He himself is half vampire and half human. In essence he has all of the strengths of vampires and none of their weaknesses. Sunlight does not affect him and yet he still has superhuman strength. The movie begins with a dance club party scene. Everyone appears to be having great fun.
Sprinklers spew a red mist onto the dancers.
This misty material would be blood as everyone at the dance club is a vampire. Wesley Snipes steps into the scene as Blade and kicks, and cuts his way through everyone at the club. When Blade is done nothing but death and gore lines the floor. Blade works with a partner in his fight against the creatures of the night. Together they have developed garlic laced bullets and darts, as well as other exotic contraptions to aid them.
