The Witchblade is a male entity of both light and dark which represents both order and chaos. It is the offspring of the primal forces of the universe
The Darkness and
The Angelus and therefore acts as a balance between the two entities. The Witchblade is semi-organic because of the genetic structures of his parents, a union of the genes of The Darkness and The Angelus resulted in the creation of this semi-organic entity. Because of its semi-organic structure it is able to create a
symbiote-like bond with a host. "According to one of TV episodes the Witchblade was made out of root from the Tree of Good and Evil."
The Witchblade was discovered in modern times in Greece by
Kenneth Irons, but before he found it, it had many hosts. When not in use, the Witchblade can look like an ornate, jewel-encrusted, right-handed gauntlet or bracelet so it doesn't draw much attention. When wielded by an unworthy user, that person will lose their arm. It forms a
symbiote-like relationship with its host, who can hear the Witchblade. When used, it expands across the body of the host, often shredding clothes and covering the body in semi-organic armor. The amount and coverage of the armor depends on the level of the threat. For example, when facing mortals, it will usually generate less armor than when facing a demon of hell. This armor can produce extensions of itself that can form swords, other stabbing weapons, hooks, chains, shields, and wings, enabling the wielder to fly. It may also become temperamental if the host chooses not to use it. When wielded, it can shoot energy blasts from the hand or sword, fire projectile darts, and whip-like grapples to attack or to climb. The Witchblade is also an excellent lock pick, and can heal wounds, even mortal ones. The Witchblade can re-animate the dead, empathically show the host scenes of great trauma, and allow the host to relive experiences from past hosts as dreams. Now more versions of the WitchBlade have been created. After the last witchblade bearer stopped hundreds of iWeapons and sacrificed herself, things seemed fine at first but then more Ex-Cons showed up killing random people. A new company has been making advanced Ex-con like machines but quickly lost control of them. The company calls these new Ex-Cons, Neocons. The only difference is that Neocons are smarter than Ex-cons and are not always out to kill. But the company needs all of them dead or brought back to them. Will the new witchblade bearers appear and will the last of the Neogenes be able to stop the threat?
