He ompletely smacked him down in the time after time arc as well way back when😄
So thats Supes 2 and 0😄
Keep the faith😄
Stay Whirly 🤘
With Ghost Rider helping, Superman its going to have alot of problems. With both being magical.
However i dont give them the win. If Superman had caused or killed innocet before he would et hell thanks to GH penance stare. Since the ones he murdered wer villains ( the 3 kritonians from Superboys reality and Doomsday ), it wont be of use here.
Unless of course someone comes and give something of a Etrigan showing or feat that gives alot of pain to Supes.

they tussled again in an issue of action by byrne. etrigan's fire DID hurt supes a lot, but supes was able to fight through it and grab etrigan and blast him through a few walls. it appeared in that fight that supes was above etrigan in that one. if etrigan and gr blasted him at the same time, they might hurt him a lot, but i'm still not sure it would be enough. and if supes uses his speed as he seems to be doing a lot lately, they'd have trouble hitting him before he could take them out.
this might be a tough one, but i see supes winning it.
Etrigan wins. ETRIGAN WINS.
I don't care what happened in their comic fights. I own many of those fights.. Etrigan is so shackled with PIS it's not even funny.
Here's just one example: In an early 90's something Action Comics, Etrigan casually sends himself and Superman through time to battle Morgan Le Fey in the past. Time jumping by itself is a pretty big feat, but that's not my point..
The two face MLF, and she uses her magic to create a stone prison. The Demon immediately goes into "Woe is me, all is lost!" mode. He flat out gives up. But Superman realizes the cage is merely shaped by magic, and breaks them out of the cage.
BULL.... SHIT. Etrigan is an expert on magic and sorcery.. It's no exaggeration to put him up there with Dr. Fate and Dr. Strange. The thought that he wouldn't even attempt to break the stone cage, and Superman had to do it is just ridiculous.
Point 2: Etrigan defeated his half brother Merlin in a fair fight. The very same Merlin who served Camelot.. The very same Camelot Superman visited in Time and Time Again, a running Superman story where he bounces through different eras. Merlin had Supes well in hand, before they sorted out their differences.
Etrigan can beat Merlin who could casually defeat Superman.
That sounds like ABC logic, and it is, but the fact remains Etrigan has some of the most potent sorcery in DC, yet he reverts to common brawling tactics against Supes. He basically plays to Supermans strengths, which is the physical game.
In a proper forum fight, Etrigan uses all his resources and powers and, say, dumps Superman into the big bang. Or turns him into stone. Or a pink bunny or something.
H2h only, yeah, Superman wins. If Etrigan fights like an idiot, Superman wins.
