Blade (Comic Book): Difference between revisions

* [[Disappeared Dad]]: Lucas Cross claims to be Blade's father, as he was Tara Brook's lover. Given how her profession though, there is a good chance he isn't. His excuse for not being around is being locked up in Latveria for a crime he did not commit.

** [[I Hate You, Vampire Dad]]: Well Blade doesn't care for Lucas and him becoming a vampire to escape imprisonment did not improve their relationship. Blade doesn't like Deacon Frost or Morbius, the ones responsible for his own vampire state, either. He hates the latter least of the three and the middle the most.

* [[Evil Versus Evil]]: Cyclops's reasoning in bringing back Dracula is that he won't approve of the current vampire lord Xarus and will make dealing with him easier. Blade is clearly not a fan of this, especially since he's seen it play out before with Dr. Sun.

* [[Expy]]: Blade in the original comics was an admitted [[Expy]] of [[Blaxploitation]] characters, particularly John [[Shaft]] right down to the afro and brown leather jacket. He picked up the ebonics from Americans later, though - he's native to Britain.

* [[Stout Strength]]: Varne is not a the ideal picture of fitness but is stronger and faster than Dracula unless he is artificially powered up by something. Steppin' Razor too, if not to the same degree.

* [[Summon Bigger Fish]]: The Reaper was a legendary creature summoned by vampires to deal with Blade's new superpowers but proved difficult to control. If Blade hadn't defeated it, it could have easily displaced him as their problem.

* [[Super Registration Act]]: After this one is passed in Marvel USA, S.H.I.E.L.D. wastes little time in ''legally'' forcing Blade to work for them.

* [[Super Speed]]:After getting his powers, its noted that's he's uncannily quick, even among other vampires. Draconis and Spitfire are possibly even faster.
