Captain America vs Blade

That stance at least makes sense, unlike relentless1 who thinks that Blade having Cap level strength feats means that he's stronger.

Honestly, I thought Cap was outmatched in strength at first too. I keep forgetting the crazy shit he's done.

Blade also has damage soak to the point that Cap's hits shouldn't do nearly enough damage to take him down. Not after the beatings he received at the hands of Nomak and Drake and kept going.

Honestly, this is a pretty damn good fight based on their feats. These two have very similar skill sets. I'd probably give Blade a slight skill advantage over Cap, who has better consistent strength feats. I'd need to reexamine their durability, speed, agility, etc.

Let's see after Avengers 2

There are some rumored feats for cap that would make this a stomp.

I'm wondering why Silent even thought Blade's powers may have been affected by the virus and taken away... when he was shown fighting his most powerful foe to date and holding his own.

You're aware that the virus wasn't released until the end of the fight when Blade stabbed him with the arrow, right? Your comment makes it seem like you've never seen the movie.

The whole thing about Blade being a Daywalker is that he has all of the vampires strengths, and none of their weaknesses save his bloodthirst. So anything that effects full vampires, doesn't do the same to him. Sunlight, Silver, his serum(which kills vampires even as powerful as La Magra Frost), and that virus at the end.

IIRC, they stated earlier in the movie that they were unsure what effect the virus would have on him, that was why I was wondering if the movie showed him retaining all his vampire advantages after the virus as I didn't remember if the movie touched on it.

I've already said that the question was just for my curiosity and had nothing to do with the fight.

Seems like their strength is pretty on par. I'd lean toward Blade due to skill and speed

Maybe it's because I haven't seen the Blade movies in some time, but I actually give Cap the edge in skill while I give Blade the advantage in speed.

Or rather, Blade looked like he had the better martial arts training but Cap looked like he was fully utilizing his strength advantage during his fight scenes thus making him look a better fighter. But that's just me.

Good fight, Cap has some good feats and he was badass in Cap 2 and all but Blades gonna kill Cap. And honestly, I don't see this fight lasting longer than a minute at most. Due to the fact that they are so fast, strong and efficient with their attacks, by efficient I mean kill shots and due to Blades use of actual offensive weapons, higher versatility and more brutal nature ( cap ain't no pansy either) his will come first.

I do see Cap catching Blade with the edge of that shield and it's gonna be straight game over. He will be stunned enough that Cap will get that kill shot in, and I don't see him hesitating to take it.

Blade 6/10.

His serum doesn't kill vamps. The doctor created something from his serum that exploded them.

Cap also mostly fought non super powered opponents. Pretty much every opponent for Blade was a vampire, and by default, they had enhanced strength/speed and whatnot. Him making them look like feebs is better than Cap making humans look like feebs imo

Cap made the NotSkrulls look like feebs and they would have crushed the vampires.

Fair enough.

Unlikely. Black Widow was able to take them in h2h with no trouble at all iirc. Again the vampires only looked like trash because Blade is so far above them. They were still very super human in their own right

So were the Chitauri. BW being able to fight them was more to show how good she was, rather than how weak they were. They were still doing things jumping off high-flying ships, crushing cars when they land and digging their hands into the sides of buildings.

Don't get me wrong, I know she's good. But I just didn't get the impression the Chitauri were all that great.

Based on movie feats they are way above normal human.

Widow being able to beat them in h2h easily, them being killed by regular arrows, one being killed by Widow stabbing it, one being killed by Hawkeye stabbing it, and them dying from bullets show they are not "way" above normal human.

Plus BW has never shown any super human traits before or after. She's good but she should be able to job them out if they are so far above human when she is not
