Vampirella is a superheroic vampire whom both the Magdalena and Jackie Estacado have encountered and worked with. She met Patience while they were both hunting a symbiotic vampire trying to steal the Darkness from Jackie.
Biography[]
Meeting Patience[]
Vampirella was tracking a symbiotic vampire in hiding at a mental hospital, nicknamed the Swarm. She encountered the Magdalena Patience during that time and they began working together to capture, question, and kill the Vampire. At some point, they realized what he was after: the Darkness.
Encounter with Jackie Estacado[]
Vampirella tracked Jackie down to where he was relaxing at an Italian dinner called Enrico's. She kept watch of him, while at the same time he kept watch of her. After he left, Vampirella fallowed him until he grabbed her and restrained her in an ally. She bit his hand and freed herself, though she also commented that his blood was foul and tasted "like Hell" (due to the garlic from his dinner). She explained about the Vampire that was after him, though he mostly ignored this. She then kicked Jackie in his groin and left.
As Jackie was killing a mobster, Vampirella kept watch while sitting on the hood of his car. She then followed him to a strip club, called Rick's Southside. There she sensed the Vampire and jumped on stage and seduced he Vampire before kicking him in the face. The vampire shrugged off the attack and tossed Vampirella halfway across the club and right onto Jackie.
As Jackie summoned the Darkness to kill the vampire, Vampirella made her way out of the club and onto the roof of a nearby building. She and Patience watched in the shadows as Jackie left the club, during which time she recalled how he felt he was a scared child that she could have helped, though she simply pushed this to the back of her mind as Jackie walked off.
Powers & Abilities[]
Powers[]
- Vampire Physiology: Vampirella wields the basic powers of vampirism; supernatural strength and speed, heightened senses such as wolf-like hearing and seeing in the dark, as well as agelessness and an accelerated healing factor making her effectively immortal so long as her head and heart are intact.
- Telepathy: She was able to hear Jackie's Darkling's telepathic voices inside Jackie's mind.
- Hypnosis: She is able to influence or even control the minds of humans and other creatures(particularly males). This is usually, but not always, achieved through eye contact. She often uses her beauty and sexuality to facilitate the process with men.
- Immunity to Sunlight: Unlike normal undead vampires, Vampirella is not harmed by sunlight, because she is a living vampire not undead. Vampirella was born a vampire, instead of being born a human then dying and being turned into a vampire.
Weaknesses[]
Vampirella is immune to many of the inherent weaknesses of Vampires except for the following:
- Impalement: She can be killed by being impaled by any object through her heart.
- Decapitation: She can be killed by having her head removed.
