Lucifer is from the Hebrew word Halal. Meaning bright star. This star fell from heaven. Satan is called the serpent (Garden of Eden), and in Revelation, the big red dragon. His name means destroyer, adversary, slanderer, thief, murderer, etc...
People believe the 'Son of Perdition' is the antichrist. The fallen stars & the fallen dragon is the spiritual inspiration behind the "Son of Perdition (antichrist).
Yes, Satan and the fallen angels are antichrist.
Jesus had accused the religious self-righteous (who were scheming how to kill Jesus Christ) that their father was the devil. So, the devil is a father to the anti-christs.

Lucifer is a man who wanted to make himself seated in the high heavens with God. Read Isaiah 14:12-17 or read the whole verse of Chapter 14.. Satan is a spirit who deceives. his other names are....the ancient dragon, the old serpent, the devil. Lucifer was also a victim of Satan. Those who say he was Nebuchadnezar have not understood well the message of Isaiah. In King James Version and Catholic's Latin Vulgate his name is Lucifer, In other Christian Bibles, he is called the "Morning Star" and if you will read Rev.22:16, you will see who is that man who claims to be the Morning Star. For anti-Christ, the word is so simple..those who are just against Christ. he is not Satan, he is not the devil but he can always make himself to be the anti-Christ.

Technically it's a bit more complicated than that, as Henry Ansgar Kelly points out in his new book, "Satan: a Biography" (Cambridge UP, 2006). You might also want to grab the excellent series of studies by Jeffrey Burton Russell, one of the great scholars of the history and development of the concept of Satan, Lucifer, and the Devil.

Lucifer was a king. Nebuchadnezzar called by this name
12 How you have fallen from heaven,
O morning star, son of the dawn!
You have been cast down to the earth,
you who once laid low the nations!
Outside of this, there are no other references in the Bible of Lucifer.
Lucifer =/= Satan

No, they are not the same. Lucifer was one of the archangels. Satan was a follower of Lucifer during the Lucifer rebellion.

Satan was originally an angle named "Lucifer", who wanted to rule over people and earth. Isiah 14:12 is the only place in the bible that mentions that, so the fallen angle is Satan.

He is one and the same. Lucifer was his name when his was an angel still in heaven before he was cast out. It was once he was cast down to earth that God changed his name to Satan. Since then, there has been a multitude of names for him. Beelzebub is one of those names.

In Roman astronomy, Lucifer was the name given to the morning star (the star we now know by another Roman name, Venus). In the original Hebrew text, the fourteenth chapter of Isaiah is not about a fallen angel, but about a fallen Babylonian king, who during his lifetime had persecuted the children of Israel. It contains no mention of Satan, either by name or reference.
The majority of people have not bothered to study the evolution of religion enough to realize that practically every culture has borrowed the spiritual traditions of other cultures, reworked them and made them their own.
