When Blade does something that would require strength (bending elevators doors) it's most likely because he has vampiric strength. When he outpaces bullets it's cause he has vampiric speed. He's show that he has no reflection and he healed from gun shot wounds. When various writers and handbooks have stated him to have these abilities, one can be damn sure that he does possess them. In addition, he is a Dhampir on the genetic level as Deacon Frost's viral infection mixed with his blood at birth which is what makes Dhampirs.
Besic abilities... At differing levels... Some abilities are not shared AT ALL.... You can transfer their feats onto Blade.. It's that simple.
Doesn't matter how much you think want to believe otherwise. We dictate what characters can do based on their feats.. WHAT THEY HAVE DONE, period.
He's never healed on panel from Gunshot wounds. STOP THE PROPAGANDA.
I don't care what you want to classify him as. He's technically speaking, not a dhampir. That's all there is to it.
