Yes, indeed ...
a huge fan of Marvel comics.....
a huge fan of Marvel movie films .... .
a huge fan of Morbius the Living Vampire ....
a huge fan of Spiderman's most deadliest foes ....
- What could help the movie goers interested in Morbius the movie, but not familiar with the character, is he is not a true, " undead " vampire.
He's not one that has physically died and returned to walking earth as a vampire, in the traditional sense of vampires.
- As a biochemist, he had a rare blood disease and sought a cure thru a scientific experiment (involving bats) to cure his disease.
An experiment that of course went wrong and turned into a pseudo-vampire.
But like traditional vampire, he still needs to feed off living tissue blood.
- Just like Blade,..Morbius is considered a "pseudo-vampire "
Vampires that were created and originated through alternate means like science, mutations, or magic other than that of the Dark hold Evil Powers..
- While Morbius possesses many traditional vampire strengths, self-regeneration, minor hypnotic powers, gliding on air,
he does not have their same weaknesses towards the sun, garlic and religious artifacts.
He can regenerate injured tissue, but he is not invulnerable. If he has not consumed sufficient blood, Morbius’ body has difficulty repairing itself.
Nice! Thank you for that background on him. Despite being a huge Marvel comics guy myself (with over 3,000 comics in my basement to prove it), I’m not too familiar with the Morbius character.
For your sake as well as Jared Leto’s, I hope the film performs well. Maybe I’ll have to check it out in January?
