   formerly a fiery domain styled like Hell/Hades/Hel

First Appearance: Venus#10/1 (July, 1950)

Powers/Abilities: The Son of Satan relies on small demon-like imps at his absolute command to sow widespread destruction, which he revels in. He is human in appearance but also has thick horns at his temple and a long thin tail that displays no prehensile abilities. He is virtually indestructible, being able to survive in space. He can apparently stand and travel on clouds, yet also has the power of flight up to supersonic to escape the Earth's atmosphere. As the son of Frost Giant, he can lift up to 50 tons and the Giants' durability and longevity. The Son of Satan has minimal powers of disguise by altering his apparel into contemporary clothing. He is bound to his father's Hell-like domain by his father's will, released to Earth only if a plan is suggested that pleases the father. He manifests in billowing smoke that reek of sulfur, and can teleport outside of his father's domain. However, he can renounce his powers at will. He has been trained in black magic rites by his father Loki, and claims power over "night and fear" (but these are undefined).

Height: 6'3"
Weight: 520 lbs. (variable)

History:

(Venus#10/1 (fb) - BTS) - Son of Asgardian god Loki, the self-proclaimed Son of Satan desired the goddess Venus/Aphrodite for centuries. Over that time (and probably earlier), he also engaged in various nefarious plots and dire activities on humankind, which his father Loki (masquerading in a form of Satan) delighted in.

(Venus#10/1) - As the Son of Satan, he was banned from visiting Olympus to woo Venus, but she had since taken residence on Earth (and fallen in love with the human Whitney Hammond). Becoming aware of her new home, the Son of Satan gained his father's permission to visit Earth to force her into becoming his bride, or else he would spread destruction. Satan was pleased with the idea of fomenting terror and sent his son to Earth's surface, where he appeared outside Venus' workplace (where she worked in a human identity). He manifested in smoke and sulfur but with a debonair suit on; recognizing him and the danger he presented, Venus pretended he was a friend called Mr. Satin, and quickly escorted him outside and into space to keep their mutual godhood a secret. He declared his love for her, but she dismissed him, that the opposites of good and evil were not fated to be together. Rebuffed, he threatened havoc upon humans she loved using imps to spread floods, earthquakes, typhoons and other catastrophes. She again refused and he unleashed the imps that immediately brought weather-born disaster to humans across vast areas and cities. Venus countered the destruction where she could, calling on her fellow god Apollo's help. The Son of Satan drove the fierce storms eastward across the USA to New York, riding a typhoon directly at the office of Hammond (and Venus' human rival Della Mason). Seeking to save her true love Hammond, Venus tricked the Son of Satan by claiming to listen further to his proposal. The villain stopped the storm. Venus asked the Son of Satan to prove his love by renouncing his demonic powers for a day, which he readily but naively did. Venus called upon Apollo to send a fiery disc that imprisoned him and would spin forever around the Earth. The Son of Satan threatened wrath before he was lost to sight.

Comments: Creators not credited.

The Son of Satan stated he had loved Venus "for centuries", so I've placed him as at least 400 years old, but he's likely meant to be much older.

Venus calls him Satan several times. Make of that what you will.

Many opportunities and explanations for an escape, but he's been banished to obscurity...

So who might his unrevealed mother have been? A demon? A witch? Or is he actually a diminutive full-blood Jotunheim Giant who Loki removed to save the boy from the Giant's ridicule and cruel treatment?

Special thanks to Markus for noting his entry in the Thor: Asgard's Avenger handbook.

In Marvel Comics, numerous characters have claimed to be the biblical Satan, and it is difficult to distinguish which is which. In addition, other sources have claimed that the various major demons (Baphomet, Mephisto, Satannish, Thog, [Loki (in this case)], etc.) are a manifestation of Satan.. Lots of demons have claimed to be Satan.--Snood
