Superhero Question
Sep. 5th, 2010 04:47 pmHas there ever been a vampire superhero, male or female?
ETA: I don't mean Blade. I'm thinking of a regular "superhero" who uses their vampire skills instead of "powers". ;)
ETA 2: Thanks,
switch842. :)
Follow-Up: Have looked at manga's Hellsing, so this Alucard character qualifies as a "superhero". There was a woman named Looker, part of The Outsiders (with Batman), but after reading about her character, I found her to be the lamest "vampire" I've ever read about. Still, she qualifies as a "superhero". There's also Lord Andrew Bennett, or I ... Vampire, a DC character whose best pals at one time were Hawkman and Hawkwoman. He's one of those "I hate being a vampire" vampires and has the traditional vampiric "powers" and weaknesses. At one point, he turned villain, aiding bad guys intent on destroying the universe. Helluva turnaround.
Anyways, my thanks. :) My interest here is to see if there's been any kind of vampire superhero like the one I've been dreaming up for the last two years or so. Answer: nope. Awesome. Now I just have to do something about it. ;)
