Blade (1998)

other movies sharing the same reality: Blade II (2002); Blade: Trinity (2004)

TV series sharing the same reality: Blade: The Series

Blade marked the first truly successful live-action movie made about a Marvel superhero. With Wesley Snipes in the main role, the character was re-vamped (no pun intended) to give him superhuman powers the comics version didn't have (at that time), plus a partner Whistler, previously only seen in the 1994 Spider-Man cartoon. However what it did right was to treat its subject matter with respect, and no matter the surface changes, to keep the heart of the original.
