User blog comment:Sppople/Satan or Complete Monster/@comment-1762629-20150131023230

Is this even up for debate? "Satan" isn't a character trope, it's a stock archetype, whereas the Complete Monster is the master trope for the vilest character depictions.

Being Satan doesn't automatically make you the vilest of the vile, as the character archetype is subject to so much parody and distillation. If he fits the criteria for Complete Monster, boom. He qualifies. But the archetype of Satan, anti-gods, or even literal devils, are not above the master trope that actually measures the amount of evil a character presents. The idea of a satanic archetype is a character type, whereas Complete Monster is a trope/device meant for measuring said characters. If he counts, he counts, but no depiction of Satan is going to automatically warrant the tag of CM.
