Other Info
Karen Page was a secretary for Matt Murdock and Foggy Nelson. Matt and Foggy immediately began competing for Karen's attention which caused tension between the two friends until she revealed to them that she was in love with the superhero, Daredevil. (To learn about Daredevil or Foggy Nelson, click on their highlighted names above.)

Later, Karen's father, Doctor Paxton Page, faked his own kidnapping and death so that he can assume the guise as the villain "Death's-Head." Karen then returns to her parents' home to investigate her father’s disappearance (with Daredevil following behind her). Once there, a battle breaks out between Death's Head and Daredevil. In the battle, Death’s Head spills a vat of molten cobalt over Daredevil, but realizes that Karen is endangered. This brings Dr. Page back to his senses, and he pushes Daredevil and Karen to safety. Death's Head appears to die in this act of self-sacrifice, when he is coated in the molten cobalt. (To learn about Death's Head, click on his highlighted name above.)

After the battle with Death’s Head, Daredevil reveals his true identity to Karen. From then on, Karen is constantly in fear for Matt’s safety. Eventually, Karen leaves Matt and moves to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career. Once in LA, she finds work as an actress in a daytime soap opera.

Unfortunately, Karen then becomes addicted to heroin and starts making pornographic movies. Later, in need of a fix, Karen sells Daredevil's secret identity to a drug dealer, who in turn sells it to the Kingpin. Afterward, Karen returns to New York to Matt. He then helps Karen beat her addiction and helps her straighten up her life. She even became an anti-pornography activist. The two eventually resume their relationship. (To learn more about the Kingpin, click on his name above.)

Later, Karen even assists Daredevil and Black Widow each in fighting crime on separate occasions. (To learn about Black Widow, click on her name above. Note: Beware of the form-fitting outfits on Black Widow's bio page.)

Soon afterward, Karen becomes a radio show host under the name “Paige Angel.”

Later, during a battle between Bullseye and Daredevil, Bullseye ends up throwing Daredevil's club at him. However, Karen took the hit trying to protect Matt. Before she died she whispered to Matt, "I'll miss you."

Former biochemist, former hematologist

Citizenship
Greece; criminal record in the U.S.A.

Place of Birth
Unknown

Martine Bancroft (ex-fiancée)

Group Affiliation
Midnight Sons, the Nine, Legion of Monsters

Education
Ph.D in Biochemistry

Height
5'10"

Weight
170 lbs.

Eyes
Red; formerly blue

Hair
Black

Powers
Morbius is a human mutate possessing a variety of powers akin to a supernatural vampire: he maintains super-human strength (the extent of which depends on the amount of blood he has ingested and the type of blood), speed, reflexes, agility, senses, and an accelerated healing factor; he has sharp claws and fangs, and the ability to glide on air currents via his hollow bones.

Abilities
Morbius is one of the world's foremost experts on biochemistry and blood-related diseases.

Other Info
Nobel Prize-winning biochemist Dr. Michael Morbius discovered he was dying of a rare disorder that was dissolving his blood cells. Not wanting to distress his fiancée Martine, Morbius began secretly working on a cure. With the aid of his partner, Emil Nikos, Morbius attempted using distilled fluids from bats to stay his disease. While experimenting with these serums on board his yacht, Morbius had Nikos run an electrical shock through his system. This combination changed Michael's body, transforming him into something resembling a vampire. He was now driven by a hunger for blood; therefore, Morbius slew Nikos, but stopped short of draining his friend's body. Fearful that he would strike at his fiancée Martine next, Morbius tried ending his life; however, he was unsuccessful. (Doctor Morbius in his human form is shown in the third picture posted.)

Later, Morbius' attacks on innocents brought him into conflicts with Spider-Man, the Lizard, and the Human Torch. (Click on the highlighted name above to learn about the different characters.)

Afters sometime, Martine was able to find her fiancé and she convinced Morbius to return to her after he had encountered Jack Russell, the Werewolff. Using the last of his Nobel Prize money, Martine purchased the Mason House, located just outside Boston. Though reputedly haunted, Martine felt that it would afford them privacy while Morbius sought a cure. (To learn about the Werewolf, click on his name above.)

Eventually, CIA agent Simon Stroud (he was seeking a vampire killer in Boston) came to view Morbius as his prime suspect. While Morbius discovered that he had a psychological need to drink blood from living victims, Stroud invaded the Mason House and arrested Martine and had the police question her. During this time apart, Martine was attacked by the true vampire killer and transformed into a pseudo-vampire, much like Morbius. However, she was eventually cured of her condition when Morbius created an antidote that was a derivative of his own blood. Frustrated at both his inability to cure himself and the perpetual danger to Martine, Morbius ended their relationship. (Click on the highlighted name above to learn about Simon Stroud.)

Now on his own again, Morbius "the Living Vampire" began a short-lived alliance with the Ghost Rider, Man-Thing, and Werewolf. However, this "Legion of Monsters" unintentionally slew the benevolent Starseed before going their separate ways. (To learn about the highlighted characters, click on their names above.)

Eventually, Morbius clashed with Spider-Man again atop a Long Island mansion. Morbius was struck by lightning while draining Spider-Man's blood, catalyzing its radioactive elements and reversing much of his vampiric condition. He no longer required the blood of others to survive, but he still retained a physiological need to drink it.

Fleeing to Los Angeles, Morbius found work in a neuroradiology lab at the University of California. While working on a serum to cure himself of his continued craving for blood, Morbius met Jennifer Walters (She-Hulk). Morbius gave Walters his serum, curing her of a degenerative disease and allowing her to control her transformations into the She-Hulk. Walters later served as Morbius' defense attorney during his trial for the murders he'd committed as a pseudo-vampire. The jury, convinced that Morbius had been unable to control his urges, convicted him only of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced him to five years in prison, to be served after completing his cure. After succeeding, Morbius went to prison willingly and was soon paroled for good behavior. (Click on the highlighted name above to learn about the She-Hulk. Note: Beware the very skin-tight outfit on the She Hulk's bio page.)

Unfortunately, the urges returned and Morbius slowly regressed into pseudo-vampirism. Failing to get the help he desired from Doctor Strange, Morbius began feeding on people again. Sickened to discover that the victims upon whom he'd fed were innocents, Morbius once more fled into the night. (To learn about Doctor Strange, click on his name above.)

Later, Morbius was reunited with Martine, who had also decided to help Morbius once more. She had contacted Dr. David Langford, who had created a new serum from Morbius' notes. (Unbeknownst to Martine, Langford was employed by Dr. Paine who wanted to kill Morbius so that he might lay claim to and profit from his research). One of the Lilin named Fang added his own blood to the serum, which ended up altering Morbius on the cellular level. Unfortunately, soon after, Martine was slain by Langford after she discovered his plans. Morbius went berserk and slew Langford in turn. Realizing that he felt no guilt for this murder, Morbius swore that he would only drink the blood of the guilty in the future. (To learn about the characters above, click on their highlighted names. Note: Beware of the revealing outfit worn by one on the Lilin's bio page.)

Morbius later joined the Midnight Sons and fought against Lilith and her Lilin. In the fight, Morbius drained the life out of Fang. After the battle, Morbius asked Nightstalker Frank Drake to use his necrotechnology on him, hoping it would cure his condition, but it failed. Demoralized over this failure, Morbius was easy prey for Lilith's control during the so-called Midnight Massacre. In the aftermath, Morbius was slain by a Darkhold-empowered Blade. However, he was soon resurrected. (Click on the highlighted names above to learn more about the characters and/or team. Note: Beware of the revealing outfit on Lilith's bio page.)

Even though he was now resurrected, Dr. Strange informed him that he was now a soulless being, which brought about further depression. Being tricked by the Dwarf into using a page of the Darkhold, Morbius revived Martine, but found she was now the host for a Lilin named Parasite. Soon after, the dark part of Morbius' soul (which was tainted by Fang's blood) began to emerge, calling itself "Bloodthirst." Bloodthirst attempted to alter Morbius in both body and mind. The Werewolf and the Ghost Rider (Daniel Ketch) both sought to capture him, but in the end it was Morbius himself who drove the demon out. Unfortunately, later, Martine was slain yet again. However, an immortal Blood named Embyrre resurrected her spirit. But, the couple was denied happiness, as Martine was now emotionless and increasingly frustrated with the fact that Morbius would not allow her the peace of death. (To learn about the characters/item/race above, click on their highlighted names.)

After battles with Deathlok, the Wraith, and Bloodthirst (now in his own body), Morbius met the young Lena Ivana. Rescuing her from a life of forced prostitution, the two began a rocky romance. Still distraught over his failed relationship with Martine and his ongoing existence as a living vampire, Morbius killed himself. However, Morbius was revived with a serum by an old friend, Dr. Jacob Weisenthal. (To learn about Deathlok, click on the highlighted name above.)

After this, Morbius began a period of wandering, leaving behind his life as Morgan Michaels. He crossed paths with Blade in New Orleans, during Ulysses Sojourner's plot to unite the East Coast vampires under his rule. Morbius also later fought X-Man and Spider-Man. (Click on the highlighted name above to learn about X-Man.)

Sometime later, Morbius sought out Dr. Andrea Jansen's help in finding a cure, only to discover that she was in league with HYDRA and the villain named Crown. Morbius later seemingly sacrificed himself to destroy Crown, but was actually taken prisoner and experimented upon. After Crown's transformation into the vampiric Hunger, Morbius was freed by Blade and Spider-Man. Nearly mindless with bloodlust, Morbius bit Blade and fled the scene. (To learn about HYDRA, click on their name above.)

Morbius "The Living Vampire" continues to search for a cure, hoping to somehow regain the humanity he lost so long ago. Most recently, Morbius registered according to the Superhuman Registration Act and worked with S.H.I.E.L.D. to set up and capture Blade in Long Beach, California to use against the mutant Wolverine. (To learn about S.H.I.E.L.D. and/or Wolverine, click on the highlighted names above.)

In the bonus features of the Blade DVD, apparently there is an alternate ending where Blade sees a figure on top of a building whose identity is concealed behind a cloth mask. (This can be seen in the second picture posted above.) The film's writer stated that he originally intended Morbius to be the villain in Blade II; however they scratched that idea for something else.

Powers
Dracula possesses far greater powers than most vampires. He has superhuman strength, speed, stamina, agility, and reflexes, and is immune to aging, conventional disease, and most forms of injury. He ignores most assaults and regenerates damaged tissue rapidly; however, he must drink blood regularly to survive, and is vulnerable to silver, garlic, sunlight, a wooden stake through the heart, and religious symbols (whose threat is related to the strength of faith of their wielder, provided said religion existed during his human life) and other magic items, such as the Bloodgem. Certain spells, such as the Montesi Formula, can destroy Dracula; however, in all circumstances of apparent destruction, Dracula has been revived by some means. If Dracula fatally drains a victim, that person will arise in three days as a vampire. Dracula can control others with a glance or by drinking their blood; command animals such as rats, bats, and wolves; command other vampires (with limited exceptions); transform into a bat (normal or human size), wolf, or mist (partially or fully); and summon thunderstorms. Dracula does not cast reflections, and he usually cannot enter a house without being invited. His powers have sometimes been greatly amplified and his weaknesses circumvented by magical sources, such as spells of the Darkholders.

Abilities
Dracula is a skilled combatant and swordsman, specializing in 15th-century warfare and military strategy.

Other Info
Vlad Dracula was born in 1430. In 1444, he accompanied his father and his brothers, Mircea and Radu, to Turkey to discuss peace; however, they were ambushed, and the sons were held prisoner by Sultan Murad II to force Vlad the Elder (their father) to favor Turkey. After five years of torture, Radu had died, and Vlad the Elder and Mircea were killed by Vlad's advisors, led by John Hunyadi, for supporting Turkey. At 18, Vlad escaped and returned home, taking the title of Prince of Wallachia, but he fled after a year, fearing his father's killers. Vlad Dracula later returned in 1451 and threw himself at the mercy of Hunyadi , who trained him in war. Following through with a prearranged marriage, Vlad Dracula wedded Zofia, whom he despised.

After a year, his obligations fulfilled, Vlad expelled Zofia and their infant daughter, Lilith. Again becoming prince of Wallachia, Vlad married his beloved Maria and later had a son with her named Vlad Tepulus. Later, he ordered the impalement of all involved in his father's death, and ordered an assault on Turkey. However, Vlad Dracula was defeated in battle. The warlord Turac had him spared though, hoping to use him to seize control of Transylvania. (To learn about Dracula's daughter, click on her name above. Note: Beware of the revealing outfit on her bio page.)

After this, Dracula was taken to the Gypsy Lianda (secretly a vampire) who used her "healing powers" on him. Dracula revived, but realized his new vampire powers moments too late to save Maria from being murdered by Turac. Soon after, Turac fell before Drucula. Afterward, Dracula gave his son Vlad Tepelus to gypsies to be raised. It was also during this time, Varnae (the original vampire--created in 18,500 B.C.) found Dracula to be a worthy heir. Therefore, Dracula became the "Lord of Vampires" by consuming the blood of Varnae, who then destroyed himself. (To learn about the original vampire click on his name above.)

Dracula then reclaimed his Castle. Later he learned about the Montesi Formula (a spell that would put an end to all vampires) that was contained in a book of dark spells known as the Darkhold. He sent a thief to steal the Darkhold from the Vatican, but the book was stolen. In addition, Dracula transformed several women into his brides (aka Brides of Dracula). After fighting off an assassin in 1471, Dracula renounced his rule, though he remained in his castle for over a century. (To learn about the magical spell, item, and/or group above, click on their highlighted names above.)

In the 16th century, a man named Durenyi stole Dracula's diary, which revealed his weaknesses. Dracula's diary would eventually be read by 19th-century writer Bram Stoker who wrote the book Dracula. Dracula left his Castle near Snagov and moved into one near Burgo Pass.

In the 17th century, Dracula encountered the Blood Countess, Elizabeth Bathory, whose practice of bathing in virgin blood allowed her to resist and nearly entrap Dracula. However, in the end, he slew her. Later, when Dracula was unable to pierce the anti-vampire defenses of a Swiss village, thirsty for blood, Dracula resulted to feeding on a cow named Bessie. (To learn about Hellcow, click on the highlighted name above.)

In the mid-18th century, Dracula fled his Castle due to the combined threats of the Turks and Catherine the Great's Russia and relocated himself in France. In 1775, Dracula even became advisor to King Louis XVI. However, later, Dracula left France, and tried to dominate Transylvanian Baron (Grigori) Russoff, but he was staked and destroyed by Russoff. After Dracula was revived, he retook his Castle and created defenses, such as his Pit of Death. However, later, even the Pit of Death failed to stop Lupescu, who sought vengeance for his vampirized wife Velanna and slaughtered Dracula's Brides.

In the 19th century, Dracula was destroyed by an American Marshal with silver buckshot; however, he was later resurrected. But, when he resurrected, minute silver particles temporarily weakened Dracula, causing him to age rapidly when he went without blood. Dracula was later staked in the heart by Abraham van Helsing. However, in 1898, a vampiric Gypsy woman, Marguerita, freed Dracula by tricking into believing she knew the location of the last living Frankenstein. When the monster removed the stone at the mouth of the cave, Marguerita removed the stake from Dracula's body, reviving him. (To learn about the group and/or character highlighted above, just click on their name.)

In the early 20th century, angered by Dracula's disruption of the natural order, Death took the form of Carlos Muertos, and raised a mob against Dracula in Madrid. The mob staked and buried Dracula. However, before too long, grave-robbers found the body and removed the stake. Later, Dracula vampirized John Falsworth (who would become the Baron Blood). During World War II, Dracula opposed the Nazis as they destroyed his Gypsy servants. Once, he even lent his aid to an invading American unit, Nick Fury's Howling Commandos. (Click on the highlighted names above to learn about the characters and/or team. Note: Beware of the revealing outfits worn by some in the background of the main picture on Nick Fury's bio page.)

A few years later, Dracula's descendant, Frank Drake, joined a band of Vampire-Hunters including Blade and Hannibal King that continually pursued and sometimes even temporarily destroyed Dracula. Later, Dracula created a new Castle Dracula from Castle Dunwick, usurped from Sheila Witter. Later, somehow entering the Vatican, despite great agony, Dracula slew Giuseppe Montesi, but, not before Montesi had sent a copy of the Montesi Formula to Quincy Harker. (To learn about the above highlighted characters, click on their names.)

Later, Dracula infiltrated Anton Lupeski's Church of Satan, posing as the devil and seeking to sire a human son. Lupeski saw through the farce but hoped to control the child, and he presided over Dracula's wedding to Domini and the mystic ceremony through which Dracula fathered Janus. At one point, Lupeski even summoned the Silver Surfer to destroy Dracula. Silver Surfer and Dracula fought to a standstill before Domini convinced the Surfer to leave Dracula be. Lupeski then attempted to kill Dracula, but inadvertently slew Janus instead--Dracula killed Lupseki in return. However, Domini was able to magically revive Janus. Dracula was later skewered by a silver spoke in a battle with Quincy Harker, who also perished, destroying the most recent Castle Dracula in the process. (To learn more about the highlighted characters above, just click on their names.)

After being revived once again, Dracula came across Howard the Duck and bit him (which left a bad taste in his mouth) which sent Howard on a brief bite-frenzy. Dracula failed twice in attempting to make Storm one his vampire brides. Later, Dracula even fought Thor before being utterly destroyed (along with the rest of the vampires on Earth) when Dr. Strange recited the Montesi Formula. However, Strange's cryogenic suspension of his own vampire brother, Victor, years before weakened the mighty spell and it was eventually broken (Click on the highlighted names above to learn about the different characters. Note: Beware of the EXTREMELY revealing outfits on Storm's bio page--block images if possible.)

From within his Transylvanian castle, Dracula prepared himself for the Ritual of Ascendance (which would exponentially amplify the Vampire Lord's power). Weakened during the incubation period, Dracula surrounded himself with armies of vampires from across the world. Succeeding despite a new batch of Vampire-Hunters, Dracula immobilized Blade and completed the Ritual, assuming immense size and power. Then Dracula claimed Vampire-Hunter Divinity Drake as his bride; however, her true identity was revealed: it was Aamshed (the Sumerian sorceress who had created the Ritual millennia ago). Having created a supernatural lodestone to attract the souls of those slain by vampires over the last two thousand years, Aamshed unleashed those souls on Dracula, their purity setting him on fire. And as icing on the cake, Blade then leapt forward, plunging a stake into Dracula's chest. As the vampire lord was consumed by the souls, the residual energy spread throughout the castle and the surrounding countryside, consuming the vampires there as well. (Click on Divinity Drake's highlighted name above to learn more about her. Note: Beware of the bare midriff on Drake's bio page.)

Sometime later, a corrupt division of S.H.I.E.L.D. (heavily infested by vampires) stole Dracula's body and brought him back to life. Dracula then remained low for several years following that. He eventually met with Victor von Doom on Earth's moon where Dracula proposed a non-aggression treaty with Doom, which enabled him to coordinate plans for an attack on England without encroaching upon any of Doom's prospective interests. Using the scientific wizardry at his coven's disposal, he genetically mutated vampire assassins. (To learn about S.H.I.E.L.D. and/or Dr. Doom, click on the highlighted names above.)

Some time later, Dracula attended the gathering of all the vampire sects that happens every century. All the vampire sects had gathered including his two sons, Janus and Xarus. At the beginning of the meeting, both the leaders of the Anchorite and Atlantis sects expressed their concern about the expansion of humankind on their territory. The leader of the Atlantis sect put the blame on the lack of leadership of Dracula. In addition, Xarus defended the Atlantean, saying that he had raised a good point, all while approaching his father's throne. Xarus then said that the expansion of humanity was a problem and that vampire-kind shouldn't run away from their territory. Dracula responded that humanity had their world and that they had their own, and it should stay like that. Xarus then expressed his thought that one day, things would change. Then he brutally staked his father in the heart, all while saying that that day was sooner than Dracula expected. Dracula then pushed away his traitorous son, but was attacked by the leaders of the Nosferatu, Atlantis, and Charniptura sects, who staked him several times despite his incredible strength and resistance. When Dracula finally fell, Xarus decapitated him with a sword, saying that now there was no going back. Afterward, Xarus ordered that the remains of his father be separated. Then Xarus asked from the other leaders to choose between siding with him or being exterminated. Twenty-four hours later, all of Xarus' enemies (with the exception of his brother Janus had been exterminated and he had succeed in becoming the new Lord of Vampires.

Later, Dracula was brought back to life by the X-Men who hoped that he would aid them against Xarus. However, Dracula declined their offer and left. (To learn about the X-Men, click on their name above.)

Powers
Caretaker as one of the Blood, is apparently immune or highly resistant to aging and conventional disease. He possesses some degree of superhuman strength (enhanced human). When needed, he can call on an inner reserve of power, sufficient to physically overpower both Ghost Rider and Vengeance simultaneously. He may only be able to do this do to his connections to the Medallion of Power. In addition, he can extinguish the power of the Medallion within its users, transferring them back to human form instantly.

Abilities
The true extent of his abilities remain a mystery.

Other Info
Caretaker has existed since before Atlantis. He is a member of the supernatural Blood. The Blood appear to be capable of slowing the human aging process and are immune to conventional diseases. As a member of the Blood, Caretaker has superhuman strength and durability. He can also teleport (each member of the Blood appears to have very powerful mystical gifts). The Blood joined together to protect the Earth from supernatural threats. The demon Zarathos and his minions were their greatest threat. Zarathos was attempting to obtain a magical talisman, known as the Medallion of Power. (Click on the highlighted names above to learn about the place/people/item.)

In addition to the Blood, Zarathos was opposed by other mysterious beings known as the Spirits of Vengeance. However, eventually the Spirits of Vengeance had to sacrifice themselves to defeat Zarathos. (They managed to imprison Zarathos' essence within the Medallion of Power; however, in order to do so, the Spirits of Vengeance's had to imprison themselves within the medallion too.) The Caretaker decided that the medallion was to powerful to be possessed by any one person, so he managed to shatter it into four pieces. (The Caretaker during this time is shown in the third picture posted.)

The four pieces of the Medellion of Power were given to two human families, with a lineage of one male and one female in each family inheriting a quarter. Two of these fragments were passed on through generations and unwilling inherited by Michael Badilino and his sister. The other two were intended for Johnny Blaze and his sister, Barbara Ketch. However, they had a brother by the name of Daniel Ketch who received a piece of the Medallion instead of Barbara. The Caretaker assumed the role of protector of these families. (To learn about the highlighted characters above, just click on their names.)

Caretaker took up residence in the Salem Fields Cemetery in Cypress Hills, Brooklyn, New York. Later Caretaker introduced himself to Daniel Ketch and Johnny Blaze. Not long after that, Doctor Strange appeared to warn them of the coming of the demon queen Lilith and her hoard of demons known as the Lilin. (Click on the highlighted names above, to learn about the different characters/group. Note: Beware of the revealing outfit worn by Lilith on her bio page and the Lilin's bio page.)

Later, the Lilin would proof to be the least of Caretaker's problems because a new threat arose when a traitorous angel sought to claim Heaven for himself--Zadkiel. To accomplish his goal, Zadkiel had to enlist earthly subordinates to eliminate any who would threaten his mission. In a bitter act of betrayal, Zadkiel coerced Daniel Ketch to confront and destroy the Caretaker. However, Ketch didn't face the Caretaker alone, he had help: Blackout, Doghead, Death Ninja, and Orb. The Caretaker wasn't about to go down without a fight, but the numbers were against him and eventually he was killed. However, before the Caretaker died, he was able to call upon his granddaughter, Sara, and was able to pass the mantel of Caretaker onto her. (To learn about the many different characters above, just click on their highlighted names. Note: Beware of the revealing outfit on Sara's bio page.)

In the movie Ghost Rider, the Caretaker goes by the name of Carter Slade (a different Marvel character that was originally named Ghost Rider, but later changed to Phantom Rider to make way for the new version). However, the character in the movie is credited as the Caretaker. Once again, Marvel Entertainment has merged two characters into one for the movies.
