SISTER LUCIA

Real Name: Corintha de Lucia

Identity/Class: Alternate reality (Earth-928 circa 2099 A.D.) vampire

Occupation: Part of a religious order dedicated to uniting the remaining vampires of Earth

Group Membership: Sisterhood of Tears, Vampires of Earth

Affiliations: Lachryma (Becka McBride)

Enemies: Unidentified group of assassins hired by major corporations,  including an unspecified Japanese corporation.

Known Relatives: None

Aliases: None

Base of Operations: Unrevealed;
    presumably mobile

First Appearance: 2099 Unlimited#4/3 (April, 1994)

Powers/Abilities: As a vampire, Lucia has enhanced human strength (likely lifting around 1000 lbs. and possibly more) and speed, as well as immunity to conventional weaponry, such as bullets (she may have turned partially into mist to avoid being struck by bullets).

    She possessed enlarged canine teeth and sharp claws able to rend flesh, at least.

    She required regular blood meals to survive. Further, feeding on a human victim would turn that victim into a vampire, depending on the extent of the feeding and other circumstances. She knew how to feed on someone without killing them, which presumably spared them from being transformed into a vampire.
    Those she vampirized may or may not have been subservient to her.

    When fully fed, she could likely heal rapidly from non-fatal wounds. 

    She presumably has the standard vampire vulnerabilities, including sunlight, religious icons (such as the Judeo-Christian cross) and to the Montesi Formula, garlic, a wooden stake through the heart, and silver.
    She wore a nun's habit, but it is unrevealed whether she could tolerate actual religious icons.

    She may or may not have been unable to enter a home without being invited.

    She may or may not have been able to mesmerize others with a gaze. 

    As she taught Lachryma to "phase her form" (specifically turning into a bat), it is presumed that she could do so herself, as well. However, it is unrevealed whether he could transform into a wolf or into mist.

Height: Unrevealed (approximately 5'8"; presumably variable when transforming into bat, at least)
Weight: Unrevealed (approximately 130 lbs.)
Eyes: Dark (likely dark brown or blue); solid red while attacking
Hair: Unrevealed (dark eyebrows; one image appeared to show some black hair poking out from the back of her head)

History:

(2099 Unlimited#4/3 (fb) - BTS) - Sister Lucia was a member of an ancient holy order of vampires known as the Sisterhood of Tears.

    Circa 2099 A.D., vampires had been driven to near extinction, with few remaining.

    The Sisterhood's cause was to unite the remaining vampires, and she was on such a mission when she found...

(2099 Unlimited#4/3 (fb)) - ...attorney Becka McBride, who had been mortally wounded by corporation-hired assassins for her firm's forcing a massive payment from a major Japanese corporation.

    Sister Lucia appeared out of the shadows and leapt at the killers. Their bullets passed harmlessly through her, and she severed the hand of the man who had shot Becka. In flashes of silver, white and then red, Lucia swiftly finished off the assassins (despite at least some of them being cybernetically enhanced, after which she smiled, smelling of hot blood and cyborg fluid.

    Sister Lucia then approached the fallen Becka, telling her that she was dying and that she could save her, but there was a price. After Becka nodded in acceptance, Lucia told her to close her eyes, and Lucia drained her of blood.

(2099 Unlimited#4/3 (fb) - BTS) - Becka awakened as a vampire, and she took the name Lachryma.

    Considering Lachryma to be her blood child, Lucia dutifully tutored her in the ways of their kind, teaching her of the alternative history of the world when a bestiary of beings imagined only in myths and nightmares ranked with the noblest heroes and the darkest villains.

    A dedicated teacher, Lucia taught Lachryma how to seduce the warm to survive and who to sup without killing; how their form warped light (and to what extent); and how to phase her form, at least into bat form.

    Finally, Lucia asked Lachryma to join her as a novice in the Sisterhood. However, Lachryma declined, choosing instead to be a heroic figure and to prove that not all vampires were evil.

Comments: Created by Ian Edgington and David Klein.

    Sister Lucia was referrred to by Lachryma as her mother-in-darkness. Lachryma referred to herself as Lucia's blood child and daughter-in-darkness. And they referred to vampires as "the kind."

    I honestly preferred Reality-928 to all of the variant 2099 realities, and to the combined 2099 timeline. I'd like to see more of the classic 2099, timeline, but I don't know if that's happening.
    However, as Dracula and his world of vampires have been featured prominenting in Reality-2099, I'm curious as to the fates of Sister Lucia and the Sisterhood of Tears, as well as Lachryma, or course!

    Earth-616's version of Sister Lucia was considered as a potential recruit for the Initiative by Tony Stark in the Civil War: Battle Damage Report. Her real name was also revealed in that issue.
    That would seem to imply that Lucia dated back to at least the heroic age, if not much earlier.

    This profile was completed 11/22/2025, but its publication was delayed as it was intended for the Appendix 25^th anniversary 's celebratory event.
