It's an interesting take, but I do think struggling with his monstrous nature and craving for blood is kind of integral to his character- otherwise, the uniqueness of being a vampire gives way to being a vampire skin on a regular superhero. Having some degree of control over it isn't a bad idea, since it shows he's made progress, but I'd be careful not to just remove one of the character's central conflicts, since that's part of what makes him interesting.

You make an excellent point, I was more married to his characterisation in Midnight Suns than this aspect of his character and definitely agree it would be a lot more interesting with this struggle built in.
