Powers:
The full extent of Apollyon's powers are unknown. It is believed that she does possess the potential to unleash mass destruction on a global scale. Apollyon can apparently cause the death of anyone she touches, but this is an apparently controllable power. She can shake a person's hand with no effect one moment and then kill them with the next touch. Apollyon is often clothed in what seems to be a living entity. This "clothing" may actually be part of Apollyon herself, because it possesses the ability to kill with a touch as well. The "clothing" can also change it's configuration, most commonly a sleek formal "dress" but has been observed becoming and skin tight body suit encasing Apollyon's entire body. The "dress" form of the living clothing is based with a web of tentacles which is Apollyon's primary form of locomotion. The living "clothing" can also create tentacles that can attack or defend Apollyon. Apollyon (and the living clothing) can reanimate the dead. These reanimated corpses are controlled by Apollyon by some unknown means. Apollyon also has incredible strength, speed, agility and stamina.

Apollyon is has been witnessed not using her more fantastical powers and instead engaging in hand-to-hand combat. Here she was observed to have no particular skill but simply relies on her incredible strength, speed, agility and stamina to defeat her opponent.

Weaknesses:
Apollyon has no known weaknesses, but has been observed to not enjoy the presence of religious symbols. She has also been observed refusing to enter religious areas or buildings and supposedly weakened if she does enter these places. Also religious terms and quotations such as prayers and incantations have been observed affecting Apollyon. There is no singular religion that seems to have a hold over her. She has been affected by Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Buddhist, Shintoism and even Native American symbolism and invocations. But it is believed whomever attempts to use confront Apollyon must have true faith or no matter what religion they rely upon their attempt will fail.

is the model for her face. Here is the photo I primarily used:

this is dope as hell. needs some solar symbolism in there. appolyon was the name fro apollo, also abbadon. also phaeton/helios/sol etc. i dont have the problem w u showin his female side, but we need some symbolism. the female side would best be known as kali/hecate i guess.

vigilantebt [2009-04-06 05:13:25 +0000 UTC]

Wow! The detail in this piece is phenomenal. I also love the potential conflict that exists with her purpose possibly being obsolete (as you suggested in an earlier response)yet she continues to execute it. Is she "evil" because she continues to do what she was meant to do? Or is she just a being that desperately does not want to become irrelevant? Piqued my interest anyway!

You could go in any number of directions with her I think and it would work. Any way you choose, the protagonists of The Jungle will have their hands full dealing with her!

Sumo0172 In reply to thelearningcurv [2009-04-06 04:32:16 +0000 UTC]

yup. my sister(as well as numerous recent movies) sort of gave me the idea of a "messenger of God" or angel being "evil". think of it like this if the 4 Horseman of the Apocalypse are following God's plan are they "evil". Apollyon(at least she believes) is doing what she was put here to do, problem is maybe she is not supposed to be doing it now. point being she may not be "evil" cuz what is "evil"?
