I always considered them equal, but then again I haven't seen them fighting that much.
Note to self: Find and read the whole Lucifer series.
Lucifer Morningstar vs. Michael Demiurgos
"I always considered them equal, but then again I haven't seen them fighting that much.Same here
"may I point out that Lucifer is the one who killed Michael...but at the same time that Michael has (with confidence) threatened the life of Lucifer...so, does that really equate to equality?"As I Have Said Before... the DCU and Logic doesnt always go together... but from what has been stated... both of them are Equal...
"King Saturn said:I would say Lucifer wins based on feats alone and what we have seen in Comics..."aztek the lost said:well, okay, but from what you've seen of their powers (not what has been stated) do you have an opinion on which one would win in a fight (the one in the comics doesn't count cause they were both injured and one of them was holding back)""may I point out that Lucifer is the one who killed Michael...but at the same time that Michael has (with confidence) threatened the life of Lucifer...so, does that really equate to equality?"As I Have Said Before... the DCU and Logic doesnt always go together... but from what has been stated... both of them are Equal..."
"King Saturn said:True Indeed"I would say Lucifer wins based on feats alone and what we have seen in Comics... "awesome! that means we agree on whose the better of the brothers in a fight"
Personally from what i've seen and read, Michael. I mean isn't that the entire point, Lucifer is a more wily fighter, but Michael has all the power behind him. Though the Demiurgos confuses me somewhat. But based on my knowledge, i'll have to go with Michael.
"I thought they where equal both getting there power from god?"Thats What They Are Supposed To Be
Mike is more powerful than Lucifer, so in a DIRECT confrontation, like a battle, Mike wins easily (i.e., Mike drove Lucifer out of heaven without breaking a sweat). In an INDIRECTfeud, Lucifer wins through manipulation and strategy.
I don't take into account the battle they fought near the tree because Lucifer was possessed by Fenris, Michael was trying to free Lucifer from possession rather than trying to kill him, and both were severely weakened by their journey to the tree
Lucifer has the strongest "will"
I don't know how to convert those two but I'd say power is better in a battle and will/intelligence/cunning is better for scheming
when the two did clash, absent extraordinary circumstances like those surrounding their battle near the tree, Mike cast Lucifer down from heaven
" They are considered equal. They complete each other. Lucifer can't create something out of nothing, and Michael can't give shape to his creations. But, in Dream's words: ' Save his creator, he is, perhaps, the most powerful being there is" (on Lucifer).hmmm... I guess
"
" @m0ntyb0y: but in the comics Michael doesn't cast Lucifer down from Heaven...Lucifer walks out of Heaven by his own free will and Sandalphon defeats Michael...to me it seems like Michael is a few steps below Lucifer "its confusing in a sense... because the comics of Lucifer and Sandman draw concepts from the Bible... but the story is totally different within the comics compared to Biblical texts... but thats Good though
"In a straight up head to head battle then Michael is more powerful, Lucifer is smarter. "
@DaMainMan: yeah, in a straight-up head to head battle Michael would win
@aztek the lost: it was established more than once in the comic that beneath Yahweh, Michael has the greatest power while Lucifer has the strongest will
I think power trumps will in a battle
Lucifer's defining characteristic was the strength of his will, the Demiurgos would be meaningless if Lucifer was also more "powerful"
Michael impaled him through the chest and banished him from Heaven during the great battle." @Morpheus_: I'm aware of one(while Lucifer was possessed). What was the outcome of the other? "
In the battle you named, Lucifer killed Michael, even though both were weakened. (I know you are aware, I'm mentioning it for others who may not be as fortunate)
@Ziro said:" who create lucifer and michael ? and that i write wrong in post "
Seeing as you're apparently unfamiliar with Vertigo: The Presence = Abrahamic God = The supreme being in - and the creator of - the DC Universe." @thedarkgodzz: The Presence created them(of course). "
I will say Michael solely on the bases his a fit motherf@#%er.
And although I'm an Atheist, I still believe in Michael for the win.
It's like saying Batman will win against Superman. I'd never see Batman win without preparation.
Lucifer already killed Michael without preparation. Since we are going on the Vertigo versions of the characters. And despite the fact that they were both already weakened, Lucifer was also possessed, and as such, was using his powers far less competently than he would have, otherwise."

Point remains, that Lucifer does not require prep to pose a threat to Michael.

So, has Michael been seen ever since? Or is has he been completely gone?

Don't get me wrong. I think Lucifer and Michael are equal in nearly every level, so a battle between the two could go either way.
They are both capable of killing each other, but I believe Lucifer would gain the slight majority. And Lucifer has already survived a release of the Demiurge when he used it to create his new universe.
@Morpheus_: Remind me, how exactly did Lucifer come to rule over Hell? I remember in The Sandman Lucifer describes himself as being cast out of heaven and falling all the way to Hell. But in Lucifer, didn't Yahweh bring Lucifer to Hell and tell him that it was the farthest point from the Primum Mobile?
Also, Michael did not die naturally. His daughter absorbed the entirety of his power into herself, so he is not technically "dead". If you remember, Michael reformed himself after he was killed by Lucifer.
"The Presence intervened during the great battle and gave Lucifer the opportunity to rule in the most distant place imaginable from the Primum Mobile - Hell. In Sandman, I recall him mentioning his fall, but not explicitly. It could have been done in a symbolic manner, more than anything else.

Are you perhaps mistaking it with the first time he expelled his power, in Lucifer's Universe? Michael was not seen since the Wolf Beneath the Tree arc in Lucifer's series.

Whether you wish to acknowledge the fight, or not, is entirely up to you. It does not mean everyone shares the view, especially seeing that it proves that Lucifer has more than enough power to inflict harm on Michael, as Fenris' was merely in control of Lucifer's body, but added nothing to his powerset - Michael not wishing to kill Lucifer is well within the boundaries of his personality, so unless the fight is under bloodlust, he will refrain from doing it (if possible) in this thread, too. As would Lucifer.
