See that's fun. I don't understand the hate Jubilee gets. She's a fun character and writers like to wear her 80s goofiness on her sleeve. That's neat.

Sorry for being so vague, but I recall a really old Blade comic where some guy was trying to replace Dracula as top vampire. Blade pulls some trick where he traps the other guy behind running water, and Drac pulls a fade while thinking,"Lol that loser doesn't even know what vampire weaknesses are and he wants to replace ME!?!  "

All I know about Marvel Dracula is that one anime OVA Chip and Ironicus riffed on, which looks like a totally normal if fairly 80s 'modern day people deal with Dracula' story until Dracula's son is inexplicably wearing a superhero costume. That poo poo was weirdly good, honestly.

Because nine times out of ten people think you're talking about the boring, lovely Jubilee who added nothing and in fact was detrimental to getting poo poo done in the 90s cartoon show, and then they go "why would you make that lovely character a vampire?" without understanding the other changes, such as the depowering. Thus the "hurf durf spark shooting vampire is dumb"

That is a compressed adaptation of Tomb of Dracula, and unfortunately focuses more on the goofier later stories.

My favorite Marvel Dracula was when he fought the X-Men. Kitty held up a cross to him and Dracula just says it doesn't work because "you are no Christian, you are a Herbrew!" Then lunges at her throats and gets burned by her Star of David necklace. I think hat was the first X-Men comic I actually owned.

Don't forget the bit where Wolverine makes a cross with a couple of his claws and Drac just sneers at him because he doesn't believe in it. Nightcrawler turns out to be rather more effective in the faith department though.

I remember borrowing this collected edition from the library when I was probably, like, six or seven. I thought it was a graphic novel version of the old Bela Lugosi movie and got confused as gently caress.

Do Marvel vamps have a silver weakness? Otherwise I'd be more impressed by Werewolf By Night tackling SS.

Pastry of the Year posted:Vampires actually rule, when they're done right. Dracula was a Doom-level threat in the MU before Dr. Strange destroyed him and every other vampire on Earth with the Montesi formula (I have no idea how Dracula et al came back from that). IIRC there was a thing during a Blade solo series back in the mid 00s where he got tricked into reversing the spell bringing every vampire who ever lived back to life (including Dracula.)

Yeah, I'd actually be on board with flashy sparkling vampire Jubilee. Although on that note I'm slightly surprised she's still being called Jubilee, my cynical comic-reading mind would have expected her to take a more vampiric sobriquet, like NIGHTBLOOD or BLOODNIGHT or POUCHFANG. Then I have the vague recollection that maybe her name was literally Jubilation Lee? Maybe?

There's a panel in early Gen X where they show her and Mondo and the descriptive box says they might eventually become the most powerful mutants ever, and I swear to god I still have no idea what Mondo's powers are aside from being surrounded by rainbows and if he gets too close to the latino guy with stretchy skin they melt into each other.

She's not going to sulk and get broody because she's a vampire, being a vampire is loving awesome! Plus, she had Wolverine supplying her with blood and that's gotta have a real good kick to it. Seriously, read the issues of X-23 where her and Jubilee are hanging out, it's good stuff. (also read x-23, it was really good)

The guy with the rainbows was Sync(h?), who could take on the powers of mutants near him. Mondo was the barely-used Hawaiian guy who could absorb things.

The best non-Jubilee vampire storyline remains Captain Britain and MI-13. Crossposting from the badass thread (where it got lost amongst Hercules dick-punching Galactus). DigitalRaven posted:So lots of people are talking about Marvel vampires in the funny panels thread, but this doesn't fit over there.
