It was a tag line from the first movie, and in the case of film Blade it was actually true. It's a bad-ass phrase, I'm sure it has been referenced in on panel, it sounds cool as f@ck, but that doesn't make it true. It's up to you to apply some critical thinking to what you read Snoop, its pretty clear Blade doesn't have "all of their strengths and none of their weaknesses." We know he needs to breath. We know he can't regrow limbs. There is a whole list of a vampiric abilities Blade doesn't have. He is fast but he isn't elder vampire bullet catching fast, he is Olympic to Peak Human MA fast.

Like I've said - it is your job as a comic reader to use some critical thinking. Not everything you read is accurate. Captain America strongly implied he was more skill than Mantis. He isn't. Oracle said Black Canary was more skilled than Batman. She isn't. Critical thinking. Blade has weakness that vampires don't have and they have powers he doesn't have, ergo the statement "all of their strengths, none of their weaknesses," is false.

Well, until there is proof that Blade has beaten anyone better than Ras, Wolverine or Bruce, in a swordfight, the ranking still stands.

Ras
Logan
Bruce
Blade

Varnae was a giant monster when Conan fought him, he didn't use a sword. He didn't even have a human form until shortly before he appeared in the Blade series. I think he got it in a Ghost Rider / Jonny Blaze issue IIRC. He isn't exactly king of the sword.

But the vampire form he used was from a vampire who was throwing Ghost Rider around iirc.

Nice.

I can't see Logan beating Batman in a duel.

For me...that dude was obviously good with a sword. Unless you really think a 100 plus year old vampire hunter is that bad with a sword.

Everyone who uses a sword in comics is good with one, but there is a difference between being good with a sword, being great and being amazing with a sword. If you are able to content with Batman in anything, you are awesome and nearly peerless at that craft. Can you realistically say the same thing about someone who beats Blade? I'm not so sure.

lol look at that third picture and notice how Ra's Al Ghul sticks his chest out and gets stabbed like a master swordsman

Maybe Blade should teach him his get disarmed in two panels tactic? 😎

Did that end with Blade thrusting his chest foward and getting stabbed

When i did my ranking i took in to account physical ability and powerset and still determined that Ras is the best with a sword. Batman beating him proves that he's a better fight practitioner and has better physical stats. It doesn't necessarily prove he's a better swordsman. My opinion, though.

Fair enough.

But who got pwned

Reading comprehension ftw.

Operating under the implication that Wolverine is currently a better swordsman than Silver Samurai - who himself is above everyone on this list - Wolverine would take the top spot. 😎

Reading Miscomprehension FTW
