Aceblade (Comic Book Character)

**Character Overview**

**Aceblade** is a superhero character created by Danny J. Quick and published by 4th Wall Productions. The character, whose real name is Terrell Durham, is known for his distinctive royal purple costume and his vigilantism in the city of Las Vegas. Aceblade’s story is deeply rooted in themes of personal integrity and fighting against corruption.

**Background**

**Powers and Abilities**

Aceblade does not possess superhuman powers. Instead, he relies on his elite technical fighting skills and a variety of gadgets to combat crime. His notable gadgets include armblades, a utility belt, and HUD goggles. Aceblade is adept at turning almost anything into a weapon, which adds a unique flair to his combat style【3†source】【4†source】.

**Enemies and Allies**

Throughout his vigilante career, Aceblade faces numerous adversaries such as Gutshot, BlakJak, Rhewlette, Hammerhands, and many others. Despite these challenges, he remains focused on protecting the people of his city rather than seeking personal glory【6†source】【7†source】.

**Publication History**

Aceblade’s adventures are chronicled in multiple issues and trade paperbacks. The "Vegas Vigilante" arc, collected in the first trade paperback, explores Aceblade’s dark origins and includes additional mini-comics, commentary by the creators, and a gallery of themed artwork. The series has expanded over the years, with new issues continuing to develop the character’s story and his fight against crime in Las Vegas.

**Creators**

Aceblade was a collaborative effort with Danny J. Quick serving as both a writer and letterer, Christopher Hollars as a co-creator, and features the artwork of different creators including Wolly McNair and Richard Cardoso contributing as penciller and colorist, respectively【5†source】.

Aceblade is a prominent example of independent black comic creation, showcasing diverse storytelling and complex characters within the superhero genre.
