History

Powers & Abilities

Powers

  • Pseudo-Vampirism: Morbius has been transformed into a being similar to a vampire and, as a result, possesses a number of superhuman abilities similar to those possessed by true vampires. However, Morbius isn't a true vampire as the source of his transformation is scientific, not mystical.
    • Superhuman Strength: Morbius possesses super-human strength (the extent of which depends on the amount of blood he has ingested and the type of blood). At his peak, Morbius possesses sufficient superhuman strength to lift approximately 1,500 lbs.
    • Superhuman Speed: Morbius can run and move at speeds that are beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete.
    • Superhuman Stamina: Morbius' enhanced musculature produces less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the musculature of a normal human. He can physically exert himself at peak capacity for several hours before the build up of fatigue toxins in his blood begins to impair him.
    • Superhuman Agility: Morbius' agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete.
    • Superhuman Reflexes: Morbius' reflexes are similarly enhanced and are superior to those of the finest human athlete.
    • Superhuman Acute Senses:
    • Regenerative Healing Factor:
    • Fangs & Claws:
    • Psionic Gliding:
    • Mesmerism: Like true vampires, Morbius can hypnotize others if they look directly into his eyes long enough. While under his control, Morbius typically has full control over an individual. If an individual has sufficient willpower, they can resist or overcome this power.
    • Vampire Creation:
    • Immunity To Most Vampire Vulnerabilities:

Abilities

  • Biochemistry Expert: Morbius is extremely intelligent, having won the Nobel Prize for biochemistry.
  • Expert Combatant: While he has had no formal training, Morbius' powers make him a formidable combatant against most individuals.
