Five Reasons Why Wesley Snipes is a Badass
2. Blade (1998)
“Some motherfuckers are always trying to ice-skate uphill.”
“Looks like your mascara’s running.”
A half-vampire, half-mortal Blade (Wesley Snipes) struggles with his humanity, tussling with flashbacks of his past, only to become the protector of the mortal race, slaying evil vampires to prevent the rise of the so called ‘Blood God.’ Blade’s first solo story hit the stands back in 1974 (Vampire Tales #8). That Marvel story grew into the comic franchise that ultimately became “Blade” the motion picture. This movie was both one of Marvel’s early attempts that not only became a fan favorite, but also paved the way for subsequent Marvel movies like Bryan Singer’s “X-Men” movie. In a way, that means we have “Avengers” and “Guardians of the Galaxy” because Wesley Snipes is such a badass… Vampire.

“You better wake up. The world you live in is just a sugar-coated topping! There is another world beneath it: the real world. And if you wanna survive it, you better learn to PULL THE TRIGGER!”
… so am I supposed to eat the ice cream first? I don’t…
“Mother fucker!”
