- HISTORY
- The Venom symbiote is an alien organism that first bonded with Peter Parker during the “Secret Wars”. After Parker rejected it, it found Eddie Brock as a new host. The symbiote and Brock bonded over their mutual hatred for Spider-Man and became known as Venom. Over time, Venom evolved from villainy into anti-heroism.
Venom is a symbiotic alien entity bonded with various human hosts including Eddie Brock and Flash Thompson. It grants superhuman strength and agility along with a shape-shifting black costume. Initially introduced as a villain to Spider-Man due to its origins, Venom has transformed into an antihero battling both villains and its own dark impulses while embodying themes of duality within the Marvel Universe.
