Years later, Blade is hunting Deacon Frost, a powerful young vampire, and destroying his vampire nightclubs. Eric decided to change his name to Blade and has since then gained infamy among vampires for his ability to walk in the light of the day, often being called the Daywalker. Whistler developed a serum that allowed Eric to hold off his vampiric thirst and taught him everything he knew about hunting, fighting, and killing vampires. He then once again ran into Abraham Whistler, who became his helper, mentor, and lifelong friend. But due to his blood-thirst Eric turned the members of the gang and departed. Sometime later, Eric was taken in by a street gang known as the Bad Bloods. Eric realized the nature of his thirst after saving a man from criminals in the back room of his shop, where he believed his father died due to a gunshot wound.

When it became apparent that Eric could not be contained and his thirst could not be satisfied, Robert called in Abraham Whistler, an expert vampire hunter. For a time, Eric was fed with butcher's blood and stolen blood from the hospital by his father. Eric was born while his mother was dying, inheriting the powers of a vampire without developing their weaknesses, except for the thirst. Vanessa, a nurse, was attacked and bitten by a vampire while she was in pregnancy.
