Eddie Brock

(Not to be confused with another Venom)

Eddie Brock is best known as Venom, one of Spider-Man's deadliest foes. When Spider-Man brought back to Earth what he thought was a cool new black costume turned out to be a symbiotic alien attempting to permanently bond with him, he discarded it. The symbiote found Eddie Brock, a news reporter who blamed his ruined career on Spider-Man. The two bonded, becoming Venom.

Eventually, Brock ended up in a jail cell with Cletus Kasady. When the symbiote came after him, a scrap of it enter Kasady's bloodstream, creating the psychotic Carnage.

After considering the evils that Carnage had created, Venom decided that a life of villainy was not the path they wanted to go down, and they instead became the "lethal protector" of those they deemed to be "innocent."

When Brock contracted cancer, he too discarded the symbiote, not wanting his partner to share the same fate he did. The symbiote found its way to Mac Gargan (Formerly the Scorpion) for a while, before ending up on Flash Thompson.

Thanks to the villain Mr. Negative, Brock's cancer was cured. When the symbiote tried to bond with him once again, it clashed with Negative's powers, Eddie's white blood cells created a new symbiote-like suit that could cure ailments. Dubbing himself "Anti-Venom," Brock once again became a Lethal Protector.

When Anti-Venom and Flash Thompson (as Venom) met, the Venom symbiote attempted to re-bond with Brock again. Brock became physically terrified, and Thompson recalled the symbiote, taking Brock to Reed Richards, who, with Brock's permission, dispersed the Anti-Venom symbiotic to work as a cure to the Spider-Island disease unleashed by The Jackal.

Homeless and broken, Eddie Brock obtained an arsenal to destroy all symbiotes; the Venom alien, Carnage, Carnage's offspring Toxin, Hybrid, and Scream. During this mission, he came in contact with the Toxin symbiote, which took Brock as its new host.

As Toxin, Eddie Brock offered Flash Thompson a deal: As long as he could continue doing good for the world with the Venom symbiote, he would allow the two to live.
