The character and storyline originally started as a backup story in The House of Mystery between 1981 and 1983, but was popular enough to become the main feature.

The series followed Bennett into the modern day as he tried to undo his mistake and take down Mary and the Blood Red Moon.

During this run, we also see Andrew Bennett interact with the Lords of Chaos and Order to seek an end to time, which does occur due to the vampire's involvement, but is later reversed.

He is severely weakened by sunlight, losing most of his vampiric powers,[4] and he can be killed by silver, fire, and/or a wooden stake to the heart.

Tig, Troughton, Batman, and the Justice League Dark are almost overwhelmed by the vampires when Madame Xanadu manages to resurrect Andrew Bennett, who proceeds to kill Cain and claim leadership of the vampire horde for himself, promising a new era free from conflict with humans.

[14] In the New 52 continuity, vampires possess the generic abilities associated with the undead, namely supernatural powers of strength and speed, immortality, and accelerated healing, as well as enhanced senses sufficient to track blood by scent, hear heartbeats and see in the dark.

Instead, similar to the literary Dracula, sunlight dulls their senses and severely weakens their physical attributes to the point of becoming effectively human or even less so in terms of their abilities.

Andrew has also shown that he is able to change into a mist and back, being able to do this in combat as well to avoid strikes in the "nick of time", rendering him intangible.

Andrew can also turn into a swarm of bats or sprout large bat-like wings from his back in order to achieve flight.

Besides his vampiric powers, Andrew has been shown to be an expert tracker and master swordsman with unparalleled combat skills.

Vampires proceed to convert or kill high-profile superheroes and villains in the hopes of establishing a new world order.

Andrew Bennet attempts to alert the Justice League, but only succeeds in informing Batman before he is killed by a converted Green Lantern.
