so basically the general consensus is that despite having all the powers of a vampire, blade is slower and weaker than peak humans and possess no type of healing ability (despite showing that he can heal stab/shot wounds mid-battle). it's honestly ridiculous how far some people will go to underrate a character.
is the whole all their powers and none of their weaknesses a comic narration statement?
anyways.......
its a broad term since he clearly does not possesses all of their abilities and there are variations of vampires from freshly turned to elders to demon versions..
blade clearly does not possesses all their abilities and to make it worse his upgrade is from Morbius a scientific mutation not a supernatural vampire.

well now we know you don't follow the character and haven't read the wolverine vs. blade issue.
i read his comic here and there i dont care enough about him as character either way.
i am aware of there fights and i am sure i know plenty about blade to the point i might know a thing or two that you might not know.
i read the Blade vs wolverine fight i am not sure what it is you are tryin to insinuate here.

that you didn't read the issue because it invalidates everything you just said.

Stop playing the victim for a change. No one here has a personal vendetta against Blade. All the points brought up apply to every other comic character as well. His vampire heritage is irrelevant. We judge the merits of characters based on what they have done, what feats and accomplishments they have under their belts, and not on arbitrary class qualifiers like Human / Mutant / Vampire / Alien. We don't attribute character's with feats they have never displayed, we don't transfer feats from one character to another because they have similarities, and we don't flat out make things up to pad a character's list of accomplishments.
Blade is "slower and weaker," than peak humans because Batman / Daredevil / Captain America have more impressive feats. It's that simple, there is no hidden agenda, there is no mysterious shadow council on KMC trying to undermine Blade. He is a character with less than 150 appearances, more than half of appearances are of little consequence being either movie tie-ins, Ultimate or pre "Daywalker" era. When all is said and done Blade has around 50 appearances as a Daywalker, and a great deal of those issues don't even fit in with his retcon'd origin anyway. Blade isn't as good as the A list heroes because he isn't as good. No great mystery or conspiracy theory. What did you expect? That someone with 50 appearances would have the feats to contend with Batman? He doesn't, and he doesn't get the benefit of the doubt because he is a scary vampire.
Blade "possess no type of healing ability" because he has never healed on panel. Damage disappearing between issues, is not proof of a healing factor. It is standard practice. It happens all the time. Continuing to fight after getting shot is -again- not proof of a healing factor. Again, it is something that happens all the time. These "feats" are proof of nothing. They are vague and ambiguous and only evidence of a healing factor in the polluted mind of delusional Blade fanboys, who believe there is an internet wide conspiracy in place to cover up Blade's true potential.

Just when Logan went to finish Blade Blade pulled the plug on that sh!t.
Blade was done the moment he was pinned to the ground (hell he was done the moment he took the job), Wolverine had him by the throat, and his claws were poised to attack. Blade pulled off Wolverine's mask and get out his needle, only because Wolverine allowed it to happen, no way around it. If Logan had wanted to kill Blade he could have done it at any time in a fraction of a second. He didn't because - for whatever reason - he decided not to. If he was so inclined he could have broken Blade's neck or stabbed him at any moment. He could have done it the instant he pinned him. He could have done in the while Blade was taking out the needle. He could have done it while Blade was fumbling with his mask. Blade is a live because Wolverine decided not to kill him on a whim (aka a plot device).
