Blade vs Punisher

Not really, they where like cat scratches across his face. The disappeared in between issue 7 and issue 8. Not exactly glowing proof of a healing factor. Taskmaster has completely healed broken limbs in the space between issues. That is like magic hero refresh period for minor wounds.

That's a stretch. Vitality is more synonymous with stamina and vigor that it is healing. I would wager that is a reference to his long life span. Still not exactly a confirmation of a healing factor.

So you're implying that the narration meant that he has all the power and vitality of the most powerful undead....other than healing abilities? Really?

guggenheims annotated bibliography of the character, read his abilities, visit the respect thread, and shut up.

Don't tell Hillary Srank to shut up! 🙁

Spitfire and Morbius aren't real full vampires. You are right that Hrolf Draconis never demonstrated them but that isn't exactly evidence of them not having them. Dracula doesn't go man-bat or turn into mist every time he shows up either. /shrug

Rap isn't music, it is the lowest common denominator of noise. A series of trite comments about drugs/money/speakers/guns/jewelry/shoes/bitches forced into a rudimentary, nursery school rhyme scheme by a man who more often than not wouldn't recognize a guitar if you smacked him upside the head with it. The end result is something that could be easily replicated by any five your old in a kidder garden class with a rhyming dictionary. A cease pool of moronic ramblings on extravagance recited by a bunch of scum bags with jewelry in their faces, over top a 10 second drum beat repeated ad nauseam on a 10 second loop, or if you are lucky over a sample of a real song made by an actual musician years ago who actually had an iota of talent. The fact that you would not only listen to this but use it as your screen name leaves me to believe that you are, in fact, an idiot; and that your opinion on any subject mater is suspect.

Don't patronize me by misspelling my screen name, and I won't make fun of yours. 😎

Look at the scans and look at the gashes in Blade's face when they show his head from behind. It's apparant they were pretty good wounds. By the time the fight was over they were gone.

I'm implying that vitality isn't a synonym for healing factor. I mean, I've used the word vitality before, and I can't be entirely sure but I am pretty sure I wasn't suggesting the existence of a healing factor when I did.

Well, it is true that absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence; absence of evidence is still absence of evidence. Blade hasn't demonstrated a healing factor on panel. That's the reality of the situation. Sure he might have one, its likely that he does have one, but until he shows speculating on what he might be to do is of no use for us. If Punisher shots Blade with in the chest with bullets there is nothing on panel to suggest that won't be effective.

srank, just admit it, you hate black vampires.

Will do...

I still don't think I'm trolling though, seeing as - you know - I'm right. The only time Blade has show a healing factor - is in the movie. 😮

Punisher shot Blade in the back in a comic that might not even be canon. Blade might have been wearing Kevlar, he usually does, Punisher said he was, Blade inferred that he wasn't. Not exactly concrete evidence to bring to the jury.

The are both vampires. Those are established abilities that vampires posses. Blade - strictly speaking - is not a vampire. They aren't exactly the same thing.

^ Why is the canonicity of Marvel Team-Up in question?

I forget why but some guys at my LCS where arguing about this on Wednesday apparently a bunch of characters still active in the Marvel U, formed a team got stranded in the future and stayed there.

And Invincible crossed over with it too once or twice I think. /srhug

^ Marvel Team-Up is also where the Skrull, Crusader, got his Freedom Ring from his dying friend. If you remember, Crusader joins Stark's Initiative and saves them during Secret Invasion...

... unless you now want to vote Secret Invasion out of continuity?

Hmmm.... well Secret Invasion did kind of suck...

Like I said: It might not be canon. Part of it for sure is not canon, some of it could be... but that seems weird as I think the non canon stuff intersected with the canon stuff. Right now I'm not to considered with the continuity shattering implications of an ancillary character like Crusader appearing in both MTU and Secret Invasion.

Does anyone have the entire run of the last MTU series? I just have the Wolverine appearances. Can someone read it and give their impressions on the canon-ticity of the run?
