The Immortal Vampire
"The Immortal Vampire" is an episode from season 2 of the Spider-Man animated series.
Summary
Spider-Man and Blade put aside their differences in an attempt to prevent Morbius from using the Neogenic Recombinator to transform everyone into vampires like himself. They team up with Lt. Terri Lee, a detective who falls for Blade. During one attempt to stop Morbius, he kidnaps Aunt May, causing Spider-Man and Blade to have a brief falling out. They manage to reconcile their alliance after Morbius captures his old girlfriend Felicia Hardy (who is shocked to see Morbius in vampire form close-up), planning to make her the first victim of the Recombinator. However, Felicia manages to convince Morbius that she doesn't want to be immortal, causing Micheal's original personality to re-emerge. Spider-Man and Blade rescue Felicia, but Morbius transforms into a bat-like mutant after taking a blast from the Recombinator aimed at her. As a result, it is impossible to reverse the transformation, and Morbius flees to parts unknown.

Reception
Many fans have commented that when Morbius turns into the human bat by the end of the episode, he kind of looks like the Man-Bat, a villain of Batman.[1] Blade's romance with Terry Lee didn't prove to be considered noticeable among viewers. The episode has been reviewed to be arguably unsuccessful according to the production plan.[2]
