Wasn't speaking of any "actual" upgrades, just that he was more impressive and in my own opinion, which may differ from other's who think that movie version is "gay" or whatever. You must admit that movies (depending on their popularty), often influence a character to at least a minor degree however. But none of this is important anyways.
Wasn't he less of what he is now, a halfvampire with a sword?
Originally posted by Nataku8188Actually the movie came out in August of 1998. Blade was upgraded in August of 1999 in Peter Parker Spider-Man #8. When Morbius bit him it gave him a unique form of the virus and also game him vampiric powers like speed, strength, healing etc. but has none of the weaknesses. Prior to that he was just a regular human with some powers.
Wrong again CM. Comic Blade was upgraded before the movie, they only slightly changed his look and added guns because of the movie.
But this gauntlet is kinda tough. I do think he can take Cap one on one but with Falcon on the team he looses.

Not so. He was given leather and more impressive sword skills much earlier in the Nightstalkers comics. Later he was given guns and a different look.
Originally posted by Nataku8188Yea but he did not have any vampiric powers. Trust me I know this cause I have all of Blades comics including all 18 issues of Nightstalkers.

So do I. Let me crack one open right now.
Nightstalker issue ONE, blade says on page (Counting the ad pages) 14, fourth panel ( The wide one in the middle )
"Blooduscker blood in my veins gives me a nose for the dark side... I don't need it to smell there's B.S. here"
That's a vampiric power.
Hell, he's even carrying a shotgun that fires stakes (A la Blade the movie)
Nightstalkers issue 3 even retells how his mother was bitten while pregnent and he was born to a corpse.
Trust me, Blade the movie DID have an impact on the character, but he was already heading down that route anyways.
Originally posted by Nataku8188That's why I said in a earlier post he had some powers. That power was the ability to sense the supernatural and he was immune to Vampire bites. When Morbius bit him it gave him the other powers like strength, speed, healing, etc. That was after the first movie.

Originally posted by Nataku8188I misunderstood what you were saying. But yea Blade had the daggers, swords, silver spikes, leather etc. before the movies.
That it was. I was simply stating he didn't get the full overhaul from oldschool daggers'n'fro just because of the movie, they were already heading in that direction several years prior. Hell, he's even got an oldschool version of the glaive in NS 3.
