Genius Theory Suggests Garfield's Spider-Man Fixes Morbius's Sinister Six Plot Hole
Warning! Spoilers ahead for Morbius
While Morbius fails to provide any meaningful motivation for Jared Leto's pseudo-vampire to join the Sinister Six, Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man can potentially correct that plot hole. At the moment, it's unknown which version of Spider-Man exists in Sony's Spider-Man Universe — that is the one in which Morbius and Venom both call home. While he could be a brand new Spider-Man, he could also be one that movie audiences have previously seen. Andrew Garfield's Amazing Spider-Man version of the web-slinger seems to be the best option in order to justify Morbius's involvement with the Sinister Six team of villains Sony is beginning to set up.
In Morbius, Michael Morbius is a genius doctor who has dedicated his life to the study of hematology, hoping to discover the cure to the rare blood disease he's lived with his entire life. Resorting to unorthodox methods in a move of desperation, Morbius combines the DNA of vampire bats with his own in the hopes of creating a cure. Testing the dangerous serum on himself, the results are initially positive. However, Morbius quickly realizes that the cure is actually a curse. Forced to consume blood to maintain his newfound health, Morbius constantly runs the risk of becoming a monstrous pseudo-vampire, possessing a variety of superhuman abilities as well. However, Morbius seemingly becomes an anti-hero by the film's end, largely matching his status in the comics where he operates as a dark protagonist.
