As darkness descends upon New York City in Marvel Rivals’ Season 1 (dropping Jan. 10, 2025), it evokes memories of a bizarre vampire adventure from Spider-Manâs past. Comic books, movies, and TV shows often reflect beloved and eccentric trends in pop culture. Vampires, being as timeless as they are, have always found a way to creep into the spotlight, whether in the form of Dracula, Nosferatuâs Count Orlok, or Interview with the Vampireâs Lestat.But in the ’90s, things took an odd turn when Spider-Man: The Animated Series extended some of its most popular arcs in an unusual direction. Now a curious footnote in Spider-Manâs multimedia history, the story of his “Vampire Wars” has some fans drawing parallels to Marvel Rivalsâ first season, raising the question whether this strange chapter has been subtly woven into the game’s tangled web of timelines.One of the seriesâ darker arcs, “Neogenic Nightmare,” continued to bring body horror to the Saturday Morning cartoon, with biologist Michael Morbius mutating into a vampire and terrorizing New York. Later, in the “Partners in Danger” arc, Spider-Man joined forces with Blade, Black Cat, and even Morbius to stop Miriam, the “Vampire Queen,” from unleashing a mutant vampire army. While representing some of the seriesâ most memorable and somewhat disturbing plotlines, Morbius also inspired a Spider-Man spinoff few people remember.
