## Summary

Born in 1430 AD as Vlad Tepes, **Dracula** was the soon-to-be heir of Wallachia. Having eventually usurped the throne from his father, Dracula attacked Turkey with a massive army, but despite winning the battle, Dracula was heavily wounded by Apocalypse. Lead to a healer to recover, Dracula found that his doctor was a vampire herself, and he was soon turned into another member of the undead.

Using his newfound powers to defeat Nimrod and drink the blood of Varnae, Dracula became the new Vampire Lord, granting him power beyond any other vampire. After that moment, Dracula spent his immortal life dueling with vampire hunters and superheroes across the world in an eternal attempt to expand his influence.

## Powers & Abilities

* **Superhuman Physiology**
* **Mind Manipulation:** Dracula had powerful hypnosis, allowing him to control people, rats, bats, and wolves. As Vampire Lord, he also had hypnotic control over vampires with lesser will than his own.

* **Traditional Vampiric Weaknesses**
	+ **Sunlight:** Dracula was weak to sunlight, and would die if exposed to it for too long.

	+ **Silver:** Silver, like garlic, would repel Dracula. A silver spear to the heart would kill him.
