Sure adamantium can hurt Cage, but does Blade has the strength to make it pass through his skin? If you have scans of Blade piercing titanium with a sword then I say yes. Otherwise...

What are people's thoughts on this now? Cage is much strong than Blade at this point since the upgrade.
2010 Cage was already after his upgrade.
And even originally, he was still a whole lot stronger than Blade.

Also side question: I vaguely remember Ultimate Blade did this hypnosis thing on Hulk, but has 616 Blade ever done this?
Not that I recall.

Anyway, Blade is no longer using his adamantium odachi, afaik. That doesn't bode well for him here.

I guess you're right! I remember Blade with some super-strength feats but nothing much more than ripping chains and whatnot.

Found what I was thinking of! It was Tyrone Cash not Banner Hulk:
...Weird feat tbh. And it's safe to say 616 Eric could not do this, right?
Anyway, even with the adamantium sword I think Blade has trouble. Why was everyone so convinced otherwise 9 years ago?

Doubt he can. He turned into a bat once, though 😂Because adamantium has much better feats than one-shotting the likes of Cage.
That and Blade should have the speed and skill advantages here (not to mention range, unless Cage decided to t-clap).
Got it. So with the adamantium weaponry, it does appear to be a good fight. I still think that even if Blade can pierce Cage's skin (which he very much can w/ the speed, range, and skill set you mention), Cage still has a healing factor, and can eventually get to Blade, rip him to shreds, no?
Also I been Googling "Blade turns into a bat" since you made this post and now ads for blades sheathed in baseball bats are popping up on all my web pages.
No... Cage doesn't have a battlefield-effective healing factor.
He's got the accelerated healing that most superheroes have (at least those whose powers focus on enhancing their physical attributes). Like Beast, Spider-Man and many others. It won't do him any good in a forum fight.
If anyone has a battlefield type of regen... it's Blade here. Even though it took many years for writers to decide to write him that way.

Got it. Still though, Cage had a pretty impressive showing against Sabertooth a while back, and I'm pretty sure Victor is supposed to be stronger and faster than Eric (and possibly Cage at that point), and Victor's claws are also adamantium ...(not sure if this is a valued showing, or if it's considered on par with Storm/Sinister or Panther Surfer)...
The one consideration is Blade is much smarter than Sabertooth, and probably would not start out by getting so close
