Blood Red Queen Of Hearts
Blood Red Queen Of Hearts is a comic book character that first appeared in Vampirella #49
The queen of hearts is a demonic entity that possesses and moves from person to person through a playing card. She serves under the god, Chaos, and wishes to be his queen.
ORIGIN
Her name was once Jezebel. She resided in ancient Babylon where she served as the high priestess for the notorious Cult of Chaos. She charmed men and women alike with her enticing beauty. A trait she would use to lure them into her cult and then later sacrifice them to the Mad-god Chaos. Jezebel wound up doing most of Chaos bidding until she rebelled against him, demanding that she be his queen and most of all gain immortality. Angered by her demands, Chaos ripped the flesh from her body and trapped her very essence in a playing card as a punishment. Even though she got her wish of being immortal, she was bodiless and forced to be trapped in a "Queen of Heart" card for eternity. However, she does remain loyal to Chaos and still continues to serve him with human sacrifices preferably ten human hearts, which preferably must be evil.
With no body of her own, the Queen of hearts searches fruitlessly for human hosts she can inhabit. Any mortal woman, who touches the card, temporarily becomes the queen of hearts until they are completely worn out. The Queen always looks for new hosts she can inhabit all while collecting human hearts for Chaos.
Chaos Bride
Originally the Queen wanted to marry the mad-god Chaos, but she needed a dowry of seven human hearts. Vampirella's heart was to have been the last. In her first encounter with Vampirella, the Queen of hearts sets out a demon to get Vampirella’s heart for Chaos but fails. As a result the Queen's demon which she sent out initially to destroy Vampirella lost its eyes during the battle and in retaliation the demon rips out the queen’s eyes. Since then the blood red queen of hearts has harbored a personal hatred against Vampirella.
Vendetta
The Blood red queen of hearts would get her bittersweet revenge when she
The Queen would return again supposedly as a "sister" of the original Queen to seek revenge against Vampirella. She summoned an incubus to kill six women for their hearts and planned to have Vampirella sacrificed to Chaos. The incubus succeeded in luring Vampirella into her trap. The Queen would then kill the incubus to use his heart to summon Chaos from Hell. But the demon's spilled blood drove Vampirella into a feeding frenzy and she broke out of her bounds. She drank much of the Queen's blood, and then threw her into the mad-god's giant hand sending her to a hell dimension.
The Return of the Queen
Sometime later, Vampirella along with the Wet Works team encounter the Queen and her Cult of Chaos in Cuba seemingly kidnapping local women from the street. It is revealed here that The Queen's essence is in fact infused in a playing card, and in order to be resurrected the Queen needed women hosts to live. This doesn't fare well for Vampirella or the Wet Works team when the Queen temporarily inhabits Mother One’s body and gets a hold of the entire Wet Works team under her control to subdue Vampirella. She is however defeated when Mother One takes control of her body and sends the queen to find another host to inhabit.
The Blood Red Game
As years pass, Chaos once again seeks out for Vampirella’s heart but this time he wanted Vampirella’s heart given to him with love. The Queen possess an innocent woman and captures Vampirella in her trap. The Queen is successful in making Vampirella weak by not feeding her blood. The Queen tries asking politely for Vampirella’s heart, but Vampirella rejects her every advance. During the time spent torturing Vampirella, the Queen begins to fall in love with Vampirella. In turn Vampirella realizes that and tricks the Queen into letting her free promising to love her back.
The Queen's Gambit
The Queen returns again scheming with the Black Bishop in helping him abduct a child needed to end the world. During the event, the queen manages to temporarily inhabit Vampirella’s body and defeats Shi in the process and destroys a few army of nuns protecting the baby, until Dixie’s intervention helped Vampirella get rid of the Queen. Unfortunately, The Queen is successful in abducting the child after the child's guardian accidentally touches the discarded card and transforms back into the Queen. The Queen intends to kill the child, but in the end however, the Queen finds herself dying in a body that she cannot get out of and seems to have presumably been gone for good.
Apocalypse Unleashed
Thought to have been dead, the Queen somehow makes her return again to
finally bring Chaos to earth plane and in the process unleashes an apocalypse. The queen uses Vampirella as a pawn to do her bidding while she has Adam Van Helsing in captive. Vampirella has no choice but help the queen find seven evil hearts to ensure Adam’s safety. Vampirella sets out for the queen’s victims but gives them a chance to repent, but none of them showed any remorse for whatever they did, which made them easy prey for the queen to take their hearts. This inevitably bought forth an apocalypse with Chaos using Adam’s body as a vessel. Vampirella, along with Pendragon, battle against Adam (Chaos) and the Queen, and end up banishing them to hell.
POWERS AND ABILITIES
She also has vast knowledge of dark magic and the occult which she uses to summon demons and raise the dead as zombies to serve her. She can also cast illusions and use hypnosis to put her victims in a deep trance while possessing their bodies. In desperation the queen can make multiple copies of her own to inhabit other hosts.
She is also proficient in mutilating her victim’s hearts with precision.
