I've always been interested in Faust and Mephistopheles as a transferable archetype and Constantine really fused with that in my head; I always see the Swinton-Gabriel type figure when I imagine any Mephistophelean character.

Marlow's Faust will always be my favourite because he strikes the deal with the devil and the first thing he asks for is a wife and gets told "No, now go do some work" and its the funniest fucking thing
No worries! I just loved your take. Imagine the Faust character forcing the Mephistopheles character to bargain with him. I like your idea of the archetype because it makes that scene more interesting than it probably really is.
The presentation of Gabriel I'm that film struck such a chord with me that it shouldn't surprise me as an adult I go around going "why do I have to have a gender?" And now I want more characters that have that
I totally vibe. Since my transitioning, I’ve taken on aspects of the various Lucifer characters and when my OCD is at its worst, I am totally Pete. I can’t imagine myself not in a white suit any more. Damn this movie was good.
