The Devil, also known as Lord Dis or the Torturer Inexorable, was defined by Jenny Everywhere as the “symbol of all humankind's evil and depravity”. The Devil was, in most universes where he existed, the greatest of Demons and the ruler of Hell. Some incarnations of Jenny Everywhere occasionally ran into, and opposed, versions of the Devil.
Description
Physical appearance
In one universe's Hell, the Devil's exact features where in constant flux. He appeared as a Minotaur-like being, with the head of a fanged calf with an enlarged cranium and small horns. He hovered, wreathed with flames. (COMIC: Jenny Everywhere Vs Hell) In another universe where the Devil was apparently not real, Jenny Everywhere's mental picture of him looked something like Pan, whose physical appearance was that of a man with sharp features, horns and a pointed goatee. (COMIC: Holiday Pandemonium)
Personality
The Devil as encountered by Jenny was an overly self-assured ruler who belittled mortals and never seemed to consider the notion that they might have a threat to him, have a point against him, or even so much as fail to be awed and terrified by his presence. He was bigoted and spiteful, insisting that girls were “meant to marry nice boys and keep house”. (COMIC: Jenny Everywhere Vs Hell)
Biography
Overthrown by Jenny
In one universe, the Devil ruled Hell from the deepest level of the Underworld. After Jenny Everywhere was pulled into Hell only to refuse to submit to her allotted punishment, she was pulled down to the Devil's throne room, where he attempted to break her spirits. However, a defiant Jenny told her his moralising, misogynistic lectures about the “filth” of homosexuality were no better than the sorts of things her granny had said to her when she was fifteen. She gave the baffled Devil a psychic glimpse of the infinity of her incarnations, which knocked him out. Stepping over his prone body, Jenny announced that Hell was no longer his kingdom and this was “Day One of the Republic of Hell”. (COMIC: Jenny Everywhere Vs Hell)
As fiction
Upon meeting Pan in one dimension, Jenny Everywhere mistook him forthe Devil. However, not only was Pan not the Devil, but he did not believe the Devil really existed, at least in his universe. (COMIC: Holiday Pandemonium)
Behind the scenes
The personification of Death as a Grim Reaper figure is a standard mythological and folkloric image, by which token the character can be considered public domain, although the details of specific design used by Withiel S. Black in COMIC: Jenny Everywhere Vs Hell.
