Gen Z might think that the Marvel Cinematic Universe started with Iron Man, but veteran watchers know exactly where it all began. There's another movie that has the honor of pushing Marvel movies into the mainstream, featuring the most unconventional hero: Blade. Marvel's most notorious vampire hunter debuted back in 1998, which made everyone think that this is where the studio's success story begins. The fandom wasn't wrong, and the Blade Trilogy became one of Marvel Studios' most popular projects and a cult classic. Wesley Snipes' portrayal of Blade became a pop culture icon, and vampires rose to popularity like never before.
