The creature ultimately [[ComicbookDeath survived]], going on to bond to a series of hosts (many that bore grudges against Spider-Man), developing from a lonely alien creature to an NinetiesAntiHero to [[ToServeMan bloodthirsty]] monstrosity, and then back to an anti-hero after being cleansed. Its popularity among creators and fans has made it among the most memorable of Spider-Man's Rogues Gallery and of Marvel's anti-heroes. Its first villainous host, Eddie Brock, became a popular anti-hero in the 1990's and received his own solo run: ''ComicBook/VenomLethalProtector''. Its third host, Mac Gargan, was the longtime Spider-Man villain known as the Scorpion; and was its host from 2003 to 2010 as a member of Norman Osborn's ''ComicBook/{{Thunderbolts}}'' and the ''ComicBook/DarkAvengers'', where he impersonated Spider-Man and even got his own solo comic, ''Dark Reign: Sinister Spider-Man''. Its fourth host was long-time Spider-Man supporting character Flash Thompson, who starred in ''[[ComicBook/RemenderAndBunnsVenom Venom]]'' Volume 2, the ''ComicBook/SecretAvengers'', and ''Thunderbolts'' Volume 2. After ''Venom'' Vol. 2 was cancelled, Flash appeared in the "Darkest Hours" ''ComicBook/SuperiorSpiderMan'' story arc, and worked with ComicBook/ScarletSpider to save the Microverse from ComicBook/{{Carnage}}. Agent Venom then went on to join the ''ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy''.

There were also a few lines he was -- usually -- unwilling to cross, such as satiating the symbiote's growing appetite for flesh by committing cannibalism.
