The nine '''Bloodlines Parasites''' are fictitious aliens, owned by [[DC Comics]], who exist in that company's [[DC Universe]]. They first gained prominace in the [[Bloodlines (comics)|Bloodlines]] [[fictional crossover|crossover]]. The parasites premiered in ''[[Lobo (comics)|Lobo]]'' annual vol. 2 #1 written by [[Alan Grant (writer)|Alan Grant]] and drawn by Christian Alamy. |

== History == |
|||
The Parasites hail from the same [[Parallel universe (fiction)|dimension]] as a powerful [[Shaman]] named '''Pax''' who gained his own powers due to being bitten by one of them and left for dead. The parasites escaped from their prison dimension and ended up on Earth, while there they took to feeding on humans. |
|||
The aliens feed by draining the spinal fluid of their prey after administering a small dose [[venom|paralytic venom]], if the feeding process is performed on a human possessing the [[Metahuman|metagene]], the [[Physical trauma|trauma]] of feeding on that victim will usually activate their metagene granting them [[List of comic book superpowers|superpowers]]. Those so activated took to calling themselves "New Bloods"<sup>(1)</sup> |

The nine aliens were '''Angon''', '''Gemir''', '''Glonth''', '''Pritor''', '''Slodd''', '''Lissick''', '''Venev''', '''Ragnorak''', and the '''Taker'''. |

Some of the characters whose metagens were activated by the parasites are [[Argus (comics)|Argus]], [[Loose Cannon (comics)|Loose Cannon]], Razorsharp, Terrorsmith, [[Hitman (comics)|Hitman]] and [[Gunfire (comics)|Gunfire]]. If too much parasite venom was absorbed by the host's system it would cause hideous abnormalities, as seen with Terrorsmith. The mother alien known as the Taker, was destroyed with the help of all the human new bloods. Pax helped banish these aliens by sealing them up in the other-dimensional home of the Taker. |

==Return== |

A group of parasitic aliens infiltrated a space shuttle returning to earth. When the JLA sent Green Lantern to investigate, his ring's readings showed that these parasites had genetic similarities with the Bloodlines parasites. These aliens, however, were much smaller and permanently attached themselves to their human hosts. They controlled their hosts' minds, could communicate telepathically, and gave each non-superpowered host a superpower. They managed to take control, or incapacitate the entire Justice League on the moon. In order to stop them from reaching earth, [[Hitman]] (who was invited to the JLA Watchtower so that his blood could be analyzed) had to kill or maim several of the astronaut hosts. While some members of the JLA felt that this was murder, others recognized that Hitman stopped the invasion the only way he could <sup>(2)</sup>. |
