YMMV / I, Vampire

• Hilarious in Hindsight: Andrew mocks Mary's idea of a vampire all-out attack, saying that she and her army are completely out-classed by the myriad of metahumans that populate the DCU. He specifically namedrops Superman, Green Lantern and Wonder Woman as people who'd kill them in a straight fight. In the DC vs. Vampires miniseries, the new King seemingly agrees with him, because after killing Mary, he decides to infiltrate the superhuman community instead, turning many heroic and villanous metahumans into vampires. As a result, his plans are much more succesful. For bonus points, Andrew himself is killed by a vampiric Green Lantern and Wonder Woman and Superman are later turned as well.
• Magnificent Bitch: Mary the Queen of Blood was born Mary Seward before being turned by her lover Andrew Bennett. Happily embracing her vampiric urges, Mary spends years plotting and building her forces until she initiates a ruthlessly brilliant gambit that nearly sees the vampires take over the entire world in a single day, before manipulating and playing Andrew as well. When her plans are thwarted, Mary ends up depowered and returned to human form before getting her drive back to stop the corrupted Andrew before he destroys the world, even using her death to become a powerful supernatural being that ends up saving the world and achieving redemption in the afterlife. As Mary herself says "being a vampire gave me powers. Being me made me awesome."
