Gabriel Van Helsing
for Gabriel Van Helsing in Van Helsing 2
Suggested by jeanpaulvalley

I imagine what a sequel to the 2004 film "Van Helsing" would look like. As the "Steel Arm of God" continues to question his past, the Vatican sends him on a perilous new mission to Sleepy Hollow. Once there, he will realize that the legendary "Headless Horseman" who terrorizes the region is only a weapon serving a truly evil person who he will have to stop before it is too late. To achieve this, in addition to the support of Carl, he can count on the help of some exceptional beings, starting with the Creature of Frankenstein, who came to these places to find his place in this world by facing the monsters. However, Gabriel will understand that everything that is not human or different is not necessarily bad. He will meet, befriend, and even become friends with an unjustly cursed mummy princess, who was on display at the Sleepy Hollow museum before being resurrected by the same person who summoned the Horseman. As well as a reptilian creature from the depths of time, unjustly tormented by itinerant showmen, "Gill-Man" then approaching the Mummy, because both understand that their pain is the same. Finally, Gabriel will be able to count on the support of a strange Invisible Man, who is not the psychopathic serial killer that they claim, but a man fighting against darkness and who can help Van Helsing in his investigation. Whatever happens in Sleepy Hollow, things will never be right for Gabriel...maybe even for the better !
