Mischief

• Mischief’s real name and past remain a mystery. She may or may not be a vampire, but her abilities seem to indicate that she is one. She used to associate with Night Raven during the time he was active in England in 1921-1951 and even kept an eye on his secret lair for him after his death, so she appears to have been around for quite a while. It must be noted here that the Earth that Mischief resides on is not the regular Marvel Universe Earth, designated Earth-616.
• During her first appearance in NOCTURNE#2, Mischief spied on Gary Poldark outside of the Night Raven’s secret base. Poldark had donned the Nocturne suit, which had been designed by the Night Raven, and used it to escape a trap that had flooded the entire lair with water. The trap was actually a test designed by the Night Raven to insure that whoever donned his suit would be capable enough to take over his “legacy”. For a while, Mischief followed Nocturne and witnessed his battle against a villain named Suture. When Nocturne had been captured by agents of Yi Ying, a drug smuggler and Tong leader who had been an adversary of the Night Raven, Mischief came to his rescue, and then she helped him fight and defeat Yi Ting’s agents, Moose and Dragonpaw. They also went against a villain called Hatemare, who had turned out to be the Night Raven himself, a Night Raven who was brought back to life as a revenant by the diabolical Yi Yang. When he remembered his past life as the Night Raven, Hatemare confronted Yi Yang. The boat they were all on exploded, but Mischief and Nocturne managed to survive and haven’t been seen since.
• Personally, I enjoyed the Nocturne series. It was put out by Marvel, but it was written and drawn by the folks at Marvel UK. I had hoped the series would have lasted beyond the initial four issues, but it didn’t. The artwork by Joe Fonteriz was fantastic, too.
• SIDE NOTE: If Mischief was indeed a vampire, then she would have been destroyed by the Montesi Formula in Doctor Strange Vol.2#62.
