Morbius may have made his debut as a Spider-Man villain but he has a long history of rivalry with Blade. Blade II could have seen them teaming up to take on the Russian vampires together. They, after all, became teammates in Spider-Man: The Animated Series before the first Snipes film was even released. Sadly, the teased version of the Blade sequel never made it to a script stage. Because of the Blade franchise’s success, Marvel dropped the Morbius explanation, removed the concept from continuity, and kept with the idea that Blade always had these powers. This is fairly common as comic book lore often accommodates popular movie and television adaptations. Canon now holds that Eric Cross was born prematurely in a brothel in the Soho neighborhood of London. His mother Tara experienced severe labor complications, and the staff called in a doctor. The attending physician was Deacon Frost, who drank all of Tara’s blood as she was giving birth, passing along his vampire enzymes. This allows both the comic book and film character Blade to be born with the abilities. a b Provencher, Bo (February 27, 2022). "Morbius Finally Reveals a Key Character's Name, Role in the Story".
