The Demon of DC!

"Gone, gone, the form of man. Rise the demon ETRIGAN!!"
What if you had the powers of the mighty demon Etrigan? Super strength, extreme durability, the power to produce hellfire and energy, super speed, agility, a healing factor, magic, the power to do extreme rhyming, and more! He is weakened by holy powers and iron. The demon Etrigan is truly a great character. Created by Jack Kirby when his Fourth World series was about to be cancelled, he created a new character, hoping him to be so bad that they would HAVE to keep the Fourth World series. However, Jack was annoyed when he got EXTREMELY good reviews, and he had to keep going with Etrigan. When Jason Blood, an immortal since he is bound to Etrigan, says the rhyme above the picture, he becomes the mighty demon Etrigan! Etrigan is the son of Belial, a demon from Jewish culture. Merlin, his half brother, became angered when he couldn't discover Etrigan's secrets, so he bonded him to Jason Blood, a knight in Camelot. Centuries later, he discovered the poem that made it so he could become Etrigan. Etrigan has since become an incredible superhero. Go Etrigan!
