Lord of the Vampires, King of the Night. Castlevania’s Dracula originated as a powerful man in his own right, but when his faith in God is broken upon the death of his wife, he vows to spite him, and live forever, cursing any who do not renounce the Christian faith, and bow to his dark power. He is reborn many times over hundreds of years and confidently laughs in the face of those who would slay him, knowing it is his destiny to return again. Pretty cool dude. He even finds love as an evil overlord, but then she dies too! Mathias Cronqvist, who controls death himself, is no joke.
Castlevanias Drac is pretty spooky. Above you will see various forms of Dracula, each one daunting in their own right. Any man with this range is at least a seven. I only keep him so low as he never tries to scare victims, instead wishing to purely deliver them pain.
The danger is even higher. Returning over and over again, never staying dead, and only being slain by the most powerful of artifacts and attacks. Even before becoming Dracula, Mathias Cronqvist was an extremely skillful military tactician and master alchemist. Intimidating, but not extravagant. However, after using his 1000 IQ to trick his friend into killing what was the most powerful vampire at the time, Death itself stole the vampire's soul, which allowed Mathias (who commands Death itself) to become the most powerful vampire of all time. He then gained the ability to teleport, transform into various creatures of the night like bats and wolves, fly, be reborn every 100 years, command armies of the dead, demons, monsters, and godforsaken people, start pestilent curses, control minds, transform into mist, wield fire, control beasts of the night, perform acidic blood magic, and enter a demon from. Even with all this and his 1000 IQ, he still has weaknesses. Most prominently the sun, and a magic whip known as DUN DUN DUN… Vampire Killer. While the weapon has one of the worst names ever, it is extremely powerful against Dracula and has been wielded to slay him many times.
Every time Dracula is reborn he takes on a new edgy look, but can also become a bat demon. However, he doesn’t change much through his rebirths usually, and the demon form is more of an ability than how transformed he is from rebirth. So 8 is a fitting high number for his many transformations, while still accepting the caveats within them.
Dracula? 10/10 MATHIAS CROQVIST 10/10 just for coolness. Lord of the Vampires, King of the Night, 10/10.
