To many, the foulest of villains in the Marvel universe are the likes of the Red Skull, Magneto, or Doctor Doom. Even less powerful villains such as Melter, Porcupine, and the Beetle cause untold destruction and heartache to innocent people only looking to live their lives in peace and safety. But there are worse threats to humanity than most will ever know, threats that would make the bravest of men turn pale with fear. Monsters, horrors, and aberrations of the most unnatural order prowl among the darkened places most fear to tread. Chief among these nocturnal beasts are vampires, the bloodsucking monsters of antiquity. Only a select few heroes on Earth are privy to their existence, and fewer still are adequately equipped to combat them. The most powerful of these champions of light is Blade, Marvel’s chief vampire hunter.Blade debuted in 1973’s Tomb of Dracula #10 (by Marv Wolfman and Gene Colan.) As vampires run rampant throughout London late one night, Blade appears and saves a young couple from a terrible fate. As Blade and other vampire hunters pool their efforts, a showdown occurs on a private cruise ship. Dracula, lord of the vampires, reveals himself only to be defeated by a mixture of skill and luck on behalf of the vampire hunters. Dracula vowed vengeance against Blade and promised to defeat him soundly in their next battle. As time has proven, Dracula’s threat was an empty one, as the mysterious vampire hunter has since become the world’s greatest vampire hunter.Raised and trained by the vampire hunter Jamal Afari, Blade quickly became an extremely talented hunter. Afari’s training turned Blade into an Olympic-level athlete and martial artist. Blade became an expert at all manner of bladed weapons, so much so that he took the nickname “Blade”. As Blade matured, he embarked out into the world, joining forces with various vampire hunters. His trail of vampiric eradication took him from Europe to Asia and North America. Over the years, Blade has lost countless friends to the forces of darkness, the bitter sting of death tempering him, fueling his hatred for all vampires. Blade often works alone for fear of losing those close to him, but his legend and prowess have made him a living bogeyman to the vampire race, a fact he enjoys very much.
