Blade: The Daywalker's Shadow and the Retcon That Redefined Him | Marvel Echoes Podcast Ep. 28
Description
In Episode 28 of Marvel Echoes Resonance, we step into the shadows to track Marvel's most relentless hunter: Blade. But who is Blade? A 70s-era gritty human hunter, or the leather-clad, superhuman Daywalker? The answer is... both.
We trace Blade's complete history, from his tragic 1970s origin in Tomb of Dracula—born as the vampire Deacon Frost murdered his mother—to the massive, game-changing retcon in 1999. We'll explore how the Wesley Snipes film created a pop-culture echo so powerful, it rippled backward into the comics, forcing a change that redefined his powers and legacy forever.
Whether you're a longtime fan of the Nightstalkers or just know the Daywalker from the films, this episode breaks down the man, the monster, and the mission.
