I mentioned it in the Legends thread, but both Blade and Man-Thing also had their own comic runs under the Marvel Knights brand, which also just so happens to be the name for the wave, hence their appearances in the wave.

All of the other characters in the wave have also had either their own Marvel Knights runs (Blade, Man-Thing/Jessica Jones/Daredevil/Punisher) or were characters who played important parts in those titles (Bullseye/Elektra). They all fit in rather nicely, even if they are not directly related to one another.

Hey...I just realized this...but we just got another wave without a Spider-Man, Captain America, Wolverine, or Iron Man in it. Now that is something to be excited about... =)
