This section needs a rewrite |
At Michael Morbius' lab, his colleague and fiancée Martine Bancroft derides Morbius for the illegal experiments he is conducting; with piranhaiac vampire bats he had illegally smuggled from the Amazon Rainforest. After Morbius has received the funding to continue his experiments on a cargo ship in international waters, Martine absentmindedly opens his containment field, causing Morbius to escape and massacre the entire crew, draining them of their blood; during the conflict, Martine is rendered comatose after tripping and hitting her head on the ground.
Later, Michael checks in on the still-comatose Martine at their hospital. After she has woken up, Morbius meets with Martine, telling her of Milo's involvement, and asking for her help and for her to stay away from him. Morbius acquires a new lab from some counterfeiters to work from, developing a compound to commit suicide, but finds himself reluctant to.
But unfortunately, Milo eventually makes his way to Martine and mortally wounds her. Hearing her final moments, Morbius makes his way across the city and holds her in his arms as she dies, before feeding on her blood. Michael then mourns both Milo and Martine, before he takes flight with the vampire bat swarm in full sight of the city, embracing his new identity as a vampire.
Unbeknownst to Morbius, Martine is brought back to life by her newly developed vampire powers and physiology.[1]
Personality[]
Martine is a strong willed individual who cares deeply about her patients and her work as a doctor. She has strong romantic feelings for fellow doctor, Michael Morbius, as they are engaged and often worries about him as he repeatedly undertakes dangerous experiments. After Michael became a vampire, Martine found the idea intriguing of becoming a vampire herself, likely due to a craving for the power. When she was at death's door, Martine saw her opportunity to join her fiancée as a vampire and drank his blood, therefore getting what she wanted.
