Satan is the supreme demon lord on Earth-S. He was a behind-the-scenes enemy to Captain Marvel during the first years of the hero's career, while having several direct confrontations with Ibis the Invincible later in his.
History
In the beginning of the 20th Century, Satan marked three boys with black swastikas: they were Hitler, Göring and Goebbels.[1]. Under the name Prince Lucifer he granted powers to Ibac[2] and Sabbac.
In the seventies, Satan revealed his presence more explicitly, when he demanded the soul of Ebenezer Batson, Billy Batson's uncle; Ebenezer had made a pact with the demon to gain a vast fortune in 1951. When the Marvel and Sivana Families were stranded in Suspendium, Ebenezer was also stranded with them, for 20 years. Once free, Ebenezer could not enjoy the fortune very long, as the pact deadline had run over. Captain Marvel accepted a challenge the Satan's six champions to free the soul of his uncle, and was successful.[3]
When Kid Eternity joined to the Marvel Family, Satan saw this as a problem and organized the Confederation of Hell (Ibac, Sabbac, Master Man and Darkling) to fight them.[4]
