Lilith (Marvel Comics)

She first appeared in Giant-Size Chillers Featuring The Curse of Dracula #1 (June 1974),[1] and was created by Marv Wolfman and Gene Colan.

[2] Most of her solo appearances were written by Steve Gerber, who would later use a supporting character he created for these stories, Martin Gold, in the two-issue miniseries The Legion of Night.

2) #20 (May 1998), Dracula: Lord of the Undead #1-3 (December 1998), Witches #2 (August 2004), Nick Fury's Howling Commandos #2-6 (January–May 2006), and Legion of Monsters: Morbius #1 (September 2007).

She cast a spell upon Lilith to make her into a vampire, but one with rather different powers: unlike conventional Marvel Comics vampires, she did not fear holy symbols, was not able to be killed by being out in the daylight and did not need to sleep in a coffin lined with her native soil.

[volume & issue needed] In the modern era, Lilith's spirit possessed a woman named Angel O'Hara, who had come to hate her father and want him dead when he accidentally killed her husband, Ted Hannigan, after finding out that she had married him secretly and was carrying his child.

Over the centuries, she gave birth to many of her children – (the Lilin) – including Creed, Pilgrim, Fang, Doc, Meatmarket, Skinner, and Nakota.

Discovering that her Lilin children had been scattered across the dimensions centuries ago and that many of them were destroyed by the Ghost Rider and Johnny Blaze, she soon made enemies of them.

[20] Alongside the Lilin, she again battled the Ghost Rider, Johnny Blaze, Morbius, the Nightstalkers, and the Darkhold Redeemers.

[21] After many attempts to kill the two, her enemies list grew to include Doctor Strange, Morbius the Living Vampire, the Witches, the Nightstalkers and the Midnight Sons.

[volume & issue needed] Many months later, her children were reborn with the assistance of Meatmarket, a child that Lilith did not expect would help her.

[22] Their goal was to claim the mystical artifact called the Medallion of Power, and kill its inheritors, Johnny Blaze, Danny Ketch, and Vengeance.

[volume & issue needed] Lilith was one of several demonic beings imprisoned within Avalon at the start of the Secret Invasion, but was then freed by Pete Wisdom during Captain Britain and MI3's battle with the Skrulls.

She is able to manipulate eldritch energy for several effects; to strike her opponents and even obliterate them when she exerts her full power on lesser creatures, conjure protective shields capable of protecting vampires from sunlight, fashion new Lilin either from nothingness or by converting other creatures, and to teleport herself or summon others.

Through her genesis-based attributes Lilith can literally give birth to countless races beyond those of the demonic Lilin; ranging from humans to mutants and mystical beasts, etc.

She does so either through natural copulative procreation, consuming prior offspring, conjuring them out of nothingness, conversion of other species or through asexual reproduction.

Her power also enables her to transmigrate living souls consumed into new entities, respawning them as any given species she desires at a later date in time.
