Blade doesn't hang around mainstream Marvel, true, because he's a one demensional character. But that isn't what keeps him from having impressive enough feats to be able to hang with someone in Elektra's league.
Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes are definitely nowhere near the mainstream MU and their feats are uber, and clearly demonstrated.
Blade simply doesn't have them.
The fact that there are comparible factors between E and B due to mainstream Marvel is just icing on the cake.... Almost every high end feat Elektra has is better than Blades as far as I've been made aware.... And in spite of my distate for Blade I HAVE read and own a number of his books (mostly because I really got into the Blade movies and was hoping the comics would be more of the same only to be sorely dissapointed).
There's reasons for WHY we keep bringing up DD and Wolverine.. it's because you guys seemed to be under the impression that she's nowhere near top tier level and that she hadn't fought anyone near that level in her life. Which is entirely innaccurate.
Remember Alf, it's YOU that wants to base what these characters are capible of based on who they fight, not us. You want to throw around the name game? Fine, but you need to realise a few things...
Elektra's superior in that fasion still and names are going to be thrown back at you.
he's stated to be a master of every known weapon...thats not a title, thats a fact, add to the fact he's barely ever lost to any foe I'd say he has the skill to back it. What evidence does elektra have that proves she's more skilled? she trained as a ninja, that means shes a more skilled ninja, but blade never trained as a ninja he trained to be proficient in every known weapon and he has, prove the elektra is more skilled in weapon use.
You saying he's a one-dimensional characters stems from your general dislike of him...since he has many levels to his personality, like any character in the marvel universe, save your opinion on the character for yourself.
I would also like to add there hasn't been a single feat provided that outclasses blade, save for Elektra dagger carrying a mans hand through his body, (equalled by blade shattering a demon by sending knives through it) THat has been the only feat provided, and suddenly Elektra outclasses him in every way?
What elektra has shown his mastery of her ninja arts, vanishing right in front of people, changing her appearance, these are illusions coupled with her speed, not pure speed. It's not as if these would work on Blade, seeing as it has been stated Elektra body courses with a little bit of the mystical natures of the hand, meaning Blade would be able to sense her quite easily.
