Blade
http://www.marvel.com/universe3zx/images/9/94/Blade.jpg

Abilities
The enzymes in Blade's blood made him immune to normal vampire bites, uniquely attuned to sensing the supernatural and resistant to aging. Since being bitten by Morbius, Blade has gained many of the traditional powers of the vampire without developing their weaknesses. He has superhuman strength, senses and stamina, plus an accelerated healing factor.

Weapons
Blade uses a vast array of weaponry specifically designed to eliminate vampires. It's often hard to keep track of it all. Blade boasted a silver longsword (later seen in the movies) and dual, self-forged katanas as his primary weapons of choice. Blade's katanas, which he still employs, are titanium, acid-etched, and silver plated. He also used a garlic-covered, silver glave, or booomerang-like weapon, a dagger that could expand into a garret wire, and silver stakes as his close-range weapons. For long-range, Blade originally used a Walther P99 pistol modified for automatic fire and a larger clip and Pistols.

Crossbones
http://www.marvel.com/universe3zx/images/e/e6/Crossbones_Head.jpg

Abilities
Crossbones is a world-class hand-to-hand fighter with etensive experience in street-fighting and various martial arts and military combat techniques. He is an expert pilot and a marksman with crossbows, guns and throwing knives. Note: He is also an instructor at Taskmaster's school for criminals

Weapons
His weaponry includes various firearms, a collapsible crossbow, a wrist spike, spring-loaded stiletto blades in his gauntlets, various explosives and poisoned knives.

I'd go with Blade. Healing factor helps alot.

Space M ummy
Blade, and quite easily.

Blade can see in the dark, is a great deal stronger than a normal human being, has faster reflexes, a regenerative healing factor, he can "smell" supernatural creatures of all kinds, and he is immune to being turned into a full vampire via a vampire's bite.

Beyond his obvious vampiric abilities, Blade also seems to be something of a savant in the field of weaponry. Blade has mastered the use of every single type of weapon known to man, and can adapt new weaponry to his growing repetoire in mere minutes. It is unknown if this is because he is more than human, or if he would have possessed this ability regardless. Blade is also an expert of several martial arts styles.

Blade also possesses the skills of a professional jazz trumpeter.

That last part is the dealbreaker. Crossbones has no way to handle blade's superstrength, superspeed, mastery of all conventional weapons or his smooth jazz skills.

Anyone else?

Blade , vampires are just a half notch above peak-human .

Milkie
Damn... Should I have done Deadpool?

Crossbones.

leonidas
straight up, blade. with prep and his weapons bones could take him methinks.

Afterimage
Blade should gain the victory here.

The only excuse for thinking Blade wins, is that your only experiences with either characters comes from reading a bio somewhere in the gutters of the internet, and you've never read a comic in your entire life.

At his best Crossbones is a threat to Cap, at his worst at least he is still a work out. Either of those options means he is too much for Blade to handle.

lol

or you've read all or most of bones' appearances and know cap beat him even when he was weak and the serum was purged from his system....

bones is sweet. my fave cap villain. he takes it with some prep. straight up in a ring-style forum match blade is too much, imo. but you're right--it wouldn't be easy regardless.

Whilst Crossbones is really cool, he'd get battered by Blade.

i dont think we should apply modern upgrades to old threads with prior character abilities..

this comes down to a shoot out..

jinzin
Oh I didn't see the thread start date........




Okay then....



























FACE BEAM! mad

juggernaut74
Who would have the physical edge and damage soak edge?

jinzin
Crossbones has held Cap to a near stalemate in physical matchups, I think that's part of what Srank was getting at. Crossbones looks like a much more physically threatening opponent based on his fights but y'know... "Blade's a vampire".

Trackz
what has crossbones done other than lose to Cap? In terms of strength, speed, etc.

When?

If you mean T-Bolts #150, then I'm pretty sure it was a three-shot wink

Mindset
He was strong and fast enough to beat Cap in 2 hits.

Anyway in the fight in Thuderbolts didn't he have his face blasting ability, or was this another fight.

Even if that did happen its clearly a one-off or PIS. Cap has also beaten Crossbones and Red Skull at the same time. Bucky also owned Crossbones and Sin, so maybe when he got owned by Bucky it wasn't a fluke.

That one showing doesn't put him above Blade.

Oh yeah, Bones got cheapshotted on the beginning. Thanks for reminding me smile

Seriously though... Steve did not get hit by the face beam, just had his face a little bruised and cut by all these rocks flying around. And I doubt he got tired with that Super Soldier Serum in his veins.

You can see that eventhough the beam didn't hit him when it came into close combat it was taking some fight out of him.

SamZED
Going with Blade. Didnt Crossbones lose the facebeam in the last issue anyway?

Anyways those people would murder Crossbones but I still lean towards him in this battle.

YFZ 350
Blade would murder Bones.

juggernaut74
Na, Blade don't kill non-vamp folk that I'm aware of.

YFZ 350
Not usually but he has.
