Blade vs. Bane

Considering your comic book knowledge is rusty, that's hardly a ringing endorsement. I mean, it's probably true, but still..

But to reuse Trackz's excellent analogy, if I am at 100%, then midway through sports I'm down to 50%...having a nice little drink, and rest, and foot wouldn't make me superhuman (I.e. 150%), but just brings me back to 100%....

I consider that an amp. That's why in sports matches you have equal rest and water breaks for both teams, lol.

Bane is probably stronger. He was toying around with Hourman.

So in this thread, would he have access to blood?

If he didn't have that blood rain, would he have performed as well as he did against Mjolnir?

Edit: but good analogy. If Cap was hungry, and he was fed, yeah, he would be amped.

If Superman - who feeds on sunlight - is given sunlight, he'd be amped.
Ultraman - Kryptonite

He doesn't require access to blood.

And no, again. Amped is short for amplified. Someone being well-fed is considered their norm.

Re: Blade, again Blade has literally never on panel been shown to receive a boost due to blood, that has actually never been referenced with any marvel vampire honestly, other than a few instances when they drank blood from a deity.

Blade didn't reference the blood rain and the drink until after he performed said feat either way.

That is not what the word amplified means. You can think of things however you want, but the words have actual meanings and said meanings are laid out in the forum rules as well.

even your analogy doesn't make sense because performing at your optimum ability is why rest is allowed, not because it allows people to perform better.

That's why steroids are banned and rest and hydration aren't. One amplifies your abilities, the other doesn't.

It is also assumed that the characters fight at their optimum levels of ability - not explicitly weakened or unusually powered up for those who have variable power levels.

fighting at optimum level is not an amp.

Getting cancelled is what Blade is best at.

Was Blade the first ever superhero trilogy with the same actor as the main character? Also this is a good debate. I think I’m tending to agree more with Trackz in general, re: blood is sustenance vs “amp” front, although in the scan I posted, he referenced it for a reason.... does placebo effect count as an “amp?”

most likely he was just talking shit, like you made it rain blood to intimidate us? I drink that. if you read the full comment, he was talking trash the entire time.

Blade's better off being in Team books rather then having his own solo book.

Quit living in the past man, Bane is the future.

Also what kind of name is Blade? Super edgelord much? Bet Blade shops at Hot Topic too.

He has way more going for him than you give him credit for. Blade even has more powers than he’s willing to show. He can, and has turned into a bat on panel. He can sense at least two different sources of magic. And he teaches other vamps how to use their power.

Which has nothing to do with what i just said

So why can't his Solo books last long.

Your opinion led me to believe that you think the character has no depth. So I thought I’d teach you some things about him. If writers explored more of his unique abilities than the generic things everyone knows about vampires. His book would last. And I do find him interesting.

Bane rips blade apart. Blade is no hourman.

no shot really. without venom, blade is faster, stronger, more durable, and the better fighter.

Stop assuming things...
