Created by Jack Kirby and appearing for the first time in The Demon #1 (August, 1972), Etrigan the Demon is an anti-hero superhero who has played many smaller roles in several DC comics from The Sandman (1989) to Wonder Woman, with occasional stories and miniseries wholly to himself (such as in anthology series Wednesday Comics), and a number of ongoings, including Kirby's original series, a fifty-nine issue run, not counting annuals, during The '90s, and John Byrne's Blood of the Demon.Etrigan is a yellow skinned and red eyed demon who was summoned by Merlin to aid Camelot against the forces of Morgaine le Fay, who later became a recurring opponent in the series. After the fall of Camelot, Merlin sent Etrigan to roam the earth in the disguise of a man. Depending on the Writer, Etrigan is either bonded to one of King Arthur's noblemen or the human Jason Blood was merely created by Merlin's spell. In the present, Jason Blood, a well respected authority on demonology, is well versed in the skill of magic and has helped other superheroes in several occasions. Etrigan's habit of speaking in verses is a later addition, introduced by Len Wein in DC Comics Presents #66, but really established and explained by Alan Moore. This also makes him fall under almost every rhyme Trope there is.Etrigan's powers include superhuman strength, speed, durability, regenerative powers, hellfire projection, teleportation, and a high knowledge of maleficium. Jason Blood on the other hand is precognitive, as well as a capable sorcerer himself.Etrigan has also appeared in various animated adaptations of DC comics, being played by Billy Zane in Batman: The Animated Series, Michael T. Weiss in Justice League, Dee Bradley Baker in Batman: The Brave and the Bold and Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox, Christopher S. Field in DC Universe Online, Ray Chase in Justice League Dark and Justice League Dark: Apokolips War, Patrick Seitz in Justice League Action, and David Shaughnessy in Young Justice: Phantoms.His latest ongoing, Demon Knights, sees Etrigan leading a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits in Dark Age Europe. | |

Deal with the Devil | |
Etrigan (Comic Book) / int_1fc8335e | comment |
Deal with the Devil: During a guest appearance in Alan Moore's Swamp Thing, Jason mentions he's made a deal with Etrigan, to see if he can ameliorate some of Ety's worse behavior. Of course, as Jason points out, demons cheat. It's in their nature, and he's not sure who's getting the better of whom. | |

Good Is Not Nice | |
Etrigan (Comic Book) / int_21f3aa44 | comment |
Good is Not Nice: Jason Blood, especially outside of the Demon's own series. He isn't a villain, but he also doesn't bother often interfering with any disasters that aren't supernatural in nature. Even when Etrigan is considered a hero, he's pretty ruthless, resorting to cannibalism or self-mutilation without hesitation. | |

Ambiguous Gender: Klarion's cat familiar Teekl alternates between male and female Depending on the Writer. Kirby's version (and appearance in an animated adaptation) was female (including an alternate humanoid form), while Morrison's is characterized as male. Even between appearances in Kirby's original run, Teekl is referred to as male in the first appearance but female by the second appearance. | |

Let's Get Dangerous!: Usually averted. Given that Etrigan's twice conquered Hell just for his own amusement, he's clearly one of DC's heavy hitters. On the rare occasion that Etrigan's convinced the threat's worth his serious attention, he's typically subject to The Worf Effect. | |

Frankenstein's Monster: The original Jack Kirby series had an arc where Baron Von Evilstein attempted to transplant Jason Blood's head onto the body of his monster to give his creation the demonic powers of Etrigan.

Child Mage | |
Etrigan (Comic Book) / int_92760069 | comment |
Child Mage: Klarion the Witch Boy is an absurdly powerful little brat who, in his first appearance: cures a deadly poison, conjures up a feast, banishes a monster with a fork, and summons the Demon to his aid while tied up and suspended from the ceiling. | |

Aristocrats Are Evil | |
Etrigan (Comic Book) / int_96144372 | comment |
Aristocrats Are Evil: In continuities where Etrigan is a true demon, not merely a construct of Merlin's, he's depicted as at least a prince of Hell. While he was under the pen of Garth Ennis, he was briefly king of it. Baron Von Evilstein is an extremely depraved Mad Scientist. | |

Greater-Scope Villain | |
Etrigan (Comic Book) / int_9b06e314 | comment |
Greater-Scope Villain: During the Day of Judgement crossover, Etrigan was ultimately the one behind the scramble for control over The Spectre, though he apparently knew better than to try for control himself. This resulted in Hal Jordan taking the role, and Etrigan getting to laugh at the demons who thought they could. | |

Canon Discontinuity | |
Etrigan (Comic Book) / int_a32334b4 | comment |
Canon Discontinuity: John Byrne, in an act of purism, attempted to reveal that Etrigan's rhyming was the result of a curse rather than his demonic rank in a story serving as a backup in the final arc of his run on Wonder Woman (1987), where the curse was undone and Etrigan was overjoyed to speak normally again. This was ignored by basically everyone. | |

No-Sell: Etrigan briefly got involved in the events of Blackest Night, where the Black Lanterns tried tearing out his heart... which didn't do anything more than annoy him. Of course, Etrigan's fire-breath did nothing to them, so neither party had any reason to stick around. Etrigan's last seen taking off in a huff complaining about how Gotham puts Hell to shame. | |

Genius Bruiser: Etrigan is capable of going toe-to-toe with Superman, Darkseid, and Lobo. He's also one of the most powerful spellcasters in existence, powerful enough that (an admittedly weakened) Morpheus treated him with respect and he has successfully plotted the overthrow of Hell's hierarchy on at least three occasions, emerging as a Karma Houdini for orchestrating the Day of Judgement Crisis Crossover (almost nobody realizes his involvement). | |

Etrigan (Comic Book) / int_bcc4b873 | comment |
By the Power of Grayskull!: Etrigan's summoning spell. Often, especially in adaptations, only the two last lines are used. To change back, he recites "Gone, gone, O Etrigan! Resume once more the form of man!" Other versions of the poem have been seen to work. Spoofed at least once by Blood himself, while in a particularly snarky mood: In one story, Blood is turned into a fly and is forced to write out the poem in the dust in a desperate hope that could trigger the change: it works. | |

Etrigan (Comic Book) / int_fdc4fab4 | comment |
Depending on the Writer: There were many inconsistencies with Etrigan that depended on who was writing him. The nature of his relationship to Jason Blood. Whether anyone else can force the transformation. The quality of his rhymes, or whether he always rhymes or only does so while spellcasting. Whether he's evil, apparently, though that may just be John Byrne. Whether Klarion's cat familiar Teekl is a male or female. (Female in Kirby's case, male in Morrison's.) The extent of Jason Blood's power as a Badass Normal or a Black Mage. | |
