The Origin of Blade
Blade made his debut in the 1970's Marvel series Tomb of Dracula. While Blade's
mother was in labor with him, she was bitten by the vampire Deacon Frost.
Because of this, Blade is a dhampir, one who has both human and vampire blood.
After the death of Blade's mother, he was raised by Jamal Afari, a trumpet
player and vampire hunter. He taught Blade how to live as a musician and how to
hunt vampires until Afari was attacked by Dracula. Seeking revenge against Both
Deacon Frost and Dracula, Blade dedicated his life to hunting and destroying
vampires and other supernatural creatures. Blade often teamed up with other
hunters, and during his search for Deacon Frost, he formed an unlikely
partnership with the vampire Hannibal King to defeat their common enemy.
Frost's attack on Blade's mother left Blade trapped between the human and
vampire world, but his curse was also a gift. Blade discovered that he was
immune to the vampire's bite, an ability that would aid him in his life's work.
Blade is also a skilled martial artist, a quick swordsman and weapon master,
and very street-wise. This deadly combination inspires fear in those that he
hunts, and even in Dracula, the most powerful of all vampires.
