Venom is a lot of things: deadly, dastardly, mysterious… did we mention deadly? Though the Venom Symbiote has had many hosts, and a long backstory that is as confusing as it is fascinating, he has nonetheless become one of Spider-Man’s best-known villains and one of Marvels’ premier characters.
As with most comic book characters, there are often re-imaginings and different versions to a character’s past. We have chosen primarily to follow the storyline which unfolded in 1984’s Amazing Spider-Man #258 and 1985’s Web of Spider-Man #1 and which was expanded upon in 1988’s Amazing Spider-Man #300, 1995’s Venom Super-Special #1, 2009’s Venom: Dark Origin #1, and 2016’s Venom Space Knight #8 and 12.

Super villain origins hamburgler
Give up his womanizing ways? Seriously? Last I checked, women were the ones bleeding men dry through divorce, child support, and alimony. Not "womanizers"
ok so u say it sucks the life out of them then how the hell did eddie survive
Eddie Brock will always be my favorite Venom
I am shocked it took Watchmojo so long to do Venom's origin.
Didn't they do this one like 5 years ago?
spider man wasn't even bad fuck off
Venom is best and spectacular spiderman
trying to figure out why this took so long
How did they not get Brock Lesnar to play Venom? Topher Grace is a good actor, but he ain't no Venom
I think Dwayne Johnson should portray Eddie Brock…or that ridiculously huge guy from Game of Thrones

Everyone should and does already know this origin story but "Addicted to the feelings of their hosts" that's kinda deep, and I like that. I'm taking that with me
Oh, give me a break about "Spider-Man 3" already, WatchMojo. Really, give, me, a, break. -_- I personally didn't think "Spider-Man 3" was 100% terrible, and even though his role was small, I truly DID enjoy Topher Grace as Eddie Brock/Venom. The Venom part of his portrayal alone WAS faithful to the classic comic-book Venom. So why all the hate?

for all the input on spiderman ps4 everything, subscribe to evan filarca's channel, you wont regret it
isn't Venom technically a anti-hero
Never ever talk about Spider-Man 3.
I thought this series was over
I love venom!!,hopefully the mcu will do him justice!
lol this makes so much sense because my profile pic says it all, also thanks 1,000,000,000, times over very much WatchMojo for posting a video on Venom's history- it means so much to me and I can't wait till the Venom movie comes out!!!
Fuck yeah VENOM!!!
