![]() Where Venom had previously been about goo-ing all over someone, Carnage moved into the space of a villain that will slice you up without second thought. For example, during his first full-issue appearance in Amazing Spider-Man #361, he makes his gooey tendrils into solid spikes and axes that he uses to murder people. The Carnage symbiote bonded to a legitimately insane person named Cletus Cassidy, and the two melded in a deeper way than Venom and any of his hosts did. All this led to Michelinie creating Carnage, Venom's "offspring" that the symbiote shed while breaking Eddie out of jail once and the guy we saw in Venom's post-credits scene, teasing the new villain for Venom 2. Venom's co-creator David Michelinie and artist Mark Bagly were working on Spider-Man, and Micheline was getting bored of tormented Eddie Brock and wanted to kill off the human so the Venom symbiote could find a new host, but Marvel wasn't going to let him kill off a villain that had become one of the favorites in Spider-Man's universe. The character of Venom was an extremely popular Spider-Man villain, and he was loaded up with an extreme look just as the '90s comic book boom was about to take off. Although Eddie Brock is a tortured anti-hero with a super-alien suit, Eddie's cell-mate was a cold, insane, serial killer. The Venom symbiote has a mind of its own, like when it decided not to tell Eddie Brock that it left its symbiote offspring behind when it broke Brock out of prison. ![]() ![]() Of the symbiotes that appear in Marvel comics, Venom is the most complex, torn between its nature as a space-goo that dominates a species and its relationships with several of its previous human hosts. ![]() Abandoned by the Klyntar because the symbiote wished to form a more lasting bond with its host rather than dominate and consume it, the symbiote had an evil alien as its first host before meeting Spider-Man on the Battleworld planet.īecause Venom bonded with Spider-Man and then Eddie Brock, a sad and outcast individual in his own right, the symbiote slowly started to bend towards a more positive relationship, becoming a vigilante and occasionally even a hero (when bonded to Flash Thompson, an Iraq soldier, he becomes Agent Venom and works for the government). Recent revelations in the comic book world have expanded the Venom symbiote's history to make the black-goo-suit something of an outcast from its race. As far as comic books, animated TV shows, and two movies are concerned, Venom is the first alien symbiote from the Klyntar race (that's what they're called) to come to Earth as dark Spider-Man. ![]()
