Synopsis:
Blade is determined to get to the Darkhold page that will enable him to destroy everything supernatural. He attacks Samantha Regent (and hospital employees) and demands to know where the letter is but she won't tell him. Finally he begs Samantha to tell him where it is. She then tells him that Maxxy has it. Hannibal, Frank and John Blaze know what Blade is trying to do and attempt to stop him. They reach him and "Linda" destroys the letter but not before Blade has read the page. He accepts the Other's offer of the opportunity to revenge himself against everything unnatural. He is then turned into Switchblade, a being capable of absorbing the magical abilities of everyone that he destroys. He kills Hannibal King and John Blaze and sets off to kill everyone else that is magical. Ghost Rider shows up and vows vengeance for the death of John Blaze.
