A man born half vampire hunts the ones who made him, in a world that does not know they exist.
Released before the modern run of Marvel films began, and made without any intention of connecting to anything, this is an R-rated horror action film that happens to be based on a Marvel character.
It works because it commits: the world is grim, the rules of it are explained once and then obeyed, and the lead is unbothered by the audience’s approval.
Show detailsWhy it is in this guide at all
It belongs to no shared continuity, and for most of its life that was the end of the story. It is here because the character has since been announced for the connected films, and because a guide that only covers the connected films cannot explain where these characters came from.
Entries like this are marked as outside the shared continuity rather than left out, which is a deliberate choice: their separateness is itself information.
