Synopsis
  • 1785
  • reprinted from Marvel Tales #128
  • A one page analysis of what caused Dracula to become the cruel and sadistic man that he is today. It alludes to the time when a young Dracula was captured by the Turks and imprisoned. It suggests that the constant torture and confinement would snap his mind and cause him to become the twisted and sadistic person he is today.
  • Taking a flight back to Europe from L.A., Dracula finds himself caught in the middle of a hostage situation when a deranged passenger has taken one of the stewardesses hostage and threatens to destroy the plane with a bomb. Air traffic control has no choice to bow to the terrorists demands and allow the plane to take off for his intended destination: New York—where he intends to fly the plane until the fuel runs out and detonate his bomb and destroy them all in a blazing glory. Knowing that a flight to New York would put himself at risk of facing the sun, Dracula leaves his seat and attempts to stop the terrorist. The lord of vampires uses his hypnotic gaze to try and lull the hijacker, however this has no effect and Dracula is forced to physically deal with his captor. In the scuffle the bomb drops and it goes off, the resulting explosion makes the plane crash. Rescue crews arrive on the scene quickly and take Dracula and the other survivors to a nearby hospital. When they attempt to operate on Dracula, the vampire lord awakens and fights off his attackers. Insulted that they would feed him blood with an IV drip, Dracula feeds upon one of the nurses and flees the hospital. On his way out he comes across the man who hijacked the plane who is about to be treated by the doctors as well. Recognizing the madman, Dracula decides to get his revenge by giving the man exactly what he wanted: a spectacular death. Taking him away to the nearby mountains, Dracula would feed upon him and return him to the hospital three days later after the man has transformed into a vampire. Being taken out into the sun for the first time since the experience, the unknown terrorist suddenly bursts into flames and disintegrates into a skeleton upon contact with the sunlight, much to the horror of the hospital staff.
