The X-Men have a weird relationship with Dracula right? I can’t be the only one who thinks that it’s a bit out of left field that one of the most enduring, repeated plot points in every generation of X-Men comics is that, on top of everything else, Dracula also hates them/is hot for Storm. It’s a unique quirk of Dracula, from Bram Stoker’s 1879 novel, being a public domain character who had a 70 issue staring run at Marvel, making him not just a thing that exists, but an engrained part of the Marvel eco-system. Even before the Krakoan era, Jason Aaron gave him Chernobyl and the homeland for a new vampire nation where Blade (from ice skating uphill) is the UN appointed Sheriff.
It’s all very silly, but don’t expect that to stop Wolverine #12 to play it straight.
