Baroness Blood

Baroness Blood is a vampire villain who debuted in Marvel's The New Invaders, opposing that team of wartime heroes in a modern context. She carries the legacy of the Blood lineage of Marvel vampires, wielding the supernatural menace associated with that bloodline.

A creature of darkness born into the Modern Age of Marvel, Baroness Blood made her chilling debut in The New Invaders #3 in 2004, the creation of writer Allan Jacobsen and artist C. P. Smith. Her presence was notable enough to earn entries in Marvel's Official Handbook volumes — always a mark of a character who left an impression — and she shares her pages with a genuinely eclectic cast including Lily Cromwell, Meranno, and Apache Kid. Rare and mysterious with only a handful of catalog appearances, Baroness Blood is precisely the kind of deep-cut Modern Age discovery that rewards the dedicated Marvel explorer.
