How long is xena in callisto body

Both prey upon her deep-seated guilt at having let Callisto die, no matter how wicked she was. Xena's deeply disturbing visions awaken her every night as she and Gabrielle continue to pursue Callisto's evil lieutenant Theodorus. Determined to bring him and his men to justice, the two track Theodorus to a deserted village, where they arrive just in time to save the hapless Joxer from certain execution.

That night, an exhausted Xena is again visited in her dreams by Callisto, who beckons the warrior princess to follow her into the Underworld. There, she and Ares manipulate Xena into confessing that she is, in fact, guilty of Callisto's murder since she did nothing to save her. Xena's admission gives Callisto the split-second opening she needs to invade and inhabit Xena's body, banishing Xena's spirit to her own body imprisoned in Underworld.

Callisto, now looking and sounding like Xena, returns to the land of the living, prepared to wreak revenge on the Warrior Princess. She tells Gabrielle that Callisto, with Ares' help, has somehow come back and is on her way to Amphipolis, where she plans to kill Xena's mother, Cyrene.

Callisto's ultimate goal is to have Gabrielle kill Xena, believing her to be Callisto. Xena manages to persuade Hades of her real identity and the God of the Underworld releases her for one day so she can attempt to send Callisto back to Tartarus where she belongs.

Meanwhile, Callisto, disguised as Xena, taunts Gabrielle into learning some deadly fighting techniques using her staff as a pike. As the two set off for Amphipolis , Callisto lags behind and secretly wounds Argo so that Xena will have to put the horse down when she finds her.

Xena, however, arrives on the scene just in time to save her beloved animal. At the same time, Callisto reaches the temporary cave headquarters of Theodorus and his men. Posing as Xena, she slays Theodorus and commands his warriors to capture Amphipolis and bring all of its inhabitants to her. Xena soon approaches, accompanied by Joxer, who now knows her true identity. Darien Takle Cyrene as Cyrene. Lee-Jane Foreman Arleia as Arleia. Michael Cooper Gressius as Gressius. Gary Jones.

Reincarnation [ ] After her death, the Angel Xena encounters the demon Callisto upon her ascension into heaven. Callisto Callisto reformed as an Angel. Powers and Abilities [ ] Mortal Abilities [ ] As a mortal, Callisto had dedicated her life to becoming a strong enough warrior to eventually face Xena. Acrobatics: Her fighting style was much like Xena's, incorporating flips, jumps, and twists for better mobility. Agility: Callisto had quick reflexes, honed enough to catch and throw Xena's chakram and deflect many blows.

This skill seems to have been weakened after gaining her immortality and not needing to avoid injury anymore. Combat: Callisto was an exceptionally skilled martial combatant, though she tended to favor the sword or hand-to-hand combat. She was capable of going toe-to-toe with Xena, though in a prolonged fight, the latter's experience gives her a decided advantage. Callisto was also capable of catching Xena's chakram, something few others were able to do.

Emotional manipulation: Callisto had a knack for being able to get into the minds of her opponents to provoke or weaken them. She often used this skill to push Xena into fighting her, however, Callisto also used this to incapacitate many of her victims with fear. Stealth: She has been shown being able to sneak up on many opponents. In The Greater Good , Callisto was able to sneak past Xena's superhuman senses and hit her with a poison dart. Weaponry: Swords and daggers were Callisto's weapons of choice.

She was an excellent sword fighter, possibly equal to Xena in skill. Callisto had also been able to successfully wield the chakram, a skill she probably picked up from watching Xena, although it is unlikely she was able to use it with equal accuracy. Callisto has also been seen having impressive accuracy with other projectiles such as darts, daggers, and arrows. Immortal Abilities [ ] Immortality: After becoming immortal, Callisto effectively ceased to age and gained various new abilities, including an extremely potent healing factor and inexhaustible stamina.

This ability was limited, however, as being cut into pieces would keep her from healing. Fire was also able to scar her, and possibly do more damage if given the chance.

Goddess Abilities [ ] Energy projection: As a goddess, Callisto could form her divine powers into energy. After being hit with multiple arrows in Maternal Instincts , Callisto used this skill to expel all the arrows from her body and shoot them back to their sources.

She was also seen being able to create a ball of white-blue energy or fire in Sacrifice. Enhanced Senses: She was able to hear Xena's screams from far distances as seen in Maternal Instincts. Fire: Her pyromania was given an outlet through the ability to create fire. Of all her godly powers, this one seems to be Callisto's preferred element. She mainly used it to create streams or balls of fire which she throws at her enemies. They could range from powerful explosions to slight singes.

Many of her powers also took the form of fire, although this usually seemed aesthetic and didn't actually burn. Travel: In Maternal Instincts, Callisto seemed to have turned herself into fire to travel and burn everything in her way, before rematerializing in full form.

Lightning projection: One of Callisto's first powers that she used was the ability to shoot bolts of lightning in A Necessary Evil. The bolts seemed to be on par with other gods who used this skill such as Ares and Discord , but weaker than Zeus.

Regeneration: Her previous immortality and nigh invulnerability were dramatically magnified, as she survived being encased in tephra hardened lava for some time, and could not be killed by physical or most magical attacks, being vulnerable only to gods more powerful than herself. Unlike when she was only immortal, Callisto was able to regrow severed limbs and was resistant to fire as well. Shapeshifting: Callisto only showed a minor form of this ability when she transformed Hope's clothing to look like Gabrielle's.

It is assumed that she was also able to change her own appearance like other gods. Super strength: Like most gods, Callisto had extremely enhanced strength. This is seen when she hit Xena with the hilt of her sword and sent her flying in Sacrifice. Many of her punches are also accompanied with sparks or flashes of light, especially when fighting other gods.

Teleportation: The ability to instantly transport yourself and others from one place to another is held by every god. With Callisto, this takes form in a plume of flames. Telekinesis: To move things without touching them is another common godly ability. Callisto was shown being able to do this in Maternal Instincts. Demonic Abilities [ ] As a demon, Callisto lost most of her divine powers, but was still immortal, after a fashion, and had limited ability to manipulate the material plane, as long as she acted within the framework that Mephistopheles granted her.

Impervious and intangible: Callisto couldn't be affected by the living and so attacks would either bounce off her or move through her as if was a ghost. Super speed: She gained the ability to move at great speeds.

Teleportation: Although no longer in a plume of flames, Callisto was still able to appear instantly wherever she needed to be. Archdemonic Abilities [ ] As an Archdemon , Callisto was once again a powerful being with enhanced strength, deadly reflexes, and flight.

Demon physiology: Callisto's body was transformed into the beastly appearance of an archdemon. This gave her a wide range of new physical abilities. Claws: Callisto gained deadly claws, able to scratch and slash her enemies.

Flight: With a new pair of wings, Callisto gained the ability to fly weightlessly through the air. Hooves: She had powerful hooves that could deal strong kicks and crack the ground. Strength: As an archdemon, Callisto's strength returned to near or at the level she had when she was a goddess. Angelic Abilities [ ] As an angel, Callisto regained numerous divine powers, including the ability to heal and resurrect mortals when working through a proxy.

Divine knowledge: Angels seem to has access to certain knowledge that other do not. She knew about the plans for her own reincarnation, the whereabouts of the Dagger of Helios , and what Eli must do in the fight against the gods. Invisibility: Like many gods, Callisto as an angel, could choose when and to who she was visible. Reincarnation: Callisto was able to both immaculately impregnate Xena with her future body, and then later on, place her spirit in the unborn child to be reborn as Eve.

Healing: Xena's broken spine, as well as her damaged soul, was healed after being brought back to life. Teleportation: Callisto's ability to teleport has now been changed again to reflect her divine powers. She now appeared in rays of light, sometimes glowing with an angelic aura. Stewart settled in favor of Callisto. You created a monster with integrity, Xena.

Scary, isn't it? Xena struggles with guilt and remorse over her actions, and there are no easy answers to the moral quandary Callisto poses. If Xena frees Callisto, she will continue to kill. If she kills Callisto, then it reflects the failure of her own redemption. She ultimately attempts to imprison the other warrior, but Callisto breaks free and maliciously kills Gabrielle's husband. When Callisto falls into quicksand, Xena pulls back her hand and refuses to save her, but even in the underworld, Callisto and her embodiment of Xena's crimes still exist.

Thanks to a deal with Ares, she even takes over Xena's body for a time, and although Xena does win her way out of that predicament as well, it's obvious that Callisto's commitment to destroying everything the other woman loves has not waned and never will, even in death.

At first, Callisto makes it clear that she'd do anything to escape Tartarus, and even makes a deal with Hera to fight Hercules. This ends with her nearly achieving redemption, but Hercules returns to fight her without fully understanding her change of heart and thus brings her back into her prior state of rage. At one point, Xena also bargains with Callisto to help her fight the embittered Amazon-turned-immortal Velasca, cutting the ropes on them both when they lure each other into a fight on a bridge over lava.

Of course, this is yet still not the end of Callisto, and she returns in alliance with Gabrielle's demonic child, Hope.
