Morbius is an anti-hero comic book series originally created by Roy Thomas and published by Marvel Comics.
A spin-off of the Spider-Man series, it follows Dr. Michael Morbius, a brilliant scientist with a rare blood condition. He, along with his best friend Emil Nikos, attempted to cure the blood disease and developed an experimental treatment involving vampire bats and electroshocks. Its side effects turned him into a pseudo-vampire who needed to consume blood in order to survive. Initially an adversary of Spider-Man and Blade, Morbius became a vigilante while struggling with his insatiable lust for blood and his subsequent efforts to cure his horrific condition.
