Editing Challengers of the Unknown (Hybrid 70) (section)

==='''Michael Morbius/Parasite'''===

Michael Morbius was nothing special by the standards of Project Cadmus... just another face in a red jumpsuit, working an internship on his way to a doctorate in biochemistry. Everyday he did all sorts of grunt work that had not been on the job description, and it was not at all uncommon for him to have to dispose of any number of biohazardous materials. He never did figure out just which batch of nastiness caused the change, or where exactly it had come from. All he knew was that one day he came home, popped open his laptop, and suddenly blew out every circuit breaker in the apartment building sucking electricity through the keyboard. Whatever foul chemicals he'd been exposed to had turned him into some kind of Parasite, able to borrow the extraordinary abilities of others, but plagued by a terrible hunger for the very energy of life.
