Blade was created by Marv Wolfman and Gene Colan.
Background
Physical appearance
Blade is a strong and tall man dressed in black clothing. Due to being a dhampir, half-human and half-vampire, he possesses fangs that are often concealed.
Due to Blade's nature as a dhampir, his eyes are hurt by sunlight, which is why he always wears sunglasses.
Powers/skills
Blade has all of vampiric powers and none of the weakness (beyond his eyes being hurt by sunlight, and a thirst for blood). He has superhuman strength, speed, stamina, senses, rapid regeneration, nigh-immortality & immunity to sunlight, wooden stakes, silver, garlic, and holy water. He counters his thirst for blood by consuming animal blood, blood from blood banks, and a serum that is similar enough to blood for him to consume.
Trivia
- In the comics, Blade is a half human/half vampire hybrid. He has all of a vampire's powers, and none of the weaknesses, and he was born with those powers after his mother was attacked and killed by Deacon Frost while she was pregnant with him.
