To be quite honest, I've always believed that besides an imunity to bites & slightly upgraded fighting & surviving skills, the only "changes" in Blade ultimately came from different writers just upgrading his fighting style through the years. What powers are you referring to?
I pulled the same trade which I was fortunate enough to have had signed by Gene Colan just before his passing. I also found no evidence of advanced powers.

You'll see here...

http://marvel.com/characters/295/blade

...Marvel states that, following a bite from Morbius he now has the super strength, agility, stamina and healing factor of a traditional Marvel vampire without the vampire's weaknesses.

Also, I read that in the Deadpool "Dracula's Guantlet" story Blade either did, or threatened to, turn himself into a bat.

So, no one knows in what comic issue Blade acquired his super powers resulting from Morbius' bite?

Thanks, Shoo! Do his powers develop in this issue, as well?

So, this issue does show Blade receiving Morbius' bite but not that his new vampiric powers manifest afterwards.

Anyone know the book and issue where this happens?

Thanks, again, Shoo! I'm almost there!

Sorry about that. The sources I found with my Google-fu kind of made it seem it was an immediate thing, but I should have known better. It couldn't have been much later, though, as apparently they had him bitten as an excuse to make Blade more like in the first movie. Therefore it probably happened on his next appearance after August 1999 (cover date of Peter Parker Spider-Man (II) #8). Perhaps Blade: Vampire Hunter, which ran from December 1999 through May 2000.

Good luck tracking it!

Is there a definitive arc or detailed comic or story where we see exactly what happened to make Norrin Radd choose to become the Silver Surfer? I know a wife or girlfriend was involved & he chose to become the Surfer to save his home planet, but is there a good story which shows all of this? Has it ever been updated?
