Ashley J "Ash" Williams is one of action/horror's most iconic protagonists. Armed with his "boomstick" (A 12-gauge, double-barreled Remington-S-Mart's top of the line. Found in the sporting goods department, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retailing for about $199.95, it's got a walnut stock, colbalt blue steel and a hair trigger.), chainsaw (sometimes mounted in place of his right hand), and sometimes a Winchester Model 1894 rifle, Ash is able to kill deadites just as fast as he is able to spout tough guy one-liners ("Yo she-bitch, let's dance"). Ash many times is delightfully dimwitted, and is probably totally incapable of doing anything competent other than fighting deadites. He also can be somewhat cowardly when faced with a new challenge, and be downright arrogant among strangers. But when push comes to shove, his resolve overcomes any fear or selfishness he has.
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.
