However, this is debatable in the Marvel Universe, as her true nature is shrouded in mystery thanks to several conflicting origin stories. As in the Bible-adjacent stories from which she originates, Marvel's Lilith claims to be the first wife of Adam, the first human created by God in Judeo-Christian theology, though in Marvel Comics she purports that she and Adam are survivors of a much more hedonistic world that was destroyed before the Marvel Universe was created. In Marvel Comics terms, Lilith is adapted from the apocryphal character of the same name from early Judaic writings. Strange organizes those nine heroes - Ghost Rider Johnny Blaze (then in human form), Ghost Rider Danny Ketch (the Spirit of Vengeance at the time), Blade the vampire hunter, Morbius the Living Vampire, anti- Darkhold mage Victoria Montesi, human occultist Louise Hastings, exorcist/soldier Sam Buchanan, Dracula's descendant Frank Drake, and vampiric private investigator Hannibal King - as the Midnight Sons to take on Lilith and her brood of Lilin before they can spread their demonic influence across the Earth. In the story Spirits of Vengeance: Rise of the Midnight Sons, which lends its inspiration directly to the Midnight Suns game, Strange uncovers the burgeoning threat of the demonic Lilith and her monstrous children the Lilin, along with a prophecy of nine supernatural heroes who must unite to defeat her. The Midnight Sons came together under the guidance of Doctor Strange, who was also the organizer of the similar, loosely associated 'non-team' the Defenders. Less a team of tightly connected allies like the Avengers and more a loose collective of heroes who come together for specific goals when the need arises, the Midnight Sons became something of Marvel's go-to occult experts in the '90s. The Midnight Sons are one of Marvel's oddest superhero teams.
