“
Guess what, when your twin is the lightbringer you have no choice but to live in the shadows.
Michael is an archangel and Lucifer Morningstar's twin brother, who served as the primary antagonist of Season 5. After growing envious of Lucifer's title as the lightbringer, Michael secretly manipulated his twin into carrying out nefarious acts, which includes the rebellion against God that resulted in his banishment to Hell. Thousands of years later, unbeknownst to Lucifer or any of his siblings, Michael had been manipulating their father after becoming his right hand man with the intention of having him retire so that he could finally claim the position of God.
Upon learning that Lucifer voluntarily chose to return to Hell for all of eternity, Michael grew jealous of the praise that he'd gotten from their siblings and ventured to Earth with the intention of ruining his brother's reputation and proving he hasn't changed. When Lucifer eventually returned, Michael was given a scar on his face so that he would never be able to impersonate his twin brother again. In retaliation, Michael proceeded to manipulate everyone in Lucifer's life, resulting in a temporary alliance with Mazikeen, exposing Lucifer's true identity to Dan Espinoza, and revealing Charlie's mortal status to Amenadiel by intentionally giving him an illness. In midst of a heated battle with his siblings, God appeared to halt the fighting and later ordered Michael to return to Heaven.
Although Michael's machinations of ousting God were discovered by Amenadiel, God still chose to retire upon reconciling with Goddess, and opted to spend the rest of eternity in her new universe. In an attempt to forcibly claim the throne, Michael recovered the Flaming Sword and rallied the majority of angels against Lucifer, who also managed to form his own army made up of Demons from Hell, ultimately culminating into a full scale war after Michael manages to kill Chloe amidst a heated battle with his twin brother. Michael is eventually defeated by Chloe after she is resurrected by Lucifer and is in possession of Amenadiel's necklace, granting her superhuman strength. Despite accepting his expected fate of eradication, Michael is given a second chance at redemption by his twin who instead uses the Flaming Sword to cut off his wings, successfully forcing him to bend the knee and recognize Lucifer as the new God.
Michael was one of the many angels born to God and Goddess long before the Big Bang, billions of years ago, but is special as he is an Archangel. He was also the elder twin of Lucifer Morningstar. Michael would always feel like he lived in the shadows due to his twin being the Lightbringer, and because of it, unknowingly self-actualized his right shoulder and wing into looking as if it were injured.
Manipulating His Twin
He annoyed Amenadiel a lot with his tricks but always stopped when Amenadiel hit him with his "atomic wedgies"; Michael tended to give himself away with his mojo. Having always despised Lucifer for being the preferred twin, Michael supposedly manipulated him into having a sexcapade in the garden with Adam and Eve and rebelling against God to make everyone hate him. In 2011, Michael supposedly whispered the idea to Lucifer to take a vacation on Earth to reignite their family's hatred of him.
God's Right-Hand
Sometime after Amenadiel lost his divinity and became stranded on Earth, Michael manipulated his way into becoming God's second-in-command. And while God didn't speak directly to him, he ensured that he was the only one in Heaven to speak to him. Michael then began setting into motion a plan to usurp his father as God, starting with making him believe that he was losing control of his powers for the last few months.
Michael's plan to turn their family against Lucifer took a turn. Lucifer was able win over Amenadiel and helped Goddess move on to her own universe. Despite killing Uriel, Lucifer was actually praised when he returned to Hell to keep the demons in check when William Kinley almost caused anarchy in Hell. In 2020, Michael grew angry his brother got praised; he decided to go to Earth and ruin the life Lucifer left behind.
Impersonation of Lucifer
Doing the Research
Michael started doing research on his twin and learned a great many things; He knew about his relationships with the Los Angeles Police Department. Michael found out Chloe Decker was his first love and how she was a gift from God with the intention to cross paths with Lucifer. He also learned about his therapy sessions with Linda Martin. He did a great deal of research on Mazikeen, learning she was furious with Lucifer for not taking her with him to Hell and Lucifer's role in hiding her mother Lilith after striping her of her immortality. After copying Lucifer's style, Michael put his plans into motion.
Saving Detective Decker
Michael breaks a criminal's gun.
His first stop being Chloe, Michael found her in the middle of a shootout in Megan Garner's house. Whistling, Michael entered the house, using Lucifer's accent to greet the "bad guys". After the confusion from the criminals of who Michael was settled, he then acted quickly and saved Chloe from a gunman by pushing him into a nearby wall. After Chloe saved him by shooting the second attacker in the head, Michael finished off the last criminal by throwing him over to Chloe after breaking his gun in half.
Michael smiles to himself.
After Chloe knocked the last criminal out, Michael took advantage of his knowledge of Lucifer's sarcasm and joked about Lee Garner's severed hand. Chloe then grabbed Michael and kissed him on the lips, to which he returned. Chloe soon let go, noticing something was off with "Lucifer". Michael claimed that since he's been in Hell for thousands of years compared to the two months she's been without him, he was now different, but assured her that she was the only thing that kept him going that whole time. The two then hugged, but unknown to Chloe, Michael smiled deviously to himself.
Recruiting Mazikeen
Initially, upon his return, Mazikeen attacks him thinking he is Lucifer, and gets a confession from Michael to reveal who he truly is, and she helps him in his plan to ruin Lucifer's life.
Identity Exposed
Michael pretended to have an affair with Maze to manipulate Chloe and get her to sleep with him. In the penthouse, Maze confronts him to stop him from completing his plan. Michael chokes Maze out and hides her as he plans to spend the night with Chloe. As Chloe arrives she mentions she realizes he is not Lucifer and learns his true identity. differences are also noticed by Amenadiel, leading to his eventual identity reveal as Michael, the archangel.
Brother vs Brother
Michael and Lucifer confront each other.
Upon finding this out, Amenadiel returns to Hell to inform Lucifer that Michael is on Earth attempting to take his life. Lucifer returns to Earth to find Michael in Lux, where they have a battle for who is the better brother; enraged by Michael's attempt to take his life and impersonate him, Lucifer uses a demonic knife and cuts a line through Michael's face starting at the top of his left eyebrow and ending at his right nostril, as a permanent symbol to prove he is not Lucifer.
Afterwards, Michael meets Mazikeen at Chloe's home and offers to help her find out about a secret that Lucifer kept hidden from her; which was revealed to be about her mother Lilith.
Moving the Plan Forward
Manipulating Dan Espinoza
Michael disappears following this, presumably to formulate a plan which involves ruining Lucifer's life. When Dan is heading back to his car after a night at Linda Martin's, he receives a phone call from Michael acting as Lucifer, telling him he forgot something at Linda's. Upon returning and looking through the window, Dan sees Lucifer's devil face and runs off.
Placing Doubt
Michael convincing Mazikeen to join him against Lucifer.
Later, Michael kidnaps Chloe and brings her to an abandoned zoo, locking her in a cage on the side of a mountain, and referencing a 'bigger plan' all along the way. Before this plan can be set into action, Lucifer, Maze, and Dan show up and free Chloe from her cage, and while Lucifer and Dan go to find Michael, Maze stays back and waits for him at the zoo. Upon Michael's arrival, Maze initially puts one of her knives to his throat, but they eventually work out a deal in which Mazikeen would help Michael achieve his 'bigger plan', and he would, in turn, give Maze a soul so she could eventually die. This marks Maze's turn from Lucifer's side to Michael's.
Family Squabble
At the hospital where Charlie was just diagnosed with a cold, time appears to suddenly stop; this is revealed to be Amenadiel, doing a final test to see if Charlie is an immortal or mortal. Because celestials do not freeze during the time-stop, and mortals do, and Charlie froze, it is determined that Charlie is a mortal and not a celestial as Amenadiel thought who is then finding himself unable to continue time again. Michael then arrives to taunt them, a brawl occurs between Maze and Lucifer, and Amenadiel and Michael. Lucifer knocks Maze down twice before she finally stays down from his powerful strike, as the same with Michael but instead of staying down, he engages once more and all three of them reveal their wings, waiting to release their true power. Suddenly, God appears, halting the battle, saying "Children. You know I hate it when you fight".
Family Dinner
To be added
Battle for Supremacy
Power Grab
Michael secretly began manipulating God, making God think that he was losing control of his powers and needed to retire. Although Amenadiel eventually deduced the truth, God chose to retire with Goddess to her new universe, leaving it up to the angels to decide whether Michael or Lucifer would become the new deity.
Gathering support in the Silver City, Michael sent Gabriel to steal Azrael's Blade and the Medallion of Life from Goddess' universe in order to reunite the Flaming Sword for his own purposes. Michael then sought out the third part of the blade, the key made out of Amenadiel's necklace, while orchestrating the death of Dan Espinoza so that Chloe's guilt over his death would condemn her to Hell. Michael then offered to let Lucifer be the Ruler of Hell again with Chloe's as his queen if Lucifer supported him, but Lucifer refused.
Dressed in armor, Michael gathered the angels in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum where Lucifer, Amenadiel, Chloe, Maze and several demons attempted to stop him. Michael and Lucifer engaged in battle, Lucifer armed with a staff made out of the Tree of Life and Michael with the Flaming Sword. Although the staff was broken, Lucifer and Chloe managed to disarm him of the Flaming Sword and break it apart. However, Michael mortally wounded Chloe with the broken staff and then watched as a heartbroken Lucifer held Chloe as she died. Appearing somewhat remorseful, Michael stated that she should never have been there and that at least it seemed like she made it to Heaven as Chloe had let go of her guilt and regrets in her last moments. Lucifer decided to get Chloe back despite Michael warning his brother that Lucifer's banishment meant that he would die if he attempted to return to Heaven, but Lucifer didn't care as long as he could save Chloe. After Lucifer left, his forces engaged Michael's in battle.
Defeat
Michael watched the battle, only to have Chloe resurrect. Although shocked that Lucifer had succeeded in bringing Chloe back, Michael relished in a second chance to kill her with Azrael's Blade. However, Chloe still had a hold of the key which granted her superhuman strength great enough to throw Michael around with just one hand and beat him into submission. Before Chloe could kill Michael with Azrael's Blade with Michael ordering her to do it, Lucifer suddenly returned and stopped her, Lucifer's return stopping the battle around them.
Lucifer ordered his shocked brother to kneel and reunited the Flaming Sword, apparently to execute Michael for his crimes as Michael knelt and extended his wings. As Michael closed his eyes, prepared for the death blow, Lucifer instead used the Flaming Sword to slice off Michael's wings. Lucifer declared that there would be no more killing and that during his time on Earth, he'd learned that everyone deserved a second chance, even Michael. Realizing that Lucifer was now the new deity, Amenadiel led all of the angels and demons in bowing to him. After a moment, Michael limped over and joined the others in bowing before Lucifer.
Personality
Michael right) taunting Amenadiel about Charlie.
Michael's ambitions largely involve causing havoc in Lucifer's life as well as those around him. It can be assumed that his reputation as a master manipulator and deceiver is largely well known in Heaven, due to Amenadiel's open disdain for him throughout the series, most notable when Linda suggests naming their baby 'Michael'. Michael is shown to have an extremely narcissistic and egotistical personality, which serves as a disguise to his childish insecurities about Lucifer being the better twin. He is extremely bitter towards Lucifer as, because the two share the same face, he feel like he's been in Lucifer's shadow since birth.
He believes himself to be better than his fellow angels, which is shown when he brags to Amenadiel about being the closest to their father, and that he can do whatever he pleases. Michael's open disdain for humankind also reflects the condescending attitude that many angels possess once setting foot on Earth for the first time, which can be seen in Amenadiel's behavior throughout season one as well as Remiel's in season four. Throughout the series, Michael is displayed to be extremely manipulative, self-seeking, and ruthlessly ambitious in pursuit of achieving his goals. According to Lucifer, Michael has always been cowardly in his tactics of manipulation, and would always receive his comeuppance from those that he deceived back in heaven. As time progressed, it is clear that Michael's sadistic nature has only grown since then, as he finds pleasure in using his nephew Charlie as a pawn to psychologically torment his brother Amenadiel. In contrast to Lucifer's "all bark and no bite" belief about him, Michael has proven to go at even greater lengths in acting on his threats as he manages to successfully damage Lucifer's relationship with Chloe, convince Dan to shoot Lucifer, and bring Maze to his side. He also was willing to break the rule in heaven about killing humans, as Michael threw one of Maze’s demon blades at an officer during the fight in the precinct and would have killed him if Lucifer hadn’t intercepted it. His sadism carries on to his fighting style as well, as every time he gets knocked down or punched by Lucifer or Amenadiel, he can be seen grinning and laughing, seemingly thrilled by the pain inflicted on him.
Michael has shown to be very jealous of his twin brother Lucifer and has constantly tried to prove he is better and cause harm to his brother. However, when accused of being jealous by Mazikeen, he verbally denied such a statement. Michael is shown to be very manipulative, according to his own statements he manipulated Lucifer to start an affair with Eve and to even rebel against God. However, it's uncertain if this is true or a lie. He is skilled at picking at a person's weak spot such as taunting Lucifer by addressing him by his real name, making Linda remember her past mistakes which causes her to believe she's a bad mother, scaring Amenadiel over the illness of his son, and telling Chloe that she was made solely for Lucifer.
He has proven to be unreliable, constantly working an angle and sowing seeds of doubt in the minds of others. Using a web of lies mixed up with truths makes it very hard to realize when he is honest. He is highly skilled in revealing fears in other people and using that to manipulate their actions to his gain.
It is unknown what status Michael has with his parents but the fact that he immediately stops fighting Lucifer and Amenadiel when God ordered it shows that he fears his father and holds respect for him. It can also be assumed that he does not care for Goddess since he resides in Heaven and was mentioned by Amenadiel to be the closest to their father out of all their siblings currently.
Despite his cruel personality, Michael does not appear to be entirely remorseless. When he mortally wounded Chloe, Michael stopped fighting upon seeing the impact that it had upon Lucifer and watched possibly with some sympathy as Chloe died in his arms. Rather than taking the opportunity to taunt his brother, Michael attempted to justify himself by pointing out that he had tried to get Lucifer to make Chloe leave and even attempted to comfort Lucifer a bit with the revelation that Chloe had most likely made it into Heaven after all. However, upon her resurrection, Michael relished in the chance to kill her a second time, this time using Azrael's Blade which would make her death permanant as the blade would eradicate Chloe from existence.
Powers
Archangel Physiology: As an archangel, Michael is extremely powerful and has their physiology, including superhuman strength, speed, stamina, durability, endurance, agility, reflexes, intelligence, and senses, immortality, invulnerability, indestructibility, eternal youth, dimensional travel, and a regenerative healing factor.. He also has their weaknesses. Michael is powerful enough among angels that even Amenadiel recognizes his strength. After Lucifer severed his wings with the Flaming Sword, Michael's power was weakened as Michael lost all of the powers that came with having his wings.
Superhuman Strength: Michael is incredibly strong, capable of exerting vast amounts of superhuman physical force, and has displayed immense levels of superhuman strength. He was able to completely break a gun in half, smashing a man's head through a wall, and quickly and easily choking out Mazikeen. He has shown himself to be strong enough to hold his own against both Amenadiel and Lucifer for a short time. He and his twin brother Lucifer are shown to be roughly equal in strength at full power, though Lucifer is slightly stronger, and a better fighter.
Superhuman Speed: Like all angels, Michael is extraordinarily fast, he is much faster than humans, demons, animals, and other beings, he can appear and disappear with a blink of an eye.
Invulnerability: Michael, like all angels, is virtually indestructible, has a highly durable body, and he cannot be harmed by conventional means. Only things that could kill him are Demon Daggers forged in Hell and the Flaming Sword. During his fight with his brothers Amenadiel and Lucifer, he was able to withstand and quickly recover from most of their very powerful attacks, kicks, and punches. Michael, like all angels is significantly far more durable than demons, animals, humans, and most beings and creatures in the universe.
Superhuman Reflexes: Michael, like all angels, has incredible superhuman reflexes, capable of dodging, and countering incoming attacks at immense speeds.
Angel Wings (formerly):
Michael revealing his wings
Michael, like all angels has divine wings. Like other angels, he can hide his wings and take them out at will. However in the final battle with his brother his wings got cut off.
Flight (formerly): Like all Angels, Michael's wings enable him to fly. He can use his wings to fly to other dimensions such as Heaven, Hell, and Earth in a mere second such as when he appears to Dan in the cemetery in a holy bright light. Now that his wings have been severed Michael can no longer fly or travel freely between dimensions, effectively trapping him on Earth.
Immortality: Michael, like all angels, is immortal. He is immune to aging and illnesses. Like his angel siblings, he is billions of years old.
Regenerative Healing Factor: As witnessed numerous times all along with the show, Michael heals much faster than humans, animals, and demons. He can heal any injuries within minutes. He was able to rapidly heal from the wound Lucifer severely inflicted on his face from a demon dagger forged in hell although it has not disappeared, and caused a scar.
Fear Exhibition: Michael can make people admit their deepest fears, similar to Lucifer's desire mojo. He also appears to be able to cause their fears to manifest. He seems to sense certain fears in an individual, and can quickly expose their fears, and can hypnotize them to admit any or all of their fears. There are moments where he didn't ask what they truly fear but be able to bring fear out of them.
Body Chemistry Manipulation (possibly): Lucifer accused Michael to be the one responsible for simulating Charlie's common cold symptoms simply to psychologically torture Amenadiel.
Abilities
Master Hand-To-Hand Combatant: In contrast to what Lucifer and Amenadiel originally believed, Michael has become an extremely skilled combatant. He was able to swiftly subdue Maze and Chloe within a matter of seconds. During his fight against Lucifer and Amenadiel, he proved capable of holding his own against them reasonably well. He has shown to be very relentless in a fight, constantly getting up despite being knocked down by Lucifer and Amenadiel multiple times. Before God arrived to halt the fighting, Michael seemed confident enough to fight both Lucifer and Amenadiel with their wings unleashed, showing that he may have believed that he could've defeated them on his own at full power.
Psychological Warfare Mastery: Michael is an almost unparalleled manipulator who specializes in using a combination of deception, hard truths as well as his opponents' fear to turn them against each other. This is evident by Mazikeen's shift to his side, Lucifer torturing himself for not being able to find Chloe, Dan's nervous breakdown as well as Chloe's existential crisis after revealing why she was created. His ability to prey on the fears of his enemies indirectly gives him the power to weaken other angels due to their tendency to self-actualize, making him an extremely dangerous foe.
Skilled Detective: While impersonating Lucifer, Michael was able to use his power of fear exhibition to deduce information from suspects in the murder case. Although not as experienced as Lucifer or Chloe, he was able to fulfill his role as a traditional detective without causing major suspicion, despite lacking his brother's unpredictable and impulsive attitude.
Weaknesses
As an angel, Michael has their weaknesses including the Flaming Sword, demonic weapons, and other supernatural beings.
Michael was brutally scarred by Lucifer with a demon blade
Other Supernatural Beings: Supernatural beings can harm one another. Both Lucifer and Amenadiel were easily able to physically harm Michael, with Lucifer restraining Michael without Michael being able to get out of his grip at the end of their fight while Amenadiel had the upper hand for the majority of their altercation and easily knocked him around with his blows. Even Mazikeen was able to at least temporarily restrain Michael, though she caught him off-guard and it was unclear how long she could have held him had she not released him first.
Self-Actualization: It is mentioned throughout the series that all angels are able to self-actualize, which results in their judgements manifesting as psychosomatic changes, as shown with Amenadiel losing his wings and Lucifer regaining his angel wings despite cutting them off. It is revealed that Michael self-actualized the "chip on his shoulder" with Lucifer, which effectively serves as the reason why he looks like he has a shoulder injury.
Flaming Sword: Michael can be eradicated by Azrael's Blade and the completed Flaming Sword. In addition, the key granted Chloe Decker superhuman strength that enabled her to effortlessly overpower Michael.
Physical Appearance
Michael resembled Lucifer head-to-toe as his twin.
After being outed, he began wearing less classy fabrics and comfortable ones such as turtlenecks and loose chinos, unlike his twin who had a deep care about appearances
Michael's wings were raven black in contrast to Lucifer's heavenly white ones
Michael's appearance is identical to Lucifer's. He was able to trick several characters into thinking that he is Lucifer. Once exposed as a Lucifer imposter, Michael adopted a more causal look. While still mimicking Lucifer's fashion, Michael wears less classy fabrics, opting for cheaper and comfortable ones. The most notable difference is he replaces the dress shirt with a turtleneck. After he is outed after posing as Lucifer, Michael's hair is slightly more unkempt than his brother's, and he now sports a large scar over his face which starts above his left eyebrow, crosses his nose, and ends at his right cheek. He seems to possess some injury to his right shoulder, with it being noticeably higher than his left. His angel wings are black in contrast to Lucifer's white and his right wing is slightly damaged, missing several feathers. This is shown even with his wings retracted, as his right shoulder is noticeably higher than his left.
Amenadiel is known to dislike Michael to the point his name disturbs him. Linda Martin almost named Charlie, "Michael" in season 4 but Amenadiel decided against it because he knew Lucifer's disgust and anger at that name.
During Michael's introduction, he is seen whistling the TV series's theme song.
When visiting Lucifer Morningstar at Hell, Amenadiel mentions Michael being the closest to their Father currently as well as the only sibling that has a direct line to him. However in previous seasons, it was widely known and stated by Amenadiel himself that he was indeed God's favorite son, as well as main messenger. This may indicate that Michael has taken Amenadiel's spot in Heaven as God's favorite since Amenadiel no longer resides there, while also suggesting that he was prevented from moving up the ranks by Amenadiel when the latter would reside there.
Unlike Lucifer, Michael is shown to be quite miserly and tight when it comes to money.
After Michael is exposed, he starts wearing loose-fitting tweed jackets and turtlenecks, which is similar to one of Lucifer's looks in the comics.
The scar Lucifer gives Michael with one of Mazikeen's Demon daggers is a reference to the comics where Maze scars Lucifer's face with a blade in a similar way.
After seeing Michael's armor in A Chance at a Happy Ending, Lucifer jokingly asks if winter was coming in a reference to Game of Thrones.
Behind the Scenes
Michael is an archangel in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions. In the lore, Michael is the Archangel who defeated Lucifer in his rebellion and cast him out of Heaven.
According to Tom Ellis, Michael doesn't have the liver that Lucifer has when it comes to alcohol and prefers to drink vodka, while Lucifer whiskey.
Ellis also mentioned that while Lucifer drinks with his right hand, Michael drinks with his left.
Michael is not a favorite among the fans, the cast (Tom Ellis included) don't really like Michael much. So much so that Tom himself suggests doing #michaelisadick.
Ellis has confessed that he felt like a fraud while portraying Michael. He mentioned that "Getting into character as Michael in the first instance was weird, because [he] really enjoyed it. But at the same time, [he] hadn't felt that way on this set for a long time, in that [he] was living in new territory for [him] as a character."[1]
