10 Comic Characters You Didn't Know Were Related
2. Dracula And Deadpool
One of the weirder familial ties is that of a 'step-husband' - who is basically the husband of someone you were once wed to.
It's an especially surreal term, which gets all the more surreal when you apply it to the relationship between Deadpool and Dracula.
Yes. That Dracula. The Prince of the Night was enamoured with Shiklah, another member of supernatural royalty, and sent the Merc With a Mouth to bring him to her so the pair could marry.
Only, Shiklah fell in love with said loud-mouthed mercenary and his love of merciless killing. The two actually had a suprisingly stable relationship by comic book standards - that is, until Deadpool turns to a more zen, pacifist lifestyle.
Enraged by Deadpool's new hobby of not murdering everyone he meets, Shiklah divorces him and marries Dracula. While Deadpool is devastated, he does now get to say that he's technically related to Nosferatu, which is... almost worth a failed marriage. Almost.
