Morbius the Living
Vampire, a.k.a. Dr. Michael Morbius, is a fictional character appearing Marvel
Comics. Created by writer Roy Thomas, the character first appeared as an
antagonist in The Amazing Spider-Man #101 (Oct. 1971).
Despite his initial
status as one of Spider-Man's horror-based rogues, he went on to become a
brooding and gritty-albeit heroic and tragically flawed-antihero in his own
series and other titles. His true identity was former award-winning biochemist
named Michael Morbius imbued with pseudo-vampiric superhuman abilities and
physical traits stemming from a failed biochemical experiment which was
intended to cure his rare blood disorder, as opposed to supernatural means. The
rest of his appearances feature his struggles with his non-human vampiric
persona, his insatiable lust for human blood and his subsequent efforts to cure
his horrific condition, along with his eventual stint as a brutal and
nightmarish vigilante.
Morbius is scheduled
to be released in the United States on July 31, 2020
