    Witchblade

    Character » Witchblade appears in 689 issues.

    The Witchblade is the offspring of the primal forces of the universe, The Darkness and The Angelus. It usually takes the form of a complex metal gauntlet. Since it is male in nature, it seeks out female hosts. The Witchblade is semi-organic and reacts supernaturally to threats. It is able to grant its host a variety of weapons and can also heal the wearer.

    Im looking for someone who can tell me the full scope of the witchblades powers and like some of her best feats. I know some feats of the darkness making stuff out of darkness virtually anything and he's suppose to have hurt superman in tales of the darkness there is a darkness who can supposidly control the darkness between the stars ive heard. But i havent heard anything that impressive about the witchblade. Like at full potential the darkness could take over the world im guessing.............but at full potential could the witchblade do the same? And if she can then how? What powers would she use?

    One thing to understand about the Top Cow universe is that Witchblade isn't a person with powers same thing with the Darkness, they are people fused with an artifact/force/being or empowered by such things. The more your nature echoes with the source of your power and the more you understand it, the more powerful you are. In effect, it's likely no wielder of the 13 have ever manifested the full powers at their disposal. 
     
    Sarah Pezinni, the current wielder of the Witchblade has done some impressive feats with the blade: 
    1-She can drape herself in impenetrable armor 
    2-Shape whatever melee weapon  she may want 
    3-Shoot bolts of burning energy 
    4-Regenerate from even mortal wounds. 
    5-Grow wings to allow her to fly 
    6-Heal others 
    7-Tap into the memories of the previous wielders 
    8-Sense the presence of the Angelus and the Darkness 
     
    However, During war of the Witchblade, when she wqs corrupted by the Darkness half of the witchblade she also manifested the following powers. 
     
    1-Create a darkened Sanctum to serve as her lair 
    2-create demonic minions like the ones the Darkness can summon

    @Crom-Cruach:
    Why hasnt Top Cow tried to get her powers to be more diverse i mean yes there diverse but isnt the witchblade suppose to be a universal force or something? I mean the darknesses powers keep growing and growing there is storylines were the darkness has destroyed the world. Its liek the writers of witchblade arent trying to make her powers more diverse then the darkness

     2 reasons mostly:
    1-Because Witchblade is more street level in it's scope. She regularly fights mobsters and low level demons and she does get hurt and almost killed against those sometimes. If they made her too powerful, then her setting would be turned upside down.
     
    2-Because the Darkness doesn't' work like the witchblade. The Darkness is sentient primordial force that just uses the Estacado family as their physical Avatar, it doesn't really need them and it can act without them, it can also take away that power from the current Estacado to receive them, for example in Broken Trinity, The Darkness got angry at Jackie, so he took away his powers, and in First Born, the Darkness manifested before Patience (the Magdalena) without Jackie's knowledge or consent. In effect the Estacado lines are just tools and slaves that will eventually just serve as physical bodies for the Darkness to manifest.  If the true Darkness (the cosmic force) wants his avatar to receive more power he'll get, if he doesn't sucks to be that Estacado.
     
    The Witchblade on the other hand works different, it's a weapon the wielder has to master. It's maximum potential has never been revealed but it makes sense because no wielder has ever lived long enough to completely understand it or master it.

    No, they don't live forever, thankfully, unless the Darkness wants them to. But whenever the current avatar has sex and conceives a male heir, unless the Darkness decides otherwise, the vessel is screwed when the male heir reaches the age of 21 because the power passes on to the next in line, killing the previous one (again, unless the Darkness decides otherwise).
     
    Really... receiving the power of the Darkness is not a good thing, you're screwed either way. If you refuse to serve the entity empowering you, it will take your power away, make sure you die in a horrible manner then pass on the curse to the next ost suitable vessel of the Estacado line. If you do serve, then you either live as long as you suit it's needs better then the next in line or die as soon as your first son reaches 21 and the Darkness hands the power to the next person in the bloodline.
     
    The Darkness entity is a jerk.

    That's the whole point of why it was created and a big part of the reasons the events in Broken Trinity and War of the Witchblades transpired like they did.
