When Spidey was mistakenly thought to have kidnapped a science professor in Marvel Team up #4, Charles Xavier mustered his X-Men to intervene. The usual team-up tropes ensue: Heroes battle one another over a misunderstanding. Heroes realise their mistakes. Heroes band together to take down the actual bad guy. Heroes go home. Sounds a bit by the numbers, but at least this team up features a vampire!

Morbius the Living Vampire was a respected scientist who, after creating an experimental cure for a blood disease, turned himself into a vampire, as you do. When the vamp encountered Spider-Man, the wall crawler was suffering from a small thing called, uh, growing four extra arms (don't ask).

Discovering that Morbius' blood could be the cure to his extra appendages, Spidey hunted him down, and, with the help of the X-Men (once all misunderstandings had been smoothed out) defeated the vampire, rescued the professor and cured the web head.

Although he was cured, the thought of an eight limbed Man-Spider in the ranks of the X-Men is an interesting one.
