'''''Blood Pack''''' was a team comic spinning off from ''[[Bloodlines (comics)|Bloodlines]]'', an intracompany [[fictional crossover|crossover]] that spanned all of the [[annual publication|annuals]] published by [[DC Comics]] in [[1993]]. The series was created by [[Charles Moore]] and Christopher Taylor. |

==Team history== |

[[Image:Bloodpackdc.jpg|thumb|left|120px|Blood Pack #1, art by Christopher Taylor]] |
|||
The villains of the '''Bloodlines''' crossover were a race of alien parasites that could [[shapeshift]] into [[humanoid]] form. The [[Bloodlines Parasites|Alien Parasites']] bite was administered to the back of the neck by a mouth-within-a-mouth obviously intended as a reference to the titular creature of the ''[[Alien (movie)|Alien]]'' series. This bite usually killed the victim for food but occasionally awakened [[superhuman]] powers in the recipient, as this was also the means by which the creatures could reproduce. |
|||
Each of the annuals involved in the crossover uses this [[plot device]] to introduce a new super-powered character to the [[DC Universe]]. |
|||
A large group of these characters, called together by their shared heritage, become involved in the fight against the alien parasites, rescusing many veteran superheros in the process. |
|||
===Infinite Crisis=== |
