Horror R2: Blade vs. Dracula

Due to an enzyme in his blood stream resultant from his mother's being bitten by a vampire while giving birth to him, Blade is immune to the bites of typical, supernatural vampires. At certain instances he also appeared immune to vampire hypnosis as well. He lacked superhuman physical attributes, however, and relied solely on his considerable skill and determination until Morbius, an atypical, scientifically created vampire, bit him and Blade was turned into something resembling a dhampir. Blade possesses superhuman strength, stamina, speed, agility, heightened senses, and a rapid healing factor that attacks any alien substances (chemicals/viruses) in his body and eliminates any chance of him being rendered helpless or maimed from the inside and is unaffected by daylight and most other traditional vampire weaknesses. He also ages very slowly (although he's not immortal) and can preternaturally sense supernatural activity.

Blade is a master martial artist, swordsman, marksman and street-fighter. He is adept in the usage of throwing knives. He is highly knowledgeable about vampire lore. He is also an accomplished jazz trumpeter.

There have been many depictions of Dracula over the years. Perhaps the most iconic is by Bela Lugosi in the 1931 film Dracula, which was based on the classic Bram Stoker novel. Dracula possesses many superhuman and supernatural powers. He is said to have "The strength of 20 men", as well as the ability to hypnotize most humans. Since he is undead, he is not harmed by conventional attack or weapons. He also has a limited control of the weather around him, able to create mists and storms. Perhaps his most iconic power is the ability to shapeshift into a bat, or sometimes rat.

Unlike other vampire lore, daylight is not lethal to Dracula. He is however severely limited in his power in daylight. It is also very draining to him, much like physical effort can be tiring to a human.

And he does not drink.... wine.
