Plot
While her husband Deadpool is dead, Shiklah is engaged to Dracula. In order to find the pieces of the Scepter of the Manticore, Shiklah persuades Dracula to let her go on this quest as he assigns his Howling Commandos (consisting of Frankenstein's Monster, Man-Thing, Marcus the Centaur, N'Kantu, the Living Mummy, Werewolf by Night) to accompany her.[3] When Deadpool's ghost visits her, he possessed the body of Dracula's servant Joshua which enables Shiklah to kill Dracula. Afterwards, Shiklah ignores the warning from Deadpool's ghost of challenging God Emperor Doom. As a result, she and her resistance group get themselves killed by the Thor Corps who have taken notice of what happened in Monster Metropolis.[4]
Reception
