Thought I'd add my two-cents' worth.
Morgoth was originally the most powerful Valar, but he rebelled against the will of Eru and wanted to usurp his place, so he was cast out with the help of Tulkas.
Satan was originally the most powerful angel, but he rebelled against the will of God and wanted to usurp his place, so he was cast out with the help of the archangel Michael.
Anybody see a parallel here?
