History

Eric Brooks was born a "Daywalker", a half-vampire, after his mother was bitten by a vampire before giving birth. Gifted with supernatural abilities from his cursed bloodline and trained to perfection in combat, he became the ultimate vampire hunter: Blade.

When Dracula seized New York, Blade was the first hero to challenge him. But armed with the Chronovium gifted by Doctor Doom, Dracula easily defeated Blade and imprisoned him beneath his castle. After the curse of eternal night was lifted and Eric was rescued, he was sent to Wakanda for a long recovery... until Shuri awakened him, recruiting him as the sharpest edge in the fight against the All-Black!
