First of all, the "family" is weak. Blade, is nothing short of an elite Killer and Hunter. Secondly, if you actually were forced to watch the second movi, you see the dude and his sister get their butts kicked by the tribunal. As we have seen Blade dismember entire tribunals, it only stands to reason he would decapitate the enitre twilight family, and then go after the tribunal. Thirdly, he is some punk whiny teenage vampire. Blade killed Dracula himself. Freaking Dracula. He also killed Triple H, who is a BAMF.

Again, doesn't matter. See the Assembly example I gave... Twilight dies, and all is world in my world again.

*Headdesk* No. Blade dies. May not be the best franchise in the world, but those Twilight vampires would rip him apart.
Powers and Abilities
Powers
Due to the fact that his mother was bitten by a vampire while giving birth to him, Blade was born with an immunity the effects of vampire bites, the ability to "smell" supernatural creatures, a greatly prolonged lifespan, and sensitivity to bright light. However, after being bitten by Michael Morbius, The Living Vampire, Blade gained various superhuman physical capabilities similar to those of vampires. Yet Blade claimed to have been born a half-vampire and that Morbius' bite changed nothing, thus having his origin retconned.
Superhumanly Acute Senses: Blade's sense of sight and hearing are heightend to levels comparable to those possessed by true vampires. He is capable of seeing objects with perfect clarity at much greater distances than an ordinary human. He retains this same level of clarity even in near-total darkness. Blade's hearing is similarly enhanced, allowing him to detect sounds that an ordinary human can't and to be able to hear sounds an ordinary human can, but at greater distances. Blade is also able to sense the presence of supernatural beings or forces, whereas an ordinary human would be oblivious to them.
Superhuman Strength: Blade is supernaturally strong and is capable of lifting about 1 ton.
Superhuman Speed: Blade is capable of running and moving at speeds greater than even the finest human athlete.
Superhuman Agility: Blade's agility, balance and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete.
Superhuman Stamina: Blade's musculature generates less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the musculature of an ordinary human. He can exert himself at peak capacity for several hours before fatigue begins to impair him.
Regenerative Healing Factor: Blade, like full vampires, possesses an accelerated healing ability that allows him to heal mild to moderate injuries with much greater speed and efficiency than an ordinary human. Blade is capable of healing from severe slashes and puncture wounds within a matter of hours. However, he is not able to regenerate missing limbs or organs.
Immunity To Vampire Vulnerabilities: True vampires have numerous and very particular supernatural vulnerabilities, most of which Blade is totally immune to. For instance, Blade is unaffected by direct exposure to sunlight, whereas most vampires are either rendered comatose during the daylight hours or are quickly incinerated when exposed directly to sunlight. Vampires are also highly allergic to silver, supposedly because of the metal's mystical purity. As a result, silver blades or bullets are capable of killing vampires. If not killed, and merely injured, it will take a vampire much longer to heal than if the injury had been inflicted by another material. Blade himself could be injured by a silver weapon, much as an ordinary human would, but his healing powers would be able to heal it as if it were an ordinary wound. Blade is also immune to the effects of religious icons, such as crucifixes, whereas vampires are rendered almost powerless when confronted by them.
Limitations: Blade does possess one weakness common to all vampires: the need to ingest fresh blood in order to stay alive. However, rather than consume blood, he ingests a specially designed serum that provides the same nourishment that blood would provide. If Blade doesn't drink the serum for an extended period of time, he will rapidly weaken and his self control will be stretched to the limit. He would be forced to attack a human and consume his or her blood. An extended period of time without consuming either blood or the serum will prove fatal.
Abilities
Blade is a master martial artist proficient in practically every form of weaponry known to man. His particular specialty is the use of edged weapons, be they teakwood daggers or swords. Blade is a master in the use of small bladed weapons and can hurl knives with great accuracy. Blade also shows great skill with firearms, including both automatic and semi-automatic, which he often modifies to fire hollow-point, garlic-filled silver bullets. He is also a skilled jazz trumpeter.
Strength level
Originally, Blade appeared to possess the normal human strength of a man of his age, height, and build that engaged in intensive regular exercise. However, after being bitten by Morbius, Blade's strength was increased to superhuman levels. At his peak, Blade is capable of lifting 1 ton.

Transportation

Weapons
Blade uses a small arsenal of weapons: teakwood daggers; titanium, acid-etched swords; Kevlar body armor; automatic and semi-automatic firearms converted for use with hollow-point, garlic-filled silver bullets; and a variety of portable, custom-designed weapons that employ silver, garlic, sunlight, ultraviolet rays and anti-coagulants.
Blade pressed on, often fighting alongside a team led by Quincy Harker, the great vampire hunter. The company's members included Rachel van Helsing and Frank Drake. Later, Blade teamed with vampiric private eye Hannibal King to hunt down and destroy Frost. Blade, King and Drake helped Dr. Strange, Master of the Mystic Arts and Earth's Sorcerer Supreme, cast a spell that destroyed Dracula and all the vampires on the planet.

toughness, it is mentioned that the only thing strong enough to hurt a vampire is another vampire, given the above strength levels it is safe to put the strength of their skin at something higher then granite so at least ten tons of force per square inch. Guns would do nothing, and if Blade's strength tops out at a ton, his sword would do nothing as well.

This is rubbish. I have smashed granite with a hammer. Blade would have no problem. Plus pressure changes due to the size of the object placing on it. If you can lift 1 ton then the same force in a small area like the edge of a katana is seriously increased. This would all depend on how strong the skin is in comparison to the blade.
My opinion is Blade would win this one. And it is certainly a fight I would like to see.

It takes much, much less force to shatter granite then it does to pulverize it, which is why you can swing a hammer and break it, but you would not be able to simply put the hammer against it and push and hope to get the same result
the vampire in the scene I am refering to explicitly pulverizes it only by squeezing it in one hand, that is pretty much superman level strength.
Also I forgot to mention regeneration, and in a sentance I never thought I would write SPOLIERS FOR TWILIGHT.
so at the end of the books bella gets pregnant with Ed's kid. Having a super strong fetus inside of you is a bad thing by the time she gives birth, her hips and spine is broken, she has mssive internal injuries, and oh yeah has been pretty much disemboweled becase they had to deliver the baby by cesarean with their freakin teeth. then they make her a vampire. A day or two later she does not even have a scar. so add minior regeneration to the powers kit as well.
Blade fights vampires, the Twilight vamps are not really vampires but super freaking vampires. Blade and the vampires he faces, in the movie or the comics, are just written at a much lower power level. so if you take them as written the T-vamps will just destroy Blade.

Extrapolate that out and the t-vamps should be able to juggle tanks with out
breaking a sweat seem at least to be in the same league as modern superman,
not the planet mover version of course, but pretty darn strong
