I was gonna say, with both Morbius and Blade getting movies....the idea of seeing them cross each other in the MCU is intriguing.

@@sewercotr3243 Sadly he's not. They cast Mahershala Ali as Blade. But, it would he a major missed opportunity if he didn't at least cameo. Or with the multiverse going on, show Wesley Snipes as a version of Blade in an alternate universe from that of the MCU.

Morbius might've disappeared from comics halfway through the 90's, but he was in the animated Spider-Man series, where his origin was changed a bit: He still was trying to cure his disease with the use of bats, but it was ultimately Spider-Man's radioactive blood combined with bat-blood that caused his transformation. He also didn't bite his victims, but had (sort of) suction caps on the palms of his hands he used to "suck plasma*" through their skin. *: My guess is the show named it 'plasma' instead of 'blood' to make it more kid-friendly.

Leto looks like a terrible version of Morbius. When I watch the 90's version I see Morbius, when I look at Leto I see terrible casting. I hate to say it but Leto was a better choice for Joker then he was for Morbius.

@@meteor22 vampires are stupid. Imagine: "you get to be immortal but you're an undead who has to suck blood from the living and can only enter homes when invited while also dying if sunlight just slightly touches your skin. Also all religious objects work against you and you cant eat normal foud without getting severly sick to the point of puking your guts out." How long until you're depressed to the point of becoming a hermitcrab? No contact, you'll lose your mind in months, the only thing that can save you from your depression is the full blast of the sun which wil also kill you. Vampires suck, and i'm not talking about their diet
I love how when Morbius changed into his vampire form, that came with a cool costume. Does he have the same power as Piccolo?

Can we appreciate the stellar pencils on display in some of these panels?
One specific thing that cemented Morbius in my mind was in his most recent run by Vita Ayala. He had a short dialogue with himself about ancient Greek philosophers and their ideas of ethics as well as mankind's roll as a species. How Aristotle stated that Mankind's function was to be rational, that people were succeeding in their own humanity if they acted from reason. That how the greatest good, the greatest virtue, was something that was that was self-sustaining, something that people would want for it's own sake and not for something abstract like approval from others, or anything that is really done because you want something else. Morbius concluded that good health was that self-sustaining virtue or at least one of them. I really pondered on that and I couldn't help but agree. Good health is simply a question of balance and balance in anything is the highest possible virtue a person could ask for. I wouldn't have learned that if I didn't pick up this comic. From that point on I couldn't help but have an appreciation for the tragic man of reason and intellect that is Michael Morbius.

I wonder if Marvel is setting up Midnight Sons with Dr. Srange, Blade, Morbius, Moon Knight and Bloodstone. I could see the MCU combining ARMOR and Midnight Sons, basically the supernatural SHIELD.

You have taught me pretty much *ALL* of what I know about comics. Before finding you, my knowledge was strictly from series 1 & 2 Marvel collectible cards from early 90s; reruns of the Hulk tv show on scifi channel; the animated X-Men, Batman, and Spider-Man series from 90s; and then just any movie with comic characters, from Christopher Reeves as Superman and Michael Keaton as Batman all the way up through current day Marvel Studios' MCU and such. In all that time, I have only actually read two comics/graphic novels: Death of Superman and Old Man Logan. For literally everything else, you have been the reader, the watcher, the story-teller. And I can't thank you enough. You make the world of comics and geek culture a better place. Thanks, Rob.
Sounds like you're in a rush! I'm used to your more layed back(yet excited) way of telling the story. You jumped right into it; no small talk at all. Still good brief video.
Lol I just saw the trailer and knew that I could find back story on your channel. Thanks for being so quick on these uploads!
THank you!! i've been looking for a video like this, finally
What if Ra's al Ghul got the Ten Rings What if Doctor Strange got the Helmet of Fate What if Darkseid got the Cosmic Cube What if Deadpool got the Mask What if Darkseid fought The Avengers. What if Thanos got the Anti-Life Equation What if Shang-Chi was the Iron Fist What if Superman landed in Asguard What if the Batman Who Laughs invaded the Marvel Universe

As a MCU watcher that doesn't (and has never) read comics. I really want Morbius, Blade, and whoever else there is that would make sense (Scarlet Witch maybe?), forming a "Marvel Dark" spinoff, where they face the eldritch monsters, since I don't think those enemies fit in the "daytime" MCU.
I like this history recap of Morbius. So many things I wasn’t aware of. Thanks Rob!

Another great video Rob! Please do a Midnight Sons video!
Hopefully this will in some way.. usher in Blade. I miss Blade. Snipes did it best but I'm excited to see what Ali will bring to the table.
I loved the Morbius from Spiderman the Animated Series. They couldn't have a blood thirsty vampire on a kids show so they had to make him hunger for plasma.
Yes Rob you are on top of things ! I was waiting for this one
He was amazing. I like what they did with his story in the animated series. I wish he did more with Blade in the comics.

Some of the coolest Vampire "drawings" or Comic art, imo, are the Morbius interpretations. I LOVED how he was written in Maximum Carnage! Hoping the movie is at least Good
Midnight Sons and Spirits of Vengeance got me Hooked on Ghost Rider. I believe the only legitimate redemption for him will be to introduce Danny Ketch.
you know what i just realized ? the movie Justice league: Gods and Monsters got their idea of how their batman , A.K.A Man-Bat , became the way he was from Morbius's story .
Hope Mobius makes a cameo in the upcoming Blade reboot 👍👌🙏

The Midnight Sons was what got me into comics. I was huge fan of all of those comics, and never knew Morbius was even a Spiderman villain before. I've been longing for a decent Ghost Rider movie, though the AoS version was damn good.
Rob my brother . What’s going on love the vids 💪🏽💪🏽
The Midnight Sons were awesome! That was one of my favorite comic runs growing up. I really hope they’re brought into the MCU. 🤞🤞
The Darkhold comic was really fun. The issues ft Sabretooth was my favorite.
I had read most everything from 101 up till about mid 1980's. I find myself wanting all the Curtis B&W magazines , they were adult R rated magazines with awesome content.
You did better than I could have on this.
You forgot Morbius in Stan Lee's Vampire Tales series in 1975. That was where and when I got into Morbius.
Just requested this a week ago🙏 bless
Very nice
Bringing out the team up of Blade, Morbius, and Black Cat would be cool
No, you're not the only one. I LOVED THE MIDNIGHT SONS COMICS! I was reading Nightstalkers, Spirits of Vengeance, and Darkhold during their runs. And I'm super excited about the Midnight Suns game, based on the Midnight Sons storyline and made by the Firaxis X-com team (which was delayed until the second half of 2022 today).
Right on time to go with the trailer
It's morbin time
I remember reading that story when it was new . Time passes so" fast .
I think a Blade/Morbius team up could be cool in the MCU if the movies are good. Also the idea of Peter Parker going to the Lizard for help with his arm problem is just hysterical to me
I loved the Midnight Sons stuff. More content please. ;)
