Frost escaped this encounter vowing revenge.

Blade and King, with the help of Brother Voodoo, foiled Frost's attempt to gain control of Garwood Industries through Donna Garth (daughter of Simon Garth the Living Zombie). He also confirmed that the previous encounter was indeed an imposter (as Blade suspected) who was created using science and magic. In a later one-shot story set in New Orleans, Frost was encountered yet again, but he appeared as he did in The Tomb of Dracula. The doppelgänger attempted to summon a powerful demon, only to be devoured by said creature. This vampire had a different appearance and personality to the original, and was later identified as being a doppelgänger. Many years later, Blade encountered a vampire that called itself Deacon Frost. The two of them managed to defeat and apparently destroy Frost in his underground hideout, stabbing him twice and leaving his body to be consumed as his hideout exploded. Blade and King (while initially distrusting each other) eventually teamed up to fight Frost's army of doppelgangers of Blade and King. It was also Frost who turned Hannibal King into a vampire.

Frost is the vampire responsible for the death of Blade's mother Blade's initial mission is to exact revenge against her killer. Frost intended to use this ability to contend for the position of Lord of Vampires, a position that was presently held by Dracula. He could create an unlimited number of doppelgängers by biting each doppelgänger, and they would all be under his mental control. The result was that Frost became a vampire but (due to the unusual method of becoming one) he was endowed with a unique characteristic anyone he turned into a vampire would generate a doppelgänger.

The girl's fiancé broke into the lab, and (in the resulting scuffle) Frost was accidentally injected with the blood himself. For one of his experiments, he kidnapped a young woman in order to inject his victim with the blood of a recently killed vampire. Deacon Frost first appeared in The Tomb of Dracula #13 (October 1973), and was created by Marv Wolfman and Gene Colan.ĭeacon Frost was allegedly a scientist looking for the key to immortality.
