John Deer

==Initial Era==
John Deer first appeared in Sprinkles the Psychotic Moose Volume 1, Number 25 (1993) in a flashback. He was a reporter for the Daily Gonad. He had the scoop on a big story ("Elvis Lives") but McSpidey proved him wrong (by digging up Elvis's grave), and Deer got fired. To make matters worse, the photographer Peter Pecker sold Deer's story to the National Wonderer for good money. Deer planned revenge on both Pecker and McSpidey.
McSpidey was trying to perfect a web formula, and used pieces of alien deer carrion. The webs became alive and revolted on McSpidey. The alien web left McSpidey in search of someone with hatred for him, and found Deer. The webs gave Deer strength and powers, and they together became Venison. The webs also told Venison that Peter Pecker is McSpidey.
After the McSpidey / Venison fight in Sprinkles #25, there's another fight in Vigilante Comics Presents Number 3. John Deer is waiting for Peter Pecker at his Aunt Jemima's house. When Peter shows up, Deer walks him out and transforms into Venison. Pecker gets into costume and the two enemies fight.
