A lawyer employed by the Life Foundation.
----
* ActionGirl: In the final act of the film, [[spoiler:Anne bonds to the symbiote and becomes She-Venom to reunite it with Eddie Brock and save his life from Drake's thugs, even eating TheDragon in the process, and is angered when the symbiote refuses to let her help against Eddie's wishes in the fight against Riot. Following that, she finds a way to blast out a high-pitched sound from the speakers surrounding Carlton[=/=]Riot's rocket, stopping him from getting inside.]]
-->'''Anne:''' Told you I could fight ugly.
* AmicableExes: ZigZagged. While she still resents Eddie over what he did six months ago, his erratic behavior after bonding to the Venom symbiote makes her worried about him, even getting her new boyfriend to help him.
* BigDamnHeroes:
** [[spoiler:When she briefly bonds with the Venom symbiote, she saves Eddie moments before he is executed by Drake's goons]].
** During the battle between Riot and Venom, [[spoiler:the former absorbs both Venom and Eddie and is about to escape on the rocket until Anne turns on the launch site's speakers to exploit the Symbiotes' weakness to high-pitched sonic frequencies and force Riot to separate from Venom.]]
* BigDamnKiss: She lays a big wet one on Eddie [[spoiler:as She-Venom to transfer the Venom Symbiote back to him]].
* TheCavalry: [[spoiler:Using the Venom symbiote, she rescues Eddie as he's about to be executed by Treece and his men.]]
* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: [[spoiler:When Venom briefly takes over her body, she does not go by She-Venom.]]
* TheConfidant: After she witnesses Venom fighting a bunch of cops, Eddie ends up confiding in her about the Venom symbiote, [[EvilMeScaresMe his concerns regarding its influence over him]], and that [[EvilFeelsGood he's starting to enjoy its power]].
* CuteMonsterGirl: [[spoiler: When she briefly bonds with Venom, the end result has a very shapely figure, in sharp contrast to the bulky build Venom has when it envelops Eddie.]]
* DamselInDistress: At the climax of ''Let There Be Carnage'', [[spoiler: Kasady takes her hostage to force Eddie to confront him at the chapel.]]
* EvilFeelsGood: Despite being disgusted by the Venom symbiote's bloodlust, [[spoiler:Anne tells Eddie that part of her reveled in the power that it gave her.]]
* HelloAttorney: Anne is a lawyer whose firm is employed by Dr. Carlton Drake, which Eddie teasingly chides her over during a date.
* HeroicHost: She briefly bonds to the Venom symbiote in order to rescue Eddie, eating Roland Treece's head in the process.
* InformedAttribute: Anne works as a lawyer on behalf of the Life Foundation, but is never seen practicing law at any point in the film, even after the TimeSkip.
* KissingUnderTheInfluence: [[spoiler: When infected with the symbiote, she kisses Eddie, making him Venom again. When he brings up the kiss at the end of the movie, she claims it to have been the symbiote's idea, but there is noticeable insecurity in her words. Not helping is the fact that she doesn't want to tell her current boyfriend about that.]]
* MsFanservice: [[spoiler:As She-Venom, since she appears in a very curvaceous form just like her comic counterpart, [[ButterFace monstrous head notwithstanding]]]].
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Later on at the end of the movie when questioned on why she kissed Eddie as [[spoiler:She-Venom]], she becomes very flustered and defensive stating that it was all the [[spoiler: symbiote]], not her. Given that [[spoiler:Venom doesn't take full control of his hosts even when he's fully manifested, and at the very least doesn't influence or control their minds, this was most likely a case of MoreThanMindControl as while Venom (who stated that he likes her and by the end is an active ShipperOnDeck for Eddie and Anne)]] may have influenced her and taken down her inhibitions somewhat, while also making her more aggressive, it's heavily implied that the decision to kiss was all Anne and she still very much cares about Eddie. In the second film [[spoiler:after transferring from her and back to Eddie Venom suggests that he kisses her and Eddie asks if she's going to kiss him again, and while she at first tells him no she eventually says that she isn't sure while walking away]].
* WhatTheHellHero: Eddie breaking into her laptop and using a confidential e-mail to accuse Carlton Drake of murder gets her fired, whereupon she furiously berates Eddie for the flaws she's previously put up with because she loved him.

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mrschen.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''"You look like shit."'']]
!!!'''Species:''' Human
!!!'''Citizenship:''' American
!!!'''Affiliation(s):''' Chen's Market
!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/PeggyLu
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/{{Venom|2018}}'' | ''Chen's Market'' | ''Film/VenomLetThereBeCarnage'' | ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse''[[note]]archive footage[[/note]]

A Chinese woman who runs a convenience store that Eddie Brock frequents.
----
* AsianStoreOwner: She's a Chinese convenience store owner who tries to peddle her cousin's meditation videos to her customers, though she's frequently robbed by a thug who runs an extortion racket.
* BrutalHonesty: She bluntly tells Eddie he "looks like shit" the second she sees his face after he's been fired from his job and dumped by Anne.
* TheCameo: She makes a small appearance in ''Across the Spider-Verse'' in a live-action sequence.
* CanonForeigner: Doesn't have a comic book equivalent.
* ForeignLanguageTirade: She rants in Mandarin when frustrated.
* InnocentBystander: Is on the receiving end of a protection racket by a thug that regularly collects money from her at gunpoint.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: In ''Let There Be Carnage'', she's abrasive and (weakly) extorts Eddie and Venom. When a weakened Venom arrives at her doorstep in a different host and confesses that he and Eddie separated, she's very concerned, hugs the symbiote and lets him possess her temporarily.
* OddFriendship: Despite just being one of her customers, she does seem to care about Eddie and Venom. In ''Chen's Market'' they help her make a video to advertise her store while in ''Let There Be Carnage'' she offers Eddie chocolate so that Venom's cravings can be managed, though she weakly attempts to extort him and Venom for more protection, and later in the film she lets a weakened Venom possess her so that he won't die.
* RunningGag: Every time Eddie enters her store, she notes he looks like crap and asks if he's been meditating.
* SeenItAll: She gets so used to interacting with bizarre shit that she doesn't even bat an eye when a trans-dimensional villain from another universe pops out of a portal and robs her store.
-->'''Spot:''' I'm ''literally'' splitting the fabric of space and time. To you it's just a Tuesday night. You're acting like weird stuff like this happens to you all the time.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. When Venom takes care of the thug extorting her, she seems more concerned about the fact that ''Eddie'' was that big black thing than the fact that a man just got eaten in front of her. Meanwhile in ''Across'' she has no reaction to seeing a completely blank man covered in black portals from another dimension appearing right in front of her through a portal and robs her.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Claims to be thirty-nine in the second film despite her actress being almost sixty. Venom doesn't believe it.

!!!'''Species:''' Human
!!!'''Citizenship:''' American
!!!'''Affiliation(s):''' MNBN
!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/RonCephasJones
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/{{Venom|2018}}''

Eddie Brock's boss at the MNBN broadcasting network.
----
* BenevolentBoss: He kept Eddie in for quite some time despite the latter pushing his investigation journalism shtick far enough to spell trouble for the network. Until Eddie's interview of Carlton Drake went awry, that is. [[spoiler:When Eddie backs his claims up with photographic evidence of the Life Foundation's illicit experiments, he offers Eddie his job back, though Eddie turns him down.]]
* DaEditor: He manages the news network in which Eddie works, and tries to keep the latter on a leash, because CuriosityIsACrapshoot. He ends up firing Eddie after his "interview" of Carlton Drake, since the billionaire surely doesn't like being investigated upon and is powerful enough to have the network shut down.
* GoodIsDumb: Even if he does seem to be a NiceGuy all in all, it never occurs to him that maybe his reporters might discover very important information needed to protect the public by investigating a company more thoroughly. He admonishes Eddie for going too deep in interrogating Drake for allegations against the Life Foundation that most of its test subjects have perished in the experiments and that their deaths are being covered up. Rather than simply give Eddie a warning, he outright fires him to appease Drake, who's rich enough to buy MNBN and put it out of business.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: He is not in the movie that much, but him firing Eddie for speaking out against Drake started a chain reaction of events that turned Eddie's life upside-down.

!!!'''Citizenship:''' American
!!!'''Affiliation(s):''' N/A
!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/ReidScott
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/{{Venom|2018}}'' | ''Film/VenomLetThereBeCarnage''

Anne's new boyfriend following her breakup with Eddie.
----
* BewareTheNiceOnes: To most people, he's a kind, rational doctor. [[spoiler:To those that kidnap his girlfriend, he's the guy who just ''lit them on fire''.]]
* HeKnowsTooMuch: Venom at one point tried killing him for explaining to Eddie that Venom, out of desperate hunger, tried eating his heart out literally.
* LoveTriangle: He replaces Eddie as Anne's boyfriend, making Eddie jealous. Unusually for this trope, however, he and Eddie bear no actual ill will towards each other, and he treats Eddie like one of his patients when Eddie shows symptoms of Venom.
* NiceGuy: When Eddie makes a scene in a restaurant as a result of his symbiote-induced hunger, Dan insists that Eddie is his patient and tells the waitress not to call the cops. Overall, he is rather nice to Eddie and doesn't treat him as a love rival. That being said, Eddie still doesn't like him much. [[spoiler:Although Venom does wish him to take care in the second movie.]]
* OnlySaneMan: When Eddie has a Venom-instigated public freak-out in a fancy restaurant, Dr. Dan responds with professional concern that Eddie must be very ill. When Anne tries to reassure him she is not going back with Eddie, he is more concerned about the alien lifeform that is apparently killing Eddie to really care about that.
* RichSuitorPoorSuitor: The rich to Eddie's poor when it comes to dating Anne. Having been fired, Anne appears to look to Dan who is a medical doctor as her new breadwinner once she dumps Eddie, who was also fired. Venom offers to help Eddie get Anne back from Dan, but Eddie decides to stay single for now.
* RightForTheWrongReasons: Correctly assumes that Eddie pleading to Anne for help before diving into a lobster tank and eating one raw is a sign of extreme mental distress rather than malice, and even gets the idea that Eddie might be suffering from a parasite, though he doesn't have any idea the symbiotes exist.
* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:When Carnage kidnaps Anne, and is busily beating the crap out of Eddie and Venom, Dan unexpectedly shows up to pour fire on him from a catwalk above the fight]].
* TookALevelInJerkass: Downplayed AND justified. He is a little more irritable and impatient with Anne and Eddie in the second movie, annoyed with Eddie causing trouble and Anne lying to him. However that's because he was told that Venom and the rest of the aliens are dead, and it's because of Eddie and Venom that there is another dangerous alien which forces him and Anne to try and flee from San Francisco. He still helps Eddie and Venom out in the [[spoiler:final battle, however.]]
* TwoFirstNames: '''Dan''' and '''Lewis''' are both common as given names.
* WhateverHappenedToTheMouse: He disappears from the third act of the first film. He reappears in the second and [[spoiler: even plays a major role in the final fight.]]

!!!'''Species:''' Human
!!!'''Citizenship:''' American
!!!'''Affiliation(s):''' N/A
!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/MeloraWalters
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/{{Venom|2018}}''

A homeless woman who sits outside Mrs. Chen's convenience store. She is abducted by the Life Foundation and becomes the Venom symbiote's first human host, but proves incompatible and dies after it transfers to Eddie.
----
* ChekhovsGunman: She is established as being friends with Eddie, who gives her some money despite being down-on-his-luck himself. The next time he passes by the convenience store, Maria is gone, but her possessions are still on the ground. The next time Eddie sees her, she's within the Life Foundation's secure labs, having already been infected with the Venom symbiote.
* DeadpanSnarker: She's introduced having a good-humored snarky conversation with Eddie about her habit of stealing free newspapers and selling them for five dollars apiece.
* DisposableVagrant: Maria is one of several homeless people kidnapped by Drake and his men to serve as hosts for the symbiotes (it's implied she was bribed with money), though the trope is downplayed since Eddie clearly doesn't think so; he goes to save her as soon as he recognizes her, and it's her transferring Venom to Eddie that results in the collapse of the Life Foundation's Symbiote project.
* NiceGirl: What we do know of her is that she and Eddie have a friendly relationship, and she's got a sense of humour despite her situation, with the two of them quipping back and forth about her "five dollar delivery service" of free newspapers taken from a stand not five feet away from her.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: She only appears twice, but Eddie would have left the Life Foundation without Venom had he not recognized Maria and tried to free her.
* TaintedVeins: Being infected by the Venom symbiote leaves her with pronounced black veins around her eyes.

!!!'''Species:''' Human
!!!'''Citizenship:''' American
!!!'''Affiliation(s):''' San Francisco Police Department
!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/StephenGraham
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/VenomLetThereBeCarnage''

A detective for the SFPD who hassles Eddie over his interviews with Cletus Kasady.
----
* AdaptationalJerkass: In the comics, he was a more heroic cop and Venom was the one who was antagonistic towards him, with Spider-Man considering Pat/Toxin to be his first genuine symbiote ally, despite previous team ups with Venom. In this movie, he's a moderately dislikable InspectorJavert character who's still on the side of the law, but takes every opportunity he can to make accusations towards Eddie.
* CreateYourOwnVillain: He shot out a young Shriek's left eye, which causes her to immensely hate him, and is what got him kidnapped in the finale.
* DisneyDeath: He presumably gets his neck snapped by Shriek, but later wakes up alive and with bright blue eyes.
* FriendOnTheForce: Downplayed. While he and Eddie work together to find Kasady's bodies and meet and call each other several times, they have a shaky relationship and he later drags Eddie into questioning.
* HandicappedBadass: He wears a hearing aid due to an encounter with Shriek that irreparably damaged his hearing. Doesn't make him any less capable, though.
* HeroAntagonist: He's initially an ally to Eddie, albeit a mildly douchey one, but later has him put into police custody.
* InspectorJavert: He ends up suspecting Eddie and trying to arrest him.
* JerkassHasAPoint: While antagonistic towards Eddie, he does make a point that Eddie had connections to both the Life Foundation and Carnage, and that it's too suspicious to be a mere coincidence.

!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/{{Venom|2018}}'' | ''Film/VenomLetThereBeCarnage'' [[note]] On a magazine [[/note]]

An old man whom Eddie Brock and Venom meet after defeating Carlton Drake and Riot.
----
* AmbiguouslyHuman: As noted in AmbiguousSituation, the fact the SSU connects to the MCU means that he might not be human.
* AmbiguousSituation: May or may not be the same entity as [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2 The Watcher Informant]]. Especially so, considering that ''Film/VenomLetThereBeCarnage'' connects this world to the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse by having Eddie Brock and Venom summoned by Doctor Strange. Otherwise, he could just be an AlternateSelf.
* AsHimself: AmbiguousSituation aside, ''Let There Be Carnage'' implies that Stan Lee was playing himself in the first film.
* TheCameo: Because this is TheCameo/StanLee we're talking about.
** ''Film/{{Venom|2018}}'': He is walking his dog in the streets of San Francisco before stopping to talk with Eddie Brock, encouraging him (and Venom somehow) to not give up on Anne Weying.
** ''Film/VenomLetThereBeCarnage'': While he doesn't appear in person (Lee had passed away long before filming began), a picture of his face is seen a magazine in display on Mrs. Chen's shop and Venom prevents it from falling with one of his tendrils.
* CoolShades: It wouldn't be a Stan the Man cameo without those sunglasses.
* ShipperOnDeck: He encourages Eddie (and Venom somehow) to not give up on Anne, who previously dumped Eddie to pursue a relationship with Dr. Dan Lewis.

----
* TheAtoner: Tries to stop the experiments and make things right, upon realizing Drake is going too far.
* BeingGoodSucks: Deciding to do the right thing ultimately gets her killed.
* BespectacledCutie: She wears thick and round glasses, which make her shy and concerned personality actually endearing and pitiful.
* BigNo: Her last words.
* CannotTellALie: Apparent when a security guard questions her at the Life Foundation. She bluffs, but is terrible at it.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Drake feeds her to the dark blue symbiote after interrogating her.
* DefectorFromDecadence: After successfully bonding the yellow symbiote to a rabbit, she's horrified when Drake decides to immediately jump to human testing. Her growing discomfort causes her to sneak Eddie into the lab, though her role is ultimately exposed.
* EatenAlive: She gets eaten off-screen by the dark blue symbiote, which Drake sicced on her for helping Venom escape.
* EveryoneHasStandards: She reaches her breaking point when her boss's practice of feeding [[DisposableVagrant homeless innocents]] to the symbiotes in an attempt to find good hosts ends up with a lot of people dead. She specifically goes to Eddie about it because she knows he cares about the lives of innocents as well.
* IncrediblyObviousTail: Eddie accuses her of being one when confronting her in Mrs. Chen's convenience store.
* MamaBear: Has two children who she adores and desperately wants to protect.
* NiceGirl: She's the only one of the Life Foundation scientists who shows any concern about their callous human experimentation, whistleblows out of her genuine moral concern for what her boss is doing, is terrible at lying, and loves her two children very much.
* NotWhatISignedUpFor: She claims that she happily worked for the Life Foundation back when they were working on making progress in medicine, but eventually tries to expose Drake's unlawful human testing practices when they start experimenting with the symbiotes.
* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: Drake uses this as justification for having her killed after she sneaks Eddie into the Life Foundation HQ.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: She's a scientist working for a huge corporation who wears a pair of specs.
* YouHaveFailedMe: After Drake gets her to tell him who she let into the lab, he has her used as a test subject for the dark blue symbiote, which eats her from the inside-out.

* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Later on at the end of the movie when questioned on why she kissed Eddie as [[spoiler:She-Venom]], she becomes very flustered and defensive stating that it was all the [[spoiler: symbiote]], not her. Given that [[spoiler:Venom doesn't take full control of his hosts even when he's fully manifested, and at the very least doesn't influence or control their minds, this was most likely a case of MoreThanMindControl as while Venom (who stated that he likes her and by the end is an active ShipperOnDeck for Eddie and Anne)]] may have influenced her and taken down her inhibitions somewhat, while also making her more aggressive, it's heavily implied that the decision to kiss was all Anne and she still very much cares about Eddie. In the second film [[spoiler:after transferring from her and back to Eddie Venom suggests that he kisses her and Eddie asks if she's going to kiss him again, and while she at first tells him no she eventually says that she isn't sure while walking away]].
* WhatTheHellHero: Eddie breaking into her laptop and using a confidential e-mail to accuse Carlton Drake of murder gets her fired, whereupon she furiously berates Eddie for the flaws she's previously put up with because she loved him.

A Chinese woman who runs a convenience store that Eddie Brock frequents.
----
* AsianStoreOwner: She's a Chinese convenience store owner who tries to peddle her cousin's meditation videos to her customers, though she's frequently robbed by a thug who runs an extortion racket.
* BrutalHonesty: She bluntly tells Eddie he "looks like shit" the second she sees his face after he's been fired from his job and dumped by Anne.
* TheCameo: She makes a small appearance in ''Across the Spider-Verse'' in a live-action sequence.
* CanonForeigner: Doesn't have a comic book equivalent.
* ForeignLanguageTirade: She rants in Mandarin when frustrated.
* InnocentBystander: Is on the receiving end of a protection racket by a thug that regularly collects money from her at gunpoint.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: In ''Let There Be Carnage'', she's abrasive and (weakly) extorts Eddie and Venom. When a weakened Venom arrives at her doorstep in a different host and confesses that he and Eddie separated, she's very concerned, hugs the symbiote and lets him possess her temporarily.
* OddFriendship: Despite just being one of her customers, she does seem to care about Eddie and Venom. In ''Chen's Market'' they help her make a video to advertise her store while in ''Let There Be Carnage'' she offers Eddie chocolate so that Venom's cravings can be managed, though she weakly attempts to extort him and Venom for more protection, and later in the film she lets a weakened Venom possess her so that he won't die.
* RunningGag: Every time Eddie enters her store, she notes he looks like crap and asks if he's been meditating.
* SeenItAll: She gets so used to interacting with bizarre shit that she doesn't even bat an eye when a trans-dimensional villain from another universe pops out of a portal and robs her store.
-->'''Spot:''' I'm ''literally'' splitting the fabric of space and time. To you it's just a Tuesday night. You're acting like weird stuff like this happens to you all the time.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. When Venom takes care of the thug extorting her, she seems more concerned about the fact that ''Eddie'' was that big black thing than the fact that a man just got eaten in front of her. Meanwhile in ''Across'' she has no reaction to seeing a completely blank man covered in black portals from another dimension appearing right in front of her through a portal and robs her.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Claims to be thirty-nine in the second film despite her actress being almost sixty. Venom doesn't believe it.

Eddie Brock's boss at the MNBN broadcasting network.
----
* BenevolentBoss: He kept Eddie in for quite some time despite the latter pushing his investigation journalism shtick far enough to spell trouble for the network. Until Eddie's interview of Carlton Drake went awry, that is. [[spoiler:When Eddie backs his claims up with photographic evidence of the Life Foundation's illicit experiments, he offers Eddie his job back, though Eddie turns him down.]]
* DaEditor: He manages the news network in which Eddie works, and tries to keep the latter on a leash, because CuriosityIsACrapshoot. He ends up firing Eddie after his "interview" of Carlton Drake, since the billionaire surely doesn't like being investigated upon and is powerful enough to have the network shut down.
* GoodIsDumb: Even if he does seem to be a NiceGuy all in all, it never occurs to him that maybe his reporters might discover very important information needed to protect the public by investigating a company more thoroughly. He admonishes Eddie for going too deep in interrogating Drake for allegations against the Life Foundation that most of its test subjects have perished in the experiments and that their deaths are being covered up. Rather than simply give Eddie a warning, he outright fires him to appease Drake, who's rich enough to buy MNBN and put it out of business.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: He is not in the movie that much, but him firing Eddie for speaking out against Drake started a chain reaction of events that turned Eddie's life upside-down.

Anne's new boyfriend following her breakup with Eddie.
----
* BewareTheNiceOnes: To most people, he's a kind, rational doctor. [[spoiler:To those that kidnap his girlfriend, he's the guy who just ''lit them on fire''.]]
* HeKnowsTooMuch: Venom at one point tried killing him for explaining to Eddie that Venom, out of desperate hunger, tried eating his heart out literally.
* LoveTriangle: He replaces Eddie as Anne's boyfriend, making Eddie jealous. Unusually for this trope, however, he and Eddie bear no actual ill will towards each other, and he treats Eddie like one of his patients when Eddie shows symptoms of Venom.
* NiceGuy: When Eddie makes a scene in a restaurant as a result of his symbiote-induced hunger, Dan insists that Eddie is his patient and tells the waitress not to call the cops. Overall, he is rather nice to Eddie and doesn't treat him as a love rival. That being said, Eddie still doesn't like him much. [[spoiler:Although Venom does wish him to take care in the second movie.]]
* OnlySaneMan: When Eddie has a Venom-instigated public freak-out in a fancy restaurant, Dr. Dan responds with professional concern that Eddie must be very ill. When Anne tries to reassure him she is not going back with Eddie, he is more concerned about the alien lifeform that is apparently killing Eddie to really care about that.
* RichSuitorPoorSuitor: The rich to Eddie's poor when it comes to dating Anne. Having been fired, Anne appears to look to Dan who is a medical doctor as her new breadwinner once she dumps Eddie, who was also fired. Venom offers to help Eddie get Anne back from Dan, but Eddie decides to stay single for now.
* RightForTheWrongReasons: Correctly assumes that Eddie pleading to Anne for help before diving into a lobster tank and eating one raw is a sign of extreme mental distress rather than malice, and even gets the idea that Eddie might be suffering from a parasite, though he doesn't have any idea the symbiotes exist.
* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:When Carnage kidnaps Anne, and is busily beating the crap out of Eddie and Venom, Dan unexpectedly shows up to pour fire on him from a catwalk above the fight]].
* TookALevelInJerkass: Downplayed AND justified. He is a little more irritable and impatient with Anne and Eddie in the second movie, annoyed with Eddie causing trouble and Anne lying to him. However that's because he was told that Venom and the rest of the aliens are dead, and it's because of Eddie and Venom that there is another dangerous alien which forces him and Anne to try and flee from San Francisco. He still helps Eddie and Venom out in the [[spoiler:final battle, however.]]
* TwoFirstNames: '''Dan''' and '''Lewis''' are both common as given names.
* WhateverHappenedToTheMouse: He disappears from the third act of the first film. He reappears in the second and [[spoiler: even plays a major role in the final fight.]]

A homeless woman who sits outside Mrs. Chen's convenience store. She is abducted by the Life Foundation and becomes the Venom symbiote's first human host, but proves incompatible and dies after it transfers to Eddie.
----
* ChekhovsGunman: She is established as being friends with Eddie, who gives her some money despite being down-on-his-luck himself. The next time he passes by the convenience store, Maria is gone, but her possessions are still on the ground. The next time Eddie sees her, she's within the Life Foundation's secure labs, having already been infected with the Venom symbiote.
* DeadpanSnarker: She's introduced having a good-humored snarky conversation with Eddie about her habit of stealing free newspapers and selling them for five dollars apiece.
* DisposableVagrant: Maria is one of several homeless people kidnapped by Drake and his men to serve as hosts for the symbiotes (it's implied she was bribed with money), though the trope is downplayed since Eddie clearly doesn't think so; he goes to save her as soon as he recognizes her, and it's her transferring Venom to Eddie that results in the collapse of the Life Foundation's Symbiote project.
* NiceGirl: What we do know of her is that she and Eddie have a friendly relationship, and she's got a sense of humour despite her situation, with the two of them quipping back and forth about her "five dollar delivery service" of free newspapers taken from a stand not five feet away from her.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: She only appears twice, but Eddie would have left the Life Foundation without Venom had he not recognized Maria and tried to free her.

A detective for the SFPD who hassles Eddie over his interviews with Cletus Kasady.
----
* AdaptationalJerkass: In the comics, he was a more heroic cop and Venom was the one who was antagonistic towards him, with Spider-Man considering Pat/Toxin to be his first genuine symbiote ally, despite previous team ups with Venom. In this movie, he's a moderately dislikable InspectorJavert character who's still on the side of the law, but takes every opportunity he can to make accusations towards Eddie.
* CreateYourOwnVillain: He shot out a young Shriek's left eye, which causes her to immensely hate him, and is what got him kidnapped in the finale.
* DisneyDeath: He presumably gets his neck snapped by Shriek, but later wakes up alive and with bright blue eyes.
* FriendOnTheForce: Downplayed. While he and Eddie work together to find Kasady's bodies and meet and call each other several times, they have a shaky relationship and he later drags Eddie into questioning.
* HandicappedBadass: He wears a hearing aid due to an encounter with Shriek that irreparably damaged his hearing. Doesn't make him any less capable, though.
* HeroAntagonist: He's initially an ally to Eddie, albeit a mildly douchey one, but later has him put into police custody.
* InspectorJavert: He ends up suspecting Eddie and trying to arrest him.
* JerkassHasAPoint: While antagonistic towards Eddie, he does make a point that Eddie had connections to both the Life Foundation and Carnage, and that it's too suspicious to be a mere coincidence.

* AmbiguousSituation: May or may not be the same entity as [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2 The Watcher Informant]].

** ''Film/{{Venom|2018}}'': He is walking his dog in the streets of San Francisco before stopping to talk with Eddie Brock, encouraging him (and Venom somehow) to not give up on Anne Weying.
** ''Film/VenomLetThereBeCarnage'': While he doesn't appear in person (Lee had passed away long before filming began), a picture of his face is seen a magazine in display on Mrs. Chen's shop and Venom prevents it from falling with one of his tendrils.
* CoolShades: It wouldn't be a Stan the Man cameo without those sunglasses.

* BigNo: Her last words.
* CannotTellALie: Apparent when a security guard questions her at the Life Foundation. She bluffs, but is terrible at it.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Drake feeds her to the dark blue symbiote after interrogating her.
* DefectorFromDecadence: After successfully bonding the yellow symbiote to a rabbit, she's horrified when Drake decides to immediately jump to human testing. Her growing discomfort causes her to sneak Eddie into the lab, though her role is ultimately exposed.
* EatenAlive: She gets eaten off-screen by the dark blue symbiote, which Drake sicced on her for helping Venom escape.
* EveryoneHasStandards: She reaches her breaking point when her boss's practice of feeding [[DisposableVagrant homeless innocents]] to the symbiotes in an attempt to find good hosts ends up with a lot of people dead. She specifically goes to Eddie about it because she knows he cares about the lives of innocents as well.
* IncrediblyObviousTail: Eddie accuses her of being one when confronting her in Mrs. Chen's convenience store.
* MamaBear: Has two children who she adores and desperately wants to protect.
* NiceGirl: She's the only one of the Life Foundation scientists who shows any concern about their callous human experimentation, whistleblows out of her genuine moral concern for what her boss is doing, is terrible at lying, and loves her two children very much.
* NotWhatISignedUpFor: She claims that she happily worked for the Life Foundation back when they were working on making progress in medicine, but eventually tries to expose Drake's unlawful human testing practices when they start experimenting with the symbiotes.

* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: She's a scientist working for a huge corporation who wears a pair of specs.
