Abraham Whistler is a fictional character appearing in media based on Marvel Comics. A vampire hunter and the mentor of Blade, created by David S. Goyer for the 1998 film Blade, named after Abraham van Helsing, the nemesis of Count Dracula from Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897), Whistler first appeared in Spider-Man: The Animated Series in 1995, adapted from Goyer's then-unfilmed screenplay, where he was originally voiced by Malcolm McDowell and later by Oliver Muirhead.[1] Whistler then made his live-action debut in Blade, portrayed by Kris Kristofferson, who reprised the role in Blade II (2002) and Blade: Trinity (2004), with comparisons made between Whistler and Jamal Afari, who appeared in the original Marvel Comics as Blade's mentor.
