* CanonDiscontinuity: Creator/JohnByrne, 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 ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987'', where the curse was undone and Etrigan was overjoyed to speak normally again. This was ignored by basically everyone.
