Don't get me wrong I like Bishop cause he's cool. His roughness is explained by his growing up in another time, and he has displayed the fact that he has a heart. I don't care what race he is.
And Storm was cool as well, very gentle despite the whole goddess thing. she was really nurturing and the like. But again, I didn't care about what race she was. Hell I even had a poster of who I thought was her for a time up on my wall. Figured since comic book characters don't have a consistant look that it might as well have been her. And she looked like she was wearing one of thsoe savage land outfits IIRC. it was hot too.
hmmmmm savage land storm..... the tatters right?
Anways, I'm just speculating here, it's mostly due to one or two members admitting it, and another couple not denying it when called out.
I can't honestly say I can see much more appeal in the character. He was born out of blacksploitation and has almost always had a horrid design. His story and powers are very similar to other more notable and interesting characters, his personality is quite 2 demensional.
The best series I've ever seen of his was derived from his max series which isn't even canon. And, my personal favorite Blade incarnation was his movie version which I'm actually a fan of in contrast with his comic book counterpart.
