 Blade (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Blade's blood enzymes reacted unexpectedly with Morbius's unique form of vampirism to produce an almost perfected form of the virus, granting Blade many vampire strengths while eliminating weaknesses inherent to a vampire (it was at this time that Blade assumed the unofficial title of "Daywalker" among his prey).
Blade was devastated when he appeared to be the only one of the trio to survive the final battle with Varnae, which culminated in the death of Blade's old friend and the only one of the Drac Pack he was ever able to connect with: Taj Nital, now a vampire serving Varnae.
Blade was then forced to combat a hostile takeover of the vampire world by a breed of vampire called the Tryks while simultaneously repelling the advances of their queen.

Vampires were totally eliminated from the Marvel Universe in a 1980s Doctor Strange storyline, after which Blade continued to appear occasionally as a private detective.
It seems Blade's mother (whose name was never mentioned, nor was any name other than "Blade" given for the Vampire Hunter himself) was bitten by a vampire just as she gave birth to him.

 Movie Database - [TV Guide Online]
Blade's human mother was bitten by a vampire shortly before giving birth, thus empowering her son with all the vampire strengths and none of their weaknesses, except for one: Blade, too, craves human blood, and will feed unless dosed with a special serum.
Hailed as one of the first African-American comic-book superheroes, Blade first appeared as a Marvel Comics character in 1973, so there should be plenty of material for the filmmakers to drawn on.
But all that's about to change: Deacon Frost (Stephen Dorff) -- a young "impure" vampire (born human, but "turned" as a child) -- is determined to destroy the old vampire society and, by awakening an all-powerful blood god, turn Earth into the planet of the vampires.

Until 1998, that is, and the release of the movie "Blade." That film re-imagined the Vampire Slayer as a quasi-vampire himself, a "Daywalker" with the powers of the undead but none of the weaknesses.
Marvel Comics released a flood of "Blade" comics after 1998 that- surprise, surprise - presented Blade as a "Daywalker." Gone was the Roundtree lookalike, as if he'd never been.

 "Blade" Creator Says Marvel Cut Him Out - Aug 21, 1998 - E! Online News
In what could be a precedent-setting suit, Wolfman alleges that he was just a freelancer when he created the half-human, half-vampire Blade, played by Snipes in the film, and his nemesis, the evil bloodsucker Deacon Frost (Stephen Dorff), and he should retain the rights.
In this case it's Marv Wolfman (yes, that's his name), who created Blade, the original vampire slayer (apologies to Buffy), back in 1972 for an issue of Marvel Comics' Tomb of Dracula.
Marvel argues that such superheroes were the results of "work for hire." But because he was not a full-time employee, and because he never gave up his ownership of Blade to Marvel, Wolfman claims that he deserves a cut from the film.

 Radio Free Movie Review: Blade (1998)
A half-human, half-vampire hybrid, Blade (Snipes) is on a mission to destroy an underground civilization of bloodsuckers.
Blade's loneliness and isolation (being neither fully vampire nor fully human) is touched upon, but never really felt.
Sure, the movie wanted a young punk vampire to head up the bad guys, but his presence doesn't even come close to the menacing fiend Kiefer Sutherland portrayed in his comparable role in The Lost Boys.

I hate Vampire's there hideous and desgusting, though I have to admit Blade and Blade II were awsome movies.
I kinda correct myself though, I very much dislike Vampire's, because Blade simblelizes what a cool Vampire is, a great action hero and set stage again for vampires in future action movies, anyone see The Most extrodinary Men, I think that's what it is called.
Queen of the Damned was horrible and the vampires were corny as hell in that movie, Aaliyah died before they could finish the movie so it was all messed up.

Blade is also a half-breed, created when his pregnant mother was bitten by a vampire.
In the world of "Blade", vampires are a secret society that moves among humans, having infiltrated our society to its highest levels.

 Vampaia hantâ D (2000)
In this animated horror / adventure the Vampire Hunter (as Blade) is half human and half vampire, but that's about where the similarities end, for the film plays in the distant future and D is a hunter that prefers a good old fashioned sword to battle the evil of his time.
Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust may be called an animated version of Blade by some, but it is so much more.
Some things had just been given a bit of a work-over while other things were completely new to me. In all that one can see a lot of care was invested in the making of Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust and I for one thought that the result was as good as the effort.

 slant // magazine.com: Film Review - Blade: Trinity
Blade: Trinity saddles the heroic daywalker with two vampire-hunting cubs (Reynolds's Hannibal and Jessica Biel's Abigail, the daughter of Kris Kristofferson's gearhead Whistler) and their presence regularly pushes Blade to the story's periphery.
Midway through the film, hunky former vampire Hannibal King (Ryan Reynolds) is seen watching the cult classic Incubus on TV, and it's an unintentionally apt reference considering that Goyer's grasp of directorial fundamentals (such as when to tilt the camera and when to shoot in close-up) is about as strong as Shatner's fluency in Esperanto.
Blade: Trinity, however, is proof positive that writing a successful action film and directing one are two entirely different beasts.

 Humor thicker than blood in lively third 'Blade'
"Blade: Trinity" languishes until Reynolds appears onscreen, and then he acts like a defibrillator, energizing the movie with a combination of action film moves and a Chandler-Bing-as-vampire-hunter stream of wisecracks.
While "Blade" was heavy on blue-hued techno-rave imagery and "Blade II" was a horror film that seemed to take place mostly in sewers, "Blade: Trinity" features more daylight than both films combined and is refreshingly free of love interests for its main characters.
Under the direction of "Blade" and "Blade II" scribe David S. Goyer, "Blade: Trinity" vows to give the audience a double bill's worth of movie in less than two hours, and gets a little messy in the process.

Blade: Trinity offers a lean mean action movie filled with all the humor and horror of the previous two but also serves up a notice- Blade is never gonna get that post apocalyptic vampire billion dollar budget greenlight.
