365 Marvel Comics Paper Cut-Out SuperHeroes - One Hero, Every Day, All Year…
October 25th - Blade the Vampire Hunter
Eric Brooks was born in London in the late 1920’s. His father, Lucas Cross, was a member of a secret mystical society known as the Order of Tyrana. Sought out by the Latvian authorities, Cross sent his pregnant wife Tara to England. There she took the name ‘Vanessa Brooks’ and found shelter with another member of the Order of Tyrana.
Tara experienced labor complications and sought out a doctor’s aide. Unfortunately, this doctor was actually the vampire known as Deacon Frost. Frost feed on Tara as she gave birth to her son. The process caused the newborn to become a human/vampire hybrid, also known as a ‘Dhampir.’ Frost was driven away before he could slay the child, but Tara perished, leaving the orphaned Eric Brooks to be raised by members of the Order of Tyrana who kept him safe in a Soho brothel.
In his youth, Eric encountered the American vampire hunter, Jamal Afari, who saved him from a vampire attack. Atari would go on to become a mentor and father figure to Eric, training him in the ways of hunting vampires. As a Dhampir, Eric possessed many of the strengths and abilities of a vampire without their weaknesses nor need to feed on human blood. Along with a greatly elongated lifespan, Eric possesses enhanced physical attributes, speed, strength and durability, as well as any ability to heal rapidly from injury or sickness. These powers made Eric a truly formidable vampire hunter. He took on the name ‘Blade’ and quickly became a renowned and feared hunter of the undead.
Blade fought alongside the Allied Forces covert team, The Secret Invaders, during the Second World War. Thereafter he relocated to the United States and joined up with a team of fellow hunters tracking Count Dracula. In the 1970’s, Blade traveled to New York and became a member of a team of heroes retroactively known as the Mighty Avengers. The team disbanded after they succeeded in bringing down the evil cabal called The Deathwalkers.
Blade continued his pursuit of Dracula, spending the next few decades chasing the vampire lord whilst also taking down numerous vampire threats all over the world. This included numerous battles with the proto-vampire, Morbius. Blade later teamed up with Hannibal King, a vampire who refused to feed on humans. Blade and King joined forces to hunt down Deacon Frost, the vampire who killed Blade’s mother.
After finally killing Frost, Blade and King sought out the Darkhold, a magical tome that contained an incantation that could destroy all vampires. They succeeded in their mission and Dr. Strange cast a spell that seemingly killed Dracula and all over vampires on earth. Blade would go on to act as a member of the Midnight Sons, seeking out new mystical menaces threatening mankind.
The ‘Montesi Formula,’ the conjuration that had destroyed all vampires, weakened and ultimately dissipated completely, leading to the return of vampires and Count Dracula. As such, Blade resumed his vampire hunting and ended up having to face his father, Lucas Cross, who had himself been transformed into a vampire.
Blade would go on to serve in the British governmental superhero team, MI-13 and later aided the X-Men in their battle against the forces of Dracula. Blade has additionally served as a member of both the newer iteration of The Mighty Avengers as well as the main Avengers squad.
Actor Wesley Snipes portrayed Blade in three films from New Line Cinema and actor Sticky Fingaz portrayed the hero in the Blade television series; whereas actor Mahershala Ali is set to play the role of Blade in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The hero first appeared in the pages of Tomb of Dracula #10 (1973).
