Morbius

Morbius, the Living Vampire (aka Dr. Michael Morbius) is a Marvel Comics superhero created by Roy Thomas and designed by Gil Kane. Morbius first appeared as the enemy of Spider-Man in The Amazing Spider-Man #101 (October 1971). Morbius went on to become a brooding, gritty and tragically flawed antihero in his own series and other titles. His true identity is that of a former award-winning biochemist named Michael Morbius, who was imbued with pseudo-vampiric superhuman abilities and physical traits after a failed biochemical experiment which was intended to cure his rare blood disease.
