Black Superhero: Bloodstorm


Blood Storm is an alternate universe version of Storm that remains much the same with a few major differences taking place. Her backstory is mostly the same and can be read here if you're not familiar with Storm, which you should be. Bloodstorm first appeared when Havoc was transported to an alternate dimension where he met a version of The X-Men who were all different in some way.

The major difference in Storm's backstory here is that she was kidnapped by Dracula after joining the X-Men. Dracula found her beauty and power to be unrivaled and wished to make her into his latest bride. Although she fought he managed to bite her and begin the process of turning her into a vampire.

Storm was hesitant to kill and relied on her fiance Forge for food. Forge would allow Storm to feed on him so she wouldn't have to hurt others. When Forge was weak Kitty Pryde would also allow Storm to feed on her. However, Kitty viewed Storm as a mother figure and eventually decided she'd rather see her dead. Kitty attempted to kill Storm but she was easily outclassed and became Storm's first murder.

During a mission in New Orleans, Storm met Gambit who was the leader of The Thieves Guild alongside his wife Bella Donna. Eventually Gambit switched sides and joined with the X-Men. However, he was injured and near death during combat. He begged Storm to make him into a vampire so that he wouldn't die. She did so and then he acted disgusted that she actually did it and ran away from the team. Feeling like Outcast Storm and Forge left the team.

They returned when Havoc formed his own group known as The Six where they became founding members. Initially the team didn't work well together but they managed to overcome once Goblin Queen took control of their minds and forced them to work for her as criminals. Eventually they were able to break free from her control. The team went through a rough patch but eventually reconciled and decided their goal would be to protect mutants from their oppressors, who were Nick Fury and SHIELD in this reality.

On one occasion she took on the leader of The Outsiders, a group similar to The Morlocks from the main Marvel Universe. She had initially gone there to save some captured friends but saw that they were essentially living as slaves to their leader. She was successful in freeing them and was declared to be their new leader.

Eventually Havoc and Beast worked together to create a serum that would help fight Storm and Gambit's need for blood. While they were no longer weak to sunlight and didn't need blood to survive they still craved it and had to fight the blood lust. This came shortly before Dracula reawakened and caused a massive conflict in this universe. During the battle Storm was able to sneak up and stake him from behind, finally killing him.

She was next seen being pulled to an alternate universe to be recruited as one of it's heralds. The Heralds were a team of heroes that had been pulled from alternate dimensions. There they learn they were summoned by Earth X. The entire planet had become alive due the celestials impregnating it with DNA. Don't ask questions you'll be more confused. She was teamed with other heroes like Arno Stark who had become Iron Man, Hyperion who was an old man now and Wolverine from the Days of Future Past universe. They were promised whatever their wish was if they could complete the mission.

The mission was to warn other worlds where the Celestials were planning to impregnate planets. Storm was paired with Arno and sent to a world where everyone was a vampire. Their mission was to find Reed Richards and deliver the warning. Reed who has always been the extremist was extra extreme in this situation. He dropped a bomb into the Earth's core and destroyed it before any other worlds could become completely vampiric.

When the team returned each member was indeed granted their dreams. Storm was sent to another universe (9997) where King Britain married Medusa. During the reception she met Storm and Black Panther who were married in this universe. T'Challa theorized that a blood transfusion from their Storm would cure her of her vampirism. The operation was successful and she was cured.
