History
"Ultimate" Morbius first appeared in Ultimate Spider-Man #95. Unlike the original character from which he was derived, "Ultimate" Morbius is a true vampire, the son of Vlad Dracul II, and brother of Vlad Dracula III himself (who was, in Ultimate marvel continuity, the same as the historic ruler of our world, rather than a vampire), with all of the powers and abilities associated with the usual interpretation of Dracula. This Morbius, however, seems to be heroically struggling against his baser instincts. He meets Spider-Man in a typical misunderstanding, centering around a cabal of vampires attacking Ben Urich. He is really trying to stop Urich from becoming a vampire, which he succeeds in doing despite the conflict. When Spider-Man was bitten by the vampire that targeted Urich, Morbius found that his blood was changed, considered diseased and thus reassured Spider-Man's that he is immune from changing into a vampire. He then tells Spider-Man that if they ever meet again, he'll have to grow up. After saying this Morbius then leaves in a smokey mist as the sun rises.
