| This literally IS Issue 2: Electric Bugaloo. |
 |
| Now I want Spider-Man to figure out he's delicious by using a machine actually called a frammistat. |
And that means Morbius is stronger than the Lizard (until an author forgets to read this and decides something else). Since the silliness is over, Spider-Man puts down his popcorn and defends the Lizard. Doubting her can win two fights in a row, Morbius decides to bail. After all, he's practically 50% of Vampire tales and that's all the way on the opposite coast. They can't start without him.
Spider-Man tries to distract Morbius with flattery, but Morbius says he's not as dumb as Spider-Man looks. Somehow, despite not being able to couch Morbius and having only kicked him away from the Lizard, Spidey managed to put a tracer on Morbius.
Then the Lizard wakes up because Spider-Man can't do anything on his own in this comic. the Lizard says he may still look like the Lizard, but he's got Doc Connors for his mind. Yeah, he says that once and you trust it always and it's our friends and an innocent vampire who pays for it later.
To prove this (that Spidey is super gullible, as he'll use this trick more than once on him), Connors reverts back to himself partially. Spider-Man figures that if the lizard can lose an arm thanks to whatever the Mcguffin is, Spider-Man can lose his extra arms. That makes no sense even for comic books. Heck, given how you have no idea where that vampire's mouth has been, it could be a lot of factors.

| He's not talking to the reader, he's begging future writers to pay attention to continuity. A futile effort, unfortunately. |
The two decide screw Morbius, we're going to cure Spider-Man.
The Lizards bitches and whine and complains and Spider-Man gets some work done. I think.
The Next Morning Morbius hides in an abandoned cellar to sleep and has nightmares about what little he can remember about killing people. This isn't a Spider-man rogue, this is a schizophrenic in bad need of therapy and a blood bank. Put him and the Hulk together and they'll solve each other's problems and cure every known disease ever, including all the made-up ones in the Marvelverse. his dreams give us a convenient flashback, as well.

| Always playing with radioactive stuff, you Marvel scientists |
 |
| This pretty much sums up the backstory here. Everything else just makes it sadder. |
Technically it works. Man, all he wanted was to be alive so he could make his wife happy and he ended up as a monster literally taken over by a thirst for blood. Geez, someone throw a pie or something.
At least Micheal has an excuse. He actually doesn't have the time to check what all the side effects of this experimental and semi-legal treatment will be, let alone double-check or to see if something REALLY weird hat has never happened before, like becoming a vampire will happen. H might not make it through the night.
Yep. You guessed it. Poor guys ends up attacking his friend who just wanted to help. It's not like becoming a vampire comes with instructions, and if it did, I'm pretty sure it's all just 'be a dick'
He tries to kill himself by drowning, but can't do it. Look, I'm not going to call anyone, ANYONE a coward for opting out of suicide at the last minute. Everyone deserves a chance at life and that's what Morbius is all about: wanting to redeem himself and TO LIVE a life after that.
And after that flashback, it's night again. Some idiot decides to wander into the abandoned cellar Micheal is sleeping in. I'm no genius, but if I were homeless, I'd consider a recently busted-in door something to be cautious about, not an opportunity. At least not until I made very, very sure it was safe inside. Sure, I probably won't be a snack for a vampire, like this guy was, but I wouldn't take my chances on anything.
Meanwhile, Morbius forgets to clean up and people are calling in after noticing Spider-Man is flying around and carrying The Lizard around New York. It's a good thing for all three of them that the news channels don't give a fuck yet.
That's okay, they'll have something to report about soon. Doc Connors has reverted fully back into The Lizard, who prefers to jump to his death than depend on Spider-Man for his safety.
Spider-Man catches him and Doc Connors takes over. Don't worry. This is the last time Spider-Man will care who's driving that body, no matter what it looks like.

| you know what this story needs right now? A segue about how Peter's girlfriend is worried he dumped her. |
 |
| I'm so pointless in this comic! |
But hey, it works instantly to cure the doc, keeps the lizard at bay, and spider-Man actually wants to help Micheal, and Michael just wants to make up for everything and find a way to end the torment without killing himself. Mostly good people all around.
Pulling punches? What the hell is this, then?
Take it easy, Spider-Man. He has hollow bones. Jsut because they heal easily doesn't mena you should be breaking htem left and right.
Michael wakes up from playing possum and takes the vial of...whatever Doc Connors did to the enzyme and injected himself with, and flies off. Why? Because apparently if it can cure one person, it can cure someone else. Vampire, Lizard, more spider-Spider-Man? It can probably make Charles Xavier grow hair, too.
Spider-man chases after Michael and truly sympathizes with the guy. After,, what WOULD it be like being a monster like that? Even in marvel, where the hell would you go to get help? He IS the expert on biochemistry.
Spider-Man snags Micheal with webbing as the vampire flies out over the river. Spider-Man suddenly can't just swing on nothing like he did twenty minutes ago.
Micheal is so adamant about not being caught again, that he pulls Spider-Man along with him. Not only does it drag Spider-Man off the building, but the extra weight makes Michael fly too low. Sucks to be both of them. Michael smacks straight into a bridge and drops Spider-Man into the river.
 |
| That's a lot of words for 'i'm not even going to bother heloping him anymore' Spidey |
Yeah, i'm calling Bullshit. Spider-Man can't leave Morbius alone if the world was in danger.
Well, Micheal's considered gon, Spider-Man manages to grab the vial, and that's a wrap.
A sad, silly, sad, wrap.
Let's see if Spider-Man cna cheer us up, or at last not bore us to dath by surviving the Crime Master.
WHAT THE HELL IS HE SWINGING ON COUNT: 5
BAT CONCUSSIONS: 3
