David Powers is a fictional character from the 1987 film The Lost Boys portrayed by Kiefer Sutherland.
In the film David is initially believed to be the main antagonist of the film, being the head of a gang of vampires in the fictional town of Santa Carla, but he is later revealed to have simply been an underling of Max.
Not much is known about David's life before becoming a vampire. At some point, he was sired by Max and went on to create his own gang of subordinates. The audience is introduced to David through the eyes of Michael Emerson, and Michael's fascination with a girl named Star, whom David appears to be in a relationship with. The next day Michael meets with Star again and is provoked by David in participating in a dangerous motorcycle race. Michael is then lured back to David's lair where he undergoes an unsettling initiation before unknowingly drinking blood and becoming a vampire. The gang each hangs off the underside of an elevated train and dive off individually. Michael then loses his grip and falls off, waking up in his bed.
Michael attempts to confront David about his newly discovered vampirism, who in turn takes Michael to attack a group of Surf Nazis at a bonfire, hoping to prompt him into killing. Michael however grows uncomfortable and horrified and returns home to his brother, Sam, who has become friends with a pair of self-proclaimed vampire hunters, Edgar and Alan Frog. Star appears to Michael and reveals that she is a half-vampire as well, and David had intended for Michael to be her first kill, turning her into a full vampire. Michael leads Sam, Edgar, and Alan to the vampire lair during the daytime while they are hibernating, which results in the death of one of David's underlings - Marko. The group only barely escapes as David's hand comes into brief contact with sunlight, while the group escapes with Star and Laddie, another half-vampire child.
That evening, Michael and Sam's mother, Lucy goes on a date with Max, and her father is out of the house, leading to the perfect opportunity for Michael, Sam, Edgar and Alan to arm themselves to face the vampires. The vampires attack, leading to the deaths of Paul and Dwayne. David and Michael face off, which ends with David being impaled on deer antlers, leaving his final fate unknown.
