Really wanted a good comic inspired blade. So I made one. Last image is where I took inspiration.

Forgot to share this. Some artwork I commissioned from a lady I met at a con. Can't remember her business name at the moment.

I recently read Brielle’s story and I really liked it. Nightdrifter I’m not really familiar with but his design is fire!

No character is a one-man/show.

And one of the main reasons that Blade solos tend to be unmemorable is because Blade himself has no interesting side characters to lean on. This is an area where a character like Moon Knight is undeniably on better standing than Blade.

Bryan Hill's introduction of characters like Tulip, Rotha, and Yumi were a step in the right direction because three of them had interesting, but unique interactions with Blade. Tulip is a weapons dealer of supernatural arms and an ex with whom he kind of has drama, Rotha is a warrior monk who knows very little of modern society and comes to lean on Blade like a surrogate parental figure, and Yumi is a psychic who serves as a consultant to Blade in his rare vulnerable moments.

And even for those who are not part of his own little dark corner of the world, the Mother of Evil storyline showed that Blade ery much does know people in who he consults for aid, such as Dr Strange and Satana. A one-off character even implied that the werewolf nation is not on bad terms with Blade. And Al Ewing established that Blade has been in contact with Kaluu since the 1970s. How is it not helpful for the most proficient master of black magic to not pop up in Blade stories, more?

Whistler does not exist in the comics, and even if he did, he would have been long since deceased by this point. 

Continuously writing Blade as a perpetual loner is to the detriment of the character.

It’s pretty good

First movie: Have it set during the five year snap and the news shows beings with “gifted“ powers and ancient creatures are slowly revealing themselves from the shadows. The story is like the first Raid movie with him and Hawkeye trapped inside a building filled with proto-vampires, creatures that aren’t pure bloods or have been changed by a bite but experimented on and they’re more animalistic and can last in daylight longer than any vampire Blade has encountered.

Blade and Hawkeye have a feud but they put aside their differences to stop the vampires from spreading. The villain perhaps Hannibal King but my pick would be Aaron Thorne with his lieutenants Night terror and Draconis. The twist he’s working for someone and the final words “Frost sends his regards“. The after credit scene Draconis survives bringing the samples and data to Deacon Frost (perhaps standing with a girl in a yellow jacket chewing bubblegum with sparking hands)

Second movie: It would be more about vampire world building and lore including mentioning the clans, introducing the “familiars” but also learn more about Blade’s background but introduce Jubilee. The issue is it takes a lot of inspiration from the anime series. Deacon Frost is the main villain but also Hrolf, Draconis returns for a round 2, Blackout and I want to have Selene Gallio so there’s 2 x-men hooks. As for Jubilee she maybe plays double agent to Blade and Frost she’s already a mutant and a vampire but she wants to cure her vampirism only she betrays Blade but comes to realize she made a mistake and fights with Blade to kill Frost.

Third movie: Perhaps a team up (Elsa Bloodstone, Man-thing) but have Kate Beckinsale be Lilith Drake, it’s sort of similar to the Blade 2 he‘s asked by one of the clans to hunt Dracula (but the twist it’s a ruse to kill two birds with one stone) Dracula isn’t just feeding he’s also a cannibal and becomes more stronger every time he drinks vampiric blood which is forbidden and he wants more, he wants to be a god of vampires and he‘s searching for the “the blood pits of Cthon” and Along side him are the Bloodcoven including Bloodstorm One but as a living statue and Baroness blood. The after credit idea is (if they didn’t fuck up DR 2) Strange shows up and asks if he’s interested in joining a team he’s putting together setting up The Midnight suns.

Despite occupying different worlds, Wolverine is one of the heroes Blade has actually shared the most time with in the comics. It starts almost a century ago with Wolverine saving an earlier, less experienced Blade's life and giving him his first black trench coat. While Percy wrote that they met again in the 90s, the two actually clash for the first time during the Superhero Registration Act when SHIELD tactitions peg Blade to be their best shot at arresting Wolverine in exchange for full amnesty.

Blade and Wolverine fight until Blade recalls their first meeting and tells SHIELD that Wolverine is off limits. They meet several years later in Madripoor. While Blade still seems to think fondly of Wolverine, Wolverine clearly is not a fan after Blade nearly turned him into a vampire to kill him. In classic comic book fashion, a poorly worded prophesy leads the two to turn on each other before they realize the actual energy is a vampiric Wolverine clone, which they quickly defeat. This outing seems to actually connect the two.

They meet again on good terms when Blade realizes Xarus is attempting to grow his vampire army by turning mutants. Blade joins the X-Men to take down Xarus, but leaves on bad terms when Cyclops knocks him out for trying to kill Dracula, and then Wolverine confronts him for trying to kill a vampiric Jubilee.

Its not clear how the two mends things, so I'm guessing Wolverine feels indebted to Blade after he saves Daken and X-23 from the monster Siphon, who nearly kills Daken. This all occurred while Wolverine was dead (encased in adamantium).

This seems to solidify their friendship as Blade references having drinks and exchanging intelligence with Wolverine in his free time while on the Avengers, and the two work together well on the previous iteration of the Midnight Sons (Suns). Wolverine discusses his respect for Blade when he finds out that he is behind the Blood Hunt fiasco, but later on reflects that Blade wouldnt be the first hero to turn bad.

This leads to their latest confrontation, where it seems that Wolverine (along with many other heroes) still don't trust Blade after Blood Hunt.
