As a gypsy, she knew he was coming and they team up to take on the vampires

Prior to finding Cynthia he released an inmate who helped him find her. It is Lucas Cross

A flashback of Blade being trained as a vampire hunter by Jamal Afari

Another flashback shows a pre-teen Blade (Eric Brooks) killing a man he thought was a vampire but was really suffering from porphyria

Jamal tells him to leave town instead of turning himself head or the world will be deprived a vampire hunter

Blade is apprehended when ATM footage shows him staking a female vampire named Renee Kimbrell

He cannot be charged because there is no body but his fingerprints are used as evidence from all the valuables he’s taken from vampires he’s killed over the years

He escapes from a prison bus taking him to Ryker’s Island 

He becomes a public enemy and travels from town to town

He comes across a demon soul-jumper known as Animus who is possessing a Santa and tries possessing Blade but cannot because he has no soul

Animus possesses an officer and makes him blow his head off before possessing Santa again

Blade is forced to blow off Santa’s head, killing the man and Animus. It is Morton’s Fork: having only two choices which are both terrible

During the superhuman civil war, Blade scraps with Morbius who is registered and calls S.H.I.E.L.D. agents against him

Blade is offered immunity from S.H.I.E.L.D. as a superhuman and can continue his vampire-hunting if he brings Wolverine in DOA to S.H.I.E.L.D.

Blade and Wolverine meet for the first time. They fight very briefly but Blade remembers Logan saved him from a vampire when he was younger so he lets him go and tells Maria Hill

Lucas Cross’ people take Blade while he is sleeping and incarcerate him

A flashback reveals Lucas Cross creating a diversion in Latveria to allow his wife and unborn son to escape to London and take refuge in Madame Vanity’s brothel

Blade needs to feed on bleed so Lucas provides a girl for him but Blade refuses

Lucas reveals he’s Blade’s father

Revealed that Cross accused a Baron of being a dictator and planned to kill him which he was imprisoned for in the past

Blade chews his hand off to escape his chain and helps the girl escape. He finds out he’s in D.C. 

Cross wants to be killed by his cellmate because he has cancer anyway, but the cellmate offers him life by making him a vampire which Cross becomes

Blade goes to London to discover more about his father

Blade fights a vampire named Draconis who’s more powerful than the average vampire. He became immune to all vampire’s weaknesses because he had a strong religious faith as a human prior to being turned as well as feeding on his own kind

Blade and Hannibal King team up to take Draconis down, Blade manages to suck blood out of Draconis weakening him, then pulls his head off

As Madame Vanity, Blade’s adoptive mother, died, she told Blade his true mother had a secret. In the present, Blade opens Tara Cross’ coffin and takes a letter from her hand

In the letter she admits that Lucas Cross was her husband and that they are both members of the Order of Tyrana

Blade calls former S.H.I.E.L.D director Maria Hill about information on Tyrana and she tells him they’re linked to the Knights of Pendragon which are an offshoot of the former and connected to the WWII hero Union Jack. The current Union Jack is the 3rd version

Union Jack tells them the Order is good, not bad 

King and Blade go to D.C. where Blade talks with Lucas and distracts him long enough for King to obtain the paper with the prophecy 

Blade realizes that the first part of the prophecy has already been fulfilled- “A father in chains/freed by a son not yet birthed”- when Blade went back in time to Latveria

King and Blade go to La Crosse, KS where the Helicarrier infested with vampires that Blade took down crashed

King tells Blade that a nearby farmer saw dozens of government agents as well as a green/black hooded figure around the area

Blade goes to NYC and speaks with Spiderman who was bitten by the same green/black figure when he followed him into a school and saw him meet up with Dracula

Spidey reveals that that figure’s name is Jamal Afari who Blade thought dead when he had to kill him after Dracula bit him

Since both Lucas and Blade are looking for Dracula, they head to Transylvania together and bring Hannibal King 

The prophecy is supposedly supposed to return souls to all vampires and make them human again. If Blade destroys the amulet that made him immortal immortal against Draconis staking him and sticks the wooden stake that killed Dracula into the grounds of his castle, the prophecy is fulfilled

Hannibal fights Blade over the prophecy because Blade refuses to fulfill it and is staked in the heart and dies. Dracula appears

Dracula has been seeking the same amulet and resurrected Jamal Afari using the Espil Shade after his death because he knew where the Amulet was but Afari diverted Dracula to NY instead of London where it was, impressing Dracula because he resisted the power of the invoker of the Espil Shade

Dracula tells Blade to set the stake on the ground who refuses so Dracula hurts Jamal. Blade allows the stake to touch ground

Expecting a change, Lucas is shocked when nothing happens. Hannibal comes back to life and punches Blade in the face

“Returning essence lost from those undead in graves” made Lucas think the prophecy was talking about souls but it actually referred to lives, so every single dead vampire is resurrected 

Blade is forced to spare Dracula’s life and let him run after Dracula had killed his friends but spared his life many years ago

Blade allows Lucas to live wanting him to suffer for his mistake

King is upset that Blade didn’t try to destroy the stake for the sake of vampire souls when he didn’t know what would happen

Blade explains he didn’t want to be rid of of his bloodlust which he needs more than ever now for the resurrected vampires and gives King the potion that Dr. Doom gave him

Blade always reminds himself of the possessions he took from his 4 murdered friends and Jamal to honor them 

Blade and Wolverine find themselves fighting vampires together in Madripoor. They are a cult known as The Creed

Thinking they wiped the Creed out, one is left living 

Six months later in NYC, Wolverine kills a Mutant Liberation Front enemy, Dragoness, who he realizes had been turned into a vampire. They fight in a construction site where she was after a hidden box containing the same markings as the Temple of the Creed

In Von Stadt, Germany, Blade is fighting the vampire who survived known as Count Von Stadt. He surprises Blade by shooting beams out of his eyes and after Blade manages to cause the top of his castle to fall and impale him, Blade demands to know how Von Stadt got his new powers which Von Stadt refuses and burns to death by sunlight 

Wolverine visits Doctor Strange who tells him that of the 3 vampire congregations, only the Creed worship in a temple and worship their vampire messiah Varkis who is prophesied to bring all vampires together one day

Strange posits that the box contains the Khandra which is the only means to slay Varkis. Strange also knows the spell to open the box

A pictogram on the box reveals that Blade and Wolverine will come to blows again

Blade interrogates a man named Desmond about the eye beams who tells him that vampires have been turning mutants into vampires

He tells him about Varkis who is supposedly a mutant, so vampires have been turning mutants at every chance they get hoping that Varkis will be revealed

Wolverine and Blade end up in Belize at the Temple. Wolverine assumes Blade is in league with the Creed and Blade suspects Wolverine may be the vampire-mutant messiah

Blade and Wolverine get into a bloody battle

They come to realize that they thought the other was Varkis and realize they’re not after each other

A clone vampire Wolverine reveals himself as Varkis who was created from the flesh of Wolverine that was cut off six months ago

Blade and Wolverine defeat and kill Varkis by cutting him high and low. Blade detonates the temple
