"This isn't the first time Blade and Dracula have clashed on the battlefield. As members of the Avengers, Blade and Dracula were once formidable allies, with Dracula aiding the Avengers in eradicating vampires. However, when Dracula established the Vampire Nation, the Avengers' attack would have escalated into an act of war. Blade severed ties with the superhero team, declaring himself the Sheriff of Vampire Town and vowing to enforce the law against any vampires who ventured out of line. Despite his animosity towards vampires, Blade finds himself inexplicably drawn to their side, seeking Dracula's assistance in training him to combat the formidable adversary known as Adana."
