Morlun. He costs the most points! :squareeye

Morlun. He is just the most impressive, both in the comics and in clix. He's a very specific vampire though...
Blade!
In the comics, he's not only is he part vampire, but he also makes it a point to kill them too!
Plus (his Mutant Mayhem) Figure sculpt and Vet Dial are a steal at 41 points!

Morlun. He absorbs the power of other totemic heroes and can sense their location once he has made physical contact with them. So you are basically looking at a guy who is a cross between Dracula and Connor McLeod from Highlander.

Morlun could crush both of them at the same time.

Blade...cuz he's got 3 movies, had a TV series...and chicks dig the car. Let's face it if any other vampire were as powerful and cool they would have been made with his Clix back during IC!
Morlun. I have nothing else to contribute.

Morlun!!!Morlun!!!Morlun!!!
But Im only sayin that because I like the fig.:classic:
Yeah, Morlun kinda dwarfs the other two in power level.
Plus neither Morbius or Blade are proper vampires. One's a failed science experiment ("the Living Vampire"), the other was just a regular guy without any vampiric powers until he relatively recently got some from Morbius somehow, presumably to bring the character more in lin with the more popular film version.

Then Blade "forgot" to pay his taxes and his cool factor went poof faster than a sunlight smacked vampire in one of his movies.
And who shows up trying to claim the "alpha vampire" title without a plague of rats, entourage of wolves, or the form of a bat / smoke? Only a poser mimicking the true undead king.

Morlun of course, it's so obvious. Clix-wise and in the reality of comics. He is powerful, very strong and durable!

Or The Count....

If you mean Clix-wise then it's Morlun, then Morbius, then Blade. If you mean how strong they are in the comics then it's Blade, then Morbius, then Morlun.

Since night stalkers blade has always had an occult sense and above average strength , stamina, reflexes (thought not super level) ...
My vote is none of the above. None of them are real VAMPIRES
If you mean how strong they are in the comics then it's Blade, then Morbius, then Morlun.£How do you figure? Have you read anything with Morlun in it?
Morbius is more powerful than Blade by definition, because all of Blade's superhuman abilities derive from Morbius. Before he got Morbiused he was a regular guy with an immunity to vampire mind tomfoolery.
Blade does get extra points for being English though.
From this poll and in Clix form, Morlun.
From Comics and eventual clix, Dracula himself.

Wait, we get extra points for being English.
I guess that's what I've been doing wrong.

Morlun is obviously the strongest of those 3. Not best, but strongest.
None of the above
I, Vampire
Do any of them have skin that "glitters"?
If so, I want to punch them in the face.
Hard.

Clix Wise here based on your list it's Morlun.
Buuttt... There's No Baron Blood on the list, Elseworlds Batman, would also be a good choice.
The forever champion of vampires would be Count Dracula. He must be made to end this travesty of vampire misrepresentation.

The answer to this poll is Dracula.
Then Dracula again.
Then Vampire Batman who could potentially beat Dracula. He did beat DC Dracula, but DC Dracula is a chump compared to Marvel Dracula.
Then we have Morlun.
Granted, none of the options are actually undead or vampires. They have vampire-like powers/abilities. Morlun is a psychic vampire - meaning he feeds off the psychic energy of pure totemic forces.
Granted, as part of a heroclix force, Morlun wins simply because he's the most recently designed. Blade's latest figure was the sucky Mutant Mayhem version and Morbius got a decent treating 2 sets ago in Secret Invasion, but because the new dial designer believes in making figures better than what they should be, we get 4 damage Morlun.

Heck yeah!!! Dracula for the win!!!!
And I'm also giving shout-outs to Spitfire (world's hottest vampire) and Baron Blood (Nazi Vampires rule). ;)

That Dracula is the ultimate vampire goes without saying. Hopefully he'll get made in the next marvel set. In the meantime, I'm thinking about putting my horrorclix Vlad the Impaler sculpt onto a heroclix base, but I'm unsure what the best dial would be. Morbius seems like the obvious choice, but I seem to fail utterly every time I play him.

I just can't believe they made Morlun before Dracula. It's gotta be Marvel stonewalling Dracula.

I haven't read anything with Morlun in it, but here's my reasoning:
Blade's cool and is a good guy who has been on several teams and has been the star of several comic series as well as being in films and on TV. That means he's the hero of the story (or at least the very cool guest star if he's in someone else's book) and is more likely than not to find a way to defeat the bad guy.
Morbius starts out as your typical scientist-accidentally-turned-into-a-monster who battles Spider-Man. Then later he becomes a hero but is still a second stringer (he was last seen on a team in Marvel Zombies 5 with Machine Man and Howard the Duck) so I rank him below Blade.
Morlun is a villain and therefore exists to be defeated by the hero. If Blade ever fought Morlun then he would find a way to defeat him (or at least drive him off). Plus Morlun was part of that lame-sounding "Spider-Totem" storyline that tried to rewrite Spider-Man's powers as being partly mystical in nature, so I count that as another strike against the character. :mad:
So in terms of comic coolness, it's Blade, Morbius, then Morlun. In Heroclix games Morlun would mop the floor with the versions of Blade we have, but then again you don't get any bonuses for being the good guy in Heroclix (except maybe the fellowship vote). :p

Morlun.
Blade needs a remake, one hit from morlun and hes done. His stats would be too low to even hurt him....a 7 punch vs. a 18 impervious???
And his defense is too low. Morlun WILL get first hit.
Morbius vs Morlun: Morlun gets first hit because indom. I played both of them, morbius's super senses isnt reliable its a "oh wow i actually rolled it". Yes then morbius does get his steal energy after.....but with a 2 dmg. so unless he crits...its not happening.....
Morlun all the way

Okay, if you're ranking in terms of "coolness" you can make that argument. But the question from the opening post, and your previous post both referred to strength, which is probably why both Carabas and I were a little puzzled at your rankings.
I haven't read anything with Morlun in itOkay. Let me enlighten you: yo know Blade and Morbius, their powere levels are that of a vampire. Morlun's a whole different kettle of fish. He's more like Juggernaut with energy draining powers and a nice suit.
It's like ranking Spider-Man, Wolverine, and the Hulk in power.
So in terms of comic coolness...Not actually relevant to what was being discussed.

Yeah, but Morlun is still a lame character, so I expect if Blade ever fought him in the comics Blade would win. Cool heroes triumph over villains. It's why Spider-Man always finds a way to win when he faces off against more powerful opponents like Juggernaut, Firelord or Morlun.
You said it yourself when you called it a "style bonus." Blade gets one, Morlun doesn't, so I give Blade the edge.
So I'll agree with you that Morlun is the "strongest" vampire of these three, but that's irrelevant since if he was in any story where someone else was the main character he'd probably still lose because that's the point of a story - to overcome an obstacle.
I just can't believe they made Morlun before Dracula. It's gotta be Marvel stonewalling Dracula.
I think he's kind of like Mephisto. the dial would be really difficult to make accurate and powerful.

I refer you to Knightfall, The Death of Superman, The Death of Captain America, heck even Civil War. Or the first times Spider-man fought every single foe of his. The good guys lose sometimes.

Yes, but Spider-Man always came back to beat the villain after the initial loss! And Supes and Cap beat death in the end, so they didn't really lose after all.
As an aside, I HATED the Death of Superman, the Death of Captain America and Civil War. Supes and Cap were killed off as promotional gimmicks and Civil War was contrived (let's have Cap and Iron Man fight and then have Cap just give up!).
I also hated it when they shot Blue Beetle in the head. I just had to bring that up because I'm still bitter. :mad:
Yeah, but Morlun is still a lame character...What do you know about that? You just said you have never read anyhting with him in it.
