10 Most Violent Comic Book Heroes Ever
9. Blade - Marvel
Perhaps one of the most underrated superheroes to come out of Marvel's extensive universe, Blade has the honour of calling himself one of the only heroes to literally be bloodthirsty all of the time. This half vampire vampire-hunter grew up in the dingy dark streets of London and carries a level of ruthlessness that intimates a lifetime of hardship.
Unlike most of the heroes in this list who started off dark and broody before gradually moving closer to what audiences associate with a hero, Blade arguably goes further and further in the opposite as his arc goes on, even after he hunts down and kills arch-enemy Dracula.
Armed with his frenzied rage, various martial arts skills and a whole array of bladed weaponry, Blade's hatred of his own kind is what dominates his stories as well as his personality and has proven to be a fixation that he cannot move on from.
Readers have seen Blade decimate entire hordes of vampires, spilling blood by the bucketload in the process, and then climbing atop the wreckage like a twisted God.
