*"You're saying that this whole place here, it's just tons of... super people."
"And he has been saying it for hours."
"All right. Tell me again, I'm an idiot. There was a billionaire, he had a tin suit and he could fly. Right? Okay. And there was this really angry green man."*
―Eddie Brock and Venom[src]

## Biography

### Sudden Arrival to a New Universe

*"Where are we?"*
―Eddie Brock[src]
Eddie Brock was bonded to the symbiote known as Venom and together they became the vigilante known as the Lethal Protector. Unbeknownst to Brock, in another universe, a spell cast by Doctor Strange transported people from any universe who knew Peter Parker's secret identity as Spider-Man into his own. As a result of Venom accessing a multiversal symbiote hive mind Venom became aware of Parker being Spider-Man and thus was taken out of its universe, along with its host Brock, and brought into Strange's universe. Finding themselves in a resort room, Venom and Brock saw a report on television from *The Daily Bugle* where J. Jonah Jameson showed a photo of Parker and hashly criticized Spider-Man for his actions. Upon seeing Parker's face on the television, Venom took over Brock's body and licked the television.

### Returning to His Universe

*"Señor, he made my family disappear. For five years."
"Five years? That's a long time. I mean, maybe I should go to New York and speak to this, uh... Spider-Man."*
―Bartender and Eddie Brock[src]
Brock then left the room and went to the resort's bar in an attempt to make sense of his surroundings. He conversed with a bartender and learned that he was in another universe where several individuals with superhuman abilities existed. Brock was told of Iron Man and Hulk's existences, as well as how an alien named Thanos sought to obtain the Infinity Stones and caused people to disappear. Brock did not believe the story as he believed all aliens had the singular desire to be eat brains as Venom did. The bartender took offence at this, informing Brock that Thanos caused his family to disappear for five years. Brock took sympathy on him and expressed a desire to go to New York City and meet with Spider-Man. Brock stood up to leave while Venom suggested that they go skinny dipping instead. As Brock informed Venom that they would not go skinny dipping, the bartender reminded him that he needed to pay the bill. However, Brock was swiftly transported back to his own universe as a result of Doctor Strange's spell.

## Personality

*"Now, tell me again about your purple alien that loves stones. 'Cause I'll tell you what, man, aliens, they do not love stones."
"Eddie! Don't start!"
"No, they do not love stones. Do you know what aliens love? Eating brains! Because that's what they do."*
―Eddie Brock and Venom[src]
Eddie Brock is an inquisitive individual, seeking to learn as much as he could upon being transported to another universe. However, he is not extremely open-minded, reacting skeptically when informed about the existence of Iron Man, Hulk and Thanos and refusing to believe that an alien like Thanos would seek magic stones instead of eating brains due to his experience with Venom.
