The Amazing Spider-Man 102 : Morbius (Part 2 of 3) The Origin of Morbius & What If Spider-Man Had Kept His Six Arms

Episode 65. James B and Eddie discuss the double sized The Amazing Spider-Man 102 (1:00) It's the backstory and origin of Morbius and they also tackle a "What If" issue that relates directly to ASM 102. Plus a new sponsor that the listeners will enjoy. All in Under 26 Minutes! Why are you reading this, give it a listen!

Having recently been knocked out by Morbius, a groggy Spidey watches as Morbius fights and knocks out the Lizard. He is quick to suck a small amount of the incapacitated Lizard’s blood. Instead of fighting Spidey Morbius decides to fly off. The Lizard awakes and, because of Morbius’ bite, now has the mind of Dr. Connors but remains in physical Lizard form. He transforms further into a half human half lizard body and loses his arm.

Later while Morbius sleeps, we see his backstory in his dreams. He is a Nobel prize winning scientist from Europe with a rare blood disease which is killing him. He charters a boat to test his scientific equipment. Accompanied by his assistant Nikos and loving but unknowing wife Martine, they sail into the ocean where Nikos electro shocks Morbius in an attempt to create blood cells. What will happen?

Finally, after the sponsor (15:50) James B and Eddie discuss the 1989 Comic (18:00) "What If Spider-Man had kept his six arms?"
