Wormwood

Other Names / Variants: n/a

Wormwood - In Revelation 8:11, Wormwood is the name of a star that fell from Heaven at the blast of the 3rd angel.  According to A Dictionary of the Holy Bible (American Tract Society, 1859), Wormwood "denotes a mighty prince or power of the air, the instrument of sore judgments on large numbers of the wicked."  In St. Paul's view, Wormwood would be the equivalent of Satan, whom Paul refers to as the "prince of the power of the air."

 - the passage continues with several references to mentions of Wormwood in fictional works. (basically I was lazy here.  I will type up the rest of the reference when I get a chance)
