Marvel's Netflix series "Iron Fist" fans will be startled to find out about the metamorphosis of a dear character, Colleen Wing, in the continuous "Blood Hunt" event. Marvel Comics is releasing a vampire curse over New York City this summer, even among the most strong heroes like Black Panther and Doctor Strange vulnerable to its hold. While a startling turn of events reveals the fate of Colleen Wing, Iron Fist's successor, Spider-Man, the Lizard, and Misty Knight are fighting for survival among the anarchy.
The terrifying tale known as "Blood Hunt" centers on Blade, the fabled vampire hunter, who unintentionally lets an ancient vampire population explode onto New York City. Heroes around the city fight to quell their blood-lust as the vampires sow panic. Even the Avengers are vulnerable, the fate of New York rests on the shoulders of its less-known defenders including Misty Knight, the Lizard, and Spider-man.
Readers of "The Amazing Spider-Man: Blood Hunt," saw the vampires capture Colleen Wing and Dr. Morbius. The vampire leader bit Colleen when their escape effort was foiled. Unwillingly obliged to help the vampires, Morbius promised to save Colleen, so balancing her fate.
Colleen's destiny is confirmed in "The Amazing Spider-Man: Blood Hunt #3," where she is shown as a fully developed vampire motivated by an almost ravenous appetite for blood. Fans are left wondering how and why she gave in to the curse since the comic reveals she has fallen victim to it. Colleen's metamorphosis is evidence of her strength; she stayed a great force even in her new, bloodthirsty shape.
For those not familiar with Colleen Wing, she is close friend of Iron Fist and a famous martial artist. Her comic book equivalent has no relationship to the Hand, but she is well-known for her heroic deeds alongside Iron Fist and the Defenders. Colleen is searching for a vampire curse cure in the "Blood Hunt" event alongside Misty Knight and Michael Morbius.
A major turning point in the "Blood Hunt" event, Colleen Wing's metamorphosis from a valiant hero to a bloodlustful vampire questions the foundations of the Marvel Universe. It begs problems about the strength of the vampire curse and how it might corrupt even the most moral of heroes. It also emphasizes Colleen's character's strength—she is a powerful force even in her new form. Her metamorphosis serves as a sobering reminder that no hero can escape the perils hiding in the shadows.
Colleen Wing's future is yet completely unknown. Will she welcome her changed vampire form and turn into a chaotic force? Will her friends be able to lift the curse and bring her back into line with good? Alternatively will she vanish into the night always? The responses to these questions will show up in the next "The Amazing Spider-Man: Blood Hunt" issues, keeping readers on the tip of their seats as Colleen Wing's and the city's fate hangs in doubt.
The Marvel Universe has depended much on the relationship between Iron Fist and Colleen Wing. For fans, their relationship—formed in the furnace of adventure and danger—has been a source of inspiration and fortitude. Colleen is now a vampire, thus the future of their alliance is unknown and fans are left to conjecture on the effects for Iron Fist and the Marvel Universe overall.
A major turning point in Marvel Comics, the "Blood Hunt" event marks a fresh phase in the struggle between good and bad. It emphasizes the force of the vampire curse and its capacity to change even the most moral of heroes. The occasion reminds us that darkness can hide even in the most unlikely locations and that the struggle for the Marvel Universe's soul is never really finished.
