The character Blade was created in 1973 for Marvel Comics by writer Marv Wolfman and artist Gene Colan and was a supporting character in the 1970s comic Tomb of Dracula. The 1998 movie Blade featured some of the characters of the comic book and starred Wesley Snipes; two sequels have followed so far. A Blade television series is currently in production and set to air on Spike TV.
The man called Blade was born into the darker side of reality in a whorehouse, likely somewhere in Great Britain.
Blade's mother, a prostitute at Madame Vanity’s brothel, experienced severe labor complications, and a doctor was summoned. The name of the "doctor" was Deacon Frost, in reality a bloodthirsty vampire. Frost feasted on Blade's mother during his birth, killing her, and accidentally passed along certain enzymes in his own blood to the infant, which later resulted in Blade's immunity to being turned; his ability to "smell" supernatural creatures; a greatly prolonged lifespan; and sensitivity to bright light. This would also later result (after being bit on the arm by Morbius) in Blade becoming of a half-vampire giving him all of their strengths, but none of their weaknesses. He had super strength, great agility, and immunity to sunlight.
Frost was driven off by Blade's mother’s coworkers before he could kill the infant as well. They raised him until he was nine years old.
In 1998, the movie Blade starred Wesley Snipes in the title role, Kris Kristofferson as Abraham Whistler, Blade's mentor, and Stephen Dorff as Deacon Frost. The film was written by David Goyer and directed by Stephen Norrington. While not an exact adaptation of the comics, the film was faithful to the spirit of the character as created by Wolfman and Colan. Unlike in the comics, Blade's half-vampire nature was very much apparent from the beginning, and he was constantly at odds with it. Deacon Frost was depicted as a much younger, stylish, more rebellious character than his printed counterpart.
Blade II (written by Goyer and directed by Guillermo del Toro) followed in 2002 and saw the Daywalker joining forces with his enemies to defeat a powerful new breed of vampire called Reapers.
The 'trilogy' concluded in 2004 with Blade: Trinity (written and directed by Goyer), which introduced very modified versions of Hannibal King (played here by Ryan Reynolds) and the Nightstalkers. Blade reluctantly joins forces with the group of vampire hunters (led by Abigail Whistler, the estranged daughter of his old mentor) to prevent the original vampire Drake from creating a race of super-vampires.
