I'd rather you show me a scan of Nightwing drawn in a blur. I hope it tips the fridge feat. That was funny as hell.

it's clear and supported by on-panel evidence that he left an after-image, even after he moved to his opponents back, she continued to strike as she didn't realize he wasn't there. nice try again though.

Why is Blade's speed even in question?

so first the vampiric healing, now the speed.
1. he has stated vampiric speed
2. the narrative never exaggerated on-panel events, only made them poetic
3. you're construing the meaning of what was stated to suit you, it states time-slows for Blade, clearly meaning he perceived the world slow enough to speed blitz several of his opponents, who clearly weren't capable of keeping up with his movements. To be able to move at superhuman speeds you must be able to perceive the world slower and have an increased reaction time.

Vampiric healing, which I was also right about if you've been keeping score.

Exaggerating on-panel events is exactly what happened.

I'm not misconstruing the meaning at all, I'm completely disregarding it. It's a poem. The writer wanted to say "Blade is fast," so he wrote something more elaborate and poetic... that's how poetry work. You are the one trying to interpret a freaking verse of poetry into something of any relevance. Do you not see the absurdity of that? IT WAS A POEM! This is crazy.

There are dozens of after images feats of Nightwing, go look them up, it won't take you long.

I said blur, like you mentioned earlier. I've seen Louis Lane drawn in after images.

Seems to me the "blur" is exactly the same thing as an after image, just without the reference point of the next motion in the same panel. It's just action lines to denote motion. I'd have to look for one, I know its happened on limbs, not sure about full body though.

Rank the following based on their skill with a sword. I realize that the different character prefer different kinds of swords. This isn't putting them against each other. I just want them ranked as far as technical skill with them wielding their preferred weapon.

Batman
Black Panther
Blade
Captain America
Deadpool
Deathstroke
Doctor Doom
Green Arrow
Nightcrawler
Psylocke
Ra's Al Ghul
Wolverine
Wonder Woman

Taskmaster can beat or at the very least draw with anyone on that list in a swordfight.

well not exactly he is limited by human reflexes so Nightcrawler,Deadpool, and Blade should be able to beat him

who gives a shit about Taskmaster, he's not apart of this. Katana, Clock King and the Swordsman are better than a lot of these people too... not the point.

Wolverine is the best on this list.

This discussion is nonsense. Blade is faster than humans. His time perception is slower compared to theirs. So what? Most people in comics are that way. Blade's not even the fastest in this list. Wonder Woman would stomp everybody here in a swordfight, that's not what the op is asking.

He belongs on a swordsmanship list.

So... he tries to puncture his eardrum, but slices off part of his ear instead? 😕 😛

All those guys mentioned are obviously the best. I want to see the list in the OP ranked.
