The marvel of the Spider-Man universe is that its characters tend to be quite diverse, and most are not outright evil or good, but can be quite ambiguous as well. Case in point, Dr. Michael Morbius, a.k.a the Living Vampire, who started out as a villain, then became an anti-hero and occasional ally of Spidey himself, just like Venom.

This week, let us turn our focus on Morbius’ comic book history, and try to make sense of this 50-year-old (!) character has remained in the dark for so long.
