Bloodstorm

Real Name: Ororo Munroe
Affiliation: The Six
Previous Affilations: X-Men
Status: Undead
Aliases: Storm
Relatives: David (father, deceased), N'Dare (mother, deceased), Dracula (creator, undead)
Powers: Much like our universe's Storm, Bloodstorm has control over all forms of weather. Her history matches that of our Storm as well, up until the point where she was bitten by Dracula and turned into a full-fledged vampire. She ended up in an abandonded castle where she met Forge, who had made anti-mutant weapons for the government, but was captured by vamps and used for feeding them. Ororo was tracked by Kitty Pryde, who intended to kill her, but hesitated in the crucial moment. The shock of Kitty's attack at first brought Storm's persona back, but then the vampire took over and bit Kitty. It is unclear whether Ororo converted Kitty into a vampire. It does not appear to be so, but Kitty was forced into some sort of servitude, possibly due to hypnosis, from which she later escaped. Kitty's service included taking care of Forge, who allowed his vampire lover to feed off him so that she won't have to kill anyone.
As a vampire Bloodstorm maintained her weather powers, and gained the additional abilities of turning her body into mist, a bat and a wolf and mentally controlling lower animals, such as rats and mice. Apparently, Ororo once tried to return to the X-Men after her transformation, and while they were willing to accept her, she could not bear to remain. She then left the X-Men and was not seen until she returned to become the final member of the Six, which as X-Factor, had split off from Magneto and the X-Men some time before. During that time she became partners with Gambit, the two of them specializing in difficult thievery. On one mission, Gambit was fatally wounded by The Fallen, and he begged Ororo to save him by turning him into a vampire. She complied, but the decision still haunts her. When the Goblin Queen took over New York, Bloodstorm fell under her control and was sent to retrieve Scotty Summers. After the defeat of the Goblin Queen, however, Bloodstorm returned to what passes for normal for her. Later on, Bloodstorm (and Gambit) were given a serum prepared by the Brute (before he lost his intelligence the second time) that allowed them to control the bloodlust and withstand the sun.

In the final battle against the Beyonder and Dracula, Bloodstorm played a crucial role when she staked her sire Dracula, preventing him from killing the super-beings who were powering up Havok in his fight against the Beyonder.
