He isn't nearly as strong. What are you basing this off of?

Fortunately for Hulk while Etrigan being Merlin's brother is a powerful mage he hates using it and rarely does.
His very being is magical in nature, as is his hellfire.
Moreover, whilst it may not be in his character to use magic, full capacity rule means that it will be hard as hell to KO him...the guy was AOK when he was literally ripped in half from top to bottom.
So once he realises the physical fight is not going his way...magic will come out, overrriding his usual distaste for using it.
This Etrigam's fight to lose. He'd be a nightmare for Hulk to fight.
Etrigan, ripped in two:
Still fighting with an uppercut:
Anyways, he DOES use magic in his fistfights. A lot. Like here, against Lobo:

Pl;us, he could just tear his soul out:

off any and all his showings against high herald level bricks. name any high herald who has overwhelmed etrigan with strength? ww? nope. superman? nope? lobo? nope. he could def hang with hulk for a LONG time.
None of those people have Hulk rage or his amping abilities. That's like me saying since Blaastar gave Thor and Genis a fight he would give Hulk hell. We seen how that turned out. He got one shot koed. In the end, Etrigan gets overpowered. He does alright but he eventually falls to Hulk strength, durability, and healing factor.

I really miss old school Etrigan, he was such a baller. That Lobo fight is absolute gold.

sure, that's what i said. if it stays a slugfest he loses. 😐 he'd last a long while though. he's in the class of the others and would def not be overwhelmed. and his spells would end hulk. at the very least he could bfr for a win 100/100, but he has other magic to call on.
Bfr probably wouldn't work
And the Hulk before the Universe died was able to teleport. By the way, Etrigan hate using magic...hate it with a passion. So I feel safe at saying that he probably will not use it here.

It's a vulnerability in the sense that he has no active defences against it, but he doesn't just fold at the sight of magic.
I think Strange level Magic would do some serious work (even though Hulk has withstood it before). The level Etrigan tends to use isn't enough imo.
