Slayers

Slayers is a comic book team


There hasn't been any recent activity for this object.

The Slayers are a mystical line of women who are "called" to fight the forces of darkness.

The Slayer line was originally created by a group called the Shadow Men who wanted a champion to fight the forces of darkness. They infused a girl with the power from the heart of a pure demon.

The slayer possesses strength, agility, stamina, senses, and endurance that are well above that of a normal human. There is also a mystical side to the slayer, an ability to communicate with slayers of the past and see the future in her dreams.

The name for an apprentice, or uncalled, slayer is "potential."

A new slayer was traditionally "called" during her teens after the death of her predecessor. Willow Rosenberg has since changed the rules and called thousands of girls. It’s unclear how the slayer line continues now.
