Elsa Bloodstone

Origin

Elsa was born from Ulysses and Elise Bloodstone. Ulysses distanced himself from Elise and so she moved to England with her baby. Elsa grew up without knowing anything about her father, and her mother made sure she did not find out about his monster hunting career. Before Ulysses died, he entrusted Adam (a Frankenstein-like being that works as Ulysses' handyman) to give Elsa his Bloodgem choker. Elsa began having dreams about monsters and vampires, when they found out about Ulysses' death they flew out to his estate in Boston.

They arrive at the Bloodstone estate and are given a tour by Charles Barnabas (secretly a good pure blood vampire), who is the lawyer and executor of the estate. Elsa would later explore the estate against her mother's wishes to find a hidden chamber. There Adam would explain Elsa's legacy and heritage to her and give her the choker. A genie lamp in the chamber starts flashing and Elsa rubs it. She is then transported to Bosnia right in front of Dracula who is seemingly being pursued by some sort of special-ops soldiers. Dracula recognizes the Bloodgem and starts to close in on Elsa. The Bloodgem blasts Dracula away and Dracula was staked and caught by the soldiers, who it would later be revealed were servants of Nosferatu (another vampire). Adam arrives and brings Elsa back to the estate.

Elsa accepts the mantle her father left for her and so Elsa turns into a monster hunter, but she has to keep it a secret from her mother. Adam designs a costume for Elsa tailored like her fathers (and seemingly to maximize upon her already impressive cleavage, much to Adam's delight). The lamp would flash and Elsa and Adam begin another mission. This time the lamp teleports them to Egypt where they meet N'Kantu, the Living Mummy. They enter the pyramid to stop whatever is happening, leaving N'Kantu behind to keep guard, and giving N'Kantu the gifts of modern slang.  Elsa and Adam would soon figure out that Nosferatu had Dracula captured and was trying to become powerful by sacrificing Dracula and other powerful "pure blood" vampires including their own Barnabas.. Elsa would confront Nosferatu and battle him, Nosferatu was able to bite Elsa in the neck. But the Bloodgem energy in her blood hurt him and so while Nosferatu was reeling from the pain, Dracula and Adam open a hatch in the roof to expose Nosferatu to sun light, killing him.

Elsa now lives in the Bloodstone estate with her mother and Adam. They also befriend Charles Barnabas who would help her on missions. Elsa began blogging about the monsters she has hunted and made an encyclopedia about all the monsters she killed in the Marvel Universe.  Her first series of advantures ends with them setting out to combat a kraken.

Nextwave

Elsa would later join Nextwave and in this series she claims that she comes from a long line of near immortal monster hunters (in another Nextwave issue, she says she is "second in a long line" of monster hunters stretching back thousands of years; i.e., her dad and herself). When she talks about her past in Nextwave, it differs radically from the Bloodstone comics. In Nextwave she claims that she was trained by her father when she was young, such as dropping her into a pit with a monster as a toddler armed only with a spoon, and that when her parents were absent she was trained by a robot/torture device called "Hate Mother". It has been noted by the writer that they know her past differs a little bit and was used for the comedy of Nextwave. ''Civil War: Damage Report'' states that the memories and persoanlities of Nextwave members were altered by H.A.T.E.  Elsa seems to have a strong report with N.E.X.T.W.A.V.E teammate The Captain, though whether this is just a friendly bond or anything more is open to interpretation.

Powers

Her powers are partially inherited, and partially the result of the fragment of the Bloodstone she wears. She has enhanced strength, stamina, speed and durability, and an enhanced healing factor. Her blood is toxic to vampires. It is not yet known if she is immortal like her father.

Not having any offensive powers, she carries big guns. She owns some of the magic artifacts collected by her father, such as a genie in a lamp.

Alternate Realities

In Earth-22791 Elsa had twin daughters, Maya and Aztec, who inherited her powers.
