Manhattan Monster Mash!

I've been playing a ton of the Marvel Heroic RPG lately between KristaCon and MarvelMondays and I still can't seem to get enough. So I decided to put together a little Marvel What If event of my own and run my friends and family through it this weekend to celebrate Halloween weekend! And to ease the pain of not being able to attend Burning Con! It's still a work in progress and I'll be posting the entire event here when I'm finished but in the meantime here is a teaser of the Morbius datafile I've stat'd up. I'm especially proud of the limits, I think they give him that nice vampire flavor and will really help me play him a certain way as The Watcher.

Background
Dying from a rare blood disorder, Nobel Prize-winning biochemist Dr. Michael Morbius began secretly working on a cure. He used fluids extracted from vampire bats to create the serums for his experiments, and when combined with an electrical shock to his system, resulted in a dramatic change to Michael's body, transforming him into a vampire-like creature. Now, driven by an overwhelming thirst for blood and shunning the strength sapping light of day, he rises each night to feed.
