10 Underpowered Characters Who Shouldn't Have Beaten Major Comics Villains

4. Dracula Vs. Apocalypse

Apocalypse vs Dracula
Marvel Comics

Now, it's worth addressing right away that, in the Marvel universe, Dracula is no fragile figure, as the vampire's super-strength and blood-based powers are not insignificant.

However, in terms of powers, he's also been repeatedly shown as literally nowhere near the might of Apocalypse, as significantly less powerful characters - such as Deadpool and Doctor Strange, to name but a few - have despatched the vampire with only minimal difficulties. This in mind, you'd think there'd be literally no chance that the frankly ridiculously overpowered Apocalypse wouldn't be able to overpower him.

But the fight is way more in Dracula's favour than you'd think.

Due to his control over blood, Dracula is invigorated by the powers within Apocalypse's blood, and uses this to make himself far more powerful than he'd be normally.

Dracula would have literally won, had it not been for the interference of Van Helsing, and so it's safe to say that this marks Dracula as way more capable in fights despite his comparative lack of powers to other characters.

I like my comics like I like my coffee - in huge, unquestionably unhealthy doses.
