[Knight of Gondor]

I agree with the corrections of my fellow BDers, but I am wondering what exactly the definition of "powerful" is. Do we mean powerful, as in intrinsic strength of will and spirit? Do we mean powerful as in the spiritual/supernatural powers of those less mortal?

I ask because Elendil and Isildur are both mentioned, yet both of these are men. One of the only examples (in my mind, anyway) of either of these two exhibiting any power is Isildur cursing the folk of the mountain never to rest until they fulfilled their Oath. In which case, Aragorn must certainly be judged more hardy, than Isildur at least, because he refused the Ring, and held his companions to the Paths of the Dead, and commanded their allegiance to fulfill their oaths.
