Most Dangerous Vampire?

ActionChick: Most dangerous vampire?

Friends on Facebook and Twitter offered many great candidates and some tongue-in-cheek. Certain names popped up most frequently (e.g., Angelus), but the winner comes from the classics. More people named the grandaddy of all the best known vampires, Dracula himself.

Answers on Twitter:

aaronhowe78 Aaron Howe: Drusilla 😀
AcrossNowhere: most dangerous vampire? What about Angelus? He was pretty bad.
Agtheo Matt Oakley: Depends on media I guess. Alucard from Hellsing is up there. If you include tabletop RP then Caine from Vampire:The Masquerade.
Akasha perhapse, but she died far too easily. Kit in The Forsaken was pretty dangerous. RT @ActionChick: Most dangerous vampire?

syddelz Die Syd: Russell Edgington, no doubt about that
tdev Adrian Farley: Blade isn’t a vampire, only half vampire. Spike looses points on being dangerous because he became whimpy with a soul.
tdev: Almost forgot one of the most dangerous vampires of all time Leslie Nielsen as Dracula in Dracula: Dead and Loving It.
tdev: Kirsten Dunst as Claudia in Interview With The Vampire is deadlier than Edward from Twilight.
terrydjohnson Terry D. Johnson: I’ve got to go with Mathilda May’s unnamed alien vampire from Lifeforce – she’s snacked upon worlds.

urabore scott jeffries: : Count Vladimir Dracula (George Hamilton) was the scariest vampire because he was Jewish. Who carries a Star of David?
Vikingfist Christopher Bohne: Bram Stoker’s… The OG was uber-powerful… ancient evil!!
Voleki Jeff Miller: the Twilight series. Making people think vampires are all emo & sparkling while falling in love with their food.
whiskeypants Terminally Snarky: I would go with evil Angel over Spike. Evil Angel is much more creative and therefore way more dangerous.
whysospurious Steve Marsh: Any of the twonklights, they make me want to self harm.
WillTurc William L. Turcan: Angelus!
Writing_Rambler larry gallagher: The Count from Sesame Street…. he was invited into everyone’s home as a child
Wyldride: Forever Knight. It was a slippery slope from there to Angel to Edward Cullen.

Answers on Facebook:

A Quinn: blade or angelus
A Quinn: dracula
Bayou Savage: Barnabas, from Dark Shadows
Bebarce El-Tayib: The Government
Brian Knox: I wanted to say Spike from BtVS, and then considered the facts: Sure, he killed two Slayers, but Buffy thwarted him nearly every time. Even when Spike had good plans, he ended up being ruined by his passions. Then he fell in love with Buffy, got ensouled, and sacrificed himself to stop the First. Not even going to go into his time in the “Angel” series. Actually, if you look at Spike’s entire arc, he was dangerous, only to have his dangerousness taken away, as when he was chipped by the Initiative.
Christopher Flocco: Kain
David LeVack Skorpijon: I think thats because they aren’t vampires. Do the twilight people even drink blood?
David LeVack: Edward. He stands to ruin it for everybody
David ‘Liv’ Tyler: Blade
Dick Ding-Bling Diamond: Ninja vampires.
Ed-e Uribe: The Count
Edgar Gonzalez: count dracula
Eric Chan: if you played a vampire?
Eric Chan: seriously though maybe Selene from Underworld or Vampire Hunter D. As they have to fight powerful monsters
Erik Smith: The Marvel Comics version of Dracula, after the Darkholders eliminated all of his vulnerabilities except for the Montesi Formula.

Kristen McHugh: Much as I totally hate to admit it, I think the Twilight Vamps might actually be the most dangerous. *IF* the books were from the point of view of anyone except Bella Swan and the Cullens. The Cullens are not dangerous to humans, the Volturi and other groups are.
Kurt Marquart Didn’t even see that David already said it better.
Kurt Marquart Edward. Hands down the most dangerous vampire. Dangerous to the genre.
Lawrence Fleming: The one behind you…
Luigi Garofalo: The original real life vampire,Vlad The Impaler.
Luigi Garofalo: To be fair I don’t think the underworld vampires have those weakessess either though could be wrong.

Mitchell Ivey Genevieve Deudonne: If you have to ask, you don’t read enough.
Peter Whitney: Ummm, whichever one survives the story
Robert Hall: To hades with Team Edward, Team Spike!
Shane Benavides: I’d have to second Marmee Noir. ‘She was why humans feared the dark, just the darkness, not what lies in the dark, not what hides there, but why we fear the darkness itself.’ A great line to describe her.
Škorpijon Luna: Honestly I would think Twilight vampires ARE the toughest, they don’t have glaring weaknesses like sunshine or toothpicks and would be much harder to kill.
So Spike was basically dangerous as a wild card. Still, I will contend that he is the most compelling vampire in recent pop culture, and Spike could still beat the entire Cullen family’s sparkly asses!
