Main Protagonists
Morbius
Dr. Michael Morbius
"I'm not that kind of vampire."
Species: Human (formerly), Vampire
Citizenship: American
Affiliation(s): Horizon Labs (formerly)
Portrayed By: Jared Leto, Charlie Shotwell (young)
Appearances: Morbius
"To find a cure, we have to push the boundaries, take the risks."
A biochemist who contracted a rare blood disease and became a vampire in an attempt to cure it.
- Adaptational Attractiveness: In the comics, Michael's backstory involved him being unattractive. This isn't case in the movie, where he is played by Jared Leto.
- Adaptational Heroism: In the comics, his transformation into a vampire left Michael prone to moments of madness and paranoia, which made it difficult for him to control his bloodlust. Instead of being a Tragic Villain however, Michael in this version has far more control of himself and awareness, making him far more naturally heroic.
- Adaptational Nationality: Morbius in the comics was born and raised in Greece, and while in the film he did receive medical treatment for his condition there it's implied that it's simply a place where someone with his condition is sent like with Milo. So it seems likely that this version of the character is American.
- Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: With Martine and Emil, and to a lesser extent with Milo who is heavily based on the villain Hunger. In the comics Martine and Emil Nikos were his fiancée and best friend respectively, but here they are his colleague (though they admit their feelings to each other during the film) and mentor/father figure instead. Meanwhile, in the comics Loxias Crown/Hunger was a villain before meeting Morbius and being turned into a vampire, the two never having the relationship Michael and Milo have here.
- Alliterative Name: Michael Morbius.
- Ambiguously Absent Parent: Michael doesn't mention what happened to his parents as a child and seems to have Emil as a Parental Substitute.
- Animal Motifs: Bats. The cure he develops involves testing on bats and he gains the power to control the species—even believing himself to have developed a kinship with them—as well as obtaining their hearing and echolocation. And he creates bat-shaped origami in his spare time.
- Anti-Hero: Even before his transformation, Michael is not above conducting unethical experiments to find a cure for his condition. Nor is he above deleting footage of his massacre of the mercenaries and avoiding the authorities. Still, he is not without conscience and keeps himself from hurting the innocent as a vampire—in spite of his ever growing Horror Hunger.
- Body Horror: His disease makes him unnaturally pale and frail, and the sight of his body suddenly shriveling and rendering him unable to walk or even stand properly is not a pleasant one.
- Broken Ace: Michael is a highly respected scientist in his field, being a Nobel Prize winner and even earning his doctorate at age 19. However, his disease brings him constant pain and despair.
- Bullet Time: During Morbius's first transformation on a boat, gunmen swarm him. One of them fires his gun, leading to the whole scene slowing down. During this, Morbius quickly turns around to see an incoming bullet.
- Cain and Abel: Morbius's surrogate brother Milo is revealed to be the film's Big Bad.
- Child Prodigy: Michael is shown to be a genius since his childhood, catching Emil's attention when he quickly fixed Milo's failing blood pump with a ballpoint pen and being sent to a high-profile school due to his intellect as a result.
- Contrasting Sequel Protagonist: Appearing in the third film of the SSU and being its first new protagonist, while he shares a Horror Hunger with first protagonist Eddie Brock, Morbius differs from him in many ways. Eddie is a healthy reporter and Loser Protagonist who betrayed his fiancée's trust, which led to their relationship ending and his career falling apart, while Morbius is an ill scientist and Broken Ace who had an interest in Martine but never acted on it while trying, at first, to keep her uninvolved in his experiments. Also, unlike the normal human Eddie, who gets his powers from a brain eating alien, Morbius is a vampire and therefore there is no way for him to remove his desire for blood.
- Cruel to Be Kind: Upon grasping the truth of his cure, he desperately refuses to give it to his surrogate brother Milo, even shouting at him to get out of the laboratory. This rubs Milo the wrong way, making him believe Michael is being selfish and leaving him to die so he could save himself. The truth, of course, is that he doesn't want Milo to turn into a vampire like he did.
- Dark Is Not Evil: Michael is associated with bats and vampires, and tends to dress in black, but ultimately has a conscience. He doesn't want to feed on human blood, but his vampirism makes it almost inevitable.
- Daywalking Vampire: Morbius' experiments turn him into an unconventional vampire who is not weak to sunlight.
- Deadpan Snarker: Shares a lot of sharp-tongued remarks in his good-natured banters with his loved ones such as Martine, Milo and Emil, but also displays a dry wit when talking to FBI agents or money counterfeiters he goes up against.Agent Stroud: I mean, I must admit, doc you don't look anything like you do on the news.
Agent Rodriguez: Yeah, you look downright robust.
Michael: Well, I have good days and bad. Pilates helps. - Decomposite Character: All his worst qualities are given to Milo, such as killing Emil and attempting to kill Martine.
- Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: When his disease takes a hold on him, Michael's skin becomes very pale and he ends up looking emaciated. The effect is enhanced by his long black hair.
- Establishing Character Moment: He has two, one as an adult and one as a child.
- In Costa Rica, he tests the compatibility of a whole colony of bats with his blood and slashing his hand and drawing their attention towards him, with some quick words of warning to the crew that brought him there- who quickly fly away terrified of the bats as Michael stands fearless. This shows how he is willing to "push the boundaries" to achieve his objectives.
- As a child, he quickly fixes Milo's failing blood pump with nothing but a ballpoint pen, which catches Emil's attention. This a striking display of Michael's high intellect, which would be a key part of his characterization throughout his teenage and adult years.
- Friend to All Children: He is very warm and friendly towards Anna, a young girl who is a patient at the hospital where he works and quickly works to stabilize her condition once her body temperature spikes and her kidneys are about to stop working.
- Game Face: There are several shots of Morbius's vampire form from the comics, with grey skin, red eyes, a flattened nose, and pointed teeth.
- Guile Hero: Guile Anti-Hero to be more precise, but the way Michael defeats Milo is not through brute force, but by calling on the bats in his lab to distract and hold back Milo so Michael can inject the antibody in him.
- Horror Hunger: Along with curing his disease, Michael becomes stronger than he's ever been and gains a number of abilities... all of which comes at the cost of a monstrous, insatiable thirst for blood.
- Hour of Power: After injecting himself with the cure, Morbius determines that he can initially sustain himself on one bag of artificial blood every six hours, during which time he possesses his enhanced abilities but after which his body regresses to its original state. However, he soon determines that this method is becoming less effective each time he drinks; by the time he is sent to prison, one bag of artificial blood can only sustain him for just over four hours, and he calculates that the artificial blood will stop being effective within a week, forcing him to rely on real blood.
- I Am the Noun: An understated example: When Morbius, still sickly and frail, is asked if he needs a doctor, he responds, "I am a doctor."
- Improbable Age: Michael earned his doctorate at age 19. Even if he had gotten into college at 16 or 17 years old, it would be downright impossible for him to have obtained his doctorate in merely two or three years.
- In a Single Bound: One of the powers he gains from his transformation is the ability to jump great distances with ease. Morbius manages to leap across rooftops with little effort, as well as reach the tops of buildings.
- Long-Haired Pretty Boy: Contrasting his comic counterpart whose unattractiveness was part of his backstory, this version is played by Jared Leto.
- Mook Horror Show: At one point, a group of unlucky thugs think they're hunting Michael through an old ship where he was conducting his experiments in international waters. Michael is all too happy to correct them.
- Our Vampires Are Different: A "Living Vampire", created using unorthodox and possibly supernatural methods. As such, he has all the powers of a vampire to some extent (enhanced abilities, echolocation and a healing ability) but is able to avoid many of the same weaknesses, except for the blood lust.
- Smart People Play Chess: When at the hospital during his childhood, a chess board could be seen in Michael's room, with a game in progress. This quickly establishes him a smart and intelligent individual.
- Super-Senses: He gains echolocation and his hearing massively increases after his transformation, enabling him to detect sounds and voices from kilometers away. Milo even exploits this by forcing Martine to call Michael from a distant rooftop, knowing that he would hear her and come to her rescue.
- Super-Speed: He gains a Bullet Time ability, which he promptly demonstrates in his fight against the mercenaries, dodging their bullets with ease and being generally too fast for his enemies to deal with.
- Super-Strength: His transformation grants him immense, superhuman strength, enabling him to easily break windows and steel doors. Thanks to his increase in muscle mass, he can tear through enemies with little effort.
- Teen Genius: His high intelligence that he displayed since his childhood has also been present in his teenage years. Since he obtained his doctorate at age 19, that would mean he was already in college as a teenager.
- Vegetarian Vampire: Morbius tries to be this using his artificial blood, but he quickly realizes its effectiveness drops with every usage.
- Was Once a Man: Michael Morbius was a man suffering from a rare blood disease and his transformation into a vampire is the result of his attempts to find a cure by any means necessary.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: Michael, in his own words, is willing to "push the boundaries" to find a cure for himself. He ends up conducting illegal experiments, and refuses to give Milo the cure out of fear of having him turn into a vampire like him.
- With Great Power Comes Great Hotness: Upon taking his cure and reverting to his human state after his first transformation as a vampire, Michael becomes temporarily muscular and admires his new shape for a bit in a mirror. A video of him shirtless even catches the attention of Nicque Marina at the Daily Bugle.
- You Killed My Father: Downplayed. Michael does kill Milo after what the latter did to their surrogate father, but he has grown remorseful of being responsible for the death of his surrogate brother.
- You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry!: Says this almost word-for-word while under interrogation, except substituting "angry" with "hungry".
- Zerg Rush: He can command thousands of bats to swarm around his enemies.
Madame Web
Cassandra "Cassie" Webb / Madame Web
"I can see the future."
''"Click here to see her at the end of the movie
Species: Enhanced Human
Citizenship: Peruvian, American
Affiliation(s): Fire Department of New York (formerly)
Portrayed By: Dakota Johnson
Appearances: Madame Web
A paramedic who gains the ability to see the future.
- Abled in the Adaptation: In this version, Cassandra is neither blind or paralysed. The ending of the film however has her be blinded and seemingly paralysed after her battle with Ezekiel, caused by debris from the exploding building.
- Adaptational Angst Upgrade: Her mother died when she was born and Cassie spent her entire life believing that Constance cared more about her work than her, since she went out of her way to look for spiders miles away from any hospital.
- Adaptational Angst Downgrade: On the other hand , Cassie is a case of Abled in the Adaptation and didn't spend her entire life paralysed.
- Adaptational Badass:
- Unlike in the comics where she was an old paralysed and blind psychic, Cassandra is a paramedic and relies on Combat Clairvoyance and Improv Fu to fight Ezekiel. She's left blind and paralyzed by the end.
- Her psychic abilities extends to Astral Projection.
- Adaptational Nationality: While she was raised in America, Cassie was born in Peru. In the comics she was, presumably, born in the US.
- Adaptational Wimp: Her psychic abilities are, at first, more limited as she can only see several minutes into the future and doesn't have much control of it. However this is justified since the film is an origin story for the character and the ending shows that they do improve to see much further into the future.
- Adaptation Dye-Job: Due to her Age Lift, her hair color has gone from gray to black.
- Adaptation Name Change: Subverted, her name is still Cassandra but she seems to have the nickname Cassie. Played straight in regards to her surname, which was her husband's name in the comics while here "Webb" is her maiden name.
- Adaptation Origin Connection: Ezekiel killed her mother and is indirectly the cause of Cassie getting her powers, while in the comics the two have never met. She also becomes a mentor to both Julia, Anya and Mattie years before any of them get powers and states in the ending that she will help them become heroes in the future. She's also indirectly responsible for Spider-Man existing, as she saves the pregnant Mary Parker.
- Adaptational Relationship Overhaul: While she has met Julia, Anya and Mattie in the comics and even mentored them, here she's forced to protect them years before any of them have gained their powers.
- Adaptation Species Change: A mutant in the comics, in this version Cassandra's powers come from a spider bite, though they don't activate until she has a near death experience. This would make her a human mutate by comic terms instead of a mutant.
- Age Lift: Madame Web is traditionally an elderly gray haired woman while in this version she's in her early thirties. Justified as the story is set before Peter Parker is born and Peter doesn't meet her until he's an adult.
- Astral Projection: When her abilities max out at the film's climax she develops this, able to project multiple versions of herself to save the girls.
- Car Fu: She's a big fan of this, flattening Ezekiel with a taxi at the diner and later hitting him again with an ambulance. Considering that his powers makes him far stronger than Cassie, she doesn't have many options.
- Combat Clairvoyance: How she managed to keep ahead of Ezekiel. He's stronger and faster, but her ability to see a few minutes into the future allows her to see what he's going to do and avoid it. The best example is when her visions show her a physical confrontation in the diner will end in him killing them all, so when she snaps back to reality she just runs him over in her taxi and escapes with the girls while he's down.
- Comic-Book Movies Don't Use Codenames: She's never called Madame Web at any point in the comics.
- Composite Character: Visually she more resembles the Julia Carpenter incarnation of Madame Web instead of Cassandra Webb. Since her powers come from a spider bite, instead of being a mutant like in the comics, she's pretty similar to Peter Parker.
- Contrasting Sequel Main Character: Debuting in the fourth film of the SSU, Cassie is the first female protagonist and unlike Eddie Brock or Michael Morbius who were both anti-heroes with a Horror Hunger, Cassie is a more traditionally heroic individual (if slightly antisocial at first) who finds herself with powers she didn't expect and chooses to use them to protect the innocent.
- Dull Surprise: Due to Dakota Johnson's rather, shall we say, 'understated performance.' Somewhat justified as Cassie is an EMT, so she stays focused in high-stress situations.
- Foster Kid: Cassie became this after her mother's death, and it's implied that one of the main reasons why she's so awkward around the idea of families and children, along with her weak social skills.
- Improv Fu: Being unable to take Ezekiel in a straight fight, Cassie has to rely on her environment to get the job done, whether that's running over him with a car or luring him into an exploding fireworks warehouse.
- Red Is Heroic: Is shown to wear a red leather trenchcoat for most of the film. A future vision even has her wearing a red costume with a white spider symbol.
- Socially Awkward Hero: Cassie struggles immensely with talking to others outside of Ben, especially when it comes to anything related to parents or children given her own issues about her mother's death.
- Spanner in the Works: She's the only reason Ezekiel doesn't kill the girls in the train, and he's completely blindsided by how she keeps staying ahead of him. It's not until over halfway through the movie that he even learns who she is.
- You Don't Look Like You: Looks nothing like her comic counterpart and more resembles the Julia Carpenter incarnation of Madame Web.
Kraven the Hunter
Sergei Kravinoff / Kraven the Hunter
"My father puts evil into the world. I take it out."
Species: Enhanced Human
Citizenship: N/A
Affiliation(s): N/A
Portrayed By: Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Levi Miller (young)
Appearances: Kraven the Hunter
"I stared death in the face and for the first time, I saw my true self."
After an ill-fated safari trip, Sergei Kravinoff gained the ability to tap into the collective psyche of the animal kingdom. He would go on to use his new power to hunt down profiteers of injustice.
- Adaptational Attractiveness: In the comics Kraven was a beefy man with rough facial features. Aaron Taylor-Johnson has a leaner build with youthful good looks.
- Adaptation Backstory Change: In the comics Kraven's family fled to the United States during the February Revolution in 1917, being the son of an aristocrat who seemingly treated him well before growing up to became a world famous big game hunter. The 2023 comic The Lost Hunt also fleshed out his backstory to explain that his villainy and madness, as well as decision to become a hunter, was influenced by a failed Wakandan ritual that was supposed to help him confront his personal demons. Here he's got an Age Lift and his father becomes an Abusive Parent, having abandoned him as a teenager when he showed "weakness" by not killing a lion and according to the trailer swearing revenge on his father by hunting him and the people who work for him.
- Adaptational Badass: While some versions give Kraven superhuman powers, he typically relies on chemicals and herbs to enhance his physical abilities to a level where he can fight characters like Spider-Man. In this version his blood mixes with that of a lion which appears to have given him his powers.
- Age Lift: Kraven in the comics was eventually revealed to have been born in the early 20th century, with his life span being extended through chemicals and potions. He appears to be the age he looks in this version.
- Alternate Company Equivalent:
- Kraven was born into wealth, but turned on his own status after a brush with disaster showed him how harsh the world could be. He would then go on to kill various organized criminals, at least one of whom he shot with a crossbow in an office. He's like a cinematic take on Oliver Queen. Which ironic since Oliver Queen was the DC television equivalent to Tony Stark.
- His new backstory shown in the trailer has caused many to compare him to DC's Catman.
- Contrasting Sequel Protagonist: He's the first Villain Protagonist of the SSU, unlike Eddie Brock and Michael Morbius who were antiheroes while Cassie Webb is a more traditional heroic figure.
- Dark and Troubled Past: His mother apparently went mad according to the trailer and his father, who was abusive, left him to die after being attacked by a lion.
- Hell-Bent for Leather: His favoured outfits tend to comprise of cured pelts.
- Villain Protagonist: Kraven is a big game hunter who brutally murders others in a quest for a revenge, with Calypso calling him a lunatic in the trailer which he agrees with.
- You Are What You Hate: His brother accuses him of being just like their father, both of them simply hunting for trophies.

FBI
Simon Stroud
Agent Simon Stroud
Species: Human
Citizenship: American
Affiliation(s): US Army (formerly), FBI
Portrayed By: Tyrese Gibson
Appearances: Morbius
An FBI agent sent to investigate a series of vampiric killings.
- Adaptational Job Change: A CIA operative, NYPD task force officer, and mercenary at different points in the comics. The Stroud of the SSU was instead a member of the US Army before joining the FBI.
- Alliterative Name: Simon Stroud.
- Cyborg: After an injury sustained during his military service, his right arm has been mechanically augmented to function with Morbius's artificial blood. However all scenes with his arm had been cut except for the ending where it can be briefly seen.
- I Owe You My Life: An indirect example, as Stroud tells Morbius that it was his invention of artificial blood which saved his life in Afghanistan. This is likely why he at least tries to talk with Morbius while his partner is slightly more antagonistic.
- The Quiet One: His partner does more of the talking.
- Race Lift: Stroud, a character traditionally depicted in comics as a blond white man, is instead portrayed by the black Tyrese Gibson.
- Seen It All: Neither he or his partner are that surprised to be dealing with vampires, though Rodriguez mentions that something strange happened in San Francisco (referring to the events of either Venom or the sequel) which suggests they are familiar with superhumans.
- Sympathetic Inspector Antagonist: He and Rodriguez are pursuing Morbius only because they (somewhat justifiably) think he is dangerous in his vampiric state and want to bring him in for everyone's safety.
Alberto Rodriguez
Agent Alberto Rodriguez
Species: Human
Citizenship: American
Affiliations: FBI
Portrayed By: Al Madrigal
Appearances: Morbius
Stroud's partner in the FBI.
- Canon Foreigner: In contrast to his partner, he was invented for the movie and is not based on any characters from the comic books.
- Genre Savvy: After learning that all the dead mercenaries on the boat were drained of their blood, he quickly realizes that he's in a vampire story instead of going into denial like most characters in his role.
- Plucky Comic Relief: Does a decent amount of snarking.
- Seen It All: Neither he or his partner are that surprised to be dealing with vampires, though Rodriguez mentions that something strange happened in San Francisco (referring to the events of either Venom or the sequel) which suggests they are familiar with superhumans.
- Sympathetic Inspector Antagonist: As with his partner, he only pursues Morbius to prevent a potentially dangerous man from getting to the general population.
- Wrong Genre Savvy: Brings holy water with him while interrogating Morbius, unaware that he isn't that kind of vampire.
Antagonists
Milo
Lucien / "Milo"
"It's not a curse, it's a gift."
Species: Human (formerly), Vampire
Citizenship: British, American
Affiliation(s): N/A
Portrayed By: Matt Smith, Joseph Esson (young)
Appearances: Morbius
"All our lives we've lived with death hanging over us! Why? Why shouldn't they know what it feels like for a change, Michael?"
Michael Morbius' wealthy best friend and surrogate brother, who desires a cure for the disease they both suffer from at any cost.
- Adaptational Nationality: While Loxias Crown's nationality is unknown, it's presumably American while Milo appears to British. Given that he lives in the US he therefore likely has a duel citizenship.
- Adaptational Nice Guy: Since he's heavily based on Hunger, this version isn't a Hydra agent like in the comics and is treated more sympathetically.
- Adaptation Name Change: Milo is mostly based off of the villain Hunger, aka Loxias Crown. His real name here is the more normal-sounding Lucien, though everyone refers to him as Milo.
- Affectionate Nickname: Michael called Lucien Milo simply to not get attached, mentioning many other Milos who he had been roommates with who have presumably died. However, by the present Lucien has embraced this as his new name, and everyone calls him Milo.
- Alas, Poor Villain: Despite having become a monster, both literally and figuratively, his death scene is portrayed somberly with Michael clearly regretting what needed to be done, because at the end of the day, Milo was still his surrogate brother and him taking the vampirism serum was motivated by a desire to escape his hellish condition.
- Ambiguously Absent Parent: Milo doesn't mention what happened to his parents as a child and seems to have Emil as a Parental Substitute.
- Arbitrarily Large Bank Account: Milo lives in a very nice apartment and has enough wealth to pay for Michael's experiment, but he doesn't seem to have an actual job like Michael as it's implied he commonly spends his time gambling.
- Ax-Crazy: After taking the serum, he quickly embraces his bloodlust and starts slaughtering people as a way of taking out decades of pent-up resentment towards the abled.
- Big Bad: The main villain of Morbius, using his newfound vampiric powers to go on a murderous rampage.
- Big Bad Friend: Never stops thinking of himself as Michael's friend, believing that he's helping his "brother" embrace his new powers and attitude through all the killing. His first onscreen kill is someone badmouthing Morbius, and a particularly heartfelt moment not long after he pleads that he looked up to Morbius his entire life, and won't leave him, no matter what - and this is after his transformation.
- Cain and Abel: Whereas his surrogate brother tries to restrain himself from feasting on the innocent, Milo embraces his vampiric status with murderous glee.
- Canon Foreigner: While based on several characters, Milo has no clear counterpart in the comics.
- Composite Character: Of Loxias Crown/Hunger and Emil Nikos, Nicholas's comic counterpart, since he is Michael's best friend and played a role in turning him into a vampire (like Nikos), but suffers from the same condition as him and becomes his enemy (like Crown). He's also a composite with Morbius himself, gaining all of his worst qualities from when he was introduced, such as killing people like Emil and trying to kill Martine.
- Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: Appearing in the third film of the SSU and the first non-Venom-related villain of the SSU, he contrasts Cletus Kasady and Carnage from the previous film. Cletus was a serial killer who became bonded with an alien symbiote after biting Eddie Brock, with his one redeeming quality being his genuine love for his wife Shriek. Carnage was even bloodthirsty than Kasady, and desired nothing more than to kill Venom so he can do whatever he wanted without anyone to oppose him. Milo, meanwhile, is a wealthy but terminally ill man who simply wanted a cure and embraced his new powers as a vampire. But unlike Carnage, he actually cared about his surrogate brother Michael similar to how Kasady cared about his wife.
- Daywalking Vampire: Like Michael, he isn't affected by sunlight despite being a vampire.
- Drunk on the Dark Side: It soon becomes apparent that Milo enjoys the power he gained as a vampire so much that he has forsaken morality and is having the time of his life using it to murder people.
- Dying as Yourself: After Michael stabs him with the poison syringe, he loses his game face and pleads for his life, and Michael finally calls him by his real name, Lucian.
- Evil Counterpart: To Michael, representing what he would be like if he embraced his new desire for blood.
- Evil Is Hammy: Matt Smith chews the scenery after Milo transforms into a vampire.
- Game Face: Like his friend, Milo's vampiric form sports a pale, gaunt face.
- I Have Your Wife: Milo kidnaps Martine to lure Michael out and confront him. Unfortunately, he is too late to save her, as Milo mortally wounds Martine.
- Living Lie Detector: Like Michael, his senses become enhanced after his transformation into a vampire. He puts this to use when interrogating Martine about Michael's whereabouts. She lies to him, but Milo hears her accelerated heartbeat and sees through it.
- Only One Name: His last name isn't given and he is simply referred to as Milo.
- Super-Speed: He gains a Bullet Time ability, which he promptly demonstrates in his fight against Michael and the police trying to arrest him.
- Super-Strength: Like Michael he gains greatly enhanced strength, which he uses while fighting his best friend.
- Tom the Dark Lord: Inverted as his actual name is Lucien, which is actually a pretty good name for a vampire. However his nickname and what everybody calls him is Milo, which isn't as impressive as his real name.
- The Un-Favourite: Believes himself to be this to his and Michael's surrogate father, Emil Nicholas. Milo lashes out at him at one point in the movie, stating that he showers Michael in praise while ignoring his own qualities. However, Emil points out that he's practically dedicated his entire life to Milo's care unlike with Michael, when Milo is clearly wealthy enough to have others take care of him.
- Unskilled, but Strong: While Michael takes his time learning his abilities, Milo does not and simply flaunts around with his newfound powers. Thus, he doesn't know certain abilities such as flight and communicating with bats. Even when he overpowers Michael, it is mainly because the latter is holding back.
- Used to Be a Sweet Kid: Quickly befriended Michael and genuinely loves him like a brother, but we see that even as a kid he had a dark streak. After Michael's letter to him gets blown out the window and found by some bullies, he knocks one of them unconscious with his crutch, and when Nicholas chases the remaining bullies away (as they kick a prone Milo), he gets up and starts beating the unconscious boy with his fists.
- Villains Want Mercy: As Michael strikes the antibody serum that will kill him, he pleads that Michael can't kill him, stating that Michael gave him his name.
- With Great Power Comes Great Hotness: He seems to believe this. Upon taking the cure and being healed of his disease, Milo gains a boost in confidence, admiring his new physique in a mirror and wearing stylish clothes to pick up women at a club.
Ezekiel Sims
Ezekiel Sims
Species: Enhanced Human
Citizenship: N/A
Affiliation(s): N/A
Portrayed By: Tahar Rahim
Appearances: Madame Web
A mysterious figure who learns that Julia Carpenter, Mattie Franklin and Anya Corazon are destined to become superheroes and seeks to kill them to change that future.
- Adaptational Badass: Given that he's a case of Older Than He Looks, it's possible that his powers gave him a more extended life span and physical health as opposed to the comics where he aged normally.
- Adaptational Villainy: He's actively hunted powerless young women simply because of the heroes they will become in the future, unlike in the comics where he was simply a coward trying to save his own life by manipulating Peter to die in his place.
- Adaptational Wimp: Doesn't have a spider-sense in this version, which is the only reason Cassie is able to take up by surprise with Car Fu.
- Adaptation Dye-Job: Due to his Age Lift, he now has black hair instead of gray.
- Adaptation Origin Connection: Unlike the comics where they never met, here Ezekiel knew Cassandra's mother before she died.
- Age Lift: He's a younger than the comic version, who was in his fifties or sixties while this version is portrayed by an actor in his early forties.
- Bad Boss: He threatens to kill his assistant when she takes too much time locating the young women he is targeting.
- Evil Counterpart: His costume and abilities make him one to Spider-Man, while his ability to see the future and desire to kill young women make him one to Cassandra who has a similar power but uses it to protect the women he is hunting.
- Evil Wears Black: Ezekiel wears a black Spider Suit and a formal black suit as his civilian outfit.
- From Nobody to Nightmare: He claims to have come from nothing but went from a mere False Friend to Constance- and her eventual murderer- to a city-wide threat with access to the NSA' surveillance apparatus. As such, he becomes a dangerous enemy to Cassie and the three girls he's targeting.
- Never Be Hurt Again: He claims to have become from a poor background with a starving family, and seeks the power of the spider to elevate himself and avoid going back to nothing.
- Older Than He Looks: He looks exactly the same in 2003 as he did in 1973, despite presumably being more than 60-70 years old. In the visions however set an unspecified amount of time in the future he has gray hair.
- Poisonous Person: His mainly murders his targets by injecting high amounts of neurotoxin in their veins, being able to control the quantity he administers. He doesn't kill Cassie this way, but causes temporary pain to her hand.
- Prefers Going Barefoot: He doesn't wear shoes for most of his scenes in order to make better use of his wall-crawling abilities.
- Race Lift: White in the comics, played by an actor of Algerian descent.
- Rags to Riches: He claims to have come from less than nothing but is shown as a wealthy man in the present, promising to pay a fortune to his assistant if she locates Julia, Anya and Mattie.
- Rogues' Gallery Transplant: Ezekiel is only a villain of Spider-Man in the comics and has never met Madame Web, Julia Carpenter, Anya Corazon or Mattie Franklin.
- Wall Crawl: He has the ability to crawl along walls and ceilings, and Anya points out how physically impossible such an action would be.
- Wicked Cultured: His introduction in the present has him enjoying himself at the opera, though it's at least partially a cover to lure in Constance and the NSA access he needs.
- Would Hit a Girl: His entire plan hinges on murdering three women before they kill him in the future, and he also killed Constance and threatens to do the same to his female assistant. Though he is willing to murder his way through cops and civilians of both genders, most of his kills in the movie are women.
- Would Hurt a Child: Ezekiel spends the entire movie targeting three teenage girls and attempting to murder them in order to prevent them from killing him in the future.

Portrayed By: Nicque Marina
Appearances: TheDailyBugle.Net
The Daily Bugle's new social correspondent.
- As Herself: Marina is a real-life TikTok star and model.
- Cloudcuckoolander: A subdued example, but she does tend to drift off into unrelated stories when reporting.
- The Cuckoolander Was Right: Downplayed as she is a subdued example of the trope, but she is not wrong with her suspicions about Michael Morbius, and even before his transformation notes that his invention of artificial blood could prove to be a problem in the future.
- Distracted by the Sexy: She can't hide her attraction to a video of a shirtless Michael Morbius after his transformation.
- Kent Brockman News: She isn't that professional when reporting, telling random stories about herself unrelated to the news she's reporting on, and at one point being distracted by a shirtless video of a post-transformation Morbius. However she does seem dedicated to telling the truth since her final video shows her reporting from her closet, apparently against the wishes of the Bugle.
