A member of the Inheritors, a clan of lifeforce-draining vampires who target those connected to animal totems. Morlun came into Peter's life at a time when he was coming to learn that his powers were not wholly as a result of radiation. Morlun had pursued Ezekiel Sims, an old man with powers very similar to Peter's, for decades, before turning his attention to Spider-Man. With Ezekiel's help, Peter was able to weaken Morlun using the radiation in his blood before [[TheDogBitesBack Morlun's own abused servant murdered him]], but Morlun later returned, beating Peter to the brink of death. When he returned to finish the job and broke Mary Jane's arm when she tried to stop him, Peter underwent a monstrous transformation and killed him. Morlun was later resurrected and sent after the Black Panther, but was sealed away. He has somehow managed to return and developed the ability to cross dimensions, [[ComicBook/SpiderVerse targeting any and every hero and villain connected to the Web of Life, especially the multiple incarnations of Spider-Man]].
* ArchEnemy: To Ezekiel Sims.
* BackFromTheDead: He first dies when Peter tricks him into drinking some of his radiation-tainted blood and then being shot in the back by Dex, then dies a second time when Peter's Inner Spider takes over and eats his face. He was resurrected again to eat the new Black Panther, but wound up being DraggedOffToHell and forced to fight Death's minions for all eternity. It doesn't last.
* BadBoss: Chronically abused his servant Dex. This later bites him in the ass.
* BreakTheHaughty[=/=]VillainousBreakdown: When Spider-Man gets the upper hand against him, Morlun disintegrates into a sobbing and pleading mess, begging for his life while promising that if Spidey let's him go, he will never come anywhere near him ever again.
* CurbStompBattle: Inflicts this on Spider-Man during their fights. Peter later returns the favor with interest.
* DarknessVonGothickname: Adding to his vampire vibe.
* EvilVersusEvil: One of the first things he does after being resurrected by anti-Wakandans is fight and kill Man-Ape.
* EyeScream: Rips out one of Peter's eyes and ''eats'' it.
* FrozenFashionSense: His clothing of choice was last in style in the 18th century.

* UnexplainedRecovery: How he came back from the dead the first time was never revealed. [[spoiler: In ''Spider-Verse'', he comes back ''again'', and it's explained through his brother Karn that his store of stolen life force has to be depleted before he can permanently be killed.]]
* VillainsOutShopping: As Spider-Man and Ezekiel ponder what kind of unspeakable atrocities he could be committing at that very moment, we cut to a fancy boutique.
--> '''Morlun:''' Do you think this make my butt look fat?
** Earlier, he's shown dining with Dex, and goes off on a tangent inspired by the latter's dessert.
--> '''Morlun:''' Do you know why humans are a people of hope? Because you make things like croissants and pastry. Pastry in particular. You make something of astonishing beauty, carefully decorated, fragile, lovely, knowing that the person who receives it will appreciate that beauty for only about two seconds before devouring it. In that, we have something in common. Carefully decorated. Fragile. Lovely. Doomed. Sad, really. But then it's always sad. Always has been, always will be. It's your lot, you know, to be things of beauty, here for a moment, a flicker, and gone. So sad. How was the croissant?

--> '''Spider-Man:''' His blood is an amalgam of every kind of cell: animal, bird, human and insect. Purest forms of [=DNA=] I've ever seen. That explains how he can go after me or anyone else Ezekiel described as a totem. My guess is that the cells break down over time and require periodic recharging from a source life-form in each category. The purer the source, the stronger the charge.

!! Morlun
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/morlun_1770.jpg]]
-> '''Debut:''' ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #471
--> ''"You may get ahead, but eventually I will catch up. Now that I have found you, I will always be able to find you, wherever you may hide. This may take hours or days. The longest was a week. But in time you will tire. And then you will die."''
A member of the Inheritors, a clan of lifeforce-draining vampires who target those connected to animal totems. Morlun came into Peter's life at a time when he was coming to learn that his powers were not wholly as a result of radiation. Morlun had pursued Ezekiel Sims, an old man with powers very similar to Peter's, for decades, before turning his attention to Spider-Man. With Ezekiel's help, Peter was able to weaken Morlun using the radiation in his blood before [[TheDogBitesBack Morlun's own abused servant murdered him]], but Morlun later returned, beating Peter to the brink of death. When he returned to finish the job and broke Mary Jane's arm when she tried to stop him, Peter underwent a monstrous transformation and killed him. Morlun was later resurrected and sent after the Black Panther, but was sealed away. He has somehow managed to return and developed the ability to cross dimensions, [[ComicBook/SpiderVerse targeting any and every hero and villain connected to the Web of Life, especially the multiple incarnations of Spider-Man]].
* ArchEnemy: To Ezekiel Sims.
* BackFromTheDead: He first dies when Peter tricks him into drinking some of his radiation-tainted blood and then being shot in the back by Dex, then dies a second time when Peter's Inner Spider takes over and eats his face. He was resurrected again to eat the new Black Panther, but wound up being DraggedOffToHell and forced to fight Death's minions for all eternity. It doesn't last.
* BadBoss: Chronically abused his servant Dex. This later bites him in the ass.
* BreakTheHaughty[=/=]VillainousBreakdown: When Spider-Man gets the upper hand against him, Morlun disintegrates into a sobbing and pleading mess, begging for his life while promising that if Spidey let's him go, he will never come anywhere near him ever again.
* CurbStompBattle: Inflicts this on Spider-Man during their fights. Peter later returns the favor with interest.
* DarknessVonGothickname: Adding to his vampire vibe.
* EvilVersusEvil: One of the first things he does after being resurrected by anti-Wakandans is fight and kill Man-Ape.
* EyeScream: Rips out one of Peter's eyes and ''eats'' it.
* FrozenFashionSense: His clothing of choice was last in style in the 18th century.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: His eyes glow red or blue.
* HamToHamCombat: Morlun versus the lead demon at the end of the Black Panther arc.
--> '''Demon:''' Mmmmmm! What do we have here? I can hear the screams of ten thousand souls in this meat!
--> '''Morlun:''' I know you, bone-picker. Don't think that Morlun will fall to your wretched hordes.
* IAmAHumanitarian: During one of his rematches against Spider-Man, he ripped one of Peter's eyes out and ate it.
* KickTheDog: He's introduced draining a foreign hero while snarling, "Really, whoever heard of a ''German'' superhero, anyway?"
* ManBitesMan: He feeds primarily through a draining touch, but is not adverse to taking a bite out of his victims, which Peter learned [[EyeScream the hard way]].
* RedBaron: "Devourer of Totems".
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: The second time he was brought back to life, it was to take out ComicBook/BlackPanther.
* SuperStrength: He is strong enough to rip through a net made out of ''adamantium!''
* SuperToughness: He's withstood blows from Spider-Man going all-out and tanked a vibranium-tipped ''nuke!''
* TookALevelInJerkass: Already an asshole, he becomes an even nastier piece of work in Black Panther.
* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: The radiation that Spider-Man infused himself with doesn't agree with Morlun.
--> '''Morlun:''' Get away from me!
* UnexplainedRecovery: How he came back from the dead the first time was never revealed. [[spoiler: In ''Spider-Verse'', he comes back ''again'', and it's explained through his brother Karn that his store of stolen life force has to be depleted before he can permanently be killed.]]
* VillainsOutShopping: As Spider-Man and Ezekiel ponder what kind of unspeakable atrocities he could be committing at that very moment, we cut to a fancy boutique.
--> '''Morlun:''' Do you think this make my butt look fat?
** Earlier, he's shown dining with Dex, and goes off on a tangent inspired by the latter's dessert.
--> '''Morlun:''' Do you know why humans are a people of hope? Because you make things like croissants and pastry. Pastry in particular. You make something of astonishing beauty, carefully decorated, fragile, lovely, knowing that the person who receives it will appreciate that beauty for only about two seconds before devouring it. In that, we have something in common. Carefully decorated. Fragile. Lovely. Doomed. Sad, really. But then it's always sad. Always has been, always will be. It's your lot, you know, to be things of beauty, here for a moment, a flicker, and gone. So sad. How was the croissant?
--> '''Dex:''' Fine.
--> '''Morlun:''' Good.
--> '''Dex:''' [[BreadEggsMilkSquick Kill me.]]
--> '''Morlun:''' Not today.

The youngest brother of the Inheritors. He is traversing the multiverse with the intent of wiping out all Spiders.
