Khiron

*"You were **right**, big brother -- about everything but **one!** I'm **already** corrupted -- too **evil** to **live** --"*
―Victor Strange
**Victor Strange** was the younger brother of Doctor Stephen Strange who inadvertently turned him into a vampire in an attempt to restore him back to life. After being forced to fight his brother by Karl Mordo, Victor attempted to use his powers to become a crime fighter under the name of **Khiron** but after nearly killing an innocent man, he chose instead to take his own life rather than risk hurting another innocent.

## Biography

### Early Life

*"So now you know. Dr Strange, Sorcerer Supreme -- caused his own brother's death!"*
―Stephen Strange
Several years younger than his surgeon brother Stephen, Victor Strange grew up on his family's Nebraskan farm. Angered at his arrogant sibling's lads of familial contact after he left home to study medicine, when Stephen failed to turn up at their father's funeral, Victor, now 20, dropped out of college and confronted him in New York. Finding Stephen with his latest sexual conquest, Victor angrily stormed off, only to be immediately run down. A distraught Stephen pronounced him dead, but to assuage his own guilt, arranged for experimental cryogenic freezing, hoping medical science might one day revive Victor, and stored his capsule in a warehouse.

### It's in the Blood...

*"It was **you**, wasn't it? You trailed me back here from New Orleans -- freed me from whatever kind of trance Stephen put me in -- so that I attacked that woman outside Stephen's place -- maybe even **killed** her!"*
―Victor Strange
Later, having become a sorcerer, Stephen tried reviving his brother by reciting partially understood spells from the Book of the Vishanti; unwittingly using the Vampiric Verses, he transformed Victor into a vampire. At some point later, the electricity supply to Victor's warehouse was cut off and he awoke from his capsule confused and amnesiac. Karl Mordo, searching for a means to get the better of Strange, summoned Victor to New Orleans. His memories slowly returning, Victor refused to feed on Mordo's captive and escaped to search for his brother. Stephen was shocked to learn of Victor's condition, and sought to cure him, but Mordo took control of Victor again. Dubbing Victor Baron Blood after another vampire of that name, they travelled to Haiti, where Stephen and his allies freed him. Victor remained angry at Stephen for making him undead, but nevertheless helped him when needed.

### Blood Will Tell!

*"You're **wrong** -- **wrong!** I'm a **hero!** You made me a vampire -- but I made **myself** a hero!"*
―Victor Strange
At first suicidal, Victor moved in with Stephen's ally Morgana Blessing, becoming her lover. Seeking purpose in his existence and a way of feeding his hunger other than draining Morgana, Victor became a lethal crime-fighter, draining muggers in Central Park. When Stephen showed Victor that his victims were arising undead, a chastised Victor destroyed his progeny. Though tensions eased between the siblings, Victor continued his nocturnal crime-fighting. Renaming himself Khiron, Victor refused to stop hunting, targeting criminals who had previously evaded him. He ignored Morgana's fears he would slay an innocent, leading them to break up. Stephen, in the body of Wong, confronted Victor; realizing his latest prey was a victim of mistaken identity, Victor staked himself rather than risk hurting another innocent.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

*"I turned my own brother... into a blood-sucking vampire!"*
―Stephen Strange
Victor Strange possessed the typical powers associated with vampires, although to a greater degree than most:

* **Superhuman Strength:** Like all vampires, Victor was superhumanly strong. He was roughly a dozen times stronger than a human being.
* **Superhuman Durability:** Victor possessed superhuman durability. Knifes and bullets only caused surface injury.
* **Superhuman Speed:** Victor could run and move at speeds much greater than that of the finest human athlete.
* **Superhuman Stamina:** Victor's muscles produced considerably less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the muscles of a human being. He could exert himself at peak capacity for several hours before fatigue impaired him.
* **Superhuman Agility:** Victor's ability, balance, and body coordination were enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural limits of the human body.
* **Superhuman Reflexes:** Victor's natural reaction time was enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural limits of the human body.
* **Regenerative Healing Factor:** Victor was capable of healing injuries with much greater speed and efficiency than an ordinary human. He could heal from injuries such as multiple bullet wounds within a few hours. However, he was not capable of regenerating missing limbs or organs.
* **Immortality:** Like all vampires, regular ingestion of fresh blood rendered Victor immune to the effects of aging as well as immunity to all known Earthly diseases and infections.
* **Fangs:** Like all vampires, Victor had fangs and claws. He could quickly drain a victim of blood.
* **Shapeshifting:** Like all vampires, Victor could shapeshift and was shown to be able to transform into a bat.
