Ian Nottingham - Powers and Abilities

Powers and Abilities

At one point in the comic story line, Nottingham attained the powers of both The Witchblade and The Darkness thanks to his body and soul being "built" to absorb and unify mass quantities of mystical power and essences, whether voluntarily or not. He later became the wielder of Excalibur (a sentient weapon, and the male half of The Witchblade).

Even before he acquired other powers, he displayed superhuman abilities such as cutting cars in half with his sword and catching bullets in his hands. Nottingham has above average intelligence and has enhanced speed and strength. He is also an accomplished martial artist and swordsman; his preferred weapon is a katana—and he has had Black Operation training. Issue #8 of Witchblade, Destiny's Child: Witchblade and Witchblade 1/2 make references to his talent as an accomplished pianist, fluency in several languages and a self-taught medic.

    No passion so effectually robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear.
    Edmund Burke (1729–1797)

    Who can measure the advantages that would result if the magnificent abilities of these women could be devoted to the needs of government, society and home, instead of being consumed in the struggle to obtain their birthright of individual freedom? Until this be gained we can never know, we can not even prophesy the capacity and power of women for the uplifting of humanity.
    Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
