This podcast proudly contains far more information on Satana than any single one of her wiki or fan pages, so I'm pleased and excited to share it with the world.
On that note: some CW for sexual assault, violence against women, topics of heaven and hell, extreme personal loss, murder, attempted fratricide, sacrifice, satanic panic, classic horror tropes, general violence and lewdness, etc.
The special starts with a little necessary Background, including Horrosploitation, Dr. Fredric Wertham's 1954 Seduction of the Innocent, and the implementation of the Comics Code Authority. We then continue the timeline into the eventual relaxation of the code in 1971, and the ensuing horror trends of the 1960's-80's.
With that context in mind, we can begin talking Satana, starting with her (admittedly few) Key Comics: 0:16:44
Her various Aliases and names she's been called through the years, plus when it happened: 0:19:45
The Hellstrom Extended Family, which spread across multiple species and still holds a fair amount of mystery: 0:20:47
Satana's complete Teams and Teammates: 0:27:17
Her Allies, specifically those who are not teammates: 0:31:12
Love Interests, of course, which is surprisingly minor: 32:27
And then her Enemies, I'm sure fewer than you might expect: 0:33:21
Satana's Outfits/Physical Appearance, which has vastly changed through the years, and my breakdown of those changes: 0:37:34
Her half-demon Succubus Powers: 0:40:50
Alternate Reality/Format Versions of Satana: 0:42:38
And finally, her whole life and comic History: 0:45:22, including but not limited to the following categories: Early life; Turn for the Better, Turn for the Worst; the Basilisk; Death for Doctor Strange; Resurrection; Occultist for Hire, Thunderbolts/Dark Avengers; Between Time; All-New, All-Different Hell (and more Vegas, Baby!); and finally, her most recent appearances in Captain Marvel.
I wrap up this special with a finale I worked to put all of what I've learned and discovered into account, which I'm calling, simply, Satana's Duality: 1:08:20. It is my desire that listeners who get this far might be inspired to also care about the character of Satana, and we can see more of her in the comics, properly, again.
