Drac is not people. Bruce may spare the Joker, Croc, Blockbuster–they’re people. He may, when atrociously badly written (like the last dozen years) whine about Diana killing psychic supervillains to save the world. But when it comes to high-powered no-longer-human crap like vampires, he’ll destroy them. Bruce knows how to use a stake. (And in fact did, in the aforementioned Action Comics Annual #1.)
Batsy knocked off several vampires over the years. Back in '39 he did in The Monk and his moll. I think they might have re-done that story in the late 80’s. In the late 70’s, he terminated one who hid his heart in a grandfather clock. Batsy used archery tackle on that one. As I mentioned upthread, he’s beat down Dracula twice. In both versions of that, he defeated lots of lesser vampires in the process. Bruce has no problems at all with putting down vrykolaka.
Look, there’s a simple way of doing this.
Dracula < Abbot & Costello < Superman. Thus Dracula < Superman!
But if we’re not referring to the old school Superman, and maybe the Red/Blue version would the outcome be different?
ElectroSupes doesn’t even have blood, does he? Drac might want him for a tool, but why draw the attention of someone impossible to drink or turn into a minion?
Or Dracula could pull the old “diplomatic immunity” card that’s worked so well for Dr. Doom over the years. Obviously this wouldn’t matter to Batman, but it has it’s advantages.
That’s when you call in Roger Murtaugh!
Arjen Rudd: [holds up his wallet] Diplomatic immunity!
[Roger slowly rolls his head on his neck, takes aim, and fires - his bullet goes through Rudd’s wallet, and then his head]
Roger Murtaugh: It’s just been revoked!
Now Dracula vs Riggs & Murtaugh… that’d be fun.
Well, Riggs is pretty unstable - not Renfield levels but he may be unstable enough to effect.
I don’t have enough knowledge to advance an opinon on the topic, but wanted to share that I misread the thread title as:
Count Chocula defeat Superman?, which I suspect would’ve been a much shorter thread.
Count Chocula has powers too? I bet, if needed, he can bring FrankenBerry into this…
Please, just because Hugh acted as Helsing and Wolverine does not mean Helsing and Wolverine are the same.
The math seems very accurate to me. With that theorem, one day xcalibre might be mentioned in the same breath as Euclid and Pythagoras.
Dracula would drink Superman’s blood, which is solar-powered, and vaporize permanently.
But who would win in a fight between Superman and a zo–
Oh, forget it. It’s too obvious.
How about a zombie Dracula vs Superman?
Just so people know, this thread was started in 2010.
Curse you Doug K.!
I never get to point out the zombie threads.
Not that I ever mind filling in for Captain Obvious, does he still post here?
If the writers are honest, Superman moves so fast he is invisible and pitches Dracula into the sun.
Of course, Hal Briston’s scenario was pretty cool, too.
With the revival of this thread, maybe we should be asking if the golden age Green Lantern can beat dracula?
Incorrect.

Known Weaknesses:
[ul][li]Sunlight depowers him - It does not incapacitate him. Not sure how Supe’s stored solar energy would play into this. I suspect the effect would be negligible, since Drac is depowered depending on the sun’s position in the sky, not on whether or not it is shining directly on him.[/ul][/li][/QUOTE]
There is an interesting question as to whether Drac would be able to bite Supes in the first place. I think not. However, a direct, frontal attack is not Drac’s style. The dude planned his move to England over the course of years.
I think the seduce Lois… Scratch that. Lois is too close and dangerous. He’d go for Lana Lang, or even be Martha Kent’s new Gentleman suitor. Once he’s turned one of them, he’d introduce blue kryptonite, and take advantage of a de-powered Superman.
Dracula, a character authored by Bram Stoker, died thus:
"But, on the instant, came the sweep and flash of Jonathan’s great knife. I shrieked as I saw it shear through the throat. Whilst at the same moment Mr. Morris’s bowie knife plunged into the heart.
It was like a miracle, but before our very eyes, and almost in the drawing of a breath, the whole body crumbled into dust and passed from our sight."
You’d think that if two normal men, one of them badly injured (“Mr. Morris had had to use force to pass through his side of the ring of Szgany. All the time I had been breathlessly watching Jonathan I had, with the tail of my eye, seen him pressing desperately forward, and had seen the knives of the gypsies flash as he won a way through them, and they cut at him. He had parried with his great bowie knife, and at first I thought that he too had come through in safety. But as he sprang beside Jonathan, who had by now jumped from the cart, I could see that with his left hand he was clutching at his side, and that the blood was spurting through his fingers .”) could kill Dracula, then Superman could … you’d think.
