Concept name   Un-biteable (I know..not a real word)

Team Name: Glaive. Because everyone already took every name with a vampire or night theme.

Let's cut to the chase, in a vampire apocalypse, most heroes won't last the long haul because all it takes is a bite. Even an epic hero like Buffy died a few times and was bitten many more. Without her friends and the perfect situations she, like all other slayers, was toast. P.S. I am a Buffy fan.

So I tried to find a team that well could not be bitten and turned. I considered my favorite, Wolverine, but he likes to scrap it up and I am unconfident on how his healing factor would deal with vampirism (it is a real word). In What-If comics it shows wolvie as a vamp. I also did not want to go the obvious and boring path of overpowered characters like, Superman, Goku, Ichigo and maybe Alucard. Way too solo and I don't think they would be fun in a team for the scope of this challenge. I want a team that can be exciting to watch but would be "realistic" in their survivability against crazy odds.

I ended up with this team.

Vampire Hunter D:         Anyone who knows who he is wont disagree. Already a vampire so can't be turned. Insanely powerful and can deal with a lot of different situations and mystical forces. He is the cool, confident member of the team and my personal favorite vampire slayer. Gives new meaning to "talk to the hand".











Spider Man:       Yea a little of a surprise, but there is no way a vampire can get close enough to bite without his spider sense warning him. I know vamps are quick and strong but nothing compared to spider man. Regardless, In uncanny spider man, is tells how he is immune to vampirism. His speed, strength and precise aim could make him a staking machine. Web could be good crowd control, and imagine if he used holy water when making his web solution.....interesting. Watching him slay tons of vamps would be so fun. For the record he does fight vampires (Morbius).

Blade:     Arguably has the highest headcount, or heart count of any vampire slayer (He has been doing this for a very long time). Very talented and specialized in the slaying and he fits the profile of someone who can't be turned, half-breed. No weaknesses associated with being a vampire but all the goodies.









Dr. Strange:        Honestly my initial gut choice was Selene, but I already had a few semi-vampires on my team and another vampire seemed redundant so I stretched my imagination. Dr. Strange will add a something new to the team, and can kill in many interesting ways. He survived Dracula's bite and used his powers not to turn, then killed Dracula (back when killing Dracula was cool). He even wiped out every vampire in the world for a short time. He could add leadership, strategy and a lot of knowledge when a new evil boss appears. Mystic powers would be very cool next to all the pounding, slashing and staking from the rest of the team.

For added flair, and because I am trying to find a way to get my favorite character in the mix, I would have Vamp Wolverine as the boss for my team to fight. The vamps that Wolverine would sire would even be more difficult to kill (assuming they would get some of his coolness). He would definitely give an awesome challange to this epic team.
