That doesn't really say much. Since Vampires from Underworld are much stronger.
Lets go over Selene's feats. In the first movie, she kills Viktor.
Lets go over Viktor. He is one of the elder vampires like someone mentioned earlier. Viktor is at least around 800 years old. In the Underworld universe, Vampires become more powerful over time. This is quite evident when Viktor singlehandedly takes out two Lycans with a single punch.
Well, that doesn't mean anything unless we know how powerful a Lycan is. Well, in the first movie, Lycans are almost always stronger than Vampires, with the exception of Elders and Hybrids. They possess physical strength, durability, reflexes, and speed superior to those of vampires, and have been seen to power through solid concrete walls in Lycan form.
* A first-generation Lycan was able to send a fully armoured vampire flying at least ten feet through the wall of a villager's hut. These traits seem to apply even when the Lycans are in human form, as Lucian was seen to be able to catch a moving car, and subsequently survive being hit by it at point blank range with no injuries. Lycans can also use their claws and strength to scale sheer surfaces, having been seen to crawl along walls at great speed in pursuit of prey.
Lycans also possess superb physical resilience and remarkable regenerative abilities: both Lucian and Raze are wounded, by silver bullets and Selene's throwing stars respectively, yet they bear no marks or scars when they reappear later in the film. * (Taken from Wiki)
William Corvinus, the first Lycan is vastly more powerful than any of his Lycan descendants. However, he was no match for his Hybrid relative, Michael Corvin, who ripped his jaw apart, killing him.
Now, I hope I don't need to explain just how powerful Michael is. He even ressurected himself after he died.
Now, lets jump back to Viktor - Viktor was able to take Michael out. That just shows the extent of how powerful Viktor is.

Now lets go through Underworld Evolution.
Near the beginning, Selene takes a blast from a shot gun at point blank range to her abdomen with no apparent effect. She's also seen to move fast enough to evade gun fire (and I don't mean jumping around doing somersaults , I mean actaully dodging the bullets). This shows her high level of durability, speed and regenerative abilities.
Later in the movie, Selene drinks blood from the first Immortal, Alexander Corvinus and becomes "the future". She is no longer simply a vampire, but something more. Subsequently she was able to defeat Marcus Corvinus, the most powerful Hybrid. She is also seen to be unaffected by daylight at the end of the movie, once again depicting her transformation into something more powerful.
Again, like the Lycans, I'm going to show how powerful Marcus Corvinus really is to draw meaningful comparisons.
In the beginning of the movie, Marcus is repeating shot (for at least 4-5 mins) by automatics, yet it had no ill effect. He was even shot in the head/face. He is more powerful than Michael, Viktor and his brother William, and thats really saying something.
With that said, Selene was able to physically overpower him, breaking his bladed wing with one hand.
- Now don't get me wrong, Vampires from the Blade series are still very powerful, but I just havent seem them anywhere near the levels of Vampire Elders / Hybrids from Underworld. Reapers are probably the exception. I mean even Dracula didn't seem to be much more powerful than the average Vampire in the movie. Deacon Frost with his new-found powers would probably be the most formidable opponent, yet I easily see Viktor, Michael or Marcus beating him.
I'm going to watch Underworld now! lol, then maybe come back and include something I missed.
