Venom – The Nativity | Comics

Eddie Brock is cured of a mental state of his symbiote and now back as Venom, who is getting chased by Spider-Woman.

Struggling with a metabolic disorder for some time, Eddie Brock was having an issue with his symbiote often lashing out uncontrollably and so, he sought out help from Liz Allen, C.E.O of Alchemax. She tells him that all reserve of the experimental serum developed for him was destroyed in his recent brawl with Anti-Venom and Spider-Man.

However, his symbiote's sickened state has been cured as a result of a cascading reaction when it was bonded to him and Flash Thompson lately. Happy to hear this great news, Eddie asks her out for dinner for celebrating a new beginning only to get declined but then they attempt to apprehend Looter as he was stealing from a rug store.

Seeing Venom sneaking up on him out of nowhere, he wet his pants in fear of getting maimed like before but instead of getting messy, Brock simply webs him up to hand him over to police. He is interrupted by Spider-Woman, who was keeping an eye on Looter and she clarifies her intent of taking Eddie into custody as well, leading to a fight.

While getting punched in the face, Venom asks her if Spider-Man didn't tell her about their most recent endeavor together. Despite his recent good behavior, Spider-Woman wants to bring him to justice for his past crimes and murders. This angered his symbiote, which asks Brock to fight her back but he decides to swing his way out of this.

Venom – The Nativity | Comics

He forced her to choose between saving Looter from falling to his death or chasing him and escapes thereby. Venom laments that they will not be credited for their heroic efforts and Eddie promises that he knows a better way. He talks to Jenn Kao of Fact Sheet as "Mr. Sym" to write front-page exposés on anti-hero Venom but fails anyway.

Eddie was not aware of Spider-Woman spying on him and she broke into his apartment that night by hitting him off with a Venom Blast. As she attempts to take an unconscious Brock to jail, his symbiote latched onto her and showed her many memories of its past offspring and how it needs him to be a hero until she agrees to leave him alone.

She tells Klyntar to watch over Eddie and keep him in line or she will hunt him down and it complies saying, she won't be alone. When he regained senses, his other vaguely describes to him how it made her go away by showing their secrets. Eddie Brock still suspects if his symbiote is keeping something from him and it reassures him otherwise.

In a haunting dream, he sees Carnage standing next to his deceased wife Anne Weying and Liz Allen, for a family reunion with Agony, Lasher, Phage, Riot and Scream bonded to their hosts before waking up in horror abruptly. Eddie suits up to go out for some fresh air and he came across Shocker at a jewelry shop where they fights briefly.

In another dream, he sees Liz is pushing a baby on a stroller and talking to Brock, which turns out to be a symbiote that ended up devouring her. He takes a walk to clear his mind and meets FBI Special Agent Claire Dixon, whom he thought have died fighting Carnage but she reminds how people he know have died and come back including himself.

She has apparently brought Anti-Symbiote Task Force with her to subdue him and knocks Venom out using incinerator drones. As Claire has yet to clear her intentions of capturing him, Klyntar informs Brock that they are about to spawn again. Their exchange is interrupted by Scorpion, who is here to bond with newest spawn of Venom.

New Avengers – Breakout | Comics

In wake of a major prison break at Raft, Captain America assembles an unlikely band of heroes to form New Avengers.

When Scarlet Witch lost control over her reality-altering power, it caused a series of events that took the lives of Ant-Man, Hawkeye and Vision. With a few many broken members of The Avengers left but no funding to keep them running, their team has finally been disbanded and everyone went their separate ways from then on.

Six months later, lawyer Matt Murdock and Foggy Nelson takes Luke Cage as their bodyguard to maximum-security prison Raft at Ryker's Island to see a client. They are greeted by S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Jessica Drew AKA Spider-Woman, who escorted them to inner levels underwater, all full of super-powered murdering maniacs and psychopaths.

Meanwhile, Maxwell Dillon is contacted by a guy in shadows at his cell to stage a prison break. Wearing his Electro costume, he unleashes his power that killed all generators on Raft, which frees almost every captive super-villain from their captivity and even caused a massive blackout that engulfed the nearby city of New York.

Back at his apartment, Peter Parker planned on having some free time with his wife Mary Jane Watson but his plan is cut short when everything goes dark and he sees a lightning bolt striking on Raft. So, he quickly dresses up as Spider-Man and latches onto a helicopter to get a fast ride there, which got suddenly got hit and he falls into water.

New Avengers – Breakout | Comics

He swam through freezing cold water only to be greeted by Captain America on board, who also landed on that S.H.I.E.L.D. chopper. A second explosion goes off suddenly and they see Electro fleeing with someone. Surrounded by enemies, Spidey is thrown into a gauntlet of adversaries, lost his mask and got his arm broken by Jigsaw.

Murdock asks Jessica to take him to his client and they see a scruffy-looking loner inside that cell, whom he reveals to be The Sentry, most powerful super hero on Earth and are voluntary serving a sentence for allegedly killing his wife. As they try to convince him to help them escape right now, Carnage showed up out of nowhere.

To secure his friend Foggy, Murdock throws him into cell and he eventually managed to get Sentry back in action. Breaking out of his cell door, Robert Reynolds grabs Carnage and then rips him apart after taking him straight to space. Cage and Drew managed to take down Mr. Hyde before Hydro-Man slowly starts drowning them.

They still got out joining an ensuing fight alongside Cap and Spidey, which doesn't look good at all. Iron Man drops by to catch Cap mid-air when he was thrown away by Ironclad and join the party. Luke Cage comes across his arch-nemesis Purple Man, who orders him to first kill all his hero-buddies present there and then kill himself.

He was badly beaten down by Cage in response because he was sedated and his mind-power didn't work on him until he was stopped by Cap. Things wrapped up pretty fast when Sentry returns from his short trip and next day, Steve Rogers proposes to Tony Stark about forming an Avengers team with these newly assembled heroes.

One by one, he approached Cage, Jessica and Peter Parker to help him recapture 42 escaped prisoners. With an exception of Daredevil, everyone else gladly agrees to be part of his new team and meets at Stark Tower. They took Electro into custody and found clues that lead them to Savage Land, looking for Karl Lykos AKA Sauron.

Unable to access his S.H.I.E.L.D. file, New Avengers heads to the land of dinosaurs in a Quinjet that is stomped by a Tyranasaurus moments after their arrival. As they all got split up after that, Cage and Drew encounter X-Men member, Wolverine.

New Avengers – Breakout (Softcover)

New Avengers – Breakout (Hardcover)

Following events of "Avengers Disassembled", writer Brian Michael Bendis (House of M, Secret War) and artist David Finch (Moon Knight – Midnight Sun, Moon Knight – The Bottom) was hired by Marvel Comics to work on a spin-off series titled, New Avengers and "Breakout" is its first storyline that forms the foundation of their team.

With Fantastic Four out of scene and X-Men preoccupied, there is literally no one to stop any global threat and so, the assembled heroes formed a new team that aims to be a better version of Avengers. In the mean time, capturing escaped super-villains from Raft prison break keeps them busy until they come across some real threat.

New Order of Avengers

Bendis successfully orchestrated a setting where some unlikely allies will assemble together for a single cause and bringing in 87 maniacal persona of Marvel Universe into that mix was a recipe that perfectly worked out for his plan. He also kept Spider-Woman's behavior somewhat mysterious to explore further in a later occasion.

Considering first story to debut a new series, "Breakout" spawns more secrets from friends and enemies than it actually resolves. Collecting first six issues of New Avengers monthly ongoing comic-book run, it is followed by "Sentry" up next that sees a long-awaited return of a classic superhero with a side order of a menacing terror.

Venom | Comics

An alien symbiote from Battleworld found Spider-Man as a human host and then latched to Eddie Brock and became the  most wicked of web-slingers; Venom!

The alien symbiote that bonds with a host and grant them superhuman abilities is an extraterrestrial species known as Klyntar came from Planet of the Symbiotes from a remote sector of Andromeda Galaxy. It's very first host tried to unleash a genocide using its power and it horrified them as one of Agents of the Cosmos.

Later, alien arms-dealer Haze Mancer would capture it in an attempt to weaponize by increasing aggression within it but Klyntar managed to escape from his grasp. Then Symbiote Imperium had it contained in a prison fearing contamination of gene pool that would eventually make way to Beyonder's Secret Wars.

Deadpool's Secret Secret Wars
It first came in contact with freelance mercenary Deadpool, whose time in Battleworld is forgotten to everyone. After he wore it for a brief time, Wade Wilson realizes the suit being alive and then left it believing his own insanity might affect the mind of this sentient alien being before Spider-Man came in for a costume change.

As he was trying to repair his own suit, the symbiote covered his entire body by forming a new black and white costume similar to the one previously worn by the second Spider-Woman Julia Carpenter. He also discovered soon that his new suit is capable of generating clothes for him as well as much stronger webbing.

Venom | Comics

Saga of Alien Costume
Back on Earth, Spidey realized after a while that his new costume is a sentient "Friend" from outer space and even causing him to act aggressively as it was affecting his emotions. When he approached the Fantastic Four regarding this growing issue, Reed Richards informed him that it wishes to bond with him permanently.

Learning its vulnerability to both sound and flame helped them removing it from Spidey using powerful sonic waves. It escaped and hid into his closet by disguising as his regular red and blue costume. Peter then permanently got rid of it on bell tower of Our Lady of Saints Church after the symbiote forcibly tried to bond with him again.

Deadpool: Back in Black
This act of rejection however develops a natural bitterness in it which is also passed into the symbiote’s future hosts. While Peter thought he finally destroyed it, through floor cracks Klyntar escapes and took time recovering. When attacked by alien bounty hunters Killer Thrill, Guzz, and Coldwar, it sought out Deadpool to bond with him again.

This trio of villains was hired by an Elder of the Universe named The Collector to bring the symbiote to him. Though merging with Wade Wilson saved it from being captured by those aliens, they were emotionally incompatible to co-exist and Klyntar had to leave him to go to the church it came from and prey on its next host.

Birth of a Monster
Reporter Eddie Brock was suffering with serious health issues which caused him severe anxiety. As one of his front-page exclusives on Sin-Eater blows up on his face, he got fired. Because of Spider-Man apprehending the villain and revealing what Brock insisted on was wrong, he lost his job at Daily Globe and blindly starts blaming the hero.

After a few failed suicide attempts, he starts visiting Our Lady of Saints Church regularly to ask for forgiveness from God and came in contact with the alien symbiote. It soon merges with him and took the name Venom, thus a new villain for Spider-Man was born.

His intense rage and hatred towards Spidey for troubling hm helped Klyntar bond with him on both mental and physical level. In fact, all that anger actually corrupted the being, which become ever more ferocious and bloodthirsty than it already was. Although the symbiote had a desire to bond with Peter again, he now wants to kill him instead.

It took only a while for Brock to figure out that he now possess all of Spider-Man's incredible powers and because of his already intimidating physical frame, it became more powerful than ever. Merging with his alien costume also grants him extensive knowledge on his sworn enemy as well as his precious secret identity.

Upon bonding together, Venom often referred to them as "we" noting they are two different beings becoming one. It kept Eddie alive from adrenal cancer which he was previously diagnosed with before running into all these and had a little time to live. This suit could also cancel out Spider-Man's unique spider-sense to sneak attack on him.

Birth of Venom
After taunting Spidey a couple of times, Brock decided to pay a visit to Peter's wife, Mary Jane Watson, who was terrified as a result even though she didn't harm her physically. Parker then confronted Venom with a sonic blaster from Fantastic Four but discovered Eddie has completely bonded with it after subduing his enemy.

Though Peter decided to stop using the weapon on Brock thinking it can kill him, when it caught him off guard, Venom took him to the church bell and webbed him up. With struggle, he came out of his captivity and force Venom to exhaust his webbing to a point where he couldn't regenerate more mass, leading it to be captured in a sonic containment cell.

Lethal Protector
Giving up on chasing Spider-Man and wanting to help people, Eddie Brock moves to San Francisco. He got into a fight with men sent from developer Roland Treece when trying to protect a group of homeless people who welcomed him. In their underground abode, he even tackled two exo-suit Diggers sent by Treece International.

He is soon hounded out by Orwell Taylor and group of hired mercinaries that call themselves "The Jury" for killing his son Hugh Taylor earlier while escaping Vault. He made a deal with Treece to save his skin but got tricked into getting captured.

In a secret compound of Life Foundation, their leader Carlton Drake forced him into spawning five more symbiote offspring Agony, Lasher, Phage, Riot and Scream. Spider-Man came looking for Eddie and together they manage to fend off children of Venom. Brock then heads back to California to save his underground friends from Treece.

New Ways to Die
When Norman Osborn called in his Thunderbolts team to New York, they came to stalk Spider-Man and they started with questioning Peter Parker about his bug-buddy but got nothing from him. Looking for his enemy over the city, Gargan eventually ended up at F.E.A.S.T. Center and then stumbled onto Eddie Brock, former host of the symbiote.

The symbiote tries to merge with Brock once again and he retaliated by turning into Anti-Venom. Gargan and his suit are literally crushed by their reverse counterpart and even "cured" him by completely draining him off. Osborn however, managed to restore his suit back and made him a poisonous counter using the immune system of Freak.

These two have a rematch and Gargan stung Brock with the poison that nearly killed Anti-Venom but his suit still refused to kill Eddie. This gave the white substance time to recover and it strikes back to destroy the Scorpion suit. When Osborn initiated a self-destruct sequence, they had to postpone the fight and leave to settle this some other day.

Red Goblin
When Norman Osborn bonded to Carnage symbiote and become Red Goblin, he savagely beat Spidey down before leaving him with a warning to go after his loved ones if he doesn't stop playing hero. Meanwhile, Venom showed up at Stark Tower to protect Mary Jane after J. Jonah Jameson tipped off Eddie Brock but only to spook her unwittingly.

Brock did his best to hold Red Goblin off until Spider-Man arrived and they overpowered the maniac but he managed to hurt MJ before leaving. As he tries to follow Osborn, Eddie lends his suit to fight the hybrid Goblin and even though hesitant, Spidey wore the black costume once again to defeat his worst enemy wrapped in another symbiote.

First off, he saved Liz Allan from falling off and then drove Osborn away from Harry and Liz. When Osborn electrocutes Flash Thompson as Anti-Venom for ruining his secret plan, Peter screams in rage and become Spider-Venom but Flash urges him to calm down. Before his final fight with Goblin, he drops the suit and tells it to return to Eddie.

Rex
Eddie starts having recurring nightmares from Viking Age of a monster and turns out his symbiote was the one having these bad dreams. When trying to take photos of Jack O'Lantern doing an arms deal, he lost control of the suit as it has gone berserk and starts speaking an alien language before being captured by a man named Rex Strickland.

Rex was a member of a Sym-Soldier Program that S.H.I.E.L.D. employed during Vietnam War and asks Venom to help him liberate his comrades. Though reluctant at first, Brock agrees to help him to get answers for his recent nightmares. However, his suit abandons him when he faced the Sym-Soldiers and got impaled in chest by one of them.

A symbiote-dragon called Grendel is awakened that threatens the city and he goes to confront it alone but is attacked by Spider-Man, Miles Morales. Miles mistakes him for the Venom that killed his mother but Eddie manages to convince him otherwise and these two web-slingers team-up to take down the dragon-like creature with Miles' Venom Blast.

Within the beast emerges a pale entity who introduces him as Knull, God of the Symbiotes. He is looking for a missing piece of Grendel to be free from his imprisonment on the other side of cosmos. Upon contacting Knull, Venom unlocked new abilities and confronts Rex, the missing symbiote of Grendel, Tyrannosaurus posing as his original host.

Knowing none of them could single-handedly beat Knull's avatar, they bonded together and faces the symbiote-dragon with an arsenal of high-tech weapons. They connect to the Klyntar hive mind to call Grendel for a final battle and Tyrannosaurus sacrifices itself to kill the beast using a blast furnace while Venom also died off that heat.

Originally introduced on the pages of Amazing Spider-Man, issue #252 from Marvel Comics as a new costume for arachnid superhero Spider-Man in 1984, an alien symbiote that would later take alias of Venom by debuting on issue #300 from 1988 is one of the greatest recurring enemies that everyone’s favorite wall-crawler has ever faced.

Created by artists like David Michelinie, Mike Zeck and Todd McFarlane (Haunt, Image United), Venom eventually became an anti-hero who aside from occasionally teasing Spidey would later become a vigilante as well in his own monthly ongoing comic-book series, after having numerous limited series containing misadventures of his own.

Flash Thompson Becomes Agent Venom

Immense popularity of Venom brought him into many animated adaptation of Spider-Man TV Series and games for decades. He also made a live-action appearance on 2007 live-action film Spider-Man 3, played by actor Topher Grace (Interstellar, Predators) but due to poor character development and bad use of CGI, it was heavily criticized.

Another portrayal of Venom character by actor Tom Hardy (Locke, Warrior) is seen in 2018 live-action Venom movie from Sony Pictures, adapting both "Lethal Protector" and "Planet of the Symbiotes" arc. Even before release, they have planned o bring Carnage as main villain starring Woody Harrelson (Now You See Me, Zombieland) in sequel.
