Venom, not the poisonous substance, the Spider-Man villain and a Hero/Villain in Marvel Comics. Who is Venom? Venom is referred to as anyone who wears the venom symbiote suit (mainly Eddie Brock). Because I never really heard about the other venoms (Angelo Fortunato and Mac Gargan) I will be referring mainly to Eddie Brock’s Venom. The ‘suit’ is a symbiotic being that looks like black oil or slime, it can cover a person like a suit and increase that individual’s abilities and give him the power to alter his/her appearance. But the dark side is the symbiote will eventually attach to the person permanently, not only the person, but his/her mind. It will drive the person mad and very violent.

Spider-Man found the Venom symbiote on a world called Battleworld, he used it as armor and to enhance his spider powers. When he came back to earth, he noticed that the suit won’t come off and was turning him into a dark violent monster. Spiderman fought with the suit and used its weakness of sound (Also note that fire is another weakness of Venom) to separate the symbiote. This angered the venom suit and it searched for a different host. He found that host with someone else who hated Spider-Man, a man named Eddie Brock. Thus a new villain was born, one that hated Spider-Man will all his being. A crazy villain with no concern for others. Venom.

Since the Symbiote was once joined with Spider-Man, Venom has all Spidy’s powers only much more enhanced. This made him one of Spider-Man’s most feared foes.

Venom was so popular that Marvel eventually made him somewhat of a hero. Venom (Brock’s Venom) enjoys killing people, but after he makes his peace with Spider-Man, he becomes a protector of the innocent. Also an killer of whose he finds guilty. Venom now takes pleasure in killing those who harm the innocent.

But he wasn’t voted hero was he, or perhaps the fact that he is also a ‘hero’ makes him one of our favorite villains. All, or most anyway, other forms of Venom have been evil but there was a good side of Brock’s Venom no matter how twisted it was. Venom rocks because his very presence is menacing. He just looks like a monster and killer. Also the fact that he had the same power of Spider-Man made him look awesome. There are many other reason Venom is a great villain of one of our favorite and most remembered Spider-Man characters.
