Blade's strength is described as superhuman. Matt's is not, infact his last ranking was 450lbs in the handbooks compared to Blade's 1 ton.
Handbooks are total bull. Summed up by the fact that DD has swung a 400lb weight around like a weapon and then thrown it at speed before. He has flipped over a limo, bent steel bars on several occasions and casually dangled a large and presumably heavy man over a building edge using only one arm. DD is well into the peak human range in terms of strength. In short he is only a fraction below Blade in strength.
Blade has ripped a vamps head off. Good, but no more than 1tonne strength me thinks.

His martial arts ability edge is slightly if at all. However, Blade has a significant strength, speed and durability advantage.
No it is more than slight. DD is a top tier, one of the best, Blade in my opinion is a solid third. Blade does not have a significant physical advantage. DD blocks bullets with his batons and has insane agility.

Originally posted by Warrior18Feats are not a good comparsion unless you have a direct comparison to make which in this case we do not. DD is stronger than the average human, just as Blade is stronger than the average vampire. DD's only real edge is MA skill.
So? The difference between peak humans and low superhumans like Blade is minimal. Based on feats that is and not handbook definitions.

But..........we can compare their feats. That's how this forum works. DD's strength feats are all greater than Blade's except the one where he rips that dude's head off. Speed wise you would be hard pressed to find a blade feat that matches DD's blocking and deflecting of bullets.
Originally posted by Warrior18Flipping a limo over is impressive. But that's in the realm of human possibility. However ripping somebodies head off I'm pretty sure has never happened yet.

Er................I know, which is why I said that is the only Blade strength feat which DD has not surpassed. However it is still not good enough to place him that far above DD.

How strong is spitfire? How much can she lift? I'm not denying Blade is stronger than DD, he just isn't THAT much stronger. It would not mean anything since DD has fought and survived against Spiderman who is miles stronger and faster than Blade.

Spitfire just manifested her vampiric powers along with her hypersonic speed. Don't know exactly how strong she is but she snapped one of Blade's swords. And I must admitt I have never seen one of his swords broke so easily.
Did she punch the sword? If so then that is striking power, not necesarilly strength. Case in point, boxers and other fighters who can generate thousands of pounds of force from a single punch.
Anyway we digress. Blade is stronger, but not by much.
He may be faster, but the more I think about it,DD has rediculous speed feats, so.............
Blade edges him out durability wise. But agian not by much.
DD is a top tier fighter. Arguably in Marvels top five and with much better training than Blade. Blade is no where near this.
DD 6 or 7/10
