## Biography

### *Morbius*

At a private hospital in Greece, a 10-year-old Michael Morbius welcomes the arrival of his surrogate brother Lucien, who he decides to name "Milo" instead. Both children suffer from the same rare blood disease which prevents their bodies from creating blood. After Michael manages to save Milo's life by fixing his broken blood pump, their surrogate father Dr. Nicholas arranges for Michael to study at a special school for geniuses in America while continuing to care for Milo himself.

Twenty-five years later, Milo is now a billionaire. Eventually, Milo goes in search of Morbius at his lab looking for Martine, unaware of her coma, he is surprised to see Morbius cured of his disease and seeking blood, but is outraged when Morbius refuses to give him the cure. Later, while checking in on the comatose Martine at their hospital, Morbius finds a nurse has been drained of her blood and killed. Believing himself responsible, he attempts to escape the hospital before allowing Stroud and Rodriguez (who had deduced his involvement in the vampire killings from a signed origami bat he had left on the boat) to arrest him when confronted. In prison, Morbius is met by Milo posing as his lawyer, who promises to use his connections to have him freed. After Milo leaves without his cane, Morbius realises he had taken the cure and most likely killed the nurse, and escapes from prison to confront him, hearing him kill a man who mocked Morbius for his original disability. Admitting he killed the nurse, but only due to the same bloodlust that caused Morbius to kill the ship's crew, Milo asks Morbius to join him in embracing their truer selves and live as vampires, before killing a group of police officers attempting to arrest Morbius and leaving.

The next day, Morbius meets with Martine, telling her of Milo's involvement, and asking her to stay away from him.

Elsewhere, Stroud and Rodriguez finds footage of one of Milo's attacks. Recognizing him as someone other than Morbius, and his vampirism to be spreading, they release it to the media. Although virtually unrecognisable, Milo is recognised by Nicholas, who goes to his apartment and pleads with him to stop. Deriding him for always treating Morbius as "daddy's favourite", Milo mortally wounds Nicholas and tells him to call Morbius. As Morbius responds to Nicholas' phone call and goes to his side, seeing him die, Milo makes his way to Martine and mortally wounds her as well. Hearing her final moments, Morbius makes his way across the city and holds her in his arms as she dies, before feeding on her blood. Confronting Milo, Morbius tackles him into the sewers, before summoning an army of thousands of bats from the sewers and setting them upon Milo, keeping him motionless long enough for Morbius to use his compound on him, ending his bloodlust. Tearfully accepting of Morbius for having given him his name, Milo dies in his arms. Mourning Milo and Martine, Morbius takes flight with the vampire bat swarm in full sight of the city, embracing his identity as a vampire.

## Personality

Milo was a rather withdrawn man and bitter about his illness and his poor quality of life, which caused him not to have much of a social life with few friends or close relationships. However, his friendship with Michael was very intense, as the two were surrogate brothers and quickly bonded upon meeting due to his shared illness. Milo cared very much for his brother, and felt he was the only one who could love him. All of Milo's worst traits were amplified due to his vampirism, turning him into a deranged, misanthropic monster who had an insatiable bloodlust and seething envy for his former friend. However, at the same time, he also had a desire to convince him to embrace his darker nature like him and be happy as brothers. Before he died, Milo's original personality returned once Michael extracted the vampirism from him, and he apologized for all the damage he had caused.

## Powers and abilities

* **Pseudo-Vampirism**: After Michael Morbius created a supposed cure for his rare blood disease and used it on himself, upon which he transformed into a Living Vampire, Milo took the serum and now possesses several superhuman powers.

Unlike Morbius, Milo has full control due to having consuming pure blood.
