Originally posted by StiltmanFTWDid he really though? There's no telling whether he could've parried that next stab or not. All we do know is that Daredevil took Gorgon out with a single kick before he could even try to kill Danny.....
Still, Tomi did have Danny dead to rights...
Pretty much any other version of Gorgon would beat Blade into the ground, but this version is a poor imitation of Logan on one of his worse days.
He just needed to let go of Danny's arm (he was holding it), that minimal effort alone would cause Danny to lose a limb... we don't know what DW's glove claws were made out of, but we do know Skaar's hide in that arc was still written as nigh-invulnerable (Barney's arrows didn't do shit, Ai Apaec hurt his damn hand and so on), yet Gorgon cut him up just fine.
"New Dark Avengers" idea was a travesty, no clue why Bendis did that. Especially so soon after his well-reviewed Dark Avengers run.
As for bad KOs, Blade - amped Blade - did get one-panel'd by Cap, I remind you 😛

That's true. He was "saving himself" for Logan 😛
And he took some damage before that, if memory serves.
Spider-Man's kick (f*ck you, Daredevil) and some arrows to the ribs. Barton's brother needs to practice his accuracy more.

A good clawing might not kill him these days, though. He did walk off a broken back.
Just as Gorgon had showings like getting blown up and stabbed to shit... and he still fought back, owned Elektra and incapacitated Wolverine.
Unless you want to focus on his showings as DW only, discounting past feats.
