The venom symbiote is an alien from the planet Klyntar.

## Origins

Venom was born as part of the 998th generation of his family at some point long ago. At some point, he was banished from his homeworld and was sent to earth.

## Spider-Man

When he arrived on Earth, Venom bonded to Spider-Man, and gave him a black appearance, which looked like a classic Spider-Man suit, but with veins and a hood. Venom and Spider-Man fought crime together for a while, with Peter becoming more and more violent. Venom eventually attempted to eat Silvermane, forcing Peter to take him to a church clock tower, where he used the noise of the bell to force Venom off of him. Enraged and feeling betrayed, Venom moved on to a new host in order to get revenge.

## Eddie Brock

Venom eventually bonded to Eddie Brock, who had lost his photography job due to constantly trying to pursue Spider-Man, instead of taking pictures of what he was told. Due to this, Eddie blamed Spider-Man for getting fired. When Venom bonded to him, he revealed Spider-Man's identity to him.

As the two traveled the city, they stopped crimes in ways Spider-Man wouldn't, eventually attracting Dr. Octopus, who had similar ideologies. Venom was offered a position on Ock's team, The Sinister Six, and accepted it. The team then attacked Spider-Man all at once, which caused him to recruit The Chameleon and was able to defeat the team. Venom was separated from Eddie and was caught on fire, seemingly killing the symbiote.

## Masters of Evil

Eddie and Venom were eventually captured by The Masters of Evil and forced to work for them in their fight against the Avengers, but they managed to escape after their first battle with The Avengers, and fled to San Francisco.

## Appearance

When not bonded to a host, Venom appears as a mass of black goo.

When bonded to Peter Parker, He looked like the classic Symbiote suit, but with a spider symbol closer to the one Peter uses in MR, and with extra lines on the suit. Additionally, the parts where the webs come out of the wrists appeared as white spots with veins coming out of them. Finally, he had a hood.

When bonded to Eddie Brock, he became much bulkier and lost the spider symbols, having only the veins. Additionally, his eyes became bigger and gained more jagged edges. Venom also slouches over, and has a giant mouth with sharp teeth, along with claws. Essentially, he looks just like Tom Hardy's movie Venom, but slouched over.
