Editing Satan (section)

==Notable Skills==
===Intimidation and Fear===
Though he is soft-hearted deep down, there is no denying that Satan is capable of treat intimidation and still seems to enjoy striking fear into others. When first appearing to mortals both in Hell and when summoned to Earth, he was often accompanied by supernatural effects, such as light or flame, and often began speaking with a booming and intimidating voice. He was also capable of a thundering roar he also used to intimidate and scare others.

Though this was not true to Satan's personality, he still seemed to prefer to cultivate this image and was nonetheless shown to express embarrassment when he proved unable to keep his intimidating composure around mortals, particularly new arrivals in [[Hell]], which was usually a sign of something amiss in his personal life. It can be noted, however, that when assisting mortals on the surface he still often used his softer, 'normal' speaking voice and mellowed out after an initial spooky summoning.

===Strength===
Both his first and final appearances made key point of Satan's intimidating, muscular appearance and raw strength, using his towering appearance to intimidate rivals before initiating an actual fight in both instances, exhibiting the ability to throw punches that certainly seemed to exceed the average shown by humans seen in the show. When against [[Jesus]] he may have been pulling punches due to his desire to throw the fight anyway, but he also has proven capable of lifting [[Saddam Hussein|an entire human being]] into the air above his head. 

During his final confrontation with [[Manbearpig]], both demonic creatures have brute strength and immense mass, making it diffuclt to measure Satan's exact ability from this instance; however, the mass of his large body is also shown damaging buildings and the street pavement during the fight.

===Dark Magic===
Though never confirmed directly, it appears that Satan is limited to only physical abilities on the surface, such as his raw strength, but has access to dark magic while in [[Hell|his own supernatural realm]]; this seems illustrated in "[[Freemium Isn't Free]]", when he asks for [[Stan Marsh]]'s consent to possess him briefly to confront his rival [[Beelzeboot the Canadian Devil]], and is then able to use great and powerful dark magic. These abilities are never used on the surface against [[Jesus]] or in his final confrontation with [[Manbearpig]], but do appear in Hell, particularly against Kevin in "[[Best Friends Forever]]".

The exact nature of these deadly powers is never discussed or otherwise referenced, and with Satan's death, their exact meaning will likely never become clear.

===Temptation===
Satan refers to himself as the 'Prince of Temptation', and admits that creating temptation is 'kind of [his] deal]', and that temptation exists to ensure humanity has free will, though he notes that addiction is supposed to be connected to "fun", pointing out the connection to dopamine, the release of which is responsible for pleasure and is used in nature to motivate animals to eat and reproduce. He takes great pride in the "nuance" involved in crafting temptation, however, becoming frustrated with [[Beelzeboot the Canadian Devil]]'s "blatant Skinner box manipulation".
