You have made no point. I asked for scans of it being standard equipment - and you have not provided any.
It wasn't used in the War of the Realms - please post scans of him using it IN THE War.
It wasn't used in Race of the Ghost Riders.
Vampire War was it's first appearance, surely you are not counting when it hopped onto him??
War of the Realms:

And here is every appearance of Blade in the War of the Realms book proper:No BT.
Standard outing. Didn't even bring BT along.

Standard equipment does not mean standard use. That is not in the definition.
Standard equipment references what they are likely to have in a standard mission.
Once again in the majority of arcs that Blade has been apart of, he has been depicted with boy-thing. This INCLUDES War of the Realms, as Blade is depicted with boy-thing in Marvel's official collection of War of the Realms: Avengers stories.
In addition, why would the first time he gets said equipment not count as an arc in which he is depicted with said equipment. Your argument is terrible.

Well...never said he did.The gargoyle he caught was halfway up the building. So halve the height of that skyscraper, and that's the speed he was at when he caught it (after being stabbed and kicked out some pretty tough glass).
All without his armour, which was my main point.
Other Comic Book peak humans are capable of the same. Take the Punisher, Daredevil, Nightwing, Conan, Red Sonja and so many others as an example. Batman should not be given special treatment. He isn't a Meta, he's peak human.

Ok, then show Blade taking him on a mission, apart from the 2-3 instances in 2 years.
Because I can show more times he's not on Blade in a mission.

You are moving the goalposts.
Your initial point was that he'd be a smear. I showed this to be wrong.

"2-3" instances you mean "2-3 multiple issue arcs" This is embarrassing. He's brought boy-thing on the majority of his missions since getting him, and when he didn't it's explicitly stated why he left him behind or its because boy-thing was injured in a previous battle. you're flailing here.

I don't need to start anywhere, you've lost the point. In the majority of the story arcs he's been a part of, he's brought boy-thing. in war of the realms, we still see him with boy-thing. you saying "well he didn't have boy-thing at this moment in this storyline", is not a counterpoint when we see him consequently use boy-thing to travel in the same story line.
Standard equipment is the equipment they are often depicted with. In the majority of his arcs, he's had boy-thing with him. That is standard equipment. Moreso than his guns, than his stakes, than his explosives (all of which would be standard equipment because we've seen him use them on occasions without prep).
This is the point, if we've seen a character have a particular item repeatedly, over a period of years, its going to be standard equipment. Your argument is nonsensical and it is not how we evaluate standard equipment for any other character. Because Deadpool doesn't use grenades in every single arc, and in some cases we don't even see them, doesn't mean they aren't standard equipment. We've seen them on him in enough arcs without prep to establish that as standard equipment.
The point is done and you're flailing at this point. It was clear to the other user in here arguing for batman, it was clear to anyone who's read Blade, it was clear to other users who read through and decided to start additional threads after reading the exchange. You tried, good job.
Now that the point is decided, I am happy to engage with anyone else who is actually interested in this debate, as opposed to you who shifts goalposts and reinvents definitions with every post.

"what I'm peddling" what is this? so Batman has never taken off his belt before? throughout the avengers run Blade is regularly shown with boy-thing and they've developed a symbiotic relationship. When boy-thing gets left behind, it's for his own protection at times but he is regularly with Blade on missions..
Your original point. Which was backed up by......a scans that goes against forum rules 😂
Nice one.
