- Morbius first appeared in the Spider-Man weekly comics as a foe, but became an ally decades later.
- Because he is half-vampire, it earnt him a place in the Castle of Horror comic by the Portman Distribution. It was short-lived, however, when Marvel stopped the deal because of a complaint from Marvel UK.
