Character page for the DC vs. Vampires comic books.
An Alternate Universe version of The DCU, boasting unique versions of its characters:
Diana of Themsycira is the princess of the Amazons of Paradise Island. Sculpted from clay by her mother with the power of various Greek deities, she arrives at Man's World and becomes the superheroine Wonder Woman.
Diana's life follows a similar path to that of her main universe counterpart until the vampires decide to open their invasion by infiltrating the superhero community, with their leader deciding to attack the Justice League...
- Born of Magic: Like her original self, but unlike many of her modern incarnations and Alternate Universe counterparts, this Diana seems to be explicitly born of clay, as she cheekily references.Constantine: Bloody hell, woman, what are you made of... Concrete?Diana: It's clay, if you must know, but I'm a bit prickly about it.
- Supernatural Floating Hair: After being turned into a vampire (and not having to pretend being mortal anymore) her hair seems to be constantly floating, befitting her undead nature.
Kara-El is Superman's cousin from the planet Krypton. A fellow survivor of that planetary catastrophe, she arrives on Earth later than Kal-El and becomes the superheroine Supergirl.
Kara's life follows a similar path to that of her main universe counterpart until the night the vampires block out the sun. Now progressively without allies and increasingly weaker, Kara chooses to go on a desperate mission to bring sunlight back to the Earth.
- Adaptation Name Change: A subtle example, in the main continuity, Kryptonian women use their father's full name as their surname while men only use the family name, thus Supergirl is named Kara Zor-El while Superman is just Kal-El. In this version, it seems that women use their family name only as well, thus she's just called Kara-El.
- All-Loving Hero: Even a year into the Vampire reign, Kara still tries to reason before fighting, preferring to make an alliance with Lobo or even telling her former friends to fight the vampirism. Despite her power loss, she's still determined to help anybody she finds and bases her goals on what she thinks will benefit everybody. That doesn't mean she'll hesitate to fight if it's to protect others, however.
- Last Of Her Kind: Beyond her usual standards, even. By the second half of the series, Superman and Power Girl have been vampirized, Superboy is dead and apparently, so are the Kandorians, thus seemingly making her the last living Kryptonian in the Universe.
Zan is a member of The Justice League initially from the planet Exxor. He’s half of the brother-sister team The Wonder Twins (alongside their pet monkey, Gleek).
Zan’s life presumably is similar to that of his main universe counterpart, though it diverges when vampires crop up, trying to wage a secret war on humanity.
- Bequeathed Power: Albeit posthumously, Zan’s twin sister, Jayna, ends up developing his hydrokinesis powers in addition to her animal morphing.
- Cruel and Unusual Death: On the receiving end of one when Hal Jordan traps him in a blender construct and turns him into a gory smoothie.
- Dude, Where's My Respect?: A lighter example in this universe (especially compared to other iterations) since Zan is only around so briefly. When mentioning to Andrew Bennett that he’s a member of The Justice League, Hal’s quick to respond with a curt “sort of”.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: If Zan hadn’t mentioned that the other Justice League members were around, who knows? Maybe they would’ve found out about the vampire invasion early from Andrew Bennett and been able to prevent it.
- We Hardly Knew Ye: Zan only appears in Issue #1 of DC vs. Vampires for a few pages, finding Hal Jordan and Andrew Bennett in the Hall of Justice’s medical bay. It's not long after his introduction though that he’s swiftly killed off.
