Specifically, he’s coming to hunt down blood-suckers and other things that go bump in the night in Marvel: Avengers Alliance. Blade is the new reward character and the star of a brand new Spec Op that goes live today, pitting S.H.I.E.L.D. against a surprise villain who forces it to turn to the vampre hunter for assistance.
Here’s how Disney Interactive describes the Spec Op:
"On the Eve of a rare solar eclipse, a terrifying alliance between Demons and Vampires threatens to tear the world asunder. Splitting their forces and enlisting the aid of Blade, the Vampire hunter, S.H.I.E.L.D. must combat the forces of darkness and restore order or will night become permanent."
Permanent night would be good for sales of glowsticks and lightbulbs but probably bad for everything else. The split mission sees Doctor Strange leading the fight against the demons in New York while Blade heads to London to take the battle to the vampiric hordes.
In any case, you need to act now if you want to add Blade to your team, because like any Spec Op, this one won’t be around for too many nights. And to be honest, maybe that’s a good thing. Demon-vampire team-ups sound like they could lead to trouble.
