The original 1990s Blade film is still one of the greatest comic book adaptations they've done. Far superior to the more bland and childish superhero films that are made now. Wesley Snipes was perfectly cast.👍

Blade explained it in the movies quite clearly that he is a daywalker/ half vampire. He isn't effected by sun light while at the same time is extra strength when it's night time.

Exactly they literally explained this if people watched it

[@montyaduloju3768]

@stactionsmedia3318 which is probably true and I appluad you for knowing that. But you and I both know that most movies aren't made for accuracy. I can guarantee most have seen the movie and not the comics. Hence why I said the MOVIES. not the character itself. So actually it is accurate cinema wise. In the movies, this is what happened. However I didn't know that morbius had anything to do with blade. Which they failed to reference that in the recent sony movie as well. Maybe in the old TV show I may have saw it but I doubt I can remember that from the several adaptations.

[@montyaduloju3768]

Blade in the Marvel Comics continuity had a child with a mutant name Spitfire. Blade is still human, his genetics is unique because it can adapt to change(he still ages slower than a human). After Blade was bitten by Morbius, he gained supernatural abilities that was vampiric in nature. Overall, Blade is a lot stronger than characters whom has superpowers. Thats what make him very unique.

[@6FStyleCo]

[@spiritualkiller14]

Black people don't view the sun as harmful because our skin literally absorbs sunlight. We have Neuro melanin which is the purest form of melanin found all throughout the body including the Pineal gland. Other races of people have regular melanin, which protects them from uv radiation from the sun cause their not built for it. It make you ask yourself where do other races of of people really come from because why does the sun harm them if their suppose to br natural to the earth and cosmos? 👀 🐟 genetic experimentation at its finest.

[@quintin3945]

You are half right. People with darker skin are able to absorb more sunlight, hence why their skin is darker to begin with. How are darker skinned people going to be vitamin D deficient if their skin is capable of absorbing and withstanding more UV rays than people with less melanin?

[@TotalDec]

Yeah, this is generally a thing in vamp lore. Black vamps tolerate house light. While White vamps burn from a speck of light.

[@Dre-yd2xh]

in the blade tv show (which is canon to the films), it was shown that blade can actually turn people into regular vampires from his bite, since his saliva still produces the enzyme that turn people into vampires. In the show blade was capture by his childhood gang the bad bloods (which is where he got his tattoos) cause blade bit them all and turned him into vampires, so yeah, his bite would still turn someone into a (full) vampire, and not a daywalker

[@rulerjayohenn3161]

A quick explanation for blade being one of a kind is that. No matter what blade was meant to be a mutant. Had he not been a vampire blade would have been a mutant with the ability of immortality. In an alternate universe of my head cannon blade still becomes blade Hunting vampires because a vampire killed his mother, instead in this world the only vampire powers he gained was speed, agility, and all super senses. No blood lust no blood high. He is not a vampire. When he studies his blood, the lack of vampirism reveals his x gene. An Xgene that would suggest he always had one originally. When he is bit in And turns into a daywalker, its his xgene adapting to the vampire invading dna. In most universes (99%) he turns into a day walker, already one of a kind, but in one particular universe he is pure superhuman effectively a stronger immortal and would become in that universe one of the strongest heroes on the levels oh cap. Completely one of a kind across the entire multiverse

[@kingdawg5830]

@stactionsmedia3318 I'm aware of the backstory change in the 90s but due to Deacon Frost feeding on Tara the mother of Blade/Eric, caused him to be born with certain qualities, which made him more vampire than mutant but he didn't get all of the superhuman qualities until Morbius.
