Venom is a lot of things: deadly, dastardly, mysterious… did we mention deadly? Though the Venom Symbiote has had many hosts, and a long backstory that is as confusing as it is fascinating, he has nonetheless become one of Spider-Man’s best-known villains and one of Marvels’ premier characters.

As with most comic book characters, there are often re-imaginings and different versions to a character’s past. We have chosen primarily to follow the storyline which unfolded in 1984’s Amazing Spider-Man #258 and 1985’s Web of Spider-Man #1 and which was expanded upon in 1988’s Amazing Spider-Man #300, 1995’s Venom Super-Special #1, 2009’s Venom: Dark Origin #1, and 2016’s Venom Space Knight #8 and 12.

  1. Well Watchmojo, at least Spider-Man 3’s Venom/Eddie Brock was better than the dumb idea of Replacing Eddie with Harry Osborn in the mediocre Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon, so beat that 😝
