Fictional Team History
Before being formally gathered by Doctor Strange to fight supernatural threats, Hannibal King, Frank Drake, and Blade had founded the detective agency King, Drake, and Blade, later renamed Borderline Investigations.
After Strange manipulated the trio into forming the Nightstalkers, the team fought the many supernatural enemies that were emerging, including the Lilin; Meatmarket; HYDRA's Department of Occult Armaments (DOA) and its renegade Dracula clone, Bloodstorm, who slaughtered that division, including its chief, Lt. Belial; and, ultimately, the one-time Lord of Vampires, Varnae.

Famous quotes containing the words fictional, team and/or history:
“One of the proud joys of the man of letters—if that man of letters is an artist—is to feel within himself the power to immortalize at will anything he chooses to immortalize. Insignificant though he may be, he is conscious of possessing a creative divinity. God creates lives; the man of imagination creates fictional lives which may make a profound and as it were more living impression on the world’s memory.”
—Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
“I doubt if men ever made a trade of heroism. In the days of Achilles, even, they delighted in big barns, and perchance in pressed hay, and he who possessed the most valuable team was the best fellow.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“History, as an entirety, could only exist in the eyes of an observer outside it and outside the world. History only exists, in the final analysis, for God.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
