When Eddie was talking to Dr. Steven about recent behavior of his suit, Flash shows up to claim his former partner and surprisingly, it responds to him. Spider-Man watches his break in from afar and gets inside once he realize Brock is there. As both Eddie and Flash struggle to gain control over the symbiote, Spidey tries ripping parts of Klyntar.

He throws a piece of it in a nearby vat and the knocked one of them over upon learning that its liquid substance is harmful to symbiotes, which doused over and transforms part of Klyntar that bonded to Flash and made him newest Anti-Venom. He rips off Venom symbiote from Eddie before putting it into a canister and then leaves abruptly.

Since Flash was adamant on not letting go of his former host, Spider-Man invites him to an apartment that he shares with Mockingbird. Unwilling to disclose his secret identity to Thompson just yet, he suggests using Peter Parker's equipment to kill Venom symbiote but wanting to bond with it again, Flash refuses to let him do so.

Looter was sitting in a pub and gets a visit from former Venom host Lee Price wearing Mania symbiote. He infects all other patrons at the bar with gobs of symbiote biomass to turn them into his Inklings and bending them to his will. Together, they raided at Black Cat's hideout but she retaliates by telling her gang to tear them all apart.

One by one, all of her men fall prey to Price and his Made Men including Hammerhead, Killer Shrike and Scorpion. When all of her minions fell, Cat challenges Price to a one on one battle to settle scores and even she fell too.
