Venom, also called the Venom Symbiote, is a character from Marvel Comics. He's a Symbiote, an alien lifeform capable of infusing itself with its host body. When the Venom Symbiote bonds with a human, that new dual lifeform refers to itself as Venom.
Venom was created by Todd McFarlane and David Michelinie.
Venom is an emotionless being that has an aggressive nature. Its personality changes depending on who it is bonded to, though it stays with distilled aggression.
Physical appearance[]
Venom has a very muscular, black body that resembles the Symbiote he originated from. He has white eyes with no pupils, sharp teeth, and a long tongue. Except for the teeth, tongue, and black and white color-scheme, he resembles Spider-Man's. Venom is also capable of shapeshifting into a gooey, almost liquid-like form, and can sprout tentacles for combat purposes.
Weaknesses[]
The Symbiote is extremely sensitive to sound & heat attacks. Sounds can separate the Symbiote from the host. Electricity can also weaken the Symbiote.
The Eddie Brock and Venom of Sony's Spider-Man Universe (SSU), portrayed by Tom Hardy, appear in the film's mid-credits scene. In their native reality, as depicted in the SSU film Venom: Let There Be Carnage, the duo goes into hiding in Mexico. Venom explains to Eddie that symbiotes share a hive mind across the multiverse and proceeds to share a fragment of the hive mind's multiversal knowledge, including the knowledge of Peter Parker's identity as Spider-Man. As a result, they are teleported to a resort room in Mexico in the Marvel Cinematic Universe due to Doctor Strange's botched spell, where they watch J. Jonah Jameson expose Peter's identity as Spider-Man on television thanks to Mysterio.
Leaving their hotel room, the pair visit the bar and learn about Thanos, the Avengers, and the Blip as they converse with a bartender. Brock considers going to New York to meet Spider-Man, but the duo is soon teleported back to the SSU after Strange launches a new spell to fix the multiversal crisis. However, they unknowingly leave a piece of the symbiote behind.
The iteration of Eddie Brock and Venom that appeared in the non-MCU film Spider-Man 3 is mentioned in Spider-Man: No Way Home by the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, played by Tobey Maguire.
Venom appears as a playable character in the Capcom crossover fighting games Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes, and Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes, and returns as a DLC character in Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite.
In the comics, Venom is a symbiote from an alien planet while the original Ultimate Spider-Man comics version was an artificial life form created by Dr. Richard Parker and Eddie Brock Sr., Peter and Eddie's father, in attempt to cure incurable terminal illnesses, namely cancer.
Venom made his first big screen debut in the third film of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy portrayed by Topher Grace, but originally Sam wanted to add Vulture in the film, but was added by a request from producer Avi Arad. But as a result, Venom portrayed in the movie was poorly received by fans, for not making the character bigger and bulky like in the comics. This version is mentioned in No Way Home by the Raimi version of Peter Parker and is the only villain from the trilogy to not return in the latter film.
