* BodyMotifs: Hands. He first appears in the form of a free-floating hand, and his appearance to Eddie is him literally and metaphorically lending him a hand when no-one else would.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Identifies as a black magician compared to the Beyonders' white, but takes the time to note this doesn't necessarily make him a villain any more than their being the Ivory Kings makes them good.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Appears as an end of issue glimpse when Meridius outlines what he is. He doesn't make a full bodied appearance (such as it is), until issue #18.
* FutureMeScaresMe: Meridius is terrified of becoming this guy, and everything he does is an attempt to stop that happening.
* GoodIsNotNice: While not malevolent, or even rude or unkind, he is quite blunt in telling Eddie what the score is as King in Black, brushing off Eddie's protests with "Knull said the same." There's a job that needs doing, Eddie's got it, so he might as well get with the damn program and do it.
* MeaningfulName: As he explains to Eddie, events in the timeline are now fixed so that no matter what happens (Eddie lives, Eddie dies, Eddie loses his powers) he will still come into existence.
* TheNthDoctor: [[spoiler:The absolute last of Eddie's future selves, and the inevitable end result for all of them.]]

!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''Venom'' Vol 4 #1
A powerful symbiote dragon created by Knull, the Grendel and its ilk swept across the cosmos devouring gods and annihilating civilizations. Remote-piloted by Knull, the Grendel attacked Earth alongside a red symbiote dragon (later known as Grendel's Mother or Big Mother) and was defeated by Thor, severing the dark god's connection to his creations.
Imprisoned in a glacier, the Grendel was discovered by S.H.I.E.L.D. in the 1960s and used to create a team of symbiote-augmented supersoldiers. When this backfired, the Grendel and its offshoots were locked away, with some samples of its living abyss being appropriated by the Weapon V program. Decades later, Knull awakened and indwelled the Grendel again, sending it on a rampage. It was defeated by Venom, who - with the help of Tyrannosaurus, one of its offshoots -- trapped it in a blast furnace and tried to immolate it. A surviving piece was stolen by a cult worshipping Knull, which bonded it to the corpse of Cletus Kasady, reanimating him as Dark Carnage. Seeking to restore the Grendel symbiote's deific power, Dark Carnage began hunting everyone who had ever bonded to a symbiote before [[ComicBook/AbsoluteCarnage going on a rampage across Manhattan]].
While Cletus Kasady was killed by Venom, he was successful in freeing Knull when Venom absorbed the Grendel symbiote into his own. This backfired, as while bonded to Cletus the Grendel symbiote's offshoot had been imprinted with the persona of the original Carnage symbiote, which attempted to take over Eddie.
