History

Little is detailed about Morbius' life before the zombie plague arrived on Earth-2149. Unlike his Earth-616 counterpart, this Morbius was no longer a "living vampire", but an undead zombie with the vampiric tendencies he once possessed in life. He was presumed to only feed off of criminals by the time he was merely a vampire and before the arrival of the zombie plague, as referenced by the zombie Spider-Man. Once infected by the Hunger, he tried to bring the infection to Earth-616.

After Morbius was transported to Earth-616, he kidnapped and impersonated his counterpart from this reality, using a latex mask to cover his distinctly zombie features. He planned to infect every member of the Fifty State Initiative with the zombie virus. The uninfected Morbius' captivity was later inadvertently uncovered by an A.R.M.O.R. team member whom the uninfected Morbius tried to warn of an impending attack. The warning came too late as zombie Morbius attacked the team member and infected her, thus creating a violent chain of events after she attacked another team member. Towards the end of the crisis, the real Morbius appeared out of nowhere and grabbed a tree, which he used as a stake and stabbed zombie Morbius from behind and straight into the heart, killing him instantly.

Trivia

• This Morbius referred to himself as a "vambie" (half-vampire, half-zombie).
• Morbius was made into a Funko Vinyl Pop, in the October 2015 Marvel Collectors Corps box, alongside his non-zombie version.
