Good points, alatar. Christ's victory over death, sin, and hell, was over fallen angels as well. Things changed regarding what fallen angels could do upon Christ's harrowing of hell.

With that power and authority available to any believer (according to the final verses of the gospel of Matthew), not only has the liberty of fallen angels been significantly curtailed, but may be further impeded whenever believers take their faith seriously enough to wield it according to the power and authority given to them. So a fallen angel clothing itself in human flesh couldn't happen anymore.

Admittedly, I don't have Scriptural backing ready to hand to defend my thoughts, but it seems to account for things, especially if you consider all the things that are recorded in the Old Testament and the old myths. My hunch is that there's more reality in those old myths than we care to credit them with.
