Blade has always been on the side of heroes, but since the beginning of the Blood Hunt saga he has helped super vampires spread terror on Earth.
This Blade has been weird lately, huh? The vampire hunter has always been with the heroes of wonder Comics, but since last year, after spending time with Dracula learning new powers, he started to have a more mysterious and aggressive behavior. And, at the beginning of the saga Blood Huntthe guy simply stabbed the Avengers in the back and helped the super vampires defeat the team during the invasion of Earth. And, well, now we know why.

And everyone was wondering, “The Blade movie is already slow in development, and now Marvel Comics themselves is turning him into a villain, just when the project seems to be slowing down?” To give you an idea, Mahershala is also threatening to abandon the movie, which is even being considered as a series.
Here, in the new chapter of the Marvel super vampire saga, Blood Hunt #4recently released, we finally have some answers and a more exciting horizon. In fact, the twist presented by the story could also be good for the MCU – and, suddenly, the delays in the adaptation could also have to do with choosing the right time to start recording, as the editing brings a perfect villain to the film. .
Blade was possessed by an ancient vampire
Blood Hunt #4 reveals that Blade was possessed by Varnae, Earth’s first vampire. The ancient leech had attempted to condition the hero to become a host years earlier, but was unsuccessful at the time. It is still unknown how the villain regained control over Eric Brooks, but it has long been known that his goal is to become the ultimate vampire, capable of destroying planets.
Just to remind you a bit, vampires have joined the Marvel Universe Dracula’s Tomb #1published in 1972, with Blade appearing briefly to hunt them down. The hero’s mother was bitten by a leech while pregnant with him. As a result, Eric became known as a “daywalker”, because, although he has powers similar to those of his enemies, he can walk during the day in the sunlight.
It is worth noting that Blade can be considered the “proto-Marvel universe on the big screen”, since its series of films on Fox managed to keep the Casa das Ideias brand on the market at a time when Marvel Comics even opened the process of bankruptcy.
Well, getting back to the plot, with the arrival of Varnae, we now have a more powerful and complex villain, who could be a much more dangerous opponent than Dracula or Deacon Frost, who haunted Wesley Snipes’ Blade in the Vampire Hunters trilogy.
The solution is to wait a little longer and see how the Blood Hunt saga influences Marvel’s future in comics and cinema.
