However, in at least a couple of mythoi, the blessed crucifix or other holy symbol protects the true believer, regardless of the vampire's personal beliefs.
Yes, an *old* issue of X-Men dealt with this when they fought Dracula.
Wolverine extended a claw on each hand and held them up as a cross. Dracula sneeered "Fool! You have to *believe*.." as he threw Wolvie halfway across Central Park.
At which point Kitty Pride goes "Oh really?" and pulls this *tiny* Star of ADavid pendant out from under her uniform. And Dracula backs off rapidly.
Still, the way the list (and a certain movie "Oy! Have *you* got the wrong vampire!" :-) does it can be fun too.
