Friends call her Vampi, mother calls her Iubit. A gifted selfless hero who nonetheless struggles to meet rent every month. She’s clever and subversive, with a restless desire to avenge the victimized.

In addition to all you know so far,  Vampirella must live with the painful memory that she was created by her mother Lilith as a “substitute”  for the daughter she lost, stolen by the demon Belial. Lilith created Vampirella in the image of  Draculina, her lost child, a virtual twin, in an effort to lure Belial out of his wandering through time and space. The tactic worked, but Draculina, ironically, became trapped inside a dimensional portal and became lost somewhere in time..

Nevertheless, Vampirella possesses a range of astonishing superpowers: She has incredible tonner-level strength, highly acrobatic maneuverability, sees in total darkness, is veritably ageless, has wolf-like hearing, reads emotions through scent; heals quickly; has a hypnotic stare that can manipulate people’s wills; and last, but not least, she can grow huge bat wings for flight, and even shapeshift, but at great cost of her physical well-being.

She’s also playful with a wit as sharp as her fangs, managing to quip on the twisted side in the darkest of situations, perhaps a given from someone who’s been to hell and back (literally), and then some.
