There was no record in the Bible which says that Satan was created in God's image. There is a text which says that man is created a little lower.
Satan in particular, who was called Lucifer in the beginning, meaning the Light Bearer, was a perfect being, handsomest and most intelligent, most talented of all the angels in heaven.
But one day sinful thought entered his mind because of his beauty, inteligence and talents. (Isaiah 14:12-14; Ezekiel 28:12-15). 12 “ How you are fallen from heaven,
O Lucifer,[b] son of the morning!
How you are cut down to the ground,
You who weakened the nations!
13 For you have said in your heart:
‘ I will ascend into heaven,
I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;
I will also sit on the mount of the congregation
On the farthest sides of the north;
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds,
I will be like the Most High.’
“Son of man, take up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD:
“ You were the seal of perfection,
Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
13 You were in Eden, the garden of God;
Every precious stone was your covering:
The sardius, topaz, and diamond,
Beryl, onyx, and jasper,
Sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold.
The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes
Was prepared for you on the day you were created.
14 “ You were the anointed cherub who covers;
I established you;
You were on the holy mountain of God;
You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones.
15 You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created,
Till iniquity was found in you.
(Satan here is pictured as the King of Tyre, but of course the King of Tyre was never in Eden, and was not a perfect being described in Ezekiel 28.)
He is still the smartest, the most good looking, and the most powerful angel. And he is happy if people think he looks ugly as most imagine. Then he would be able to fool us easily.
Jesus Himself says that satan is an angel of light or a brilliant angel. But the time will come when he and all his followers will be returned to dust or ashes.

The Bible does not say that the angels were created in God's image, only man. That is why satan is jealous of man and attempts to pull us away from God. A Blessed Christmas to you.

Satan was an angel who got threw out of heaven because he tried to take over. He wasn't human so he wasn't created in God's image

Man was created in God's image. Satan was an angel who turned against God and was cast out of heaven.

No. Only people were created in God's image.
Satan was created as a beautiful and intellegent being but he was not created in God's image. That means he was not a representative or image God like humans are. We were made special and greater than the angels.

To be made in His image we must be capable of love; to be capable of love we must have free will; but to have free will, we must also be capable of willing wrongly. There were no evil things in the beginning; the only way to get a bad thing is to take a good thing and ruin it. That's what Satan used the good gift of freedom to do. Because creaturely freedom includes the ability to choose whether or not to follow the Creator, Satan could rebel ... And did.

Lucifer was actually the angel of light, he was the highest of angels. This is where Christians and Traditional Satanists differ... Christians say that Lucifer became power hungry and attempted to lead a revolt against God and was cast into hell. On the Satanic side, however, God became overly agressive towards man and Lucifer fought to protect him. Angels are not created in God's image, but perhaps, when he was cast to hell Lucifer was recreated in man's image?

No, he is not a man but rather an angel. Angels were not created in God's image. In fact, it is partly Satan's jealousy of man and his pride that made him into a "fallen angel".

Actually the Church created the image of Satan based on the image of a God, Cernunnos/Herne. That way they could torture and kill the pagans as devil worshipers.
