[quote="Mr. Cryptic"]CL - I'm posting every two weeks. I'm working furiously to get IVI #2 up on Thursday (and VC#30 up on Saturday at MC Comix).
Ishtar's garments also give her a boost in will. Ishtar has more willpower than American Goddess. Ishtar has a very high level of willpower, but she needs a lot of will to control her prana energy. That's pretty much her only weakness, but it's a substantial one. If she's expecting an attack, she can use her magic to make herself almost invincible. If she's caught by surprise, like by Soveriegn in Victory City #19-20 or Prospero in Adventures of Ishtar #2, then she's much more vulnerable. She needs to make love to maintain her energy, but she's completely vulnerable while doing so.[/quote]
Hello Mr. Cryptic, Thanks for answering my questions!! I don't know if i've said this to you before, but you always give outstanding answers!! They always make sense!! Your answers always give me an insight on your view on a story or character!! I didn't realize Ishtar needed a lot of willpower to control her prana energy!! Is that to focus on the task she's using her energy to do, like lifting a jet or using the ring or rod of Domination to control other!! Or does she need her strong willpower to keep from being overcome with desires, when using her prana energy??
Guess that what i've fail to understand when it come to Ishtar defeat at the hands of Lord Prospero, how really vulnerable she is when sex is used to defeat her, guess it is like kryptonite to her, like you once said. As Least for me, her battle with Prospero made me question her abilities, her willpower, her skill at using her powers, i just couldn't believe she could lose to a foe with very little magical powers and magical knowledge!! For a long time after that battle i wondered why everybody was in awe of Ishtar,as least how skilled Ishtar is at using her powers in battle, as well as how fast she thinks on her feet and how resouceful Ishtar is!! But the more i learn about how Ishtar powers work, i'm starting to understand that using sex against Ishtar is the best way to defeat her, It really is like kryptonite to her, if a villain knows how to use that weakness ,it's very hard to overpower her with physical force.!!
