Succubus (Marvel)

Succubus is the name of an Agent of Nightmare and an enemy of Daredevil and Ghost Rider - she is a demon and earns her name from the legendary medieval demon of the same name, which was believed to haunt the dreams of sleeping men.

History
Succubus, preparing to track down Dan Ketch for her master Nightmare, sapped the life essence from boxer-turned-homeless man Henry Bronson, who was living at St. Ann’s Shelter For Homeless Men. After doing so, she apparently crushed his neck, though he didn’t immediately die. Soon after, she confronted Ketch and tried to seduce him, but her touch triggered Ketch’s transformation into Ghost Rider. Realizing Ghost Rider was too strong, Succubus escaped, and returned to the Shelter, where she attempted to drain another drifter’s life force. At that moment, Matt Murdock (Daredevil) arrived on the premises with a box of canned food to donate. He confronted Succubus, who then attempted to drain the life essence from yet another resident of the Shelter. However, this particular resident was Calvin Zabo, the alter ego of the criminal known as Mister Hyde. Like with Ghost Rider, Succubus triggered Zabo’s transformation, and the two, along with a now-costumed Daredevil, engaged in a fight in the street outside the building. Dan Ketch came across the conflict, and when Succubus attempted again to take his essence, he reverted to Ghost Rider. While Daredevil then contended with Succubus, knocking her out, Ghost Rider did likewise with Hyde. Shortly after the heroes departed, Succubus came to, and attempted to finish her attempt at taking the unconscious Hyde’s life force.
