Fictional character biography

At some point the mutant named Bela became a member of the militant mutant terrorist group, The Brotherhood.

Bela was one of the members of the Brotherhood's London Cell who were sent to recruit/kidnap the rich mutant Malon Reeves. The group easily did away with her bodyguards, but Malon escaped. Fellow Brotherhood member Clive was sent after her, but was hit by her car. Instead of having his teammate die a slow death, Bela drained him. The remaining group tracked Malon to a nightclub she frequented and killed a lot more people. While trying to drag Malon off, she used her powers to burn his left hand, before Bryson knocked her out.

Back at their headquarters, Bela had a little fun by torturing Malon, before Bryson Bale stepped in to stop him. Bela was sent back to the Reeves Estate, where he came into contact with Marshal's fist. Marshal was in charge of the "interrogation" of Bela and Fiona, who was also caught, and forced him to walk a conveyor belt while being stabbed by sharpened pencils.

Somewhere in London, Bela was sitting in a dark room, tied to a chair. Marshal mentioned that he was now missing two hands. Bela begged him to tell him what he wants, which Marshal replied to with X.

Powers and abilities

Bela is a psionic vampire who drains a victim's body of its moisture through skin contact. He was apparently also able to levitate or fly to some extent.
