Even in the movies he didn't have all their strengths he aged like normal a human did.
Is Jubilee still a vampire? I don't read X-men and to be honest I often consider those books a separate universe and continuity. I'd rather just ignore Jubilee than have it impact Blade.
I don't think all vampires should be the same either. Different sects, species some with different traits.
Blade right now has a pretty perfect paradigm. Subtle hypnosis and a sixth sense is as far as I'm willing to go. If you want to give him a magic sword or weapon for a story arch to defeat some big bad fine. No shapeshifting that opens a can of worms that other writers will mess up.
Outside of the bat transformation I'd say Blade has been pretty consistent over the last 13 years. Heck you could even question if that was really Blade & Doctor Strange etc. the way Mojo works. Did Bendis write that comic? I thought that was the Hickman Uncanny Avengers book.
I think Blade is in a good place right now, my only gripe is some writers don't portray him as superhuman (for example that crappy Falcon #7). And I wouldn't mind if he instilled a little more fear in the vampire community. He's killed thousands of vampires at this point including Dracula
