[edit] Cleanup

This article's images were apparently subject to deletion/removal and as such this is at a disadvantage. There are also some inconsistencies with the way things are structured overall.

I would say that this article is below standard and needs a clean-up tag. -Rednaxela 18:30, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Could you be more specific about what needs to be cleaned up? Rabidwolfe 02:38, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Yep, it doesn't read terribly well and is repetitive. There is also a lack of information on the main contributors or evolution of the comic book. I've already corrected some spelling and grammatical points. -Rednaxela 03:33, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

I performed a basic cleanup, but it still needs a lot of work and maintenance. --Basique 22:41, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Birth of Blade in Comic

According to official Marvel sources, the comic book Blade's place of birth is "unrevealed." From early appearances in Tomb of Dracula and Vampire Tales, it seems clear Blade played trumpet in Jazz clubs in England while a youth. Because of this, until someone shows a canonical source (not all Blade comics are canonical), I've removed the references to Blade's birth and youth in Brooklyn, since as far as I can determine, there is no proof of this in the comics (and I have nearly all of them).

The man called Blade was born in a Soho whorehouse, in Great Britain Um how is it possible to be born in London and NYC?

With lazy writers who don't research, anything is possible! -- Noclevername 01:36, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Confirmed in the most recent issue (Issue 6, dated April 2007 on the letters page) he was concieved in Latveria and his mother was then sent to SoHo while pregnant. She went to Madame Vanity's Brothel. 72.166.206.88 20:41, 21 February 2007 (UTC)KomradeDave

[edit] Cartoon Version White?

Not worth a token mention that he's white in Spiderman? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.131.145.64 (talk) 00:15, 28 January 2007 (UTC).

I'm not sure if he was meant to be white in the Spider-man cartoon. He did wear a costume that pretty much was a Ghost Rider costume, if you look at it.

What comic does the picture come from? Is it new or old? Douglasdanger 01:04, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] petition

This should not be here. If it is any where ut should in the tv show's wiki. Even there it should not be put on any wikipedia page. Since a petition is not a thing you would find in a encyclopedia

[edit] Canon Changes

Guggenheim's run has established that he was always a hybrid (he stated in the letters column that while Blade was not shown having a bloodlust, there was nothing he could find archived that contradicted this, besides speculation). Is this worth including? This series is canonical so would that mean an update on his bio? KomradeDave 20:48, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
