Vampire by Night first appeared in Amazing Fantasy vol. 2 #10 (September 2005) and was created by writer Jeff Parker and artist Federica Manfredi.

## Fictional character biography

[edit]

Nina Price is the niece of Jack Russell / Werewolf by Night and inherited a long-running familial lycanthropic curse that originated when her ancestor Grigori was corrupted by the Darkhold and bitten by a werewolf who served Dracula.[1] At some point Nina was attacked and bitten by a vampire, transforming her into a hybrid.[1] As a result, she transforms into a vampire by night and a wolf during full moons.

Nina used her father's money and status to create a special area to cage herself and prevent herself from harming others. However, she had no problem using her supernatural abilities to kill criminals, seeing them as worthy prey to satiate her thrist for blood.[1]

After being caught in a trap set by S.H.I.E.L.D. during an adventure with her uncle Jack, Nina joins the organization's Paranormal Containment Unit, nicknamed the Howling Commandos.[2][3] During her time there, she is partnered with the werewolf Warwolf and the vampire Lilith, Dracula's daughter.[4]

In the All-New, All-Different Marvel event, Nina joins S.T.A.K.E.'s Howling Commandos.[5]

Nina later ends up under the thrall of Dracula at the time when Old Man Logan and the Howling Commandos arrived to rescue Jubilee, who is also under Dracula's thrall. Both of them end up freed from Dracula's thrall upon his defeat.[6]

## Powers and abilities

[edit]

Nina is a hybrid of a vampire and a werewolf and possesses the abilities of both, but only after sunset. Her vampire powers give her superhuman physical abilities, a powerful healing factor, and an inability to be captured on film. Due to her hybrid nature, she is not affected by sunlight.

She is also cursed with the power of lycanthropy. When the moon is full, she transforms into a white wolf resembling an Arctic wolf. This gives her superhuman physical abilities and senses as well as overwhelming feral instincts.
