Publishing history
Creation and conception
Writers David Michelinie and artist Todd McFarlane are generally credited with character creation, based on a number of ideas and plot concepts from various other creators. The question of who created the Venom character became an issue of contention in 1993 when Michelinie wrote to the comic book industry magazine Wizard, who called Michelinie in # 17 the "co-creator" version of Can snake. In his letter, printed in issue # 21 (May 1993), Michelinie writes that he is the sole creator of the character, saying he also believes that without McFarlane his character would not achieve such popularity.
Author Peter David reinforced Michelinie's view in his "But I Digress" column on June 4, 1993 the Comical Buyer's Guide , where he stated that Michelinie discussed the idea behind the character with him at the time. creation. At the time, David was a writer on The Spectacular Spider-Man and wrote the storyline "Sin Eater" from which Eddie Brock's backstory will be revealed, long before McFarlane was assigned to an art assignment at Extraordinary . Because the artist who illustrates the first appearance of published characters is generally credited as a co-creator (especially if the artist is the one who designed the visual appearance of the characters), Venom represents a complex situation, since the costume from which Venom's appearance originated is not designed by McFarlane.
Erik Larsen responded to Michelinie's letter with one of his possessions printed at the Wizard # 23 (July 1993), where he rejected Michelinie's contribution to the character, arguing that Michelinie simply "swept" the pre-existing symbiote and its power to place it on a character whose motives are poorly understood, one-dimensional, unreliable, and cliché à © d. Larsen also argues that it is the character of McFarlane's character that makes it commercial.
The pre-existing elements that deal with the symbiote costumes themselves - which Michelinie does not contribute - have also been recorded. The original idea of ââa new costume for Spider-Man that would later become a Venom character was conceived by Marvel Comics readers from Norridge, Illinois named Randy Schueller. Marvel bought the idea for $ 220.00 after the editor-in-chief at the time, Jim Shooter, sent Schueller a letter acknowledging Marvel's desire to get an idea from him, in 1982. Schueller's design was later modified by Mike Zeck, becoming a Symbiote costume. For example, Shooter came up with the idea of ââturning Spider-Man into a black-and-white costume, probably influenced by the costume design devoted to the new Spider-Woman, with artists Mike Zeck and Rick Leonardi, and others, designing black and white costumes.
Writer/artist John Byrne confirmed on his website that the idea for a costume made from self-healing biological material is one that originated when he was an artist at Iron Fist to explain how the character's costume constantly became torn and then repaired by the next issue, explaining that he ended up not using the idea on the title, but Roger Stern then asked if he could use the idea for Spider-Man alien costume. Stern in turn plotted the problem where the costume first appeared but then left the title. It was writer Tom DeFalco and artist Ron Frenz who had determined that the costume was a living alien, and that it was susceptible to high sonic energy during the run to The Amazing Spider-Man that preceded Michelinie. In spite of that, the position of Peter David is that Michelinie is the only creator, because the idea of ââcreating a separate character using the alien symbiote is Michelinie's, as is Eddie Brock's backstory, and that without the idea of ââcreating character, there will be no.
In an interview with Tom DeFalco, McFarlane stated that Michelinie did come up with Venom's idea and basic character design ("a big guy in black costume"). However, he argues that it's him (McFarlane) that gives Venom a feature like a monster. He confessed; "I just wanted to make her kooky and creepy, and not just a guy with a black suit."
This dispute arose at a time when the benefits of artists as collaborators and authors were debated in the industry, a discussion fueled by the popularity of artists such as McFarlane, Larsen, and other founders of Comics Draw.
Venom's existence was first shown in the Web of Spider-Man # 18 (Sept. 1986), when he pushed Peter Parker in front of the subway without Parker's spider instincts warning him, though only Brock's visible hand in the panel. The next indication of Venom's existence was at Web of Spider-Man # 24 (March 1987), when Parker had exited the high story window to transform into Spider-Man, but found a black arm coming through the window and grabbing it , again without being warned by his earnings senses.
The characters will remain invisible and inactive until the editor of Amazing Salmon's Spider-Man Jim Salicrup needs a criminal for the 300 edition of the book, and Michelinie advises a criminal consisting of foreign symbiosis grafted onto a human female body; taking revenge for the death of her husband and a baby having a miscarriage that would inadvertently die as a disadvantageous result from Spider-man who fights other supervillain. Salicrup accepted the suggestion, but changed the character to male, and the female character plot was also abandoned. Michelinie later discovered the identity of Eddie Brock. Michelinie argues that the plot for problem # 298-299, as well as the visual description of the characters, was written and purchased by Salicrup before McFarlane was ever assigned to the book.

He first pushed Peter in front of a moving subway without activating his spider flavor, and then terrorized Spiderman's wife, Mary Jane. Spider-Man poison feeds into his apartment for their first confrontation, where Venom reveals his true identity to Spider-Man, claiming "You can call me Venom, because that's what I pay to spit out these days!" Spider-Man discovers that Symbiote has been fully tied to Brock and can not be killed without also killing Brock. Finally Venom was fooled into weakening himself by removing too much webbing until the clothes did not have enough material to produce more. Venom was imprisoned in Vault, from which he made a repeated escape and escaped his efforts, only to suffer defeat and return to Vault.
Brock eventually faked suicide and escaped after being taken to the morgue. During a battle with Spider-Man, Symbiote seems to be killed by Styx's vicious criminals, giving his life to protect Brock. Brock is locked up and Spider-Man throws away the remnants of Symbiote. Symbiote survives by entering a coma to fight the disease and return to Brock, allowing him to escape again from prison. During the breakout, symbiote asexually reproduces and leaves its breeding. Her descendants quickly bind the Brock cell couple, Cletus Kasady, created Carnage.

Poison, satisfied with the result, resigned to live on the island. Spider-Man eventually faces Carnage but can not defeat him. Spider-Man was forced to ask Venom's help, promising his freedom instead. However, after they defeated Carnage, Spider-Man betrayed Venom (who has also continued his plan for revenge and tried to strangle the arachnoid hero to death) by summoning the Fantastic Four and sending him back to jail.

During the fight, Brock's ex-wife, Anne Weying, was almost destroyed under the fallen steering wheel, but Spider-Man rescued her. Seeing this action, Venom reconciled with Spider-Man. In Venom: Lethal Protector (1993), Venom moved to San Francisco and acted as protector of underground society from homeless people. He was then taken captive by the Living Foundation who harvested the last five seeds in the symbiote to create a super-powerful cop and Brock was forcibly separated from the symbiote. With the help of Spider-Man, Brock reunited with the symbiote and they seem to destroy his offspring, Phage, Lasher, Riot, Scream and Agony, before fleeing. After rescuing the homeless, Venom is accepted in their community and remains their protector.
In 1993 the "Maximum Carnage" crossover, Carnage reappeared and started the massacre in New York City, and Brock returned to help, feel responsible. Venom finds him unsuitable for Carnage, and seeks help from Spider-Man, but Spider-Man refuses to work with Venom's violent methods.

Venom eventually handles Carnage into a high-voltage generator, making Carnage unconscious and allowing his capture by Avengers. Brock is hiding.
Brock is back in the 1994 limited series Separation Anxiety, where he was arrested and separated from symbiote for a government research project. Venom breeding: Phage, Lasher, Scream, Riot, and Agony are revealed to be alive and arriving to free Brock, seeking his help to control their symbiote. Brock eventually reunited with symbiote, but experience forced him to evaluate his relationship with the costumes. The 1995 "Planet of Symbiotes" event continues the narrative of Separation of Anxiety , with Brock forcing the symbiote to leave him, concerned about how much influence it might have on him. Simbiote releases the telepathic cries of sadness and pain that attract other members of its species to Earth. The story follows the efforts of Brock, Spider-Man, and Scarlet Spider to stop the invasion and defeat the escaped and empowered Carnage. Brock was forced to bind completely and irrevocably with symbiote to cause psychic trauma to the symbiote, causing them to commit suicide.
Return to the villain
When Ann is shot by the new Sin-Eater, Brock forces Symbiote to unite with him to heal his wound. In the process, she temporarily becomes She-Venom, but Brock demands the Symbiote team back after Ann loses control and kills a pair of muggers, leaving Ann traumatized. Brock helped kill the new Sin-Eater. Ann is detained by police when they try to hunt Venom and Brock sends her Symbiote so she can escape. When She-Venom he again struggled to control himself. When Brock takes back Symbiote, he tells him to keep himself and Symbiote away from him.
Brock was arrested at his sewers and on trial, with Matt Murdock acting in his defense, his symbiote being held in check by chemical inhibitors. Cletus Kassady was summoned as a witness, but when his case became hot, Kassady and Brock overcame his inhibitor. Venom, Spider-Man, and Daredevil formed and subjected Carnage. However, before the trial can proceed, Venom is unexpectedly detained by a secret government organization that offers amnesty to him instead of becoming their agent. Although Venom initially enjoyed his new immunity, he left after being abandoned during a dangerous mission. After receiving a head injury, Eddie suffered from amnesia. He was later separated from symbiote, who was allegedly killed by the government Overreach Committee.
Symbiote survives and tracks Brock amnesiac, turning it into Venom again. Venom infiltrates Ravencroft Prison looking for Carnage and Absorbing Symbiote Carnage. Brock temporarily joined Sinister Six to get Spider-Man but after being betrayed by them, he began to hunt down the members for revenge. He finally paralyzes Sandman by biting him, which causes Sandman's death.
Competition Venom with Spider-Man was updated when Ann, who lived in fear from attachment to Symbiote, committed suicide after seeing Brock become Venom. Venom however, believes Spider-Man swings Ann's window in his black costume to be the cause. But before he can take his revenge, Symbiote is forcibly expelled from him by the man/alien hybrid Senator Ward to learn more about the symbiosis. The alien race, which secretly operates within the administration of the United States, cloned Venom's symbiote. Venom absorbs clones, gets his knowledge, and decides to carry out alien orders.
Cancer and post-Venom
The 2003 story "The Hunger" introduces a new element to Brock's origin, revealing that Brock suffered from cancer before joining the symbiote, and that he chose to bind with Brock not only because of his hatred of Spider-Man but also because cancer caused adrenaline release, symbiote. Brock relies on a lawsuit to live, and pursues Spider-Man for fear that he will take his sympathy back, not to take revenge for his lost career. Brock died after symbiote left him for Spider-Man, not wanting a sick host. Spider-Man tricked the symbiote back into a bundle with Brock, bringing it back to life.
When Carnage gave birth to a new symbiote, Venom named it Toxin and hoped to turn it into an ally. When Toxin showed compassion, Venom tried to kill him. Toxins are saved by Spider-Man and Black Cat.
In the 2004 story "Venomous", Brock suffers a crisis of faith and decides to sell symbiote, knowing he will quickly die from his cancer without it, intends to donate $ 100 million received from sales to charity on the grounds that the symbiote will find another host once he dies. Symbiote was bought by Don Fortunato's crime boss for his son Angelo Fortunato. Angelo briefly became the second Venom but proved an unworthy host, and the symbiote left him in mid-leap that allowed him to fall to his death. After learning of Angelo's death, Brock felt responsible and tried to commit suicide by cutting his wrist. Brock next appeared in the 2007 story "The Last Temptation of Eddie Brock", where he quickly succumbed to cancer, and experienced hallucinations "Venom". Finding Aunt May's coma in the same hospital, dying from a shot, Venom's hallucination persuaded him to kill him.

When Peter visits May, he finds Eddie, who has repeatedly cut his own wrist to get rid of "Venom". Eddie asks for Peter's forgiveness before jumping out of the window, but Peter catches him. Waking up chained to his bed, Brock finds he can still see "Venom" but tells him that he accepts his presence as long as he knows that Brock is in control.
Anti-Venom
The 2008 Story "New Way to Die" shows Brock's return. Matt Murdock assured the court that Brock was not responsible for his actions when bound by symbiote and criminal charges against him were dropped. Brock got a job in the soup kitchen under Martin Li. Brock is known to recover from his cancer by Li, who has a special ability, and Brock believes it is a miracle. After Brock was attacked by a new Venom, Mac Gargan, the symbiote tried to reunite with Brock. Brock's skin becomes caustic to the symbiote, and he is enveloped with new white symbiotes that are forged from Venom's symbiote remains on his body tied to his white blood cells filled with Li's healing energy, into Anti-Venom. Brock defeats Gargan and almost kills Venom's symbiote. When Brock detected the remains of symbiote in Spider-Man, he tried to "heal" him, drain the radiation from his body and almost remove it. While saving Spider-Man from Norman Osborn, Brock once again fights with Gargan who is reinforced by combat and recovered symbiote. Gargan hit Anti-Venom with his sting, injecting a toxic formula that seemed to destroy Brock's suit. When Gargan tried to kill Brock, Venom's symbiote stopped him. Brock's anti-toxic settings will be reformed.
Brock then confronts the Negative villain and finds that he and Li are the same person. Studying that the man he idolized was a superflu cause for Brock's failure to make him question his faith, calling himself a monster. After this revelation he becomes increasingly mentally unstable, killing small villains as he did during his "deadly day of protection". He was short and reluctant to work with Punisher to stop the drug cartel that kidnapped a Brock's friend. In the "Return of Anti-Poison" (2011), Brock can not expose the original Negative identity, believing no one will believe it. Anti-Venom started a crusade against the Negative, attacking his criminal operations. When Anti-Venom realizes that May Parker also knows the Negative identity, he decides to attack the Negatives directly before the Negatives can silence him. Brock is working with the new Spider-Man and Wraith to fight the Negatives. Wraith uses his technology to openly reveal Mister Negative is Martin Li, sending him to hide. Spider-Man and Anti-Venom call for a ceasefire for their rivalry.
In the 2011 storyline New Avengers , Brock joins Wonder Man's Revengers to destroy New Avengers. During the 2011 "Spider-Island" storyline in which 99% of New York City's population transforms into mind-controlled spiders, Brock is forced to sacrifice symbiote - and become Anti-Venom - so it can be turned into a powerful curative capable of healing millions of people infected.
Then, the new Anti-Poison is seen in a crowd of new heroes attending a "self-help" seminar organized by Roderick Kingsley (first Hobgoblin). All new heroes have been given heroic persona by Kingsley who already exist but are no longer in use. It was not shown whether the new Anti-Venom was really a symbiote or just a man with a suit designed to look like the original symbiote, but the speech bubble used for the character was created in a way to show the distortion of the character's voice. similar to the way Eddie Brock speaks when he has the symbiote of Anti-Venom.
Bonded to Toxin
Brock who is powerless back in Venom vol. 2 # 15 (2012), where he kills the Hybrid and Scream symbiotes as part of the crusade to destroy the aliens completely, believing him to be evil. After failing to kill Venom's latest, Brock was arrested by the criminal Masters criminals and forcibly bound to the Toxin symbiote. Brock (who is controlled by the Toxin symbiote) then tracks Venom and tries to kill him, but is defeated. Eddie and Venom Agent faced once more at Master's Crime Headquarters, and Flash was able to subdue the Toxin and separate Eddie from the symbiote using a flamethrower. Just before Flash can issue Eddie, the Toxin symbiote catches it and drags it into the fire. Eddie and Toxin symbiote survived the fire and tracked Flash to Philadelphia. Now in the sympote control of Toxin, he faces Flash in high school where he works as a sports teacher. After helping Flash defend the students from a group of cybernetic parasites, Eddie forms a truce with him, promising to leave Flash alone as long as he has Venom symbiote under control (similar to a truce with Spider-Man). Eddie then left Philadelphia to continue his vigilante activities.
Hunting Massacre
Against the drug cartel, Brock was approached by FBI agent Claire Dixon and invited to join the team he had assembled to hunt down and capture Cletus Kasady, who also included John Jameson, and Manuela Calderon, who survived one of Kasady's massacres, although Brock secretly plans to kill Kasady. After Kasady's defeat, Brock handed the Toxin symbiote.
Return as Venom
Eddie Brock decides to help the FBI against the new evil Venom. With the FBI and Spider-Man, Brock was able to separate symbiote from his new host, Lee Price. In the process, Spider-Man action causes symbiote to revive its previous hatred. Brock then breaks the symbiote out of the custody and bonds with it again. After stopping the robbery, Brock meets Scorpion and manages to defeat him, until symbiote takes him to church and reveals that it attacked the pastor. After finding out about the monster attack, Brock met the dinosaur in the church and found it belonged to Alchemax. Speaking with CEO Alchemax, Liz Allan, he learned that his mastermind was Stegron the Dinosaur Man. Brock later found the nest, but was found and captured by Stegron's dinosaurs. Venom discovers that the remains of Stegron's Dinosaur People experiment live in a ditch, and he must defend it from Kraven the Hunter, Shriek, and NYPD. With the help of Tana Manusia Dinosaur, Venom told the NYPD that Dinosaurs People were still living in the gutter and that they did not kill anyone. Upon hearing this, the NYPD captured Kraven the Hunter and Shriek with a police captain who stated that he would have plenty of documents to file this.
Strength and ability
Brock is human and has no superhuman strength without Symbiote. Prior to joining Symbiote, he had Olympic-level powers from doing significant repetitive weight training. After parting with Symbiote and suffering from cancer, Brock lost most of his physical muscle and had an average human strength. Brock's cancer is healed in the 2008 story "New Way to Die", and he is then shown with a great physical being restored. He also proved proficient in combat and able to use special weaponry to defeat enemies reinforced by symbiosis.
As Venom
As Venom, Brock acquired several capabilities similar to Spider-Man, the former host of Symbiote, including super power, speed, agility, and reflexes and the ability to attach most of the surface with his hands and feet. Symbiote is also capable of projecting a web-like substance from its body, similar to Spider-Man. However, this net is produced organically by Symbiote from its own mass, meaning that excessive use can weaken the alien until it is able to regenerate. The Symbiote can also transmit vines that can be used to retrieve or manipulate items remotely. When tied to the host, Symbiote allows the host to cut Spider-Man spiders, preventing heroes from feeling the attack. Symbiote is vulnerable to the danger of high-pitched sonic frequency that can cause it to be very weak or killed. The bond between Symbiote and Brock is strong enough so using sonics against Symbiote can also make Stun and kill Brock.
Venom's body is highly resistant to injuries, capable of hitting sharp weapons, bullets, and can help its host survive in hostile environments by filtering the air, allowing underwater survival and in toxic environments. Toxins can also change their appearance, create disguises at will, and disguise themselves, even imitating water. He is also able to psychically detect his offspring; However, this ability can be blocked. This meaning can be used by Brock even when separated from his suit, allowing him to detect and be detected by Symbiote and his children. Symbiote is able to heal wounds and diseases at an increasing rate, allowing the host to survive if there is no mortal damage. Symbiote and hosts are capable of sharing knowledge, Symbiote is able to pass information from previous hosts to that in the future.
As Anti-Venom
Anti-Venom was created when Martin Li's healing energy caused Brock's white blood cells and Venom's still-present Symbiote traces to combine into a new shirt of human/alien hybrid antibodies that had strong restorative capabilities. Brock was able to quickly heal significant wounds as an Anti-Venom, recovering almost instantly after being shot in the head and suffering damage to his brain. However, this healing ability can be negated by Negative Energy's energy, counteracting Martin Li's energy. Anti-Venom can detect when others are sick and "heal" or "clean" them. He is able to cure diseases from hepatitis to eliminate narcotics and even radiation from one's body. After a failed attempt to "heal" Spider-Man by removing radiation on his body, Anti-Venom now automatically cancels Spider-Man power whenever they are close to each other.
As an Anti-Venom, Brock's suit is corrosive to Venom's symbiote, causing pain and damage to his suit to cause it to dissolve. He displays capabilities similar to Venom, has superhuman powers, speeds, eliminates Spider-Man spider-sense, and is able to block the full damage of multiple weapons and knives. He is also able to expand and change settings to create a cover, shaping objects such as a shield, extending his reach, striking from a distance, and making tendrils. Anti-Venom is also immune to Symbiote Venom's weakness, showing no damage or effects from direct explosion of fire, heat and sound. The only weakness Symbiote pointed out was the highly toxic "poison super" made in direct reprisal using the remains of Anti-Venom clothing, and the energy of the Negative. "Super poison" causes the suit to dissolve immediately. Negative Sir proved able to use his energies to weaken or cancel the healing ability of the lawsuit.
