I am asking about your spiderverse dimension 🎤

yippeeeee okay id better explain what exactly im trying to write here lmao so like. this whole au was originally just an experiment in mapping the spider-person story onto a morbius variant as a joke bc i liked the idea of him being like "i was straight up bitten by a radioactive animal and started doing vigilante crime fighting can you please let me into the multiverse" and miguel going "NO youre literally a villain How did you get this number" but then it kinda spiralled and now theres like themes n shit

so long story short morgan michaels gets bitten by a radioactive vampire bat on a uni trip and wakes up with some weird mutations but doesnt really take much notice, he just goes about his day as normally as he can until he Fucking exsanguinates someone to Death. and takes it Badly. so then while hes trying to cope with that and adjust to the whole "vampire(?) thing" like. finding a non-homicidal way to get blood. he encounters spider-man and goes Hey! You know what would make me feel less shit about that whole murder thing? Doing that!

so he pisses off to try become a superhero and accidentally gets stuck with the name morbius, fucks around w/ doc ock and almost finds out until spidey saves his ass and morbius goes Hey. Im bad at this. Youre good at this. Can i be your sidekick until i figure out what the fuck im doing? and peter goes Hhhhhmmmmm bc He knows morbius is a villain. hes wearing one of them watches hes all caught up on how his canon works. but maybe this one is different..maybe he can fix him.....as in hes literally floating there in front of him asking to be fixed. so he says Yeah okay ill make sure you dont get yourself killed probably

so theyre doing the whole superhero mentor thing for a while, morgan learns and grows amd theres some cool contrasting moments where he handles shit completely differently than spider-man would and changes the trajectory of some established arcs, until eventually hes off doing basic superhero stuff all on his own and goes Hey that guy doesnt have a pulse. Thats kinda weird. so he tracks the guy to this weird secret rave in a factory basement with all these other dead people and at one point they turn on the sprinkler and its full of human blood? which hes so normal about ofc (<- the lying liar) and then this COOL GUY with a COOL JACKET and a COOL SWORD shows up and starts annihilating everyone and morbius goes Whoa cool! and then this guy tries to kill Him and he goes HEY WAIT IM LITERALLY ALIVE and blade goes Thats fucking weird cause youre definitely a vampire so whats your deal. Come with me so i can figure out what your deal is. so then morbius meets blades cool hematologist friend and cool butch biker mom and finds out abt Actual vampires which, it turns out, he definitely isnt hes something else which just seems similar bc [INSERT COMIC-TYPICAL MUTATION BULLSHIT]

they both get tied up in plot stuff and even though it takes a loooong moment for blade to trust him theyre actually a pretty good team, morbius is used to spider-man treating him like a student and, implicitly, a child so its neat that blade treats him like an Equal (albeit an annoying inexperienced equal w/ bad jokes and a worse costume but still) and turns out they actually have a lot in common? and kinda bond really easily? and maybe this whole "edgy-hero-who-kills-things" deal is working wayyyy better for him than the spandexed paragon thing spider-man has going on and that guy is super out of his depth in these circumstances and needs to stop pushing in assuming he knows best just bc hes a """hero""" and actually hes maybe being a total uptight prick about the no murder thing and who died and made him king of new york anyway?? fuck off spider-man i have a cool new friend who Gets Me and will absolutely definitely never judge me for killing someone or succumbing to bloodlust which is definitely totally 100% true and Not a fundamental misinterpretation that will come back to bite me in the ass.

#thanks for the ask!! sorry it took so long to write all this shit out lmao #morgan ''morbius'' michaels the freak that you are #ahau tag

3, 6, 8, and 13 for the ask game? Or any combination thereof? 👀👀

3) Favorite superhero film?

I’m picking top 3 here. I think my favorite is probably into the spider-verse. It’s so well animated, stylistically interesting, and I adore miles morales. I’d been so nervous about this movie, and I had been keeping track of everything since the moment it was announced, but I was terrified the whole time since Sony pictures animation doesn’t have a great track record. The teaser trailer gave me hope, though. I don’t go to the movies that often, but I went to watch it the day it dropped and it honestly exceeded my expectations.

The second film is Venom. The first venom film, the sequel is fun, but there was something so insane about the way the first one came out that it just has a special place in my heart. I love the venom comics, and I was still thoroughly obsessing over Mike Costa’s venom run when this movie was coming out, but I’m gonna be honest, when I saw the trailer I completely disregarded it. It looked over the top edgy in a 90s comic kinda way. I almost never disregard a movie by trailer alone, but they made the movie look like another BvS or Suicide Squad (2016) (derogatory). I genuinely thought it would be like how Morbius turned out. I was so surprised when the reviews dropped and they all said pretty much the same thing— this movie sucks, but it’s sure as fuck fun to watch. I though, hey! That’s my favorite type of movie!! So I gave it a chance, and they were so right. I saw this movie 5 times while it was still in theaters (mostly pirating, but still).

The last movie is The Batman (2022). I actually had a lot of hope for this movie going in, considering how Matt Reeves studied under Jeph Loeb and cited The Long Halloween as a major influence, but I was still a little wary. I really hate the dark knight returns (and frank miller in general), and most Batman movies are to some extent an adaptation of this work. Which sucks. I was really pleasantly surprised by the hopeful turn the movie took, how it denounced miller’s Batman through the use of the Riddler as a parallel. Plus, the cast were all excellent and the visuals were beautiful. I’m looking forward to the sequel and hoping they include robin!

6) Favorite Side Character

I really miss Roxy Leech from Superboy’s solo run. All of kon’s supporting cast disappeared after his solo ended and it sucks. She was like a sister figure to him and she’d bring a lot to comics now. I also love Bernard Dowd. He left such an impression in the few issues he appears in, and now he’s back as Tim’s Boyfriend!! That’s huge! He hasn’t had a chance to shine yet recently, I hope he’s still an absolute bitch. I also miss prudence wood, from Tim’s Red Robin run. She had so much potential, bring her back dc!

(A few months ago I’d have probably had spider-punk on this list, but he’s got a solo now!! Not a side character anymore lol)

8) Favorite team up

Young Justice!!!! YJ 1998 my beloved! What a team! I don’t really care for the animated series, it’s totally unrelated to the comics and I can’t get behind their adaptation of kon. He’s so bland and whiny. YJ 1998 is so funny, the characters are so bizarre and they’re all completely unhinged about each other. Love those guys

13) A villain who genuinely scared you

I don’t know that any particular villain has ever like, really scared me? But I do find something viscerally horrifying about like, all of Al Ewing’s immortal hulk. It’s such a good run. It tackles a lot of heavy themes well. (Shame the artist turned out to be a shitbag, but I refuse to let that ruin the story for me. He didn’t write it, after all.)

I guess I could say the joker here, not because the character himself particularly scares me, but because of what he’s come to mean to incels and those types. It’s dangerous when a character can become a symbol for such hateful groups to rally under.

[ask-lucans-ocs]

whats the worst thing that has happened to your top 5 ocs?

Moose - Losing his dad was legit the worst thing ever. He and his own kids did come close to dying, and his best friend did lose the ability to walk, but watching someone who raised you deteriorate infront of you? Not a great feeling, and Moose never wants to see it again.

Liio - Watching his best friend and crush get killed by the monsters you were trained to fight, and then realising that same best friend is now your cat. The fuck you meant to do? The cat knows too.

Sage - Losing her life long partner, and her foal to the same people. Her medic, Lorenzo, accidentally dealt with shady people for medicine that was hard to get, and forgot a payment, which resulted in the killing of her partner, Safari, and the explosion in Atheset, where she witnessed one of her foals get killed. She retired after that.

Carter - Getting kidnapped by your second in command and tortured for well over a year. He's very lucky to have survived, but now he's not mentally or physically well. He's doing his best, but his crew is mainly ran by his new second in command, Rick.

Morbius - He almost lost entire team to Team Classic. Only he, and both pyros. Depending on the au, he also lost his husband (one of the pyros) to the same team. Joined a new team and realised they were all like his old team.

Terribly Out Of Character Morbius Appearances:

By popular request! WILL include alternate universe non-616 because I dig some of those!

Strange Tales #3 2009

This HAD to be the first thing I brought up. Trying to chomp on people and further going on after this panel to explain that he now believes he’d been given his powers divinely with the purpose to kill. There is NO part of this story that is on character except he actually speaks a little Greek. It’s a shame though because I LOVE the pop art style.

Giant Size Super Heroes Starring Spider-man #01 1974

This one is canon but really was just an excuse by the writers to use Morb and Jameson together. Vampire werewolf combo meal! This is before the late 90′s when suddenly vamps hated werewolves for some BS reason? I blame Underworld... anyways Morb has an evil plot and decides using Man-wolf here. He plays classic mad power character to a T, which would be forgivable if he hadn’t just come out of the Vampire Tales run where he was obviously mentally okay and a good guy.

Spider-Man #13 1991

Okay yes, he gets repentant later in this story arc but I’m calling this out. The story is bad, the art is bad, and Morb has never been this prone to power trips. If anything he seems a little self-degrading at times. Him twisting a whole lot of people to his will and just stupidly thinking they could know the guilty from the innocent? Nah bro. Story could be tweaked to fit but he just doesn’t seem right.

Nightstalkers #8 1993

Hot take here, any 90′s crossover where he’s not being written by the team in his own book (And even half the time then...) he’s OOC terribly. I’m talking Ghost Rider, Nightstalkers, Darkhold, and some of the Midnight Sons Unlimited. 80% is rubbish and it seems like they read a one paragraph bio of him then decided to write it. He’s OOC more than he is IC in these issues and it would take me a month to list them all.

X-Man #24 1997

IT’S THAT TIME AGAIN. Anyone that knows me knows this is my most HATED issue of anything. Wanna see Morb run around acting like a bad Dracula impersonator, written by someone who clearly never even read his bio on Marvel dot com? You must want X-man #24! Once again the art is great! LOVE IT but the writing is so cliche villain that I have no idea why they used Morbius when Marvel legit has a Dracula running around! Maybe that nerd couldn’t be bothered to turn up for such a lackluster script.

Spectacular Spider-man vol. 02 #14 2004

Okay, I may have been too harsh on X-man because after it there’s this one shot story about a paraplegic Spider-fan who sits on rooftops all day watching the city. I guess they needed a villain for it and someone tossed Morb in except he decided to dress like Count Orlock for some reason and try to eat an innocent guy that can’t even move or speak to defend himself. This is just... this is bad. This isn’t canon because I refuse to acknowledge it as canon.. Fuck that.

Legion of Monsters: Morbius 2007

Let’s go right into this. What the hell, Marvel? Just... what. The. Hell? Morb is on point for crashing with the homeless addicts and starving himself but talking to an invisible bat was... something they pulled out of their ass. And turning an OD’d girl? Nah man. He’s smarter than that. Also his ability to truly turn anyone raises a lot of questions as he’s not really a vampire and it’d only really been done once before in canon. I don’t know if this is 616 or not, honest to god it’s a wreck and I’m calling out Greg Land on the cover for tracing other people’s shit. 

Exiles #55 2005

Okay. This is AU so all my complaining about previous entries? Done. I freaking love these issues. I love darkity dark lord evil bat Morbius. It makes my soul giddy. Possibly because the team is thrown into this medieval fantasy D&D universe and that’s where he resides. I love the art, I love the premise. Sue me, I don’t care. He’s terribly OOC and it’s GOOD. Real Morb would have been like the town apothecary... damn that’d be cool too. MAKE IT HAPPEN MARVEL! I’d buy a D&D Marvel AU comic!

And that’s 8 OOC appearances and enough for now. There’s LOADS more I could tack on later so maybe I’ll do a part 2 in the future.
