El primer anfitrión humano del simbionte Venom fue el propio Spider-Man , quien finalmente descubrió su verdadera naturaleza nefasta y se separó de la criatura en The Amazing Spider-Man # 258 (noviembre de 1984) [2] , con una breve reincorporación cinco meses después en Web de Spider-Man # 1. [3] El simbionte se fusionó con otros anfitriones, comenzando con Eddie Brock , su segundo y más infame anfitrión, con quien primero se convirtió en Venom. Originalmente un villano y uno de los archienemigos de Spider-Man , Venom se ha convertido desde entonces en una figura antiheroica , distanciándose lentamente de su objetivo inicial de arruinar la vida de Spider-Man para intentar hacer el bien en su lugar. Después de Brock, siguieron muchos otros anfitriones de Venom; Algunos de los más notables son el villano Mac Gargan , que fue la encarnación principal de Venom de 2005 a 2009, y Flash Thompson , que se convirtió en el superhéroe Agente Venom en 2011.
Un personaje favorito de los fanáticos y una figura conocida en la cultura popular , Venom (principalmente la encarnación de Eddie Brock) ha aparecido en varias adaptaciones de medios de Spider-Man a lo largo de los años, incluidas películas , series de televisión y videojuegos . El personaje fue interpretado por Topher Grace en Spider-Man 3 (2007) y por Tom Hardy en la película Venom (2018) de Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters y su próxima secuela, Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021).
La encarnación de Venom de Eddie Brock se encuentra entre los pícaros más famosos de Spider-Man, y muchos la consideran un oscuro reflejo del héroe. [4] El periodista e historiador de cómics Mike Conroy escribe sobre el personaje: "Lo que comenzó como un disfraz de reemplazo para Spider-Man se convirtió en una de las mayores pesadillas del lanzador de telarañas de Marvel". [5] Venom fue clasificado en el puesto 33 en los 50 mejores personajes de cómics de Empire, [6] y en el puesto 22 en la lista de IGN de los 100 mejores villanos cómicos de todos los tiempos. [7]
Concepción y creación
La idea original de un nuevo disfraz para Spider-Man que luego se convertiría en el personaje de Venom fue concebida por un lector de Marvel Comics de Norridge, Illinois llamado Randy Schueller. [8] En 1982, Jim Shooter , el editor en jefe de Marvel en ese momento, envió a Schueller una carta reconociendo el interés de Marvel en la idea, que terminaron comprándole por 220 dólares. [9] A Shooter se le ocurrió la idea de cambiar a Spider-Man por un disfraz en blanco y negro, posiblemente influenciado por el diseño de vestuario previsto para la nueva Spider-Woman ; el artista Mike Zeck lo diseñó. [10]
El escritor / artista John Byrne dice en su sitio web que concibió un disfraz de material biológico autocurativo cuando era el artista en Iron Fist , para explicar cómo el disfraz de ese personaje se rasgaba constantemente y luego aparentemente se reparaba en el siguiente número. Byrne dice explicando que terminó sin usar la idea en ese título, pero que Roger Stern más tarde le preguntó si podía usar la idea para el disfraz alienígena de Spider-Man. Stern, a su vez, trazó el tema en el que el disfraz apareció por primera vez pero luego dejó el título. Fue el escritor Tom DeFalco y el artista Ron Frenz quienes establecieron que el disfraz era un ser alienígena sensible que era vulnerable a la alta energía sónica durante su carrera en The Amazing Spider-Man que precedió a Michelinie. [11]
El simbionte se presentó por primera vez como el nuevo traje negro de Spider-man en The Amazing Spider-Man # 252 (mayo de 1984) como parte de una historia llamada "¡Regreso a casa!" La historia tiene lugar después del regreso de Spider-Man de los eventos de la miniserie Secret Wars , donde obtiene por primera vez el traje negro. La primera aparición completa de Venom es en The Amazing Spider-Man # 300 (mayo de 1988), después de los lazos de simbionte con Eddie Brock. [12]

La historia de cómo Spider-Man obtiene su nuevo traje negro se cuenta en Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars # 8 (diciembre de 1984), en el que el escritor Jim Shooter y el artista Mike Zeck representaron a los héroes y villanos del Universo Marvel transportados a otro planeta llamado Battleworld por un ser llamado Beyonder . Después de que el disfraz de Spider-Man se arruina por las batallas con los villanos, Thor y Hulk lo dirigen a una habitación en la base de los héroes donde le informan que una máquina puede leer sus pensamientos y fabricar instantáneamente cualquier tipo de ropa. [13] Al elegir una máquina que cree que es la correcta, Spider-Man hace que aparezca una esfera negra ante él, que se extiende por su cuerpo, disolviendo el viejo traje hecho jirones y cubriendo su cuerpo para formar un nuevo traje blanco y negro. Para sorpresa de Spider-Man, el disfraz puede imitar la ropa de calle y proporciona un suministro de telarañas aparentemente inagotable y más fuerte. [14] [15]
Durante su carrera en The Amazing Spider-Man , el escritor Tom DeFalco y el artista Ron Frenz establecieron que el disfraz era un simbionte alienígena sensible que era vulnerable tanto al fuego como a la alta energía sónica. Fue en esa historia que el disfraz envolvería a Peter Parker mientras dormía, y saldría por la noche a luchar contra el crimen, dejando a Parker inexplicablemente exhausto por la mañana. Parker hizo examinar el disfraz por Reed Richards , quien descubrió que estaba vivo, y cuando Parker se dio cuenta de que estaba tratando de unirse permanentemente al cuerpo de Parker, lo rechazó y posteriormente fue contenido por los Cuatro Fantásticos. [2] [16] El simbionte escapó [17] y se unió nuevamente a Parker, quien usó ondas sonoras de la campana de la iglesia de una catedral para repelerlo. [3] Pero el simbionte había desarrollado un vínculo emocional con Peter, por lo que voluntariamente dejó el cuerpo inconsciente de Peter y lo trasladó a un lugar seguro antes de desaparecer.
En Go Down Swinging , cuando Norman Osborn se vinculó al simbionte Carnage, Spider-Man vuelve a unirse al simbionte en un intento de detener a Osborn, que ahora se hace llamar Red Goblin , mientras perdona a Eddie y Venom por los conflictos pasados. Él con el simbionte consiguió un nuevo diseño de vestuario y estaban dominando a Osborn, hasta que Norman hirió mortalmente a Flash Thompson. Esto hizo que Spider-Man y el simbionte se enojaran y finalmente perdieran el control, hasta que Flash los calmó con su último aliento. En la batalla final, Spider-Man le dice al simbionte que lo deje y que él mismo estará bien, mientras que Norman también se separa de Carnage. [18]
Eddie Brock
David Michelinie más tarde escribiría la historia de fondo de Eddie Brock como el nuevo anfitrión del extraterrestre que se convertiría en el villano Venom, usando los eventos de la historia de Peter David de 1985 " Sin Eater " en The Spectacular Spider-Man como base para el origen de Brock. [10] La existencia de Venom se indicó por primera vez en Web of Spider-Man # 18 (septiembre de 1986), cuando empujó a Peter Parker frente a un tren subterráneo sin que el sentido arácnido de Parker lo advirtiera, aunque solo se vio la mano de Brock en el panel. La siguiente indicación de la existencia de Venom fue en Web of Spider-Man # 24 (marzo de 1987), cuando Parker salió por una ventana de un piso alto para cambiarse a Spider-Man, pero encontró un brazo negro que entraba por la ventana y lo agarraba, nuevamente. sin ser advertido por su sentido arácnido. Después de aparecer en la sombra en The Amazing Spider-Man # 298 (marzo de 1988), Venom hizo su cameo en la última página de The Amazing Spider-Man # 299 (abril de 1988), cuando aterrorizó a la esposa de Parker, Mary Jane Watson , y hizo su aparición completa en The Amazing Spider-Man # 300 (mayo de 1988). [19]
Spider-Man se enfrentaría a él en el siguiente número, cuando Brock revela que él era un reportero del Daily Globe que trabajó en el caso Sin-Eater, y que su carrera se arruinó cuando se descubrió que el hombre que Brock anunció como el Sin-Eater. era un confesor compulsivo. Obligado a ganarse la vida escribiendo historias espeluznantes para los tabloides venenosos, Brock culpó a Spider-Man por su situación. Se inició en el culturismo para reducir el estrés. No pudo hacerlo y Brock se hundió en una depresión suicida. Buscando consuelo en la iglesia donde Spider-Man repelió al simbionte, el simbionte, sintiendo el odio de Brock por Spider-Man, se unió al reportero deshonrado. Brock adoptó el nombre de Venom en referencia al material sensacionalista con el que se vio obligado a traficar después de su caída en desgracia. [20] [21]
Con el paso de los años, a medida que el simbionte ganó más inteligencia y se trasladó a huéspedes humanos adicionales, el nombre comenzó a aplicarse tanto al simbionte como a sus anfitriones. Como Venom, Brock lucha contra Spider-Man muchas veces, ganando en varias ocasiones. Venom repetidamente intenta matar a Peter Parker / Spider-Man, tanto cuando este último estaba disfrazado como fuera de él. Por lo tanto, Parker se ve obligado a abandonar su "traje negro", que el simbionte había estado imitando, después de que Venom se enfrenta a la esposa de Parker, Mary Jane . [22]
Venom escapa de la prisión de supervillanos, The Vault , para atormentar a Spider-Man y su familia. [23] [24] El simbionte finalmente se vuelve comatoso después de ser sometido por el virus de la peste de Styx, y Eddie Brock es posteriormente colocado en la prisión de Ryker's Island. [25] Cuando el simbionte se recupera y regresa para liberar a Brock, deja un engendro para vincularse con el compañero de celda psicótico asesino en serie de Brock, Cletus Kasady, quien se convierte en Carnage . [26] Mientras tanto, Venom y Spider-Man luchan en una isla desierta, y Spider-Man deja a Venom allí después de fingir su propia muerte. [27] Poco después, sin embargo, Spider-Man trae a Venom de regreso a la ciudad de Nueva York para detener la matanza de Carnage. [28] Después de ser encarcelado una vez más, Venom se usa para crear cinco nuevos simbiontes, todos emparejados con huéspedes humanos. [29]
Además de ayudar a Eddie Brock a buscar una venganza continua contra Spider-Man, el simbionte también ayuda a Brock en una carrera esporádica como justiciero. Él y el simbionte ocasionalmente comparten el deseo de proteger a personas inocentes de cualquier daño, incluso si eso significa trabajar codo a codo con el odiado Spider-Man. Esto es especialmente cierto cuando Venom combate a la entidad que cree que es su engendro, Carnage. Cuando Spider-Man ayuda a Venom a salvar a la ex esposa de Brock, Anne Weying, los dos forman una tregua temporal, aunque esto se desmorona después del suicidio de Weying. [30] [31]
El simbionte es robado temporalmente por el senador estadounidense Steward Ward, quien espera comprender mejor su propia infección alienígena investigando el simbionte antes de que regrese a Brock. [32] Ahora, sin embargo, domina a su anfitrión, Brock, en lugar de viceversa. [33] Eventualmente, Eddie Brock y el simbionte toman caminos separados mientras el simbionte se cansa de tener un anfitrión enfermo y Eddie rechaza su creciente sed de sangre, lo que lo lleva a vender el simbionte en una subasta de supervillanos.
La criatura que se convertiría en Venom nació en la 998ª generación [34] de una raza de simbiontes extraterrestres , que vivían al poseer los cuerpos de otras formas de vida. Los parásitos dotarían a sus víctimas de capacidades físicas mejoradas, a costa de drenarles fatalmente la adrenalina. [ volumen y número necesarios ] Según la historia de 1995 "El planeta de los simbiontes ", el simbionte Venom, después de separarse de su primer anfitrión, fue considerado loco por su propia raza después de que se descubrió que deseaba comprometerse con su anfitrión en lugar de Úselo. El simbionte fue luego encarcelado en Battleworld para asegurarse de que no contaminara el acervo genético de la especie. [ volumen y problema necesarios ]
El simbionte se une a su nuevo anfitrión, Lee Price, lanzando el volumen 3 de la serie de cómics de Venom . La serie tuvo un total de seis números (noviembre de 2016 - abril de 2017). Eddie Brock puede recuperar el simbionte de Venom al final de la serie, devolviendo el título del cómic de Venom al volumen 1 con el número 150. [35]
Escorpión (Mac Gargan)
El simbionte de Venom se acercó a Mac Gargan , el villano anteriormente conocido como Scorpion , y le ofreció nuevas habilidades como el segundo Venom. [36] Gargan unido con la criatura, que más tarde le daría una ventaja extra como parte de Norman Osborn 's siniestro Doce . [37] Mientras los Vengadores se enfrentaban al resto de los Doce, Spider-Man derrotó rápidamente a Gargan, incluso con estos poderes adicionales, que Spider-Man sugiere que se atribuye al hecho de que Mac Gargan no odia a Spider-Man tanto como Eddie. Brock lo hizo. [38]
Gargan más tarde se convirtió en miembro de un subgrupo de los Thunderbolts , [39] que fue reclutado [40] por los Vengadores para cazar a los miembros de los fugitivos Nuevos Vengadores. Luego se reveló que el gobierno le había equipado con implantes eléctricos para mantener al simbionte bajo control. [41]
Cuando estaba en la persona de Venom, Gargan retuvo muy poco de su personalidad original y fue controlado casi por completo por el simbionte, lo que lo llevó al canibalismo. Cuando el simbionte estaba dormido en su cuerpo, expresaba náuseas y miedo al organismo. [42] Durante una pelea con " Anti-Venom " (Eddie Brock), él y su simbionte fueron separados, y el simbionte Venom fue casi destruido. Sin embargo, todavía existían manchas en su torrente sanguíneo, por lo que Osborn inyectó a Gargan una vacuna para los poderes curativos de Anti-Venom, que restauró el simbionte al hacer que las piezas restantes se expandieran rápidamente. Gargan se pone una armadura de batalla Scorpion sobre el simbionte mientras se cura, lo que hace que se convierta en lo que Spider-Man llama "Ven-orpion", aunque cuando el simbionte está completamente restaurado rompe la armadura. [ volumen y problema necesarios ]
Después de ingerir una sustancia química que le dio Norman Osborn, Venom se transforma en una apariencia más humana similar al Hombre Araña de Traje Negro. Osborn lo presenta como The Amazing Spider-Man, un miembro de los Vengadores Oscuros , mientras revela el equipo. [43] Después del Sitio de Asgard, Gargan y la mayoría de los Vengadores Oscuros fueron detenidos. Mientras estaba retenido en la balsa, el simbionte de Venom fue retirado a la fuerza de él, poniendo fin a su carrera como Venom. [44]

[46] [47] Flash es contratado por el gobierno para ser un agente especial usando el simbionte Venom como parte del Proyecto Rebirth . A Flash solo se le permite usar el traje hasta por 48 horas, o corre el riesgo de una unión permanente con el simbionte. Junto con el extraterrestre, Flash está equipado con un "Multi-Gun" diseñado para cambiarse a cualquier tipo de arma que Flash necesite. El Gobierno también está equipado con un "interruptor automático" diseñado para eliminar a Flash si pierde el control.

Recurre a vincularse con uno de los hombres presentes, un guardabosques del ejército licenciado llamado Lee Price que estaba con Scorpion como parte de la pandilla de Black Cat. El simbionte debilitado le suplica a Price, tratando de convencerlo de que se convierta en un héroe como Thompson. Price lo ignora y lo domina, con la intención de usarlo para beneficio personal como un nuevo Venom totalmente villano. [52]
Lee Price se dirige al escondite de Black Cat, donde Scorpion lo acusa de estropear la venta en el mercado negro al provocar el tiroteo. Después de tener que evitar que el simbionte Venom ataque a Black Cat, Lee Price se despide de la guarida de Black Cat cuando Scorpion sospecha de Lee.

Ahora el simbionte poseído Drax tomó el control de la nave y fue a un planeta formado a partir de simbiontes llamado Klyntar (más tarde se reveló que era la jaula de Knull ) donde el simbionte se purificó y volvió a unirse a Flash. [81]

El reformado Agente Venom y sus aliados proceden a desmantelar las fuerzas de Mercurio, pero el propio Mercurio escapa y jura vengarse tanto del simbionte como de Thompson. [87]
Un ataque de locura temporal que el simbionte de Venom experimenta posteriormente se descubre finalmente que fue causado por su breve fusión con Mercurio, cuya maldad había deshecho la "limpieza" mental que la criatura había sufrido anteriormente. [88]
Mysterio (Quentin Beck)
En la miniserie Symbiote Spider-Man en la que exploró el momento en que Spider-Man todavía estaba unido al simbionte, Mysterio chantajeó a Black Cat para que le robara una pieza del traje de Spider-Man. Cuando hizo que su amigo, Jonathan Ohnn , el científico de Kingpin , examinara la pieza, el simbionte que controlaba el cuerpo de Peter vino a recuperarla, sin embargo, después de chocar con los hombres de Kingpin, no pudo encontrarla y huyó. Kingpin luego hizo atar a Mysterio para interrogarlo, pero la pieza cortada se unió a Mysterio, lo que le permitió dominar a Kingpin y sus hombres. Luego fue tras Spider-Man para robar el traje y usarlo para él. [89]
Poderes y habilidades
Aunque requiere un anfitrión vivo para sobrevivir, se ha demostrado que el simbionte Venom es experto en valerse por sí mismo independientemente de un anfitrión. El simbionte es capaz de cambiar de forma habilidades, incluida la capacidad de formar picos o expandir su tamaño, [90] así como imitar la apariencia de otros humanoides después de haber obtenido un anfitrión. El organismo también puede usar sus habilidades de cambio de forma para ocultarse alterando su coloración o volviéndose completamente invisible. También contiene una pequeña "abertura dimensional", lo que permite a sus anfitriones llevar artículos sin agregar masa al disfraz. El simbionte también exhibe habilidades telepáticas, principalmente cuando necesita comunicarse con su anfitrión. [ cita requerida ]
Debido a su contacto con Spider-Man, el simbionte otorga a todos sus anfitriones posteriores los poderes de ese héroe y no puede ser detectado por su sentido arácnido. Como el estilo de lucha de Spider-Man depende en parte de su sentido arácnido, su efectividad se vio algo obstaculizada cuando luchó contra Eddie Brock. Reteniendo su memoria desde el momento en que se vinculó con Spider-Man, Venom también es capaz de producir una red similar a la propia variedad de Spider-Man creada a partir de sí mismo. [20]
El simbionte mejora enormemente la fuerza física de aquellos con los que se vincula. Sus anfitriones experimentan un tamaño y una musculatura mucho mayores. El simbionte muestra dientes no humanos, que son muy afilados y, por lo general, sobresale una lengua larga de su boca. Venom se describe como físicamente mucho más grande que Spider-Man, además de tener más fuerza bruta.
Venom exhibe algunas inmunidades a los poderes sobrenaturales de otros, como Penance Stare of Ghost Rider o el sentido arácnido extrasensorial de Spider-Man.
Algunas encarnaciones del simbionte Venom han demostrado que puede replicarse a sí mismo. Esta habilidad se muestra en la miniserie de 2005-2006 Spider-Man: Reign , cuando Venom recrea su propio simbionte para combatir su soledad.
El simbionte de Venom es vulnerable al fuego y las ondas sónicas, lo que le causa un gran dolor y agotamiento si se mantiene lo suficientemente expuesto. Puede sentir y rastrear a todos sus simbiontes descendientes excepto Carnage , quien aprendió cómo bloquear esta habilidad poco después de unirse con Cletus Kasady y enfrentarse a Venom / Eddie Brock por primera vez. [28]
Se muestra que el simbionte Venom forma alas de dragón gigantes en forma de red cuando estaba en contacto con Knull .

Fictional character biography
It is revealed that, while still bonded to Eddie Brock, some of the symbiote's genetic material had been taken by Norman Osborn and combined with a clone of May to make a Human/Symbiote hybrid.[110] She was discovered by Normie Osborn, who revealed to Peter Parker that the clone may be the original Mayday Parker, as Norman had written letters hinting to this fact. After a failed attempt to get the answers from Élan DeJunae, Normie was attacked by the hybrid who managed to escape. She then stalks the original May to her school in order to replace her, starting the Clone Saga. She accidentally threw herself down the school stairwell, allowing the familiar May to escape by leaping off the building.[111] May changed into Spider-Girl, but New May on her way to assist the X-People in containing Sara Hingle's powers. The hybrid intercepted May on her way and tried to tackle her. May saved them both from falling to the street, and, after a brief fight May saved her double again and, proving a major difference between the two Mays as Spider-Girl does not kill her enemies, but the hybrid was more ruthless. When arguing about who the real May, Kaine comments "Are you saying clones aren't real?"[112]
After being "absorbed" into the aged Peter Parker, the original Green Goblin—Norman Osborn takes over Peter's mind, but, in an attempt to become invincible, Osborn combines himself with the Hybrid, Spider-Man, and accidentally Spider-Girl, when she dives in to save her father.[113] After Osborn makes Spider-Man view his worst moments, Spider-Girl's memory overrides Osborn's power, and she's able to convince the Hybrid to fight Osborn together, and so force everyone out of Peter's body; destroying Osborn in the process.
After that, May proposed to the hybrid to join the Parker Family as May always wanted to have a sister, despite Peter being against the idea. The hybrid named herself "April Parker" and went on to live with the real Spider-Girl's family (her baby brother, Mary Jane, and Peter) and starts to go school where she befriends May's friends especially Gene Thompson, Flash Thompson's son.[114] She becomes a partner to Spider-Girl and helps her fight crime and even saves Peter from the Goblin Queen with the help of Phil Urich.
Despite trying to a hero, she was more ruthless than May as seen when she killed Hobgoblin,[115] Tombstone[116] and nearly killing Black Tarantula, due for being hired to do so.[117]
In a later timeline, Mayhem feeling jealousy towards May, she tries to make her accept that she was the clone and start fighting, however she accidentally kills the real Spider-Girl. Feeling guilty for what she has done she impersonates May and became a murderous vigilante, eventually killing the hero American Dream. In an attempt to stop her, the military used pieces of the dead Carnage symbiote to create the Bio-Predators. However the Biopreds take over their hosts and start killing and bonding to thousands of humans around the world, decimating the world and its defenders. Mayhem, seeing the error of her ways, with the help of Cassie Lang goes back in time using Doctor Doom's time machine. However, she materialized inside a wall. She implanted her memories into her younger self, before dying and the present April sacrifices herself to save Spider-Girl, ensuring the events that led to the Biopreds' creation never occurred. She's presumed dead, but Peter assures May that clones always come back.[118]
Powers and abilities
Due to being a Symbiote/Human hybrid and clone of Mayday Parker, she has all the powers of her predecessors, Venom and Spider-Girl. However, due to her half-symbiote nature, she is also immune to the symbiotes' classic weaknesses.[119]
Mangaverse
In the Marvel Mangaverse continuity, Venom is a normal man, the son of May and her first husband, Shinji, and a former member of the Spider-Clan. Venom's skin is black due to the poisoned arrows throwed by the Shadow-Clan, which killed his father. His spider symbol is white, and also much larger than Spider-Man's.[120]
Venom is responsible for the murder of most of Spider-Clan and Peter's Uncle Ben, Venom's stepfather in the Mangaverse, at the command of New York's Kingpin of Crime. Peter defeats him and spares his life. Venom later usurps Kingpin for control over New York's ninja criminal gangs.[121]
Separately, the Venom symbiote appears as a black liquid that is released from a cursed amulet, which was given to Peter by Black Cat. The symbiote draws energy from the amulet's wearer, which can be fatal after prolonged exposure. The wearer's strength and agility are increased, and his or her ability to control their own violent urges is reduced. When Peter Parker becomes possessed by the evil amulet, removing it leaves him near death.[122]
Venom captures the amulet and chooses to sacrifice his own life to force it to save Peter, repaying the debt he owes for Peter sparing his life. This act revitalizes Peter, but leaves Venom nothing but a skeleton. The amulet, containing Venom's life force, is used to heal the crippled Kingpin.[volume & issue needed]
In the Legend of the Spider-Clan one-shot story Elemental Evil, Venom inexplicably reappears in the mountain-top home of the Spider-Clan, alive and whole, his skin now a dark blue. He also gained new powers, including a pair of vicious jaws and a long drooling tongue, bringing him closer in appearance to his Earth-616 counterpart. Despite their history, Peter agrees that Venom will teach the ways of the Spider-Clan and the use of his powers to Peter. Venom and the rest of the new Spider-Clan aid in training Peter to become more powerful, tapping into the mystical side of his spider abilities. In the end, Peter discovers that the group is run by Peter's biological mother, who ordered the death of Aunt May to rid him of emotional attachments. As a result, Peter refuses to take his place as leader, rejecting the clan. Venom is awarded with rulership over the Spider-Clan. No reason is given for Venom's resurrection or his new powers, but when asked about it, Venom only said "I was lucky".[volume & issue needed]
During the "Spider-Verse" event, Venom becomes aware about conflict between various Spider-Man and the Inheritors and fearing that the presence of Peter in the temple will attract the conflict to the clan, he tries to stop Peter and willing to kill him, but only to be stopped by the Spider-Army.[123]
Other versions
An alternate version of Venom appears in Spider-Man Family Featuring Spider-Clan #1, where he and Peter's mother Kiri are the leaders of the Spider-Clan, which consist of Sandman/Earth, Jack O'Lantern/Fire, a female Hydro-Man/Water, an old man version of Cyclone/Wind, Green Goblin, Hobgoblin, Kraven, Rhino, Scorpion and Vulture.[124]
Marvel 2099
Kron Stone is the older half-brother of Spider-Man 2099 (Miguel O'Hara), having the same father: Tyler Stone. As a child, Kron was continually abused by the android housekeeper which mistook him for a dog, and as a result he later became a bully, taking enjoyment in other people's pain. The relationship between the two brothers is so conflicted that Miguel tried to kill Kron at one point. In his introduction, Stone ordered Jake Gallows' family to be killed. Gallows found Stone and fatally wounded him with a knife as revenge, before dumping his body into the sewer.[125] As Kron laid dying in the sewer, his body brushed up against a black ball. The ball then bonded to him and formed a new Venom. The symbiote was described as having mutated over the years, and displayed new abilities in this timeline, including acidic blood and saliva.[126] With this new power, Stone sought to emotionally torture Miguel—whom Kron never discovered was his half-brother—by hurting those close to him, going so far as to kill Miguel's former love Dana—who was also Tyler's lover. After a fight between Spider-Man and Venom, the former emerged as the victor, using loud speakers to neutralize Venom, who was subsequently taken to the lab for study. It was revealed that the symbiote bonded with Kron on a molecular level, giving Kron an amorphous physiology that allowed his body to take on the properties of the symbiote itself.[127]
Later, after the symbiote was separated from Kron, it merged with Roman the Sub-Mariner, the son of Namor, who fled to the ocean and is never seen again.[128] It was later shown that part of the symbiote is at the Alchemax lab for studying.[129]
When the series was introduced as a one-shot in 2099, it introduced Alea Bell as the new Venom 2099. When she was a child, her left arm was badly burned in a crash that also resulted in the death of her mother. Raised by her father, Theo, Alea was bullied at school over her scars. She was then selected to undergo an experimental treatment being developed by Alchemax scientist Dr. Russell. She regained consciousness to find that the treatment had worked and her arm was restored. During a confrontation the next day with a girl at school, a black tendril emerged from her hand and sliced through the Alchemax monitoring bracelet. Alea heard a sinister voice in her head, her left arm transforming into a jet-black limb tipped with razor-sharp claws. Returning home, Alea learned that the purported panacea she'd been treated with was a piece of a symbiote called Venom, and that Alchemax intended to turn her into a supersoldier using it. Empathizing with its pain, felt, Alea reluctantly agreed to the symbiote's request to be made whole in exchange for her getting her normal life back. Infiltrating Alchemax, Alea was accosted by a pair of guards and was horrified when the symbiote killed them to protect her. As the symbiote scolded her innocent naivety, Alea protested that she didn't want to be seen as a monster. Arriving at the lab containing the other pieces of the symbiote, Alea shut down the containment grid, but was knocked unconscious by Dr. Russell. The Venom symbiote, reclaiming its disparate pieces, bonded to Alea, transformed her into Venom and had eaten Dr. Russell as revenge for cutting it apart. Disgusted, Alea reiterated that she didn't want to become a monster and asked if they could be a hero instead; the Venom symbiote begrudgingly agreeing to her request. At school the following day, Alea transformed into Venom to terrify her bully. However, the symbiote was abruptly overcome by the will of a dark god. Alarmed, Alea asked the Venom symbiote what had happened and it told her that the god of its species, Knull, was somehow still alive and on Earth.

In this reality, after Reed Richards removed the symbiote from Spider-Man, Johnny Storm briefly bonded with it, believing it to be a technological suit like Spider-Man originally thought. After Johnny flamed on, the symbiote left his body in pain.
Marvel Age
In the Marvel Age mini-series Spider-Man and Power Pack #3–4, a fashion designer down on his luck manages to acquire the Venom symbiote after it is blasted off of Eddie Brock by Spider-Man, and, thinking its morphic qualities are just something built into the suit and not a living biological function, clones it three times as a new women's dress line. At the debut fashion show for the line, Peter Parker is photographing with Mary Jane Watson wearing one of the dresses, unaware of its true nature.[volume & issue needed]
In the audience is the Power Pack in their civilian identities, invited by Peter as a thank you for their help in the previous two issues. When the symbiotes hear Peter's name, their genetic memory recognizes it and they turn Mary Jane and the other three models into She-Venoms, and attack. The Power Pack join Spider-Man in the battle, during which Spider-Man briefly corners the designer and gets the truth out of him about the clones. The symbiote clones are sheared from their unwilling hosts, three by a sonic boom produced by Julie Power/Lightspeed's superhuman speed, the other by an energy burst from Katie Power/Energizer. The battle is then won when Jack Power/Mass Master uses the music booth to blast them all with high audio, crippling them long enough to be captured. During the battle, however, one symbiote clone manages to briefly make contact with Katie Power's alien-born costume, causing it to become "infected" by the Venom symbiote's evil and vengeful desires (the kids' costumes in this continuity are semi-biological themselves, a concept later reinforced during a later mini-series when one is seen to repair damage to itself on its own). This causes Katie's costume to take on a Venom-like appearance, with the only differences being it is obviously smaller and Katie's energy burst symbol takes the place of the spider symbol's main body, the spider legs remaining.[volume & issue needed]
The Kymellian costume-turned-symbiote completely takes control of the little girl at night, using her to team with the Sinister Six to capture Spider-Man, and then turn on the other members of Power Pack, Katie's own siblings, to take revenge on them for their part in the symbiote clones' defeat. In the final battle, Julie Power manages to find and free Spider-Man, and together they manage to get Electro to blast all the villains, including himself, with a large electrical discharge powerful enough to render them all unconscious and again shear the costume-turned-symbiote off of Katie, the discharge purging Katie's costume of the "infection" in the process, restoring it to normal.[volume & issue needed]

He fights the zombie Spider-Man, who quickly kills him, because the Symbiote has started to die, being unable to absorb adrenaline from Eddie Brock's zombified body. He died very early at the hands of the zombie Spider-Man himself before Zombie Spider-Man goes on. Like his Earth 616 counterpart, he has cancer and the Symbiote doesn't want to be with him. Unlike his Earth 616 counterpart, his disease is not cured and he is instead destroyed. Before he died, Brock managed to sputter out that he and the symbiote are dying, to which the zombie Spider-Man states that Venom is breaking his cold, dead heart.[134]

Instead of destroying it, Normie keeps the symbiote and allows it to bond with him, purging the symbiote of its violent and aggressive emotions.[137] When Normie is in control he resembles as Spider-Man's classic black suit with four additional arms resembling Six-armed Spider-Man and briefly calling themselves Dusk, since Venom was the name between Eddie Brock and the symbiote. He then joins Kaine's team of reformed villains. In Spider-Girl #100, Normie transfers the symbiote to a critically injured Spider-Girl so it can heal and save her. The symbiote later sacrifices itself to save Spider-Girl's life by confronting a sonic weapon-armed Hobgoblin.[138] The Venom symbiote removed all of Normie's tattoos and scars from his suicides attempts as it died, as a parting gift. Then Normie confirms that the symbiote is dead.

In this reality, Dr. Elsa Brock created the Venom symbiote from the radioactive spider isotopes developed by S.I.L.K. leader Cindy Moon to cure the Lizard formula as requested by the city's Kingpin, Matt Murdock, to offer Spider-Woman a solution to losing her powers and curing the new Lizard, Harry Osborn. Gwen was forced to inject Harry with one of her spider isotopes, causing the serum inside him to mutate into Venom and attach to Wolverine before bonding to Gwen and forming Gwenom. Though Gwen succumbed to its bloodlust at first, after discovering her father was brutally beaten by the Rhino in prison, she eventually learned to control it. The symbiote in this universe despite being amorphous is actually some spiders working together being a "mutant cousin" of the alien spider that gave Gwen her powers and is not affected by classic symbiote weaknesses like sonic attacks when without a host, the symbiote is vulnerable to sonic when only bonded to a host. Spider-Gwen eventually took full control of the symbiote and turned it into a replica of her classic costume.[149] During Spider-Geddon, the symbiote protected Spider-Gwen from Verna's touch.[150]
- Other versions

Spider-Man: India
In the final issue of the mini-series Spider-Man: India (Earth-50101), Venom appears as an exiled interdimensional demon. It is later explained, that Venom was trapped in an ancient amulet now used by tycoon Nalin Oberoi. Pavitr Prabhakar is briefly possessed by the entity, but is rejected, and the amulet sucks in Oberoi, but in the final page, Venom is the only demon left. There's also a mention of Aadi, who is this universe's Eddie Brock.[volume & issue needed]
Spider-Man: Reign
In Kaare Andrews' Spider-Man: Reign, set 30 years from current comics continuity, Venom has been posing as "Edward Saks", the aide to the Mayor of New York. "Edward" has been manipulating the city ever since Spider-Man's disappearance in preparation for his eventual return; in the process, he had re-enlisted the Sinister Six, replicated his symbiote thousands of times (chalking it up to being "lonely"), and built a security system named "WEBB" which prevents New York citizens from escaping from the city, trapping them while allegedly protecting them from the outside world. Upon meeting him, Venom is quick to berate Spider-Man for abandoning him all those years ago with a genuine sense of bitterness and sorrow, describing himself as a responsibility that Spider-Man neglected, leaving the wallcrawler at a loss for words. Defeated, the Sinister Six, Spidey and Venom have their final battle, in which Sandman gives Spider-Man a detonator to make all the Sinners explode. Spidey presses the button, most likely killing Venom and putting an end to his "Reign" once and for all.[156]
Spider-Man: Life Story
In a continuity where characters naturally aged after Peter Parker became Spider-Man in 1962, Peter still acquired the Venom symbiote during the Secret Wars in the 1980s. Unlike the main continuity, Peter discovered that the black suit was a symbiote before Reed Richards did, but initially decided against getting rid of it due to his aging body. When Kraven tried burying Peter alive, the symbiote helped him escape the grave and nearly caused him to kill Kraven before Mary Jane helped separate it from him. The traumatic incident led Mary Jane to leave Peter, who abandoned the symbiote. It then bonded with Kraven before the hunter could commit suicide.[157]
In 2019, the Venom-possessed Kraven attacks Peter and Miles Morales in Doctor Doom's space station as the two heroes attempt to shut down Doom's technology across the planet. When he attempts to let the symbiote possess Miles, he discovers that Otto Octavius is possessing Miles' body, allowing Peter the chance to attack him with a sonic blast from his suit. When the symbiote separates from him, he is nothing more than a skeleton. As Peter stays behind on the space station to ensure the Doomsday Pulse activates, the symbiote helps him one last time by filling in the giant hole of the collapsing station. Once the pulse activates, the station explodes and kills Peter and the symbiote.[158]

Ultimate Marvel
Publication history
The Ultimate iteration of Venom was created by writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Mark Bagley and was introduced in Ultimate Spider-Man #33, while the Conrad Markus version was introduced in Ultimate Spider-Man Volume 2 #16.1. His appearance was designed by Mark Bagley to be more of a monster than a supervillain, describing him as a "huge cancerous/tumorous creature".[163]
Fictional character biography
The Ultimate Marvel version of Eddie Brock was a writer for the Daily Globe. He was at Justin Hammer's press conference; his face is not shown, only his hands and arms appear.[164] The Ultimate incarnation of Venom is vastly different from the E incarnation: Eddie Brock Jr. is Peter Parker's childhood friend (along with a college student who is a lab assistant for Curtis Connors) and the Venom symbiote is not extraterrestrial but is the second stage of a genetically created "suit" designed by Richard Parker (Peter's father) and Eddie Brock Sr. (Eddie's father) as a cure for severe disease meant to bond to the user and protect them from internal and external harm. The suit is tailored for a specific DNA (Richard's in this case), and the person to whom it belongs can control the suit more easily. If, however, someone uses a suit designed for somebody else, they are constantly damaged by the suit which requires nourishment, gained by feeding on organic flesh, to function. If bonded to an incompatible host the Venom suit begins consuming them almost immediately, forcing them to feed on others to sustain it or die themselves. When taking a host, the organic matter that comprises the suit completely envelops the host, regardless of resistance, temporarily blinding it, before encasing itself in a hard, purple casing, similar to a pupa, as it bonds further with the host. When the host emerges, the suit then shifts its appearance and function to assist its host, such as creating eyes for it to see through, or tries to take it over, inducing a homicidal rage and attempting to feed itself if bonded with an incompatible host. When bonded with a host and forcibly removed, the Venom suit leaves trace amounts of itself in their bloodstream, which attracts other samples of Venom to itself, and can overload Peter's spider-sense. In the video game Ultimate Spider-Man, absorbing the trace amounts in Peter's blood allowed Eddie to take complete control of the suit, gaining a greater ability to talk and a spider symbol on his chest.
Venom's only known weakness is electricity, and larger amounts of the suit will need more electricity to kill, as varying amounts of the suit will be stunned or vaporized by electric shocks. This was first seen in Ultimate Spider-Man #38, when an electric wire got tangled around Venom's foot. An electrocution from live power-lines vaporised the smaller amount on Peter, while a similar amount disabled Eddie. Note in the video game Ultimate Spider-Man, when Electro electrocutes Venom during a cutscene, the suit is not affected by the shock like the live power-line did in the "Venom" arc. The suit can take the Shocker's vibro-shocks, and can protect its host from a bullet, who feels nothing more than a relaxing vibration.[165]
The Venom suit was introduced when Peter Parker reunited with his childhood friend Eddie Brock Jr. to continue their fathers' research into a protoplasmic cure for cancer. Eddie Sr. had kept the suit in the lab for his son as his legacy. After finding that Bolivar Trask had tried to weaponize his father's research, Peter attempted to steal a sample to conduct his own research on, but spilled it by accident.[166] The original Spider-Man (Peter Parker) was able to control the suit to a greater extent than anyone because of his powers and because the suit was designed for his father. Feeding off Spider-Man's own thoughts, the suit enhanced his strength, generated its own webbing, and made him completely bulletproof. But when Spider-Man was chasing down an armed robber, the suit attempted to take over him, growing a fanged maw. After fighting for control, Spider-Man electrocuted the suit before returning to destroy the sample. Enraged, Eddie ignored Peter's warnings and used a second sample of the Venom suit on himself. Eddie, wearing the Venom suit, initially resembled a bulkier version of Spider-Man but the suit grew a fanged mouth, claws, tentacles and spinal ridges. Eddie hunted down Peter, intending to force him to be absorbed in the suit but was electrocuted by downed power lines and retreated.[167] Eddie was then captured by Silver Sable, who was hired by Bolivar since the suit technically belonged to him and ordered Adrian Toomes to conduct his experiments on the suit in an attempt to remove the suit from Eddie. Then Beetle tried to capture Venom, but Venom escaped and was confronted by Spider-Man. During a battle the suit eventually separated itself from Eddie and forcibly bonded itself with Peter, turning him into Venom. The Ultimates arrived and were able to separate Peter from the suit. Eddie later approached Peter and demanded that he retrieve the suit for him but was rebuffed. During a confrontation between Peter, Eddie and Gwen Stacy, Gwen transformed into Carnage. Contact with Carnage caused trace amounts of the suit within Eddie's body to multiply, transforming him into Venom, at which point the two symbiotes began to fight. After a brief battle the Venom symbiote absorbed all traces of the Carnage symbiote, leaving Gwen an ordinary human, and causing Venom to change into a new form even larger than before, with small glowing red eyes. Venom retreated from battle, and was later captured by the Beetle and taken to Latveria.[168]
Venom appeared with his trademark white spider symbol in Ultimates 3.[169] He attacks the Ultimates' mansion, demanding to find the woman. The Ultimates fight him until Thor strikes him with lightning, turning him into a puddle of organic matter. He is revealed to be an android created by Ultron as a pawn in a master plan.[170]
Conrad Marcus was an employee at Oscorp that helped create the spider behind Miles Morales's powers.[171] An employee of the Roxxon Corporation, Marcus willingly becomes the Venom symbiote's new host and was a more larger Venom than the Eddie Brock's version. When investigative reporter Betty Brant incorrectly assumes that the new Spider-Man (Miles Morales) is Jefferson Davis, Venom kills Betty.[172] Afterwards, Venom destroys Oscorp's abandoned building and later appears at Miles's apartment due to his believing Jefferson to be the new Spider-Man. During the ensuing battle between Venom and Spider-Man, Jefferson is injured and taken to a hospital. Venom appears there, leading to another battle with Spider-Man and the police that accidentally kills both Rio Morales and Marcus.[173]
Venomverse
In Venomverse, various versions of the character are featured as they are recruited to fight off an army of Poisons:
Venom-X23
A version of X23 became bonded to the Venom symbiote while she was trying to escape the facility before they were approached by a Venomized Captain America to join the Venom army.[174]
Venomized Old Man Logan
A version of Old Man Logan was captured by Angel, Spider-Girl (Ashley Barton), and Hulk Jr before being eaten by a symbiote infected Devil Dinosaur. However, the symbiote bonded to Logan and helped him kill his attackers.[175] During the climax of the event, he's presumed dead.
Venomized Deadpool
Deadpool from another universe investigated a facility where illegal experiments were being performed with parasitic worms and bonded to the symbiote to expel the worms inside him. During the events of Venomverse, he was willingly consumed by a Poison so he could act as a double-agent for the Venom army. Following the Poisons' defeat, Venomized Deadpool is presumed dead.[176]
Venomized Gwenpool
In another universe, Gwenpool stole the symbiote from an unknown place and mistakenly wrote Daredevil's secret identity on a piece of paper which her boss acquired. She tries to get it back alongside Daredevil, but discovers that her boss is part of a ninja clan called "Hand" and kills him. During Venomverse, she was consumed by a Poison and killed by Poison Deadpool.[177]
Host Rider
In an alternate universe, Venom was bonded to Robbie Reyes and assumed control over the body alongside the spirit of Eli Morrow. During Venomverse, he was consumed by the Poisons and killed by Carnage.[178]

He tried to calm both 616 Eddie and an alternate Spider-Man (from a universe where he didn't remove the symbiote), but they are attacked by the Poisons; during which Agent Venom is killed by a Poison Hulk.[181]
Spider-Man
An alternate version of Spider-Man who reunited with the symbiote after it left Brock was recruited to fight the Poisons. However, he was tricked by a Poison into thinking it was Aunt May and consumed by it; becoming an enemy to Venom before being blown up with the other Poisons Venom-Rocket's bomb.[181]
Venomized Doctor Strange
A Venomized version of Doctor Strange from Earth-TRN644 recruited Venoms from across the multiverse to help him stop the Poisons after they eradicated his Earth and attempted to destroy more. After he was captured by the Poisons, he realized too late that the Poisons feed on Venom symbiotes and he should not have brought the Venoms together. In the climax of the event, he sent all of the surviving Venoms back to their home universes while Venomized Rocket's bomb exploded and took out the Poisons. Venom-Strange's fate is left unknown.[181]
Venomized Captain America
A Venomized version of Captain America makes an appearance recruiting different versions of Venoms from across the multiverse. He was captured by the Poisons in an attempt to convince him join them willingly. When he refused, they consumed him to make him join them. He was later killed by Poison Deadpool.[174]
Black Panther
In the alternate universe of Earth-TRN650, the Venom symbiote was captured by Rhino, who was in Wakanda at the time, and fought Black Panther for it. During the battle, a wheelchair-bound Nigerian girl named Ngozi became bonded to the symbiote and defeated Rhino after the villain killed T'Challa. As a result, Ngozi and her symbiote took up the mantle of Black Panther.[182][183]
Venom-Punisher
In the alternate universe of Earth-TRN651, Venom agrees to help the Punisher kill the Kingpin in exchange for the latter helping him kill Spider-Man. After killing the Kingpin, the symbiote possessed Punisher and nearly killed Spider-Man until Venom-Strange recruited him to help fight the Poisons. During the battle, he was consumed by the Poisons and killed by Anti-Venom while invading Earth-616.[182][184]
What If...
...The alien costume had possessed Spider-Man?
In this one-shot, after obtaining the symbiote costume, Spider-Man waits too long before visiting Mr. Fantastic who would free him from the symbiote's control. The suit takes control of Spider-Man and as it constantly feeds on him, Spider-Man ages at an accelerated rate. Within days, Spider-Man dies of old age. Desperate to survive, the symbiote bonds with a weakened Hulk. Thor confronts Venom-Hulk. The costume explains that it is sorry for Spider-Man's death, but is draining the gamma radiation from Bruce Banner as repentance. Thor in disbelief defeats him, leading the symbiote to take over Thor. Banner however is shown cured of being The Hulk. The heroes employ Black Bolt's incredibly powerful voice to create enough sonic damage to critically injure the symbiote.
Thor is freed, and the heroes prepare to transport the alien to another dimension. Black Cat takes matters into her own hands and kills the alien because of anger at the death of Spider-Man.[185]
...Venom had possessed The Punisher?
In this one-shot issue, after the symbiote leaves Spider-Man, it joins with the Punisher instead of Eddie Brock. Castle uses the symbiote's abilities to further his war on crime; he used the suit's shape-shifting nature to create glider-wings and used its webbing as bullets.
The symbiote causes the Punisher's war to become more brutal and unrestrained than ever before as he set about confronting and killing many super-criminals. The symbiote eventually influences him to confront and beat Spider-Man, but before it can kill the Web Slinger, Castle's soldierly discipline wins out. With his new powers, Punisher takes out Tombstone and even the Kingpin. At the climax of a confrontation with Spider-Man, Daredevil and Moon Knight, from which the Punisher emerges victorious, a blast from Spider-Man's borrowed sonic blaster allows Punisher to overcome and tame the symbiote by convincing it that his war on crime means more to him than anything, even his own life, and would sooner commit suicide and kill them both if he did not have complete control over it.
The symbiote then recedes from Punisher's face and manifests his trademark Skull insignia upon his chest. Castle tells the assembled heroes that he is in control now before making his escape.[186]
...The Marvel Super-Heroes had remained on Battleworld?
In this one-shot issue, the Marvel Super-Heroes and Villains left alive from the Secret Wars after Galactus' and the Beyonder's fatal battle find themselves trapped on Battleworld. Deciding to make the best of things, they all settle down and build new lives and families. Twenty-five years later, Spider-Man and the Venom symbiote are a single entity. With Reed Richards dead, there was no way to free Spider-Man from the symbiote and thus he was forced to accept this new way of life. Over time he becomes cold, calculating and emotionally distant from the rest of the group. The body of Peter Parker is now nothing more than a skeleton with the symbiote acting as his skin, much to the dismay of the other super-heroes and their children.[187]
...Spider-Man had rejected the Spider?
This one-shot issue presents a different approach to the events of Spider-Man: The Other, where Peter Parker dies and is resurrected with greater spider powers. Instead, Peter rejects the chance to rise again in a new form and leaves his body and spirit separated. This leaves his body open to a complete takeover by the Venom symbiote. The suit quickly abandons its latest host, Mac Gargan, as soon as it senses Peter's vulnerable state and rushes to once again unite with its first host. After cocooning Peter's body, the symbiote fully bonds with Peter, turning him into a violent monster called Poison. Poison longs for a companion to join them in their new life and chooses Mary Jane. After dispatching the Avengers who rush to her aid, Watson offers herself willingly to prevent any further harm to the people protecting her. She promises Poison that she will give her body but not her soul and make Poison's life as miserable as possible. This seems to leave Poison heartbroken and he flees. Instead, he unearths the grave of Gwen Stacy. The last images reveal Poison watching over a new cocoon like his own, but crimson colored, as it bursts forth showing a hand similar to Carnage's.[188]
...Iron Man: Demon in an Armor
In this one shot, which happens to take place in Earth-90211, Spider-Man has the Venom symbiote costume. Wade Wilson, as Deadpool, is hired by Galactus to kill the Beyonder for merging MODOK to Galactus's rear end in exchange for the Community Cube. He was given a weapon called the Recton Expungifier, the only weapon that could kill the Beyonder. When Deadpool tracked down his target to a night club, he was enticed into the Beyonder's partying lifestyle, getting Jheri curls in the process. While hanging out with the Beyonder in a flying limousine, Spider-Man broke into the car and demanded the symbiote costume be removed from himself. Beyonder's driver shoots Spider-Man out of the limousine and the symbiote leaves Spider-Man and merges with Deadpool, creating Venompool. However, after years of partying, Beyonder grew tired and threw Venompool to the world, snapping him out of the Beyonder's magic. Venompool attempted to resume his contract and kill the Beyonder, but he accidentally pawned the Recton Expungifier. He decides to get himself clean by kidnapping and selling a drunken Tony Stark to A.I.M. Unfortunately, he can't join any major superhero teams, like the Avengers, Defenders and Fantastic Four because of his newly acquired Jheri curls.
What The--?!
In the Spider-Ham universe, "The Bee-Yonder" gives Spider-Ham a version of the black uniform.[189] In issue #20, Pork Grind, a pig version of Venom is introduced as an enemy of Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham. He was a Wild Boar from Australia, who accepted a deal with a supervillain to become Pork Grind, because every Superhero needs to have an evil counterpart. He was much stronger than Spider-Ham, who was smashed by him like paper. Spider-Ham in an attempt to stop Pork Grind, he ate some spinach and was able to finally defeat him.

The film was initially reported to have no connection to the MCU nor have any relation to Spider-Man; it would be set in its own continuity.[206][207][208] A year later, Sony announced that Venom would be released on October 5, 2018 with Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner signed on as screenwriters.[209] It was reported to be Rated R and the first in a series of Spider-Man character-related spin-off films called the "Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters".[210][211] In May 2017, Tom Hardy was announced to be cast as Eddie Brock / Venom, with Ruben Fleischer attached to direct.[212] Carlton Drake / Riot appeared as the film's primary antagonist, as did Anne Weying, Brock's ex-wife from the comics.[213][214] The film has been described by Fleischer as taking inspiration from the works of David Cronenberg and John Carpenter. The supporting cast also consists of Riz Ahmed, Michelle Williams, and Jenny Slate. Variety reported that Kelly Marcel would write the script with Pinkner and Rosenberg.[215] Filming officially began on October 23, 2017.[216] Venom was released in the United States on October 5, 2018 with a PG-13 rating.
A sequel, Venom: Let There Be Carnage is scheduled for release in the United States on June 25, 2021.[217]
Video games
Venom, primarily the Eddie Brock incarnation, serves as a boss and a playable character in multiple Spider-Man and non-Spider-Man related video games over the years. The symbiote suit also appears as an alternate costume for Spider-Man in several games.
Spider-Man games
- The Eddie Brock incarnation of Venom first appears as a boss in the Mega-CD/Sega CD version of The Amazing Spider-Man vs. The Kingpin.[218]
- The Eddie Brock incarnation of Venom appears as a playable character in Spider-Man and Venom: Maximum Carnage and Venom/Spider-Man: Separation Anxiety.
- The Eddie Brock incarnation of Venom appears as a boss in The Amazing Spider-Man: Lethal Foes.
- The Eddie Brock incarnation of Venom appears as the final boss in the 1995 Spider-Man game.
- The Eddie Brock incarnation of Venom appears as a boss, later a supporting character, in the 2000 Spider-Man video game, voiced by Daran Norris. After being attacked by an impostor Spider-Man at Otto Octavius' science exposition, Brock becomes Venom again to exact revenge, and kidnaps Spider-Man's wife Mary Jane Watson. When he learns of this, Spider-Man chases Venom through the city and the sewers, eventually defeating him in his lair and saving Mary Jane. After learning Spider-Man was framed, Venom offers to make amends by helping him figure out who did it. At the end of the game, Venom helps Spider-Man fight Carnage, though he is defeated, and later rescues him alongside Captain America and Black Cat from Doctor Octopus' self-destructing base.
- The Ultimate Marvel iteration of Eddie Brock / Venom appears as a playable character and the final boss in the Ultimate Spider-Man video game, with the former voiced by Daniel Capallaro and the latter voiced by Arthur Burghardt. The symbiote suit is also available as an alternate costume for Spider-Man and appears briefly in the game's opening scene. In a separate storyline that crosses over with Spider-Man's, Venom is hunted by Bolivar Trask, who wants the symbiote for experimentation. After being captured by Silver Sable following a battle with Spider-Man, Brock is forced to test the symbiote for Trask by fighting Electro and track down Peter Parker, whose DNA will supposedly improve Brock's control over the symbiote, but Venom escapes. He later defeats the Beetle and interferes in a fight between Parker and Sable, which leads to him being defeated and captured by Trask again. After escaping and defeating a Carnage symbiote-possessed Parker, Venom absorbs it from him, gaining complete control over his own symbiote in the process. Though Spider-Man stops him from killing Trask, Venom escapes from prison and does so later anyway.
- The Eddie Brock incarnation of Venom appears in the Spider-Man 3 film tie-in game, voiced by Topher Grace. Similarly to the film, Spider-Man removes the symbiote after it becomes a negative influence on his behavior, only for it to then bond with Brock, who seeks revenge against both Spider-Man and Peter Parker. Adopting the alias Venom, he blackmails the Sandman into helping him kill Spider-Man, only to meet his demise in the ensuing fight.
- The Eddie Brock incarnation of Venom appears as a playable character in Spider-Man: Friend or Foe, voiced by Quinton Flynn. He and several other supervillains fight Spider-Man until they are all attacked by P.H.A.N.T.O.M.s created by Mysterio using shards of the meteor that brought the Venom symbiote to Earth. Venom is captured along with the other villains, placed under mind control, and sent to Transylvania to retrieve a meteor shard located there. After Spider-Man defeats Venom and destroys the mind-control device, the latter joins forces with the web-slinger to exact revenge on Mysterio.
- The Eddie Brock incarnation of Venom appears as the final boss of Spider-Man: Web of Shadows, voiced by Keith Szarabajka. During this game, part of his symbiote splits off from him and bonds with Spider-Man, giving him access to the black suit again. Venom attacks Manhattan with an army of symbiotes, leading to Spider-Man joining forces with S.H.I.E.L.D., the Kingpin, and many others to defeat him. Following several encounters, Spider-Man confronts Venom at S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Helicarrier after he takes on a giant, five-headed form. Despite destroying four of the heads, Spider-Man fails to kill Venom, so he appeals to Brock's better nature. After Brock emerges from Venom, Spider-Man can either kill Venom himself or allow Brock to sacrifice himself to do so. Regardless of the choice made, Venom dies, allowing Spider-Man to stop the invasion or take control of the symbiotes himself.
- In the PS2 and PSP versions of the game, the Tinkerer captures Venom after he attacks Manhattan with his symbiote army and the final boss is a large symbiote with seven heads that contains Venom's consciousness.
- In the Nintendo DS version, Venom is not the cause of the invasion. Instead, he is trying to stop it as well, and becomes an ally of Spider-Man after he defeats him.
- In Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, the Ultimate Spider-Man (voiced by Josh Keaton) is provided a copy of the Venom symbiote suit that Madame Web telepathically controls to prevent it from consuming him.
- Two versions of the black suit appear as alternate costumes for Spider-Man in The Amazing Spider-Man game. One is based on its appearance in the Spider-Man 3 film and the other is a modified version of Spider-Man's costume from the film the game is based on. Backstory for the game also reveals that the game's version of Scorpion was created using a "black goo" recovered from space.
- A variation of the Venom symbiote appears in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 video game. Oscorp runs a secret experiment at Ravencroft called the "Venom Project", using nanites as regenerating body armor that grant enhanced strength. This project later gives Cletus Kasady the Carnage symbiote. The symbiote suit is also available as an alternate costume for Spider-Man via DLC.
- The Eddie Brock incarnation of Venom appears in the mobile version of the game, voiced again by Benjamin Diskin. Originally a photographer who tricks Spider-Man into fighting crooks and allowing him to take pictures of him in action, Brock later investigates Oscorp but gets caught, forcing Spider-Man to save him. However, upon investigating a second time, Brock discovers their illegal activities and is transformed into Venom, who goes on a rampage until Spider-Man defeats him and removes the symbiote from him. Brock tells him what happened before passing out and Spider-Man takes him to the hospital.
- Numerous versions of Venom appear as playable characters in Spider-Man Unlimited. Additionally, the Eddie Brock incarnation of Venom appeared as a boss in the "Symbiote Dimension" limited time event. Later, Maniac and Inkling versions of Black Cat, Hammerhead, and Mac Gargan were included in the "Venom Inc" event.[219]
- In the 2018 Spider-Man video game, Norman Osborn places his terminally ill son Harry in a green vat containing a black substance resembling the Venom symbiote in an attempt to cure him. This substance is also shown to be responsive, as it reacts to Norman placing his hand on the vat and copies him.
