Previously, the superhero story producer, Marvels Comics, once made a superhero story against the vampire nation in 1973. Blade, his name. Every day the figure sacrificed himself to be the savior of mankind from a vampire attack.

The story of superheroes does have a big market. The superhero can come from anywhere. Can come from other planets. It could also be from ordinary people who by something have super powers. The world also knows the figures of Captain America, Spiderman, and Hulk.

Captain America gained super power because of a serum. The Hulk doesn't want to lose. The figure of a green and kavy man gets super powers from failed experiments. However, Marve Wolfmanand (author) and Gene Colan (commissioned) had other ideas.

Both are trying to develop the idea of a superhero named Blade for Marvels in 1973. Blade is a human half-demonstrelious defender of virtue. The half-mamployed man has super powers like his strong physique and fast healing.

Later the Blade story tried to be raised to the screenlive action from 1992. The famous director, Stephen Norrington, was then interested in joining the Blade film project. Improvement of the story idea was carried out. In fact, trying further from the comic story.

Blade' character is made like a cold-blooded vampire killer. They also started a search for Blade figures who incidentally belonged to the Afro-American circle. However, the choice of the main star fell on actor, Wesley Snipes.

Snipes is considered to be the representation of a perfect Blade. He spoke a little, but could destroy vampirs that disturb humanity. The film was then produced in 1996.

The presence of Snipes adds to the fierce figure of Blade. He immediately put Blade as a superhero that many people go by. That trust came because Snipes had previously appeared in action blockbuster films such as the action film Passenger 57 in 1992, Demolition Man in 1993, andMoney Train in 1995.

"Snipes plays a special vampire, Dalmost. He can walk during the day and is not affected by sunlight. Even though he still has to wear sunglasses because he is sensitive to bright light," Lesley Hawkes said in the book Popular Appeal (2013).

Ulam's beloved pinnacle has finally arrived. Blade film was finally released worldwide on August 21, 1998. World film lovers are starting to mix theaters to find out the beginning of Blade's story and why he hates vampire.

Blade is said to have a grudge against the vampire nation because it has made her mother who is pregnant with Blade die. Especially Blade, who can survive and then become a vampire. He also has the power to defeat vampir who wants to rule the human world.

The results were brilliant. The seasoning of the story made the Blade film sell well. Films full of matches, acts bloody, to violence. The film even benefits up to hundreds of millions of dollars worldwide. The success then led tolade II (2002) and Blud Trinity (2004).

'Blade is a mixed human vampir who was born to a pregnant woman who was desperately bitten by a vampire. So she has vampire power but is endowed with the ability to survive during the day. Even though Blade was forced to consume certain serums to suppress her blood thirst," said Peter Bradshaw in his writings on The Guardian's website, October 27, 2021.
