Storm from Earth-1298 (Mutant X) with vampiric abilities. Member of the Six and later the Heralds.
Origin
At this time, she reluctantly turned Gambit into a vampire, because he was dying and he begged her to do it no matter what. He ended up hating her for what he becomes. They go their separate ways afterwards.
Ororo later joins up wit the Six and takes on the name Bloodstorm. The team consist of a mock of the original X-Men line-up, Havok, Madelyne Pryor, Ice Man, Brute, and Fallen. She also keeps Forge and Kitty, now calling herself Kathrine, as her consorts, and it is inferred that she fed on forge instead of letting the thirst get the better of her.
The Goblin Queen
Mutant X was riginally supposed to be a 13 issue mini-series in which Havok gets his own happy ending, in place of his brother Cyclops. Madelyne Pryor was possessed of the Goblin force, which is depicted much in the tradition of the phoenix force. Once driven mad by it's power Madelyne Pryor Become the Goblin Queen, first attacking the six, and controling them. Bloodstorm was one of the first to be attacked, by her hordes of demons. When her castle was attacked Bloodstorm diverted the demons long enough for Kathrine and Forge to Escape, though she fell to the Goblin Queen influence By the end of the short lived inferno, Bloodstorm and the six are Returned to normal and Havok along with Scotty (His son) defeat the Goblin Queen. Madelyne however is lost as well.
Gambit
The Six find themselves in New Orleans where they encounter Gambit, who is now the leader of the thieves guild. Having Owed Bloodstorm a favor for saving his life, he gives them sanctuary from the "Friends of Humanity" and anti-mutant terrorist group. Gambit however is betrayed by one of his own, and his wife is killed. He then leaves the guild and joins with the six, and he and Bloodstorm reconcile their differences. Jean Grey Joins the Six and helps them defeat an Evil professor Xavier who has been possessed by his adversary the shadow king.
The Hunt for Dracula, and gambit to the Rescue
The Six were contacted by an Organization known as the Vault (A high security prison for super powered villains) A box containing Dracula had been stolen from the Vault by the Merauders. Bloodstorm sensing her maker volunteered to track it down and bring it back. In her pursuit Bloodstorm became more and more violent attacking people and beating answers out of them. Gambit who followed her tried to calm her, but failed. Bloodstorm eventually found her way to the Morlock tunnels where she engaged the marauders in battle, killing two of them, all the while growing more and more violent.
Gambit eventually shows up and seeing that the closer she gets to the box the more evil she became, Gambit blew it down one of the drain pipes with a card. Bloodstorm immediately regained control over herself.
A Cure
While in the tunnels, Bloodstorm and Gambit are ambushed by the Morlocks who are all dressed like druids. Bloodstorm looses consciousness and Gambit Disappears. When Bloodstorm awakes she meets Dagger, the leader of the Morlocks. Dagger has crucified gambit for unspoken crimes against them, and he is hung up where the suns deadly rays will reach him upon sunrise. Bloodstorm challenges Dagger in exchange for his life, and much like the battle between Storm and colisto, no powers are allowed. Bloodstorm bests Dagger stabbing her in the chest when it is revealed that Dagger is Actually Cloak and dagger and the two of them had become one. The Morlocks drag Cloak and Dagger away and Bloodstorm helps gambit down from the cross just before the sun reaches him. The two of them however have both decided that they would rather not live on as vampires and they wait for the sun to finish them. However before they are killed, ice Man creates and Ice shield over the opening blocking the sunlight, and Havok brings them two vials, telling them that it's not a cure, but it will make them immune to sunlight and it will remove the dependency on blood.
Dracula the Beyonder and the Goblin Queen
The Beyonder Rises from the center of the Earth after a cosmic scale battle between Captain America and Havok. He absorbs the memories of Captain America, and goes in search of Havok who he calls the "Key to everywhere." The Six Return to their castle where Havok is attacked by Dracula who bites him. The Six try to fight him off, but he easily overwhelms them when they are all suddenly hit by some strange psionic attack, felt through the universe as the Beyonder has returned. The X-Men, lead by Magneto com to the aid of the Six, but are slowly killed off by Dracula. First Quicksilver, then Mystique, then Polaris. Jean is attacked and left paralyzed. Iceman and Beast work together to hold off Dracula while Havok is revived. The last to defend against Dracula is Elektra who sacrifices herself in an effort to stop him but tragically failed. The Six Escape is Magneto to a secret fortress where they prepare for the more prudent threat at hand, the Beyonder, who is later revealed to actually be the Goblin Queen in disguise. While Havok does Battle with the Goblin Queen, Dracula attempts to kill the last of Earth Heroes when Bloodstorm stakes him through the heart, and he dies.
Havok Defeats the Goblin queen and she is forced out Of Madelyne Pryor's Body who is returned to her son, though Havok Disappeared after that returning to his own reality.
Reality hopping
Later, Bloodstorm was pulled from her own reality by Machine Man of Earth-9997 and joined the Heralds. They were sent on mission in alternate worlds to warn them of a Celestial at the center of the Earth. Bloodstorm's group was sent to an Earth where everyone had been turned to Vampires. Though she accomplished her mission of warning them of the Celestial, they all agreed to just end their miserable existence, choosing death over their own Vampirism. Machine Man theorized that Bloodstorms Vampirism could be reversed through a simple blood transfusion from her still mortal counterpart in an alternate reality. As a reward for helping, she was cured of her vampiric state. Though it is never revealed weather or not the theoretical cure worked, or what affect this would have on her vampiric powers.
Powers
Bloodstorm has the same powers as Earth-616 Storm. The ability to
manipulate weather patterns in her area to summon winds, rain, fog, snow, hail, thunder, or lightning, though amplified by her vampiric state.
Additionally as a vampire she has the standard vampiric traits such as superhuman strength, speed, endurance, and reaction time, ability to morph into a bat, wolf, or mist. She can hypnotize others through eye contact. She must suck the blood of others to survive; she is otherwise immortal and invulnerable to most forms of permanent injury due to a vampiric healing factor.
Interesting facts:
Storm actually was bitten by Dracula in Uncanny X-Men #159. However Storm did not succumb to the thirst, and her empathic connection to all living things helped restore her.
Bloodstorm is an homage based character honoring the popularity of punk rock and magic based characters of the 1980's with her mohawk, biker gear and the supernatural prowess.
