they say the clothes make the man but
venom takes things a bit too far
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we
will explore the comic book origins of
venom we will have bandages before we
begin we publish new videos every day so
be sure to subscribe for more great
content as with most comic book
characters there are often reimagining
in different versions to a characters
past we’ve chosen to primarily follow
the storyline which unfolded in 1984 s
amazing spider-man number 258 and 1985 s
web of spider-man number 1 which was
expanded upon in 1988 amazing spider-man
number 300 1995 venom super special
number 1 2009 venom dark origin number 1
and 2016 venom space Knight number 8 and
12 so when my venom is one of Marvel’s
most difficult to classify characters
sometimes a hero
sometimes a villain sometimes Eddie
Brock sometimes totally not but always a
force of nature
venom refers to both the black symbiote
an alien with the ability to bond to its
host as well as its most common host
Eddie Brock though the Venom symbiote
has bonded with other characters since
it was introduced in the mid 1980s to
simplify will refer to the alien without
a host as the Venom symbiote and as
venom whenever it’s bonded with Eddie
Brock Flash Thompson Mac Gargan or
anyone else who’s been venom over the
years anyway the Venom symbiote offers
its hosts enhanced abilities but
fundamentally changes their personality
and over time can suck the life out of
them curiously this bizarrely
fascinating character started out as
nothing more than a flashy new costume
for spider-man or one that was easier to
draw if you ask the artists anyway
during 1984 s secret wars crossover
spider-man suit got damaged and he soon
found himself wearing a new and strange
alien costume that had basically forced
itself onto him actually if Deadpool is
to be believed he got the symbiote first
when he repaired his costume during the
secret Wars but things didn’t work out
so the symbiote then got passed on to
the webslinger
whatever the case Spiderman eventually
found out that his costume was not a
costume at all
it was really an alien life-form that
wanted to permanently bond with him
using sonic waves from a bell tower or
his friend Reed Richards depending on
who you ask
spider-man forced
symbiotes to flee but wouldn’t you know
it the Venom symbiote had developed a
fondness for the webhead and gave up its
life to save him or not because the
Venom symbiote eventually found another
host a former journalist named Eddie
Brock who coincidentally blamed
spider-man for his fall from grace you
made me lose my jobs my health
here’s my apartment having been rejected
by Peter the symbiote also felt some
resentment towards spider-man
so when Brock and the symbiote got
together they became a killing machine
hell-bent on destroying the wall crawler
for good one that also knew his deepest
darkest secrets Eddie Brock as venom has
been a formidable foe for spider-man
ever since now we’re you spider-man
that’s why we’ve caught out the Venom
symbiote took on a number of different
hosts throughout the years though and as
it did or if its Mac story emerged for
example the Venom symbiote was just one
of an entire race of symbiote
these strange alien beings travel the
universe seeking new life-forms to bond
with when they started out they lived on
a cold and cruel world where survival of
the fittest was the rule of the land
they bonded with smaller creatures which
enabled them to protect themselves from
bigger predators in their own way the
symbiotes were protectors giving weaker
creatures the means to also survive yet
throughout the centuries many of this
strange race seems to have lost sight of
that noble goal they were essentially
born without their emotions and became
addicted to the feelings of their hosts
so rather than helping them become
stronger they took to speeding on their
hosts until they died and then moving on
to the next victim the Venom symbiote in
fact was rejected by its race and
banished to battle world which was yes
if you’ve been paying attention where
spider-man first found it because it
wanted to permanently bond with its host
instead of sucking it dry and moving on
you know kind of like a ladies man who’s
ready to finally settle down and give up
his womanizing ways anyway where were we
when it bonded with Eddie Brock to form
venom and then attacked spider-man the
symbiote saw this as heroic as it was
simply helping its hosts defeat that
which tormented it three years
eventually learned that the Venom
symbiote first host had been an evil
being who destroyed his entire world and
everyone on it
after that it tried to be a force for
good despite being influenced by the
rage and destructive nature of its first
host
when Flash Thompson became venom he was
able to help the symbiote cleanse itself
from the destructive influence of the
previous hosts after losing his legs in
the Iraq war though flash voluntarily
decided to bond with the Venom symbiote
and work as a military agent giving him
the ability to walk again
conveniently though he can only stay
bonded with the symbiote for about 48
hours before it starts to form a
permanent bond Flash Thompson as venom
is a force for good in the universe and
puts those symbiote superpowers to use
as agent venom always wanted to be the
hero now force apart
venom has become an important part of
the Marvel Universe and has been
featured in other media outside of the
comics with some portrayal being better
than others venom will star in his own
film when Tom Hardy brings him back to
the big screen in 2018 and no we do not
talk about spider-man 3 the end caps
