Aphorisms for a Comic Book Universe
 
#18
Yeah. Apparently when the Scarlet Witch when postal (again) and had that brief interlude where the world was reverted to a medieval state, Jubilee lost her powers. She was a norm for a while, but when a friend of hers from the super community visited her to try to cheer her up, she was basically in the wrong place at the wrong time. A vampire cultist with a bomb strapped to him ran into a public place and detonated himself. This had the effect of infecting everyone who swallowed any of his blood with vampirism. Jubilee was liberally covered in gore, along with a dozen or so other nearby people. They were all infected as a result.
Although the business of Jubilee as a vampire is really over the top goth fanservice, I found the idea of a vampire suicide bomber using the technique to infect a large group of random people with vampirism one of the more effective forms of vampire terrorism I could see happening in a world where such things existed. It takes the whole concept of terror to a new height, because these people aren't dead in the conventional sense. And since the conversion takes time, everyone knows what's happening to them. Plus, it's not like modern science has a cure for a magic-based infection, so as a terror tactic, it would be scarily effective.
