“ | We are Venom! | „ |
~ Venom's Catchphrase |
“ | Been to many worlds, but none of them this strange. Understood feelings before, but simple feelings - like colors, bold and bright. Happy. Sad. Angry. Then... met Spider-Man. Feelings got complicated. Learned guilt. Also the first time I felt fear. Felt agony. Learned feeling: Betrayal. Learned first words they called me. Monster. Parasite. Bad... Feels good to be a hero. Did bad things, too. Can't deny. Mac Gargan was bad. Thoughts like poison stingers. It was a thrill to kill. Knew it was bad. Didn't care. Gargan made it easy. Got to punish Gargan for what he did. He was evil and afraid. Lee Price was not afraid. He was a soldier. Hurt and desperate. I trusted him. Talked to him. But Lee was too strong. Didn't want to talk. Didn't want to be a hero. Wanted power. Couldn't stop the bad things he was doing. Lee was bad. Hurt me. Eddie hurts me too, sometimes, but Eddie is different. Eddie never means to... If Eddie is good, why do we disagree? If disagree... am I a monster? Parasite? Bad? Can't be bad. Wasn't bad with Flash. Fought with heroes. Was a hero. Trained another symbiote. Got to learn. Got to teach. Flash called me partner. Was never afraid like Spider-Man. But Flash is gone... and heroes don't hide. Not from anything... especially their mistakes. | „ |
~ The Venom Symbiote reflecting |
Venom is an anti-hero in the Spider-Man franchise. He is one of Spider-Man's archenemies later turned rival. The name has belonged to several different hosts over the years, which means that Venom is indeed the identity of this particular alien Symbiote. The Symbiote named itself Venom and considered itself as a venom for Spider-Man.
History[]
Venom was one of the first symbiotes created by Knull who wanted to destroy the light of the universe. After Knull's imprisonment, the symbiotes who were pure-hearted (including Venom) wanted to distance themselves from their dark origins while the corrupted ones went around terrorizing the galaxy.

Weaknesses[]
- Sonic and Heat: The Venom symbiote, like all others of its kind, is extremely vulnerable to heat and sonic based attacks. They can cause the symbiote physical pain and discomfort, whereas "more powerful" attacks might be completely ineffective.
Personality[]
The Venom symbiote is sweet, polite, kind, friendly, compassionate, and reasonable, as it cares about its hosts and loves them unlike most of its corrupted kind, but after being rejected by Spider-Man and bonding with Eddie Brock, it becomes corrupted, arrogant, and bloodthirsty, as it becomes willing to use lethal force if needed, and after leaving Eddie, and bonding with Mac Gargan who is known as the supervillain Scorpion, it becomes uncaring and cruel, as it knew by that point that hurting innocent people is bad, but didn't care at all by that point, but after being separated from Mac Gargan and being bonded to Flash Thompson, it starts to regain some of its kindness and compassion as it didn't like being kept in check by him, as he uses drugs to keep it in check, while he uses it to walk around again, but over time starts to care about each other and even with the symbiote sparing the Guardians of the Galaxy, after it hears the call to its home planet which it takes them out, but leaves them alive instead of killing them, and before being cleansed, tells Flash that it was an honor serving with him, showing that in the end, the Venom symbiote regained its good-hearted nature once more thanks to him, and after bonding again with Eddie, becomes a straight up superhero along with him.
Trivia[]
- Oddly, it was shown that Venom doesn't like being called a "parasite", even by Eddie (as they are arguing about this at the end of the film).
- It was also shown that Venom did like Anne and care about her; this could be one of the reasons why Venom didn't kill her while re-swapping into Eddie (which is unlikely as a symbiote would have to kill its host if he/she wasn't suitable to their nature or when swapping to another host).
- Venom has made two appearances on the popular Internet series DEATH BATTLE where he fought Bane and won then against Crona from Soul Eater but lost
