| Origin | |
| A Nobel Prize winning biochemist, Dr. Michael Morbius discovered that he was dying from a rare disease that was dissolving his blood cells. Working with a fellow scientist, Morbius unsuccessfully attempted to stop the progress of the disease by using fluids distilled from vampire bats. It wasn't until he attempted to stimulate the creation of more blood cells in his system via electric shock treatments that the chemicals from the vampire bats activated a transformation into a living vampire simply known as Morbius. |
