucifer Morningstar, the Bringer of Light, begins to plan his insurrection against the Heavenly Host. From http://www.cosmicteams.com/docs/pre20thcentury_1.html
c. 13.7 Billion Years BCE--Books of Magic mini-series #1, Hellblazer #59, Lucifer #11. See also Milton’s Paradise Lost. --Rebellion in Heaven. Lucifer is cast into Hell.--Taken from http://dcu.smartmemes.com/DCTL_1_TL.html. Books of Magic is another series tied into the mystical world of Vertigo.
10 Billion Years Ago--SPECTRE # 60 and SANDMAN # 23--After joining Lucifer's failed rebellion, the angel Aztar (formerly Raguel) is given a choice. Rather than be cast down to hell, Aztar reluctantly agrees to relinquish all memory of his former existence to become the embodiment of God's wrath. Men will know him as the Spectre. NOTE: This is the Spectre's earliest chronological appearance; in print, it was More Fun #52 (1940). Note that the Spectre is already established to be in the TVCU per my Golden Age rule. Even though this tale was told in more recent years, when his stories aren't canon, there's no reason that flashback tales still can't be in. Taken from http://www.cosmicteams.com/docs/pre20thcentury_1.html
10 Billion Years Ago--SECRET ORIGINS # 10--An angel who refused to take a side in the war against Lucifer is stripped of his wings and his very name and identity. He is banished from the Silver City, forever to be known as the Brotherless One, or the Grey Walker. He is best renowned as the mysterious Phantom Stranger. From http://www.cosmicteams.com/docs/pre20thcentury_1.html
42,640 BC--LORD OF THE RINGS--James says: Morgoth is the name Satan used during the time of Middle Earth. (I know some have suggested that the Lovecraftian old ones are the spiritual figures in Tolkien's work, but it so badly violates the source that Tolkien's fiction make little sense. It's like trying to jam Lovecraft into Narnia, and say Aslan is Cthulhu--it doesn't work. Since the Hebrew/Christian God already exists in the WNU, it makes so much more sense to just allow Tolkien the context he intended.) For more information than you require, visit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wi
C. 8000 B.C.--Sandman # 4 and 9--Nada, a queen in Africa, falls in love with Morpheus, Lord of Dreams… but flees him in fear. Spurned and angry, he consigns her to Hell.--Taken from http://dcu.smartmemes.com/DCTL_1_TL.html
1279 B.C.--XENA WARRIOR PRINCESS--"Heart of Darkness"--In the episode "Heart of Darkness" from season 6 of Xena: Warrior Princess, Lucifer is seen as a fallen archangel, after Xena causes him to commit all seven deadly sins. After his transformation into Satan, she promptly shoves him into a portal to Hell, taking the place of former leader of Hell, Mephistopheles, whom Xena had killed. I know this entry makes no sense. Eventually, when I cover Xena in her own series, I will either make her a time traveler, or attribute her adventures to a series of reincarnations. Because honestly this would fit better perhaps around 52,000 BC.
14th century--DANTE'S INFERNO--James says: Satan shows up in Dante's Inferno, which is in via crossovers in Philip Jose Farmer's "The Monster on Hold" and "Down to Earth's Centre"; both of these are sequels to the Doc Savage novel Up From Earth's Centre. All of these (especially Dante and the Doc Savage novel) should probably go on your timeline. "The Monster on Hold" is on Win's WNU site, and "Down to Earth's Centre" is in Famerphile #12.
December 1476--DRACULA VS. KING ARTHUR--Lucifer sends Dracula back in time to battle King Arthur during the time of Camelot.
16th century--DR. FAUTUS--James says: I believe that Dr. Faust(us) is in the TVCU/WNU; if I'm not mistaken, that would place Marlowe's play on the timeline.
1656--DEMON # 0--Etrigan and Jason Blood meet with Lucifer in Hell. They agree to a scheme for the death of the pirate William Scumm, long overdue to go to Hell. From http://www.cosmicteams.com/docs/pre20thcentury_2.html
1660--Demon # 0--On the advice of Lucifer himself, Jason Blood (and thus Etrigan) travels to America seeking new fortunes..--Taken from http://dcu.smartmemes.com/DCTL_1_TL.html--The Demon is in via Crossovers. Though his 20th century history is different there's no reason that his pre-20th century history wouldn't be the same. See also http://www.marvunapp.com/A
1840s--THE MYSTERIOUS STRANGER--James says: Per Wikipedia, about Mark Twain's attempted novel The Mysterious Stranger: "The second substantial version Twain attempted to write is known as Schoolhouse Hill which involves the familiar characters of Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer and their adventures with Satan, referred to in this version as "No. 44, New Series 864962", and is set in America. Schoolhouse Hill is the shortest of the three versions."
1887--SHERLOCK HOLMES--James says: Here's an odd one: the screen treatment for Guy Richies' Sherlock Holmes, written by Lionel Wigram with art by John Watkiss. Normally I'd ignore such a thing, but the treatment has no events in common with the film, and reads marvelously as a prequel to the film. Essentially this breaks down as such: Lord Blackwood is trying to find an ancient ruby that will allow him to make a deal with Satan for military victory: of course, this deal must be sealed with the sacrifice of a virgin. Rasputin and Russian spies are also about, trying to gain the ruby. Eventually Holmes and Watson stop both groups, and hide the ruby in the Tower of London (perhaps with the royal gems). Lord Blackwood is arrested (or killed by Satan; but arrested works better for our purposes).
1930s--THE DEVIL RIDES OUT--James says: The Devil Rides Out by Dennis Wheatley, which was mentioned a ton of times in Crossovers. This is a famous novel, so I'm certain you can find a better summary than I can give elsewhere.
1941--DICK TRACY VS. CRIME INC.--Tracy takes on a criminal called the Ghost, and Lucifer himself appears.
1941--Birth of Daimon Hellstrom in Greentown, Massachusetts to "Satan" and Victoria Wingate. From http://www.reocities.com/jjnevins/wicks11.html. See also http://www.marvunapp.com/A
1943--PERELANDRA--James says: The last TVCU/WNU work I know that has an appearence by Satan is C. S. Lewis' Perelandra, where Professor Edward Rolles Weston spends the entire novel directly possessed by Satan.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wi
1944--Birth of Satana Hellstrom in Greentown, Massachusetts to "Satan" and Victoria Wingate. From http://www.reocities.com/jjnevins/wicks11.html. James adds: And Hellstorm's sister, Satana Hellstorm:http://www.marvunapp.com/A
1947--Victoria Hellstrom discovered the true identity of her husband. The fact that her husband was a demon named "Satan" drove her mad, and she died shortly afterwards. "Satan" placed his son Daimon in an orphanage, but took his daughter Satana with him to his dimension, where he schooled her on using her demonic powers. From http://www.reocities.com/jjnevins/wicks12.html
1956--BRAVE AND THE BOLD # 108--"The Night Batman Sold His Soul"--Batman and Sgt. Rock team up against a foe who Rock believes to be Hitler, while Batman thinks their foe is actually Lucifer.
1957--UP IN SMOKE--James says: One more devil crossover; in the Bowery Boys film Up in Smoke Sach sells his soul to the devil in exchange for race tips. Chaos ensues. (The Bowery Boys are in the TVCU/WNU through a crossover mention of Sherlock Holmes)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wi
January 1960--DANNY THOMAS SHOW--"That Ol' Devil Jack Benny"--The actual Devil also appears.
January 1971--MAKE ROOM FOR GRANDDADDY--"Of Mice and Mini"--The Devil once again encounters Danny Williams.
June 1976--DOCTOR STRANGE # 15 to 16--"Where There's Smoke..."--Returning home after saving a woman from a burning building, Strange is greeted warmly by Clea. However before he can explain the many events that have transpired they are interupted by a knock at the door. Answering it, Strange is greeted by a man named James Mandarin, who wishes to be Strange's deciple. When Strange refuses, Mandarin cuts his own throat.
After medically treating Mandarin, Strange attempts to find consultation with how to deal with the recration of Earth when he's attacked by demons, but summons them away. Rebuffing another of Mandarin's requests to become his deciple, Strange tells Clea of what happened following his encounter with Eternity. Very upset with the idea of being destroyed and recreated, Clea freaks out, and as Strange tries to calm her Mandarin appears again this time possessed by Satan who transports all three to his domain.
January 1978--TOMB OF DRACULA # 62 to 64--James tells me that Satan apparently appeared.
February to March 1979--SOAP--The Devil himself possesses Corinne Tate-Flotsky's baby.
February 11, 1980--THE MUPPET SHOW--The Devil appears.
October 1980--FANTASY ISLAND--"The Devil and Mandy Breem"--The Devil comes to Fantasy Island after a guest's soul, and also Mr. Rourke's soul.
October 1981--FANTASY ISLAND--"The Devil and Mr. Rourke"--The Devil returns again to Fantasy Island, claiming to be on vacation, but then uses staff member (and Mr. Roarke's niece) Julie as a pawn in another attempt at gaining Mr. Roarke's soul. I should mention that sometimes the devil that appears in various shows and movies is really just a soul collecting demon and not really Lucifer/Satan. However, I feel it's more likely due to the familial relationship and long standing adversarial rivalry, that this is Lucifer/Satan.
1987 to 1990--THE 13TH HOUR/FRIDAY THE 13TH: THE SERIES--Toby O'B says "Curious Goods used to be Vendredi Antiques, owned by Lewis Vendredi. He made a pact with the Devil to sell the accursed inventory which would spread the Devil's evil far and wide. But when he finally reneged on the deal and lost his soul, it was then up to his old friend Jack Marshak, Vendredi's niece Micki Foster, and her cousin Ryan Dallion to retrieve those items." Though the series seems to only be tied to the the movies in name only, in fact there was an intention that the hockey mask Jason wears has some connection to the antique store.
October 1987--THE CHARMINGS--"The Witch is of Van Oaks"--Eric and Snow Charming try to set up Snow's step-mother with a neighbor who turns out to be the devil.
December 1989--MACGUYVER--"Two Times Trouble"--Mac helps out a rock star friend whose sister is trying to kill him, and the Devil appears. Is he just part of the show?
Spring 1991--HELLBLAZER # 41 to 46--John Constantine discovers he’s stricken with terminal lung cancer—and executes a con on the Devil himself (“the First of the Fallen”) to regain his health. He also meets Kit Ryan, and they soon become lovers.--From http://dcu.smartmemes.com/DCTL_4_TL.html#Yr0
1991--BILL & TED'S BOGUS JOURNEY--Now firmly established in the TVCU, thanks to James. The duo die and go to Hell where they encounter the Devil.
1994 to 2003--TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL--In the TV series Touched by an Angel, Satan occasionally appeared in the guise of a human being. In each instance, he would manipulate individuals around him in an attempt to thwart the efforts of God (as being carried out by the angels Monica, Tess and Andrew). He was depicted in five episodes of the series. John Schneider, Todd Rulapaugh and Mandy Patinkin each portrayed the character in one episode, while David Ogden Stiers appeared as Satan in the two-episode series finale.
1995--Memnoch the Devil--Lucifer is portrayed as the fallen angel Memnoch in the Anne Rice novel Memnoch The Devil. Throughout the story, Memnoch's only crime is questioning God's methods of dealing with the souls of man, for which God has much patience initially. Finally, when Memnoch descends to Earth to lie with a woman, God casts Memnoch out of Heaven, albeit temporarily, so that Memnoch might teach the souls of Man how to gain access to the Kingdom of Heaven. This is a Lestat tale. Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches appear in a TALES OF THE SHADOWMEN story, mentioned in Crossovers. Anne Rice's witches, vampires, and mummies shared a reality as elements from one series would carry over into another. It should be mentioned that Buffy Summers has slain multiple vampires named Lestat, one of which may have been the real one. Also, Chuck Loridans believes that Lestat is a Dracula soul clone.
December 1995--UNHAPPILY EVER AFTER--"Hot Wheels"--The Devil appears.
September 1996 to February 1997--MARRIED WITH CHILDREN--"Damn Bundys"--Al Bundy makes a deal with the Devil to play in the NFL, but on the day of the Super Bowl, the Devil comes to collect Al's soul, and sentences him to an eternity of spending time only with his family and his neighbors, the D'Arcys.
1998 to 1999--FANTASY ISLAND--The island is still operational in this series revival, and I do consider it a revival, not a reboot. Now Mr. Roarke has gotten darker, and his appearance has changed. He is a being with supernatural powers, and this might explain things. Though Toby O'Brien has a different idea, which you can check out here, but that's too much speculation for me with not enough evidence to support it. It seems to me more likely that Mr. Roarke may have made some deal with some supernatural being for immortality, but the fine print said he'd be confined to Fantasy Island for life. In this new series, we learn a a little more about how the Island operates. People in need accidentally stumble upon a travel agency, which books trips to Fantasy Island. Then the files are sent directly from the city to the Island via a pneumatic tube, which isn't really physically possible, so it must be magic. How are people finding this travel agency? I believe it's God, or at least the folks that work for God, whether you call them angels or white lighters or the powers that be. Whatever. In fact, perhaps Mr. Roarke is actually dead, and is serving his own penance by running the Island. Perhaps, as Thom Holbrook conjectures here, all the staff from both the 70s/80s show and this one are all dead and serving their penance on the Island. Wow, pretty deep stuff. And is it possible that the travel agency is not always in the same place? That would explain how people from all over America...and the world book trips. Hey, what if Mr. Roarke was one of the angels that didn't take sides during Lucifer's rebellion, and thus this is his punishment? OK, now who's wildly speculating? But we do know that in the new series, it's been hinted that the island itself is the source of Mr. Roarke's powers, and that the longer one stays there, the more they also gain power. The staff, and Mr. Roarke's adopted daughter (raised on the island) also exhibit powers. There seems to be some hints this place is indeed some sort of Limbo dimension, with the staff all trapped there. There are parallels between the new series and Shakespeare's THE TEMPEST. One of the staff member's is named Ariel. She is a shape shifter who is much older than she appears, and apparently may have been romantically involved with Mr. Roarke some time in the past. Note that Harry and Cal are both staff members whose lives were saved by Mr. Roarke...or perhaps their souls were. It seems that Mr. Roarke rescued them both from death, but it's implied that they actually died, and living on the Island is a way of escaping Hell. Mr. Roarke seems to have the power to send them there should they disobey him.
June 1999--Gen 13: Netherwar--James says: Gen 13: Netherwar, a tie-in novel by Christopher Golden and Jeff Matiotte, throws the teenaged superheroes against a freshly opened hellmouth (yes, a Buffy crossover) under Las Vagas. Though he doesn't directly appear--probably--Satan is one of the primary villains in the story. In addition, a copy of De Vermis Mysteriis appears. Of course, the team leader John Lynch is actually a retried Nick Fury. I did a long series of posts linking Gen 13 to the WNU back in the WNF group. It may be worth reviewing those, even though they're pretty shoddily written. Rob says: At least this time it's not me bringing more super-heroes into the TVCU.
November 1999--NORM--"Norm and Shelley"--The Devil appears.
2000--SHAFT--Nephew of the original, he is one bad mother...anyways, Lucifer apparently appears. Note this date might not match what is in Crossovers but I don't have the book handy.
November 2000--SANDMAN # 23 to 28--"Seasons of Mists"--Lucifer abdicates the throne of Hell, leaving Morpheus the task of mediating among his self-appointed successors, until two
angels are appointed as neutral guardians of the infernal realm. Presumably for the purposes of the TVCU, he continued to operate in his other duties, and quickly took back his thrown.
2001--DRINKING MIDNIGHT WINE--James says: Simon R. Green's novel Drinking Midnight Wine has Satan as the main villain. Oddly, he lives inside the sun. Making this weirder, this novel is a spin-off from the Nightside novels, and in the Nightside series Satan is just the ruler of Hell. Presumabily the TVCU/WNU cosmology was fictionalized for this novel.
2001 to 2009--BONEYARD--James says: The "Satan" who shows up in the first volume of the Boneyard comic books passes himself off as "Mayor Wormwood," which is a crossover of sorts with C. S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters.
Problems with this? This demon really isn't as powerful as Satan should be, so it's clearly not him. And Wormwood died a terrible death at the hands of his Uncle Screwtape at the end of Lewis' novel, so it's clearly not him. For that matter, what being would pass themselves off under the name of a murdered demon?
I believe the one who murdered the demon in question might adopt the dead demon's name in an effort to protect himself against name based magic; and who better to steal the name of the murdered than the murderer himself, Screwtape (Senior Demon of the Lowerarchy of Hell). [This] would place both The Screwtape Letters and the first volume of Boneyard on the timeline (Boneyard is in through crossovers with Frankenstein, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, and Friday the 13th).
September 2004--HELLBLAZER # 189 to 193--After many months of travel and planning, John Constantine tries to stop “the beast unnamed by Adam” from manifesting on earth, but actually frees it into humanity’s collective unconscious… causing madness worldwide, until John’s friends narrowly defeat it. Note: The Phantom Stranger appears in #191 <2.04>, Lucifer and Tim Hunter in #192 <3.04>, and Swamp Thing in #192-93. From http://dcu.smartmemes.com/DCTL_5_TL.html#Yr11
2006--HELLRAISER: PROPHESY--In this fan film crossover, Lucifer blackmails a young woman into solving the Lament Configuration, in hope of bringing the Cenobites into the Second Angelic War.
2006--MACHETE--Lucas Cano, (Machete) an ex-bodyguard for the Mexican President, tired of his life style, retires to a remote small town in Mexico, in hope of finding peace. But things do not work out for him the way he wants them to. First, he must confront several drug dealers who smuggle illegal immigrants into the United States, forcing them to smuggle drugs. Then, Machete finds out that his old Vietnam friend, who now works for the CIA in Arizona, has been assigned to arrest Machete, and take him back to the US for some old charges. Machete's health is deteriorating rapidly. He is constantly bleeding internally, but he won't stop drinking and smoking. Panchito is a little boy Machete met in a street fight, and the little boy, claiming not to have any family, decides to hang out with Machete and tries to help him change his life style. Machete does not know that a higher power is watching out for him. Panchito is an angel sent by God to save his body and soul. Esperanza (Pelancho) meets Machete when one of the drug dealers (and immigrant smugglers) tries to rape her. Esperanza immediately feels a connection between them, but can't tell what it is. Machete gets the same feeling and starts to investigate who the girl is and where she come from. Esperanza's mother, convinced by the local priest to tell Esperanza the connection between her and Machete, confesses to her but it is too late. Machete has been shot by Ruidoso and is dying. The Devil is also involved.
2007 to 2009--REAPER--On his 21st birthday, Sam discovers his parents sold his soul to the devil before birth and he must now be a bounty hunter for the devil until he dies. Morley cigarettes appear in this series. Morley Cigarettes are found in REAPER, Beverly Hills 90210, BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, COLD CASE, CRIMINAL MINDS, ER, JAKE 2.0, KILLER INSTINCT, THE L WORD, MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE, MEDIUM, MILLENNIUM, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, NASH BRIDGES, NEW AMSTERDAM, PRISON BREAK, THE OUTER LIMITS (though only the stories that have the cigarettes are included), SPACE: ABOVE AND BEYOND, SPECIAL UNIT 2, SPY GAME, THAT 70S SHOW, THE TWILIGHT ZONE (same rule as OUTER LIMITS), and THE X-FILES.
October 2007--SUPERNATUAL--"Sin City"--In the series Supernatural, Lucifer is first discussed in the season 3 episode "Sin City". In the episode, a demon refers to him as the god of the demons, who made them what they are.
September 2008 to May 2009--SUPERNATURAL--Season 4 deals with the demons' attempts to break 66 seals which would allow Lucifer to walk the earth and unleash hell.
November 17, 2008--THE DAILY SHOW--The Devil appears.
December 2008--HELLBOY: THE WILD HUNT--James says: There is some question of if Hellboy is Satan's son. Correction on the Hellboy front, per tvtropes.org: "Satan is notably absent from the Hellboy universe, but he is finally mentioned in The Wild Hunt. It turns out he's been sleeping beneath the city of Pandemonium and Hellboy is destined to murder him and overthrow all his princes and generals. " Ivan adds: I tend to think of Hellboy as the son of Azazel, the same demon that spawned Nightcrawler. Yes, I hate making my favorite mutant into a demon... for the Marvel Universe, but for the WNU it makes more sense than to believe that such a mutation as his could occur randomly with no external source.
April 2009--MY NAME IS EARL--"Gospel"--Earl's efforts to help a reverend who is on his list multiple times drive the reverend back to his old life of crime, while Joy risks getting her third strike when she hits Catalina with a riding lawn mower. The Devil appears.
May 2009--SUPERNATURAL--"Lucifer Rising"--The season finale ends with the final seal being broken and Lucifer breaking through the ground.
2009--DRAG ME TO HELL--James says: Though it's thematically similar, I'm not sure if the recent film Drag Me to Hell has an appearence by Satan. It does however have a subtle link to the Evil Dead films (remember that this is a Sam Raimi film). Per IMDB: "When Clay Dalton mentions traveling to his parents' cabin that has trees and is private, this is a direct reference to the cabin used in The Evil Dead (1981) and Evil Dead II (1987)."
September 2009 to May 2010--SUPERNATURAL-- In Season 5, Lucifer is portrayed by Bellamy Young, Adrianne Palicki, andJared Padalecki, but primarily by Mark Pellegrino. Lucifer claims to have been cast out of heaven for defying God's wish to love mankind more than their Lord and attempts to earn sympathy from the audience. However; through the course of the show it is revealed that Lucifer's actions are merely out of spite for his Father and brothers, specifically his elder Michael. It is Lucifer's desire to eradicate mankind and eventually the demons too, allowing him to rule the earth according to his design.
July 2010--WAREHOUSE 13--Season Two; Episode One "Time Will Tell"
An anti-gravity home safety device is powered by Cavorite (from H.G. Wells' The
First Men in the Moon); a character uses a vest powered by a safer version of
"The New Accelerator."
This episode, however, introduces the idea that H.G. Wells didn't write any of
his novels, and that these "novels" (Actually true events) were all penned by
his sister. This can be discounted fairly simpily as nonsense, passed on by an
immortal.
Dante Alighieri's deathmask also appears. When used, the mask creates a
conflagration. This is evidence that Dante's Devine Comedy occurs
within the TVCU.
31st century--FUTURAMA--At this point, Lucifer has been replaced by a robot.
ALTERNATE REALITIES:
ADAM SANDLER UNIVERSE--Yes, this is actually a universe connected via crossovers. And in this reality, Lucifer is actually the father of Satan, Satan having been born at the same time as Christ. Satan has three children, one of whom is half-angel.
BONGO UNIVERSE--In this reality, Satan has a son named Damian, and sometimes surfaces to challenge Jesus to make him look bad. He rules Hell and has discovered he is a homosexual, having had a relationship with Saddam Hussein that ended badly. Hussein was emotionally abusive and Satan had to ask God to take him in Heaven in order to break up with him. Since then, Satan has found he needs some alone time. Satan of this reality seems to have a bit of the personality of a teenage girl, though he was once the feared being of legend. Incidentally, all deceased souls go to Hell in this reality, except for the Mormons.
CINEVERSE (and CINEMULTIVERSE)--I refuse to list all his film appearances that aren't in the TVCU. If you're curious, go to http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0027433/
DOCTOR WHO UNIVERSE--The two-part Doctor Who story "The Impossible Planet"/"The Satan Pit" features a version of the Devil referred to simply as "the Beast", who claims to have served as a subconscious basis for devil-like deities in religions throughout the universe. This depiction gives more emphasis on the monstrous appearance of the Devil, depicting him as a gargantuan, red skinned beast with horns and a skeletal face. The Torchwood episode "End of Days" features a gigantic demonic being named Abaddon, called the "Son of the Great Beast" (referring directly to the Doctor Whoepisodes stated above). Abaddon kills people by casting his shadow over them to absorb their life-energy, which is ultimately his downfall.
LOONIVERSE--Satan appears in the 1993 ANIMANIAKS episode "Hot, Bothered, and Bedeviled/Moon Over Minerva/Skullhead Boneyhands ". 1981--LOONEY, LOONEY, LOONEY BUGS BUNNY MOVIE--Bugs hosts an awards show for three films which are actually compilation clip shows. This movie also features King Arthur, Sir Osis of Liver, Sir Loin of Beef, Sam, Gerry the Idgit Dragon, Daffy, Sylvester, Tweety, Porky, Speedy Gonzales, Satan, the Treasury Director, Rocky, Mugsy, a judge, Clancy, O'Hara, cops, Pepe Le Pew, Clarence aka B.A. Bird, Granny, Big Bad Wolf, Three Little Bops, the singing narrator, the non-singing narrator, a lawyer, and an interviewing dog. Darkwing Duck also encounters the Devil. He again appears on Tiny Toons' Night Ghoulery. And on Pinky and the Brain. And Operation Bugs Bunny. And Aqua Unit Patrol Squad 1 (formerly Aqua Teen Hunger Force), which I've conceded thanks to Ivan's strong argument that the show belongs here.
ROBOT CHICKEN UNIVERSE--'nuff said.
SKITLANDIA--'nuff said.
TOOBWORLD-- Visit Toby's site for his take on the TV Devil.
TOONIVERSE--The Devil also exists in this realm in many forms and by many names.
ALTERNATE REALITIES:
ADAM SANDLER UNIVERSE--Yes, this is actually a universe connected via crossovers. And in this reality, Lucifer is actually the father of Satan, Satan having been born at the same time as Christ. Satan has three children, one of whom is half-angel.
BONGO UNIVERSE--In this reality, Satan has a son named Damian, and sometimes surfaces to challenge Jesus to make him look bad. He rules Hell and has discovered he is a homosexual, having had a relationship with Saddam Hussein that ended badly. Hussein was emotionally abusive and Satan had to ask God to take him in Heaven in order to break up with him. Since then, Satan has found he needs some alone time. Satan of this reality seems to have a bit of the personality of a teenage girl, though he was once the feared being of legend. Incidentally, all deceased souls go to Hell in this reality, except for the Mormons.
CINEVERSE (and CINEMULTIVERSE)--I refuse to list all his film appearances that aren't in the TVCU. If you're curious, go to http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0027433/
DOCTOR WHO UNIVERSE--The two-part Doctor Who story "The Impossible Planet"/"The Satan Pit" features a version of the Devil referred to simply as "the Beast", who claims to have served as a subconscious basis for devil-like deities in religions throughout the universe. This depiction gives more emphasis on the monstrous appearance of the Devil, depicting him as a gargantuan, red skinned beast with horns and a skeletal face. The Torchwood episode "End of Days" features a gigantic demonic being named Abaddon, called the "Son of the Great Beast" (referring directly to the Doctor Whoepisodes stated above). Abaddon kills people by casting his shadow over them to absorb their life-energy, which is ultimately his downfall.
LOONIVERSE--Satan appears in the 1993 ANIMANIAKS episode "Hot, Bothered, and Bedeviled/Moon Over Minerva/Skullhead Boneyhands ". 1981--LOONEY, LOONEY, LOONEY BUGS BUNNY MOVIE--Bugs hosts an awards show for three films which are actually compilation clip shows. This movie also features King Arthur, Sir Osis of Liver, Sir Loin of Beef, Sam, Gerry the Idgit Dragon, Daffy, Sylvester, Tweety, Porky, Speedy Gonzales, Satan, the Treasury Director, Rocky, Mugsy, a judge, Clancy, O'Hara, cops, Pepe Le Pew, Clarence aka B.A. Bird, Granny, Big Bad Wolf, Three Little Bops, the singing narrator, the non-singing narrator, a lawyer, and an interviewing dog. Darkwing Duck also encounters the Devil. He again appears on Tiny Toons' Night Ghoulery. And on Pinky and the Brain. And Operation Bugs Bunny. And Aqua Unit Patrol Squad 1 (formerly Aqua Teen Hunger Force), which I've conceded thanks to Ivan's strong argument that the show belongs here.
ROBOT CHICKEN UNIVERSE--'nuff said.
