Dylan Brock (Earth-616)

Dylan Brock is the son of Eddie Brock and Ann Weying. When Anne bonded to the Venom symbiote, she somehow became pregnant with Dylan. He was created by the symbiotes in order to destroy their god Knull and sever him from the hive-mind. Leaving him as an infant with his paternal grandfather, Carl Brock, she would eventually commit suicide as she was traumatized by what she had done as She-Venom.

Growing up, Dylan believed Carl to be his father, and was shocked to learn he had an "elder

brother" named Eddie. When Eddie came to their house to reconcile with his father, he was surprised to find out about Dylan's existence.

Dylan came to him so they could kill Carl, though later admitting he only wanted his "father" to stop physically hurting him. He decided to stay with Eddie until he had a hallucination of Knull and

When Knull arrived on Earth, Dylan fulfilled his purpose, weakening Knull's connection to the symbiotes and freeing the heroes from his possession. When Eddie, who was briefly killed by Knull, was eventually revived by the God of Light and vaporized Knull, the dark elder god tried to possess Dylan.

With his conscience trapped in the Venom symbiote's mindspace and separated from his comatose body, Dylan was confronted by an astral projection of his father. Defeating it and deciding to step out of Eddie's shadow, Venom's voice revealed to him his origins as a
