My Q: what classic Silver Age villain actually first started out as a villain for the (FF version) Human Torch?

As I reread my question I see I left out a major piece of what I really meant to ask (which Spidey villain). The Torch actually had several silver age villains who have gone on elsewhere over the decades since.
But the Wizard was the very first so I'll give it to Reboot!

The funny thing is that, although the Wizard's stayed a primarily FF villain, he's now associated with Reed rather than Johnny.
Anyhoo, the complete Etrigan transformation poetry, if you please (I know there's been a few slight variations, I'm not too bothered about which one as long as it isn't the really short version).

I assume you mean something other than "Gone, gone form of man. Arise the demon Etrigan".
I looked it up, so I'll give others that might know it time to answer.

Change, change, o form of man, Release the might from fleshy mire, Boil the blood in heart of fire, Gone, gone, the form of man, Rise, the Demon Etrigan
--from memory on a phone. I know Kirby like few others
'Boot--what I originally meant was the Beetle, who first battled the Torch before becoming a longtime Spider-Man villain.

So close - you missed out one line... (well, technically two, but the other one is virtually never mentioned since it doesn't really rhyme and I'm not going to insist on it).

Lol - and I was so impressed with myself! But yeah, it didn't quite feel right when I wrote it out. Now I'm curious to know what the line is.
