Lucifer Morningstar is a DC Comics character appearing primarily as a supporting character in the comic book series The Sandman and as the title character of a spin-off, both published under the Vertigo imprint.

Though various depictions of Lucifer – the Biblical fallen angel and Devil of the Abrahamic religions – have been presented by DC Comics in their run, this interpretation by Neil Gaiman debuted in The Sandman in 1989. Like many modern interpretations of Satan, DC's Lucifer owes much to the character's portrayal in John Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost, though Gaiman adapts the character to fit the fictional DC Universe where their comics are set, where the character exists alongside superheroes and deities from multiple religions.

Later, the character acquired an ongoing Lucifer spin-off series written by Mike Carey, depicting his adventures on Earth, Heaven, and in the various other realms of his family's creations and in uncreated voids after abandoning Hell in the Sandman series.[1] Lucifer also appears as a supporting character in issues of The Demon, The Spectre, and other DC Universe comics. Two angels, several demons, a human, and briefly Superman[2] have taken his place as ruler of Hell.

In 2010, IGN named Lucifer as the 68th greatest comic book villain of all time.[3]

No one can saw what Satan looks like as there are no description of him in Scripture. It does say however that he is a fallen angel, as a Cherub (two winged), as opposed to Seraph (six winged), as is written by (Ezekiel 28:11-19). In Genesis and Revelation he is referred to as the Serpent because of his nature as one who's words are lies (poison from his lips) and who was brought so low from his former glory as one of the heavenly host. (Genesis 3:14-15, Revelation 12:9)
Satan is not a being with flesh and blood as we are but is a spirit who can appear even as an angel of light to people (2 Corinthians 11:14); can enter into those who have a defiled nature such as Judas Iscariot (Luke 22:3); or even masquerade as someone else who has died, called up from a spirit medium (1 Samuel 28:11-20).
As to the horns. This is just using bits and pieces from all sorts of sources such as Satyrs from Greek mythology and so so forth. However, in ancient times the use of horns on a person was a mark of someone of power and might. You can see ancient coins of Alexander the Great with horns coming out of his hair. A horn only represents power and not a physical attribute.
I hope this was helpful. There is much more to the subject that it would take too long to go into it all. Truth is no one actually knows what he looks like, it is only his nature we really know about. A shape shifter is probably the simplest answer.
