Blade

Blade (real name Eric Brooks) is a character from Marvel Comics. He first appeared in the animated series Ultimate Spider-Man episode "Blade and the Howling Commandos". He made his debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe during the post-credits scene of Eternals, in which he appeared during a voice-over, and will return as the eponymous protagonist of Blade.
Blade was created by Marv Wolfman and Gene Colan.
==Background==
===Physical appearance===
Blade is a strong and tall man dressed in black clothing. Due to being a dhampir, half-human and half-vampire, he possesses fangs that are often concealed.
Due to Blade's nature as a dhampir, his eyes are hurt by sunlight, which is why he always wears sunglasses.
===Powers/skills===
Blade has all of vampiric powers and none of the weakness (beyond his eyes being hurt by sunlight, and a thirst for blood). He has superhuman strength, speed, stamina, senses, rapid regeneration, nigh-immortality immunity to sunlight, wooden stakes, silver, garlic, and holy water. He counters his thirst for blood by consuming animal blood, blood from blood banks, and a serum that is similar enough to blood for him to consume.
