It's not like they were outside the Vertigoverse or anything.Recently I began to doubt my skepticism and then Astner dropped the bomb and I'm right back to doubting Team Vertigo.
Lucifer was never at full power during the series.
In the beginning, he voluntarily depowered himself by wing removal.
Then he got them back, minus a couple feathers (which is important), and that made him powerful enough to effortlessly tank the entirety of Michael's demiurgic power and warp it into a multiverse.
Then he was depowered again by God's departure and the unraveling of creation (until Elaine restored it, at which point Lucifer again willingly depowered himself).
