Morbius vs The Lizard. Blood Lust vs Primal Instinct.

Fight takes place in a NYC Sewer.

Both have TP abilities.

Who wins?

StiltmanFTW
Connors.

Morbius jobs too much.

What are Morbius' powers anyway? I never could get a straight answer. He seemed like a peak human blood sucker that can fly slowly.

Lizard should murder him.

StiltmanFTW
Inconsistent...

He's a fake vampire, dependent on the blood or the serum he makes. Superhuman attributes, flight, healing factor, hypnotism. Also has his famous bite. Sounds great, but in practice said stats are not so impressive, flight is limited/not used properly, hf is a moderate one and hypno-trick is barely used (hello, Super Skrull).

He SHOULD be really formidable. Has too many on-panel embarrassments to take him seriously, though. Especially against someone like the Lizard, who made a career of destroying that spiderpussy with his tail, never using lube.

StiltmanFTW
Heh. Who would've thought... Morbius actually did well vs. Lizard:

Of course, he's not gonna replicate that in a featureless environment. Still going with Curt.

That's classic Lizard, didn't the current one get a major upgrade or two?

StiltmanFTW
Classic Lizard was the best.

Current got a TP upgrade, but also started jobbing a bit... of course, not as bad as Morbius laughing out loud

I cant quite remember, but my gut says that Morbius did have some good stories a while ago.

Morb got his own series back in the 90's. It started out REALLY great but went to crap after the 5 issue or so.

Before that he also had his owns stories in Adventures into Fear and some of the black & white mags, some of which were interesting.

I think he actually had another solo ongoing series quite recently, which presumably sank without a trace.

You might find scans from it here; healing from adamantium bullets, perhaps it's that series?

Really good thread, btw.

Sin I AM
I actually like Morbius, Cardiac...all those old spidey characters

StiltmanFTW
Problem with Morbius is, many writers like to turn him into a harmless chihuahua sad

Sin I AM
Meh idgaf about characters losing or gettin beat. That actually makes them more interesting. I care more about the story

Not always... certainly it does not work that way in Morbius' case.

My fav part was when he ate a sandwich he found in the trash.


God that series SUCKED VAMPIRE BALLS COVERED IN LIZARD SPIT!

Morbius 6/10.

StiltmanFTW
Can't agree.

Lizard is three times as strong as Parker (stated by Peter himself), bulletproof and with better feats.

riv6672
Dont care.

Lip service from Peter (ala Superman's vaunted "toughest opponent i ever fought" line), Morbius is faster, and i like him better.

Finally, you've understood what it means to be a Versus Forum poster shocklaugh

Well, seeing as Curt fought evenly with Stegron, it does make sense.

Morbius is faster?

riv6672
Yeah, i learned nothing from all the Superman threads here. Had to figure it out from scratch.

Horrificus
And, as I remember, Morbius had some wins, way back, against some tough opponents,

Spidey has a villain based off a north american fish now?

Yup :

I'd say Lizard is superior to Morbius in every category (strength, speed, durability, stamina, reach) except regeneration.

riv6672
Much as i hate to say it, its been said to me many times here. Stat sheets, lip service, all pretty much meaningless. Stick the lizard on a weight machine, on panel, then we'll talk.

StiltmanFTW
Both are Spidey villains and Lizard has performed significantly better against him, what more do you want?

riv6672
Right now?
A cup of coffee.

StiltmanFTW
Wouldn't mind that either. Already had a double espresso shot, though.

riv6672
Never too much coffee.
