Blade's mother, Tara Brooks, was a prostitute at Madame Vanity's Brothel. When his mother experienced severe labor complications, a doctor was summoned who was in actuality Deacon Frost, a vampire who feasted on her during Blade's birth and killed her. However, this inadvertently passed along certain enzymes in his own blood to the infant. This resulted in Blade's quasi-vampiric abilities, including a greatly prolonged lifespan and the ability to sense supernatural creatures, as well as an immunity to complete vampirism. Brooks' fellow prostitutes drove off Frost before he could kill the infant as well.<br/><br/>Blade grew up living at Madame Vanity's, and at age nine, returning home from school one December, he saw an old man being attacked by three vampires. Blade helped the old man, who used a silver cane to kill the vampires and fight off the attackers. The man was Jamal Afari, a jazz trumpeter and vampire-hunter who then moved into Madame Vanity's and trained the young Blade in both music and combat. Blade was soon able to defeat many of the weak, younger vampires that he and Afari found in abundance.  Blade became an Olympic-level athlete and a formidable hand-to-hand combatant, with an expertise in edged weapons such as knives and daggers.<br/>Strength Level:  10 – 20 (able to left 20 tons under optimal conditions.)<br/><br/>(http://comicattack.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Blade04.jpg)<br/><br/>Powers:<br/>Supernaturally Enhanced Physiology:   Blade is stronger than most vampires. He has superhuman agility and stamina. He can jump from a building to building or jump from a roof top to the ground with little damage or fatigue, unlike vampires who would most likely die or at least be paralyzed from a fall so high. He can also move and run much faster than most vampires.<br/>Superhuman Strength: Blade has the strength of 20 men in top peak physical condition<br/>Superhuman Speed: He can run at speeds of up to approximately 90 miles per hour, and has peaked at 120 mph.<br/><br/>Superhuman Stamina: Blade's body eliminates the excessive build-up of fatigue-producing chemicals in his muscles, granting him superior endurance and lung capacity. He can exert himself at peak capacity for several days without rest and before showing any signs of fatigue.<br/><br/>Superhuman Agility: His agility is 10x greater than that of an Olympic gold medalist. He can coordinate his body with balance, flexibility, and dexterity. He also has the ability to leap 150 yards out in a single bound and 60 ft into the air without a running start.<br/><br/>Superhuman Reflexes: Blade’s reflexes  are excellent. His reaction speed is 40x that of a normal human, which makes it possible for him to anticipate the movements of several attackers at the same time even when dodge fire arms from multiple attackers.<br/>Superhuman Durability: His bones and muscles are denser and harder than normal, because of his supernatural nature he can leap from a building and take off running without any noticeable affects to his muscle and bones.  He can catch and deflect bladed weapons in his bare hands.<br/>Regeneration: Blade's healing speed and efficiency is nearly instantaneous enhanced healing factor which heals at a very amazing rate and that is similar to Wolverine, but unlike Wolverine his vampire anatomy attacks any alien substances (chemicals/viruses) in his body and eliminates any chance of him being rendered helpless or maimed from the inside (any microbe, foreign body and others from his body keeping him healthy and immune to most if not all infections, diseases and disorders).  Since Blade has an amazing healing factor, and the strengths but none of the weakness of a vampire blade may be immortal. Blade also cannot become intoxicated by alcohol, drugs, or impurities in the air, he can become drunk if he drinks from someone that is drunk but it tends to burn off within the hour.<br/><br/>Vampirism Immunity: Blade displayed certain unique abilities as a dhampir due to the vampire enzymes in his body. Blade has shown many times that he is immune (or at least highly resistant) from the bite of a true vampire and he cannot become a vampire by normal means.<br/>Eidetic Memory:  Blade never forgets anything having been exposed to it a couple of times and has perfect recall of physical abilities. This enables him to duplicate physical human abilities.  Blade's reflexes and senses are so refined that he re-acts before his brain can actually analyze a situation. This characteristic is found in humans, but is selectively seen in rigorously trained martial artists (this indicates that Blade has at least 25 to 50 years of martial arts training history.<br/>Vampire Senses: Blade's senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch are at a superhuman level.<br/>Limited Immortality:  Blade still drinks blood just not that often, he can drink from any source, human is the most potent, lover/partner far more.  He just doesn’t have to drink as much.  But it helps him to retain his strength and power.  Lack of blood for more than thirty days decreases his abilities till he falls into a coma, once he is in this state he will require blood to come out of it.  It still doesn’t require much to revive him.<br/><br/>Fearlessness: Blade is a very strong-willed person. He is able to overcome most forms of temptation rarely carnal ones and resist the effects of extreme pain, drugs and toxins to a great extent due to his own blood physiology.  Blade because of his own supernatural heritage is also capable of resisting most, if not all, forms of mind control; only the strongest willed individuals have a chance of enslaving him.<br/><br/>Equipment:<br/><br/>Uniform: Blade normally wears a water and fire retardant costume that is made of kevlar, nomex and light weight titanium. The costume also offers a medium level of resistance to electric shocks and force impacts, and cannot be pierced by normal conventional sharp edged materials like sharp wood, glass, iron, copper and aluminum. The suit also gives some resistance to high temperatures as well.<br/>Weapons: Blade employs a stylized double edge sword as one of his main offense and defense tools.  It is equipped with an acid/silver-etched titanium blade, that has a security feature that will release blades into the wielder's hand after a set time. This is aborted by Blade who know of the system by pushing a hidden switch in the sword's hilt.  He also wields varieties of throwable glaives, different knives, silver stakes, firearms. He also uses specialized weapons, such as throwable injector canisters filled with anticoagulant which is explosively lethal to vampires and extendable injector spikes worn on the back of the hand.<br/><br/>Fighting Skill: Fighting Skill Class 6. Blade has trained to be among the most proficient fighters on the planet his skill is considered to be almost reflexive in the arena of being able to beat many grandmasters including those of metahuman skill.<br/><br/>Limitations:  Blade is not sure of his limitations, he will push the envelope with any if it means another vampire or supernatural enemy dies!  He knows he can die, until then he will continue to fight the good fight.<br/>Unusual Features: None.<br/><br/>Appearance:<br/>Blade will generally wear something akin to body armor, for him he is always on duty.  Even when he doesn’t look like it he is always a walking arsenal.  Hence he will normally be in his trenchcoat but he has been known to sport a three piece suit from time to time.<br/><br/>Personality: Blade is all about getting the job done.  He is very lax on letting people in thinking if someone gets close again, some other monster will get in and take them away.  So he will seem to be cold, calculating, aloof.  But he is full aware of his intimidation factor and his other worldly skills.<br/><br/>History: Blade was born in a whorehouse in the Bourbon Street area of New Orleans, LA in 1929.
