Vampiric Vigilante

**Dr. Michael Morbius** is the main protagonist of the 2022 superhero film, *Morbius*, which is the third film in the *Sony's Spider-Man Universe* franchise. He is a biochemist with a fatal blood disease who is working a cure for it. He eventually ends up making one by splicing his DNA with vampire bats at the cost of turning into a vampire himself.

He was played by Jared Leto.

## What makes him Magnificent?

* He is very tragic. He grew up as an orphan with a fatal blood disease that inspired him to make a cure. When he did, it turned him into a vampire that is a threat to people.
* He cares deeply over Emil, Martine, and Milo with him being enraged over the deaths of the former two and is very remorseful over having to kill him and not wanting to take the cure for his rare blood disease.
* Is a genius biochemist who is able to fix Milo's blood pump with a ballpoint pen, receive a doctorate at just 19 years of age, and won a Nobel Peace Prize for creating artificial blood - which he turned down.
	+ The artificial blood he created also saved many lives - including that of FBI Agent Simon Shroud, who was stationed in Afghanistan at the time.
* Successfully smuggled vampire bats out of Costa Rica.
* Convinced Milo to fund his illegal experiments over international waters.
* Creates a successful cure for his blood disease by slicing his DNA with vampire bats at the cost of turning into a vampire.
* Uses his powers to quickly get rid of the first half mercenaries and gets rid of the rest by using stealth moves.
* When he realizes what he has done, he successfully cleans up the crime scene.
* Feels remorse due to his condition being a threat to people to the point where he wants to lock himself up in prison.
* When the police tries to arrest, he overpowers Agent Shroud, uses his vampire powers to dodge bullets, and nearly escapes from the police.
* Deduced that Milo took the cure by noticing he left his cane at his cell. Upon realizing what is going on, he breaks out of his cell and uses eco-location to locate him.
* Engages in a really awesome fight with Milo in the subway and keeps up with him using his powers.
* Kicks a group of money counterfeiters out of their lair by catching the hand of one of them attacking him with a knife and crushing it which scares them into leaving.
* Created a successful anti-body for the vampire curse.
* Defeated Milo by summoning bats which he uses to overpower him and inject him with the anti-body.
* flies off into the night, being a successful karma houdini for his crimes.

## What makes him a Baddie?

* Performed experiments so illegal that he had to perform them over international waters. Seeing the effects of the experiments, it is safe to say they are illegal for good reason.
* Killed a group of mercenaries brutally. While the first half can be justified as self-defense, the latter half was running away terrified from Morbius.
* Cleans up the evidence incriminating him.
* Tries to avoid going to jail for the murder of a woman despite knowing he is a threat, even if he was innocent of that specific murder.
* Kicked a group of money counterfeiters out of their lab by breaking one's hand. While this could be seen as self-defense since he attacked him with a knife, he still continues to break the hand when all of the other members are afraid of him and leave. Doesn't help that the guy holding the knife gets terrified when Morbius makes his vampire face implying that is all he had to do to make the gang leave. He also makes it clear that he doesn't care if they continue their operation elsewhere.
