Mosquito Man (The Super Villain)
Due to the superhero boom, I have heard a rumor that Count Dracula is dressing up as the super villain Mosquito Man. That way, if he drinks everyone's blood, everyone will think he's a super villain, and not a vampire. And then he'll just have to fight superheroes in spandex outfits, and he won't have to sweat the crosses and stakes and wolfsbane and silver and stuff. Plus, ever since the superhero craze broke out in earnest (thanks to the superhero movie craze), Count Dracula costumes are selling worse than ever, so Dracula's trying to reinvent himself and horn in on a new Halloween costume fad as the super villain Mosquito Man. (Although maybe Bedbug Man would be more appropriate. After all, bedbugs are more feared than mosquitos {at least by Americans}, and they hide in dark places and come out at night to drink blood. So maybe he's Bedbug Man, at least in America.)
