    1/38

    Venom is of a race of symbiotes who in thereparasitic natures have no feeling within theirown bodies so they leach on bodies oforganisms they have concured in order to havethese feeling and often used them to doamazing tasks and challenges just to feed offthe adrenaline rush produced. Once the hostwas no longer able to produce this rush theSymbiotes would leave it to finish dying.

    Venom, due to not following the ways ofbonding and dominating and instead using thebond to communicate, was forced to go to jailand sentence to death by disintegration.

    Spider-ManWhen the Beyondercreated Battleworld, thecrime fighter known as Spider-Man released theSymbiote when his familiar red and bluecostume was ripped into tatters, believing it tobe an alien clothing generator. When Spider-

    Man grabbed the little black ball, it instantlyslithered over his body, covering him from headto toe. But it did not pattern itself after his red-and-blue costume. Rather, it took on the

    appearance of the garment worn by the superheroineArachne, whom Spider-Man had beenadmiring. The webslinger was amazed at theproperties of his new suit, but never questionedthe mechanisms behind them. For instance, itcould mimic any type of clothing whatsoever,making

    The 1st host

    Spider-Mans need for spare clothing obsolete.It also contained a "dimensional aperture"where he could place his camera, spare

    change, and other items without adding to thebulk of the costume. The costume was alsoequipped with its own web-shooter andseemingly contained an unlimited supply ofwebbing. Once Spider-Man returned to Earth,the alien costume could not tolerate being

    separated from its host for long periods of time.At night, when Spider-Mans alter ego, PeterParker, slept, the Symbiote would take controlof him and battle evil. Peter realized that whenhe always wake up from bed, he is still

    exhausted. Later, Spider-Man battled thePuma, who perceived that the wall-crawlerswebs were organic. Startled by this revelation,Spider-Man accepted Reed Richards' offer tostudy the costume. Richards learned that thecostume was actually a living alien Symbiote, aparasite trying to graft itself permanently toSpider-Man both mentally and physically.Richards succeeded in separating the alien

    costume from its host by shooting it with a"sonic blaster." He then contained the being ina special environmental cell. But the alien wasmuch more intelligent than anyone perceived. Ittried to hypnotize Franklin Richards, but failedunfortunately not stopping it. It escaped from its

    cell and made its way to Peter Parkers closetwhere it waited, disguised as a spare red-and-blue costume. Spider-Man unwittingly donnedthe costume, which immediately made itselfapparent. He brought it to the tower at Our Ladyof Saints Church gambling the intense sound of

    its bells would destroy it. Spider-Man lost thegamble, and he succumbed to the bells beforethe costume did. However, the empathicparasite had preyed upon the emotions of

    4/38

    Spider-Man long enough to learn how to feel,and in feeling, to act. Sacrificing itself, the aliencostume saved Spider-Man, who assumed itthen, crawled away to die. Actually, theSymbiote, weak and dying, slithered down intothe church where Eddie Brock knelled in prayerat the altar. Raised a Catholic, he beggedforgiveness for the suicide he wascontemplatingEddie Brock

    Eddie Brock, the second host and the firstand the original Venom

    Brock had been a successful columnist for the

    newly revived Daily Globe until he began writinga series of articles about the " Sin-Eatermurders". A bogus offender had confessed toBrock about committing the murders. While

    5/38

    protecting the "murderers" identity under theFirst Amendment, Brock wrote a series ofstories in the Globe detailing his dialogue withthe supposed killer, until mounting pressurefrom the authorities forced him to write anexclusive revealing the murderer's name.Although that edition of the paper sold outimmediately, Spider-Man soon revealed thetrue identity of the Sin-Eater to be Detective

    Stan Carter, making Brock a laughingstockamong his fellow journalists. Fired from theDaily Globe, he was forced to write venomousdrivel for scandal newspapers. Brock's wife lefthim, and his future appeared to be over. Brockblamed his predicament on Spider-ManSoon after, Brock began an intense physicalworkout program hoping to reduce the stresshis life had become. However, such physicalexertions only increased his violent obsessionwith Spider-Man. Although his body had been

    honed to near-perfection, Brocks mind wasreduced to an all-consuming vessel of hatred. Itwas this fierce emotion that attracted theempathic parasite. In order to survive, the aliencostume had to feed off the nearest and

  • 8/8/2019 Venom is of a Race of Symbiotes Who in There Parasitic Natures Have No Feeling Within Their Own Bodies So The

    6/38

    greatest source of emotion. The Symbiotejoined mentally and physically with Brock,whose emotions overwhelmed the alreadyconfused alien. The dominant thought on boththeir minds was that of Spider-Man. But Brockssheer hatred for the crime fighter twisted theSymbiotes feelings to a similar extent. In effect,Brocks emotions drove the Symbiote insane,just as their bonding may have driven Brock

    over the edge. Brock soon discovered that thecostume gave him all the powers of Spider-Man, and more. It also added bulk to hisalready large frame and increased his strengthto superhuman levels. Calling himself "Venom,"Brock directed the costume to sprout a hideous

    grin and plotted his revenge. Through thecostume, Venom learned a great deal aboutSpider-Man, including his secret identity.

    Venom Unmasked - Eddie Brock

    Brock taunted Peter Parker with minor assaults,

    such as pushing him in front of a movingsubway train. The alien costume could cancelout the wall-crawlers spider-sense presumablyby projecting conflicting frequencies uponSpider-Man's brain waves. Venom finally madea bold move when he confronted Parkers wife,

    Mary Jane, at their old Chelsea apartment.Although Venoms twisted sense of morality didnot allow him to physically harm Mary Jane,Spider-Man immediately realized the nature ofthis threat. Taking the time to retrieve the sonicblaster from the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man

    challenged Venom at Our Lady of SaintsChurch. Although he fired the blaster at Venom,Spider-Man soon discovered that the Symbiotecould not be separated from Brock because ithad

    completely bonded with him. Trying to escape

    and rethink his options, Spider-Man was caughtunaware by Venom. He captured Spider-Manand secured him to the inside of the church bellwith a considerable amount of webbing. Spider-

    Man narrowly escaped the bells crushingclapper before defeating Venom by forcing himto deplete his webbing supply, of

    Eddie Brock & the Venom Symbiote

    Containedwhich the alien Symbiote was actuallycomprised. Before the alien could regenerateenough of its mass to become a renewedthreat, Spider-Man brought Venom to theFantastic Four who imprisoned him in a sonic

    containment cell. The Fantastic Four thenshipped Venom to the government super-prisonin the Colorado Rockies called the Vault. Ayoung guard named Hugh Taylor who had justbeen assigned to the Vault was fooled intothinking that Venom was a fallen colleague and

    released the gate mechanism, whichimprisoned the criminal. Venom killed the naiveguard and escaped to New York City, where heonce again confronted Spider-Man. This time

    9/38

    Spider-Man used psychological warfare uponVenom, by taunting the alien Symbiote to returnto him. The alien, torn by its love-haterelationship for Spider-Man, tried to leave Brockand to re-establish its link with its originalowner. But the trauma of trying to detach itselffrom Brocks nervous system was too much tobear. The alien costume and Eddie Brock wereboth knocked unconscious and were

    subsequently returned to the Vault, where theywere incarcerated. Since then, Venom hasgone through many changes.

    The next fight, Venom went after Spider-Manaround the same time Jonathon Caesar, an

    insane and obsessed fan of Mary Jane Watson-Parker, sent two mercenaries Styx and Stoneafter the wallcrawler. Venom unintentionallybecame involved in the plot when the twoattempted to follow him through the sewers inthe hope of finding Spider-Man. Unfortunatelyfor them, Venom escaped the sewers in hishuman guise. After yet another fight withSpider-Man, Styx and Stone found the two andattempted to kill Spider-Man. Fortunately forSpidey, albeit in a bad way, Venom would not

    allow anyone else to kill Spider-Man, savehimself. Attacking the two, the fight ensued,before Styx, the living cancer, touched hisSymbiote, killing it in the process.

    The Symbiote seemingly dead, Eddie Brockwas sent to a normal prison.

    However, later, it was revealed the Symbiotewas merely sent into a comatose state,

    seemingly immune to Earthly diseases.Returning to Eddie Brock, the two easilyescaped. In the breakout, however, the suit lefta small spawn behind it,

    Eddie Brock as Venom

    which would bond with Eddie's cell mate, Cletus

    Kasady. No one would no about this formonths. Eddie brought Spider-Man to an islandin the Caribbeans, away from people andinnocents, in the hope of killing him alone.

    However, Spider-Man later realized that Venomwould only be happy if he knew that Spider-Man was dead. Faking his death, Spider-Manmade Venom believe that he had died. Happyat last, Venom thought there was no reason toreturn to civilization, having all he needed onthe island, and stayed there.

    A few months later, however, the psychotic

    serial killer, known only as Carnage emerged,beginning slaughter spree throughoutManhattan, in which hundreds died. Spider-Manattempted to stop him, but learnt the hard waythat he was

    outmatched physically, despite his superior

    experience. Realizing that Carnage

    Carnage, Spider-Man, & Venom

    possessed a Symbiote, Peter reluctantly turnedto Venom for assistance in order to stop thismenace. Cantacting the

    Human Torch, they traveled to the island whereSpider-Man had left Venom. When venom sawthat Spider-Man was in fact still alive, heattacked the two.A brief spat ensued, afterwhich Venom listened to what Spider-Man'sreasoning. Venom agreed to help Spider-Manstop Carnage in exchange for his freedom,Spider-Man reluctantly obliged, starting the firstof many uneasy alliances with between the

    two.

    Once they returned to New York, Venom andSpider-Man combined efforts to stop Carnage'srampage on two separate occasions with equalfailure. Finally, however, during a rock concert

    at Madison Square Garden, they stoppedCarnage after trying to kill J. Jonah Jameson.

    After Spider-man destroyed Kasady's Carnagesymbiote through the use of stage's

    sound system, Venom attacked him. He stillpossessed enough hatred to attempt to chokehim. Luckily, Venom was stopped by theFantastic Four. However After years

    of combating, Venom reached an agreementwith Spider-Man, and made a truce.

    Lethal Protector

    After dealing a truce with Spider-Man, Venomwould relocate to the West Coast, SanFrancisco. Starting out as a "Lethal Protector",

    Venom would come across a hiddenunderground city. A man known as RolandTreece was sending hired guns to exterminatethese people so he could claim the hidden goldreserve below the underground city. Venomdecided to protect these people from Treece

  • 8/8/2019 Venom is of a Race of Symbiotes Who in There Parasitic Natures Have No Feeling Within Their Own Bodies So The

    14/38

    and infiltrated Treece's company. Venom'sactions had gotten Spider-Man's attention,however, and Spider-Man would travel to SanFrancisco to bring Venom down once and forall. While Spidey searched for a lead on hisformer enemy, Venom was being pursued by ateam of of highly trained soldiers known as theJury. The Jury was brought together by Orwell

    Taylor, the father of the young Vault officerVenom killed during a Vault breakout. The Juryrelentlessly attacked Venom, nearly killing himuntil the Life Foundation rescued, thencaptured, him. Carlton Drake, head of thefoundation had plans for creating super

    guardsman similar to Venom's first offspring,Carnage, and violently ripped from Venom fivespawn, creating the Five Life FoundationSymbiotes and joining them with their best

    personnel. Spider-Man encountered one of thenew symbiotes, a female human

    joined with a symbiote, and followed her back tothe Life Foundation. Realizing that Spider-Man's intrusion was in order to track downVenom, and since Venom was no longer usefulfor the foundation, Drake had the symbioteviolently separated from Eddie, nearing killing

    Eddie.

    Five Venoms!

    Eddie would later free himself and team-up withSpider-Man, reuniting with his own Venomsymbiote. The five new symbiotes tested outtheir powers against the combined efforts of

    Spider-Man and Venom, but their symbioteswhere seemingly destroyed by a machinetriggered by Venom, and the human host wherethought dead after the Life Foundation complex

    self-destructed. Having escaped the explodingbuilding, the two spider-powered foes wouldjoin forces against Roland Treece and preventhim from killing all of the inhabitants of theunderground city. Spider-Man then returned toNew York while Venom would remain with theunderground city.

    Maximum Carnage

    Maximum Carnage

    Carnage would later escape again and bejoined up with other super villains and start theMaximum Carnage. Once again Spider-Manand Venom would fight him again after Carnagecalled out Venom on TV. Venom would laterassemble his own team including Cloak,Dagger, Morbius, and fight Carnage. At onepoint Venom gets captured and tortured by

    Separation AnxietyHowever, some time later, the Life Foundation

    Symbiotes!

    Symbiotes would return. After being separated

    from his own symbiote by the Scarlet Spider,Eddie Brock was sent to a research facility. Thefive Life Foundation Symbiotes broke into thefacility to escape with Eddie. They kept Eddiecaptive until he would agree to help the humanhosts control their own symbiotes. But one of

    the five symbiotes, Donna (Scream) would killoff the human hosts of her fellow offspring one-by-one. When the Venom symbiote escapedfrom it's imprisonment and rejoined with Eddie,

    the two would defeat Scream and leave her andher four dead comrades (with their symbiotesstill alive) for the authorities (the remaining foursymbiotes would merge into one and bond withScott Washington to become Hybrid.

    Last Years as Venom...Venom was recruited via an ultimatum by thegovernment to be a special operations counter-terrorist agent. Venom agreed, but onestipulation of the deal did not sit too well withhim. A bomb was planted in his chest to assurecomplete and utter obedience. After a fewmissions, Venom became tired of the situationand had the Symbiote perform surgery on himand extracted the bomb. A brouhaha ensuedwherein the end result was Eddie Brock lyingunconscious and the Symbiote "dead," only toreturn later on and re-join with Eddie. ThusVenom was whole again and looking to squarethings with Spider-Man once again. He had lost

    his memory and no longer knew the secretidentity of Spider-Man, but knew that a

    death

    deep seated hatred resided within him for thewebhead.

    Shortly after the reunion, Venom joined theSinister Six for a brief period in order to get atSpider-Man. After being scorned by the group,he hunted down certain members of the teamfor revenge (including Electro, the Sandman,and Alyosha Kravinoff. Later Eddie Brockapproached his ex-wife Anne Weying, and atthe thought of having the Symbiote back in herlife, she jumped out of her apartment windowand killed herself.

    Venom blamed Spider-Man, whom he had askirmish with right before Anne died. Thus thehatred for the old webhead was fueled anew.

    After an extended period of inactivity, Venomresurfaced with cancer, and the only thingkeeping him alive was the Symbiote, who didnot want him anymore. After seeing a spiritualmovie, Eddie decided to sell his Symbiote off in

    an auction, swearing off his life of vigilantism.The winner of the auction was the the gang lordDon Fortunato. He gave the Symbiote to hisson,Angelo, in hopes that Angelo would finallymake a name for himself. But after a fightagainst Spider-Man that resulted in Angelo

    cowering away, the Symbiote eventually leftAngelo to die in mid-air.

    The Symbiote passed on to Mac Gargan, theScorpion, and offered him additional powers.He agreed and Mac became the next host ofthe Venom Symbiote which he thought will givehim the advantage he needs in defeatingSpider-Man as well as being apart of theSinister Twelve. But he was still defeated bySpider-Man with the help of other heroes. Eventhough he was incarcerated, it didn't hinder him

    as with his new powers he would be respectedmore as a powerful villain. He was laterabducted by the Beyonder to participate yetagain in another Secret War, but it was reallythe Strangerin disguise. During this events hethought he had killed Spider-Man but it was

    really the Space Phantom. All the participantswere able to escape from the crumbling planetthanks to Gravity's sacrifice, he is seenmourning for his death.

    Gargan later becomes a member of a sub-group of the Thunderbolts, which has beendrafted by theAvengers to hunt down themembers of the fugitive Secret Avengers and iscurrently run by the Commission forSuperhuman Activities. It is then revealed thathe has been outfitted with electrical implants bythe government to keep the Symbiote in check.As a Thunderbolt, he is seen as a hero by the

    general public and has his own action figures.Gargan displays his new raw power as Venomin a battle with Jack Flag, after pummeling Flagfor a bit, the hero manages to stab Gargan, whois protected by his Symbiote. Gargan becomesenraged and ferociously manhandles Flag, and

    is about to feast upon his flesh, when hiselectrical implants kick in and temporarilysubdue him, allowing Flag to live. Garganexpresses fear of the control the Symbiotepossesses over him, yet he has becomeaddicted to the raw unearthly power it brings to

    him, and cannot begin to imagine life without it,similarly to a drug addict. Later, during anattack from Steel Spider,American Eagle andSepulchre, Gargan loses control again, briefly

    becoming a huge monster once more, whileMoonstone is incapacitated and thus cannot co-ordinate control of his electrical implants.Afterward, however, he returns to a normal formwith no ill effects. Then, he bites off, anddevours, Steel Spider's arm during a fight.Later, the Thunderbolts goes after Spider-Manfor being an unregistered hero and likeeveryone else, he has no memory of Spider-

    Man's true identity, because ofOne More Day.When Venom and Spider-Man fought, EddieBrock got into the skirmish and the Symbiotesuddenly left Gargan to bond again to Brock,but his skin acted like a corrosive when theSymbiote tried to attached itself. White

    substance began to appear from Brock's poresand became Anti-Venom. Anti-Venom battledVenom and seemingly "cleansed" Gargan ofthe Symbiote but also inadvertently cleansingSpider-Man remaining Symbiote within his bodyalong with his spider powers. Venom appeared

    again to battle Anti-Venom, but this time he iswearing a scorpion armor to protect therecovering Symbiote. When Gargan was able tostabbed his stinger to Anti-Venom, the wound

    seemingly killed the Anti-Venom Symbiote andjust as he was about to kill him, the VenomSymbiote stopped Gargan and said that it stillhad feelings for Brock and that he should live.Gargan vowed to kill Brock when he gets achance, and Brock says the same.After returning from another mission (it endedabruptly when Venom ate the target) the

    Thunderbolts were attacked by Captain Marvel.When Venom tried to stop him he was sentflying through a window and belowThunderbolts Mountain. It was later ondiscovered that Captain Marvel was a Skrull.Nobody knew what was happening except

    Osborne. Earth was at war. The Thunderboltshad been sent to protect Washington. Whenthey arrived, Venom thrived in battle, eating asmany Skrulls as he could. Later on he wasattacked by a super Skrull, and they were bothsent flying off they ship that they were on. They

    both landed among a crowd, and the Skrullquickly changed its shape. Venom, knowing itwas hiding then began suffocating people in thecrowd with tendrils, trying to find it. WhenOsborne saw this he reminded the Symbiote

    25/38

    that while he was all for letting it fulfill its urges,there did have to be guidelines. Venom thencontinued to do what he was doing before. TheSkrull saw all of this and, while changing backinto its battle form, called Venom a monstersaying that humans would liberate the Skrullsafter seeing this. Venom then revealed that itwas an act, and that the people had been ableto breath the entire time. He said he did this to

    make the Skrull come out of hiding. Venomthen proceeded to attack the Skrull. He badlywounded it with his claws and then startedeating it. After Washington, the Thunderboltscontinued on to New York, where Thorhadsummoned all the heroes and Skrulls for a final

    battle in Central Park. When they arrived,Osborne reminded the Thunderbolts thatSkrulls were the target. Venom began tocomplain, saying that Spider-Man was nearby.He was quickly made quiet. Throughout thebattle, Venom continued to kill and eat Skrulls,

    and was only seen harmed once when he waspunched by a Skrull taking on the persona ofGiant Man. Venom and the rest of theThunderbolts made it through the Secret

Spider-Man knocked Venom ontowires and the electricity disconnected Carolfrom the black suit. Then it came back to it'sprevious host - Mac Gargan - and tried to attackheroes once more, but Spider-Man webbedVenom's legs and threw him in the air so Ms.

    Marvel could beat him with car bumper. That'show Venom was sent to a long flight and thencrushed into the flying aircraft (probably theA.I.M. one). That was enough to stop him fornow. Carol and Spidey decided to come back tothe battlefield set up on the ruins of Asgard.

    Powers and AbilitiesSymbiotes empower the natural abilities of ahost to the point where they far exceed that ofnormal members of the hosts' species. Theseabilities include the following superhumanstrength, speed and agility, Super enhanceddurability, resistance to damage and healing

    ability, genetic memory, recalling informationfrom previous hosts. Can expand to any size aslong as they have something to grow on suchas a host or an object. Symbiotes can get insideof small areas such as electric wires and theinsides of cars and completely disable them.

    The Symbiote also reacts to the thoughts andwill of the host. When Spider-Man was originallyselected, he had been thinking aboutArachne's costume. The Symbiote acted on thisand formed a similar costume, the one seen onhim and Venom. The Symbiote can sense thepresence of other Symbiote within a certaindistance and the ability to shape-shift, frommimicking clothing up to and including completechange of appearance and stature.

    The Venom Symbiote has also adapted thespider powers from Spider-Man and has beeninherited by its offspring such as the ability tocling on walls and produce an infinite amount ofwebbing from its own mass and the ability tobypass Spider-Man's spider-sense. at his peakbefore contacting the symbiote he can lift(press) 700 lbs and As Venom Brock'sstrength allows him to lift (press) 25 tons ,

    stronger than Spider-Man himself (Beforehaving the Anti-Venom Symbiote to lift 100tons). Gargan can lift twice than Spider-man heoriginally lift(press) 25 tons. The natural super-strength of Gargan combined with the strengthof the symbiote allows him to lift(press) over

    100 tons. The Symbiote allows the user limitedshape-shifting. Norman provided Gargan amedicine that allows the symbiote to return toit's original form to mimic Spider-Man'sappearance. The medicine must be taken inbetween periods of times, or else the symbiote

    would take over Gargan. Gargan has the abilityto switch between the Venom appearance andthe smaller Spider-man appearance.

    Additionally, the symbiote is capable of healinginjuries in the host at a faster rate than normalhuman healing allows. The symbiote is alsocapable of healing injuries and illnesses thatcurrent human medical care cannot such ascancer.

    Weaknesses

    The Venom symbiote, like almost all symbiotes,is highly vulnerableto sonics and intense heat. While the Venomsymbiote has been able to endure fire and heat-based attacks and weaponry, sonics have

    always proven very effective against Venom.Extreme sound can cause the symbiote greatpain and can even tear the symbiote awayfrom Eddie/Mac.

    Symbiotes are overwhelmed by sonics

    While Mac still possesses his Scorpion-based

    superhuman abilities, without the symbiote,

    Eddie possesses no superhuman powers.

    Eddie's Anti-Venom symbiote, however, has a

    high resistance to both fire and sonics. A highlyfatal toxin created by Norman Osborn and used

    by Mac (as Venom) was able to temporarily

    destroy the Anti-Venom symbiote during New

    Ways to Die.
