Before the world of sci-fi blockbuster filmmaking was dominated by franchises like the Marvel Cinematic Universe, lesser-known comic book adaptations found ways to enthrall their audiences with legendary takes on underrated characters. These films took risks, pushed the boundaries of what was done in the source material, and took their heroes to new heights, and no film did it better than 1998’s Blade.The Wesley Snipes-led sci-fi vampire action flick became an instant phenomenon, and while it has since been overshadowed by other Marvel Comics adaptations in the years since its release, Blade still has one of the single greatest character introductions in sci-fi action history.While in the middle of the dance floor, a single drop of blood drips onto his hand.
