God's wrath is fully justified and just in case we miss this fact the entire Bible teaches that God's perfect holiness and hatred of sin entails wrath and judgment on unrepentant sinners.
As I said, we're not told a lot about Satan, but unless he punishes people because they are evil, and is fully justified in doing so, then he and God are completely different.
Which they are.
