Fictional character biography

Shiklah is a succubus who once ruled over Earth's monsters with her family, long before humans appeared. Her natural appearance is like a humanoid bull, though she typically disguises herself as a human woman. When vampires conquered her father's kingdom, he locked her inside a coffin, intending for her to stay there until the war ended or she got married. Dracula hired Deadpool to bring Shiklah to him so he could wed her and bring all monsters under his control.

After Shiklah rescued Deadpool from a ghost trying to possess him, she confessed she had feelings for him. Deadpool rejected her because he feared another relationship would end badly, like all his past ones. Once they reached New York City, Nightcrawler officiated their wedding. Later, in All-New, All-Different Marvel, Shiklah began treating Deadpool with contempt.

While lounging in bed with Werewolf by Night and a gorgon, she mentioned Deadpool was one of her husbands. Deadpool eventually found out she was cheating on him with Werewolf by Night. Angry that Deadpool supported humans, Shiklah started a war to take over New York. During the conflict, Dracula proposed, and Shiklah married him.
