HERO HISTORY: Dracula

Or – “He Doesn’t Even Drink…  Wine.”

In the years since 1938 (technically even earlier, given the existence of The Scarlet Pimpernel, Zorro, the Green Hornet and others who predate the technical era of the Superman) there have been hundreds upon hundreds of publishers that create comic book adventures, with hundreds of THOUSANDS of characters involved.  In all that time, there have been more than a few heroes whose existence is due mostly to bad ideas, high concept or some sort of drugs.  In the case of today’s Hero History entrant, a strong case can be made for all three.  His powers are unique, to say the least, his costume not-so-very fearsome, and his code-name?  Well, it’s a long story.  Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages…  sit right back and you’ll hear a tale of a man fighting to overcome his family’s legacy of evil and forge a new path to greatness.  This, then, is your Major Spoilers Hero History of Aloyisius Ulysses Card of Transylvania, who took his ancestor’s name in his heroic identity of…  DRACULA!
