Emma is the opposite of a devourer
She's A Lifebringer
I love people figuring out that they can just loophole abuse Isca's powers because she has absolutely zero control over herself when theyre being used. Shes like a reverse Darwin: she always wins, but the way she wins can be exploited.
Isca keeps taking well deserved Ls.
Wasn’t the current Idyll a female ?!
I haven't been following Isca, so I'm not sure I get what's happening here. So I'm going to summarize what I'm seeing, please correct me if I'm wrong.
Isca's power is to always be on the winning team. So Nightcrawler straight-up murders her and mocks her as she dies. Now that she's dead, she can't be on any side.
Not Quite.
As far as I understand Isca's powers, she cannot be beaten. Her physical and mental capabilities, as well as the laws of probability, all bend towards ensuring that she comes out ahead in any challenge, contest, or conflict. She could likely defeat the Hulk in a contest of Strength, Quicksilver in a contest of Speed, or Reed Richards in a contest of Intellect. Even in large scale conflicts like a battle or war that cannot be won individually, she will simply switch allegiances to be on the "winning" side.
However, as recently demonstrated,, she has shown a weaknesses for trickery. What Nightcrawler is doing now, and what Sunspot has done before, is manipulating Isca into a contest where she technically "wins" an inconsequential or hollow victory, while losing out on a broader scale. It's pretty much the only way to write an "Always Wins" power with any degree of dramatic tension.
She doesn't die here (she still has more story to tell), but it is satisfying to see a character that has been presented as frustratingly arrogant and overconfident get taken down a peg.
