Since before the debut of Marvel Comics, as fans know it today, Dracula has terrorized the realm of comics. Unsurprisingly, the forms in which the Lord of Vampires has appeared over more than seventy years have changed along with the Marvel Universe as a whole. Now, Miguel O’Hara, better known as the Spider-Man of 2099, has given readers a glimpse into what the future holds for the vampires of his world, and it may very well have just as serious of implications for the vampires of the present Marvel Universe as it does for those yet to come.After receiving a distress signal from Khonshu’s temple on the surface of the Moon, the titular hero of Miguel O’Hara: Spider-Man 2099 #2 (by Steve Orlando, Michael Dowling, Jim Campbell, and VC’s Cory Petit) makes the trek through space to check up on his old ally. Instead of a false alarm, Spider-Man finds a Moon Knight on the verge of death courtesy of a gruesome attack carried out by none other than Dracula himself. Though Spider-Man and the rest of the world believed the Lord of Vampires to be long gone after sacrificing himself to save his fellow vampires from a brazen attack carried out by human zealots, the latter has been resurrected after decades of slumbering in a coffin lined with native soil. Now, Dracula is out for revenge, and every single human on Earth is in his sights. Or rather, they would be if not for Spider-Man taking Dracula down long enough to give him a much-needed lesson in how vampires have moved on in the years since his death, and their far-off future could be a road map for the very near future of the primary Marvel Universe.In truth, these visions were planted by Varnae, the ancient former Darkholder who would be transformed into the very first vampire nearly twenty thousand years prior. For whatever reason, Varnae saw great potential in Dracula, so much so that he orchestrated the future Lord of Vampires’ creation, all in the hopes of providing himself with a rightful heir. Over the centuries that followed, Varnae’s assumptions largely proved right, as Dracula consistently posed a threat to the world’s human populace from the shadows, rarely letting any real knowledge of himself or those who held it escape his grasp. Still, Dracula would face numerous foes who were just as much of a problem for him as he was for anyone else, ranging from the ancient sorcerer Cogliostro to the Sorcerer Supreme and, more importantly, Marvel’s very own resident Daywalker.
