I'm making Blade in this
Blade vs the Shadow Colonel in Avengers#17 was awesome.
Shadow Colonel was a tremendous and powerful challenge to Blade but the story was writen well.And i am intrigued to read more about Blade in the Avengers.
interesting how he compares him to Daredevil
The J-man
Does man-thing have any other powers that Blade could possibly benefit from while carrying "boy-thing"? I'm wondering if Blade will be able to use man-thing's telepathy or fear inducement
Odd question, I know, but does anyone else think Blade might have been partially based on the Peter Cushing Van Helsing? They share a very similar bone structure and jawline.
Perhaps I'm overthinking the whole thing, but he does look kind of like a black version of Cushing.
based on all the interviews from Gene Colan and Marv Wolfman I'd say no. I'd say that was just Colan's style.
We haave two Van Helsing's in the Marvel Universe anyway
The J-man
Blade was inspired by blokes like Richard Roundtree(a.k.a. Shaft) , and Jim Brown from that era than Peter Cushing. As pointed out in the following video about the first BLADE movie.
