* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: In ''Venom'' Vol. 4 #6, Eddie thinks to himself that he'd rather have a rematch with Knull than sit through Dylan's barrage of countless questions. As for the sibling part, he's Eddie's adoptive brother ''and'' biological son.
* AntiAntiChrist: Played with; he has unprecedented control over symbiotes while immune to being bonded with them and is slowly being corrupted by Knull yet, at the same time, he's just as willing to side with Eddie against Knull and his forces.
* AudienceSurrogate: The questions and comments he barrages Eddie with in ''Venom'' Vol. 4 #6 echo many that Venom fans have asked over the years.
* TheBeastmaster: His nature as a human codex seems to give him the ability to control symbiotes. He instinctively mind-controls Sleeper to turn him into an AngryGuardDog, and later manages to splatter Norman Osborn's portion of the Grendel symbiote with a hand gesture.
* BigBrotherBully: In ''Web of Venom: The Good Son'', [[spoiler:Dylan tells Liz Allan that he sees Normie Osborn as a little brother, though he begins tormenting and threatening Normie -- who he'd previously been good friends with]].
* BigBrotherWorship: Dylan might snark at Eddie's expense, but Dylan clearly idolizes him for being the only family member he really has as well as being a badass.
* ChestInsignia: [[spoiler:His symbol as Venom brings to mind one the Symbiote dragons]].
* ChildByRape: Dylan was [[MysticalPregnancy conceived]] when Anne's Venom symbiote codex from her transformation into She-Venom bonded to a fetus,[[note]]Although how she'd have a fetus in her womb without having had sex is a mystery unto itself.[[/note]] Anne was traumatized by suddenly becoming pregnant without having had sex, which presumably contributed to her fear of the symbiote and decision to kill herself.
* TheCorruptible: In ''Web of Venom: The Good Son'', [[spoiler:Dylan succumbs to Knull's influence and swears fealty to the King in Black, bonding to a piece of the Carnage symbiote and attacking Normie Osborn]].
* DidntThinkThisThrough: On one hand, Dylan's plan to free the symbiotes to attack The Maker was pretty ingenious. On the other, he didn't expect the symbiotes to all bond to the guy he sicced them on. Cue Dylan and Normie running for their lives.
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: When [[MadScientist The Maker]] wants to stick Normie in a machine to extract his codex, Dylan jumps in front and tells him off, saying that Spider-Man and Venom won't like it if he did what they told him not to do. This kid stood up to one of the most evil characters in the Marvel Universe and lived to tell of it (albeit with the threat of Eddie looming over him).
* ExactlyWhatIAimedAt: Pulls this on The Maker of all people when he points a gun at The Maker, only to reveal that he was actually aiming at the glass containers containing the Knull-infested Hybrid symbiotes, freeing them and siccing them on The Maker.
* EyeColorChange: When cornered by Hybrid in ''Venom'' Vol. 4 #18, Dylan's eyes turn solid black as his symbiote powers activate for the first time. As he gets even more angry, the tell-tale red swirl of Knull can be seen in them, suggesting that he is a direct conduit to Knull's powers.
* FamilyRelationshipSwitcheroo: Dylan was initially led to believe that Carl Brock was his father and Eddie was his half-brother, only to later learn that Carl is actually his grandpa and Eddie is his dad.
* GrinOfAudacity: Sports one when he breaks the Knull-boosted Hybrid symbiote free to attack The Maker.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Ever since Dylan's initial appearance, Donny Cates has hinted that Dylan isn't entirely human. [[spoiler:''Absolute Carnage'' #2 reveals that he is Anne Weying's Venom codex incarnated as a human, making him a human-symbiote hybrid.]]
* HeroesLoveDogs: Subverted. When he learns that he can control Sleeper, he instinctively turns him into a savage wolf. After this, he admits he isn't much of a dog person, and Sleeper decides to take the form of a cat instead.
* InnocentBlueEyes: Downplayed. Thanks to his abusive father, Dylan is no stranger to things that are HarmfulToMinors. Even still, his bright blue eyes emphasize his youthful naivete and optimism in contrast to Eddie's world-weariness.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Just like Eddie, Dylan can be abrasive, snarky, and often speaks without thinking, asking Eddie to kill Carl without really meaning it. He also refers to Spider-Man as a "menace", taking after his father's animosity for him. But Dylan has a good heart and stands up for Normie against The Maker.
* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: Once he properly introduces himself to Eddie, he's ecstatic that he's related to Venom.
* LegacyCharacter: [[spoiler:Becomes the newest Venom at the end of ''ComicBook/DonnyCatesVenom'' after being completely freed from Knull's influence. This is also due to Eddie's aging after becoming the God of Symbiotes.]]
* MagicalEyeStreamers: When his powers activate in ''Venom'' Vol. 4 #18, his eyes turn solid black with smokey black tendrils writhing in the outside corners.
* MissingMom: It's eventually revealed that his mother is Anne Weying, who promised she'd return for him when leaving him at Carl Brock's house but later committed suicide.
* MoralityPet: After he and Eddie go on the run together, all of Eddie's actions are motivated by a desire to keep Dylan safe, happy, and healthy while trying to be a decent role model for him.
* MouthyKid: He can be foul-mouthed and snarky, rarely thinking before he speaks. But he's a sweet kid at heart who idolizes Eddie.
* RemoteBody: He discovers that he can mentally indwell symbiotes, something only Knull could ever do before, and uses it to inhabit Venom and turn them into a ''T. rex''.
* TheRunaway: He runs away from home in ''Venom'' Vol. 4 #6, intending to live with Eddie -- who is quick to dissuade him, given that he's homeless, broke, traumatized by PTSD, and suffering from hallucinations of Knull.
* SelfMadeOrphan: Invoked when he asks Eddie to kill Carl Brock, [[AbusiveParents who beat him up and broke his arm in a fit of rage]] following Eddie's return, and has beaten him before. Ultimately, he doesn't really mean it and is revealed to actually be Eddie's son.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Dylan's pretty much identical to how Eddie looked when he was a child. He's introduced as Eddie's half-brother, but issue #11 reveals he's actually Eddie's son.
* TagalongKid: He initially appears to have no powers and mainly tags with Eddie since the alternative is being with their abusive father -- later revealed to be his grandfather.
* TearsOfFear: With Carnage-Norman beating down their door, Dylan and Normie drop all pretenses of childish bravado and sob in each other's arms while huddled in the corner.
* TomatoInTheMirror: He learns he isn't normal when Sleeper recoils in pain after trying to bond with him, Dylan's eyes turn pitch black and he ends up instinctively mind-controlling Sleeper into slobbering napalm all over the Maker for Hawkeye to ignite. He's subsequently terrified of what he's done and wonders what the hell he is.
-->'''Sleeper:''' Dylan... what ''are'' you?\\
'''Dylan:''' ''[looking down at his hands in horror]'' I... I don't know.
* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: In ''Venom #19'', he discovers that the Sleeper symbiote can't bond to him and recoils in pain when it tries.
* VagueAge: The solicit for ''Venom'' Vol. 4 #15 states that Dylan is nine years old, but in ''Web of Venom: The Good Son'' he states he's a teenager and older than Normie Osborn. When Zac Thompson was asked on Twitter, he said that Dylan was around 12 and Normie around 9 -- handwaving that Normie was born ''before'' Spider-Man had brought the Venom symbiote to Earth by saying [[TimeyWimeyBall time in Marvel is like a rubber band]].
* WhatTheHellHero:
** When Eddie passes the Venom symbiote off as a service dog and says he has PTSD in order to keep a waiter at a fast food restaurant from getting too close, Dylan calls him out on going along with the waiter's assumption that he was a soldier.
** He also calls out The Maker for blasting Sleeper, one of the few unambiguously good symbiotes, who had just saved them from the Hybrid symbiotes. Of course, he doesn't know that The Maker is a MadScientist version of Reed Richards from another universe, so he isn't talking to a "hero".
* WhatWouldXDo: When cornered by The Maker, Dylan tries to do what Eddie would do... and that ends up being something really, really stupid.
-->'''Dylan:''' Okay, okay, Dylan. Think. What would Eddie do? He would do... Eddie would do... something... '''[[EurekaMoment stupid.]]'''

M'lanz was a Skrull intelligence officer sent to hunt down the Kree supersoldier Tel-Kar, who she had helped capture at the end of the Kree/Skrull War. Tracking Tel-Kar to Earth, M'lanz deduced that he intended to reclaim the symbiote he had used during the war -- now going by Venom -- and attacked Eddie Brock hoping to prevent Tel-Kar from reclaiming it. When Tel-Kar forced the Venom symbiote to rebond to him, M'lanz reluctantly teamed up with Eddie and Venom's latest spawn Sleeper, stopping Tel-Kar from unleashing a plague created to wipe out entire species.
M'lanz returned to the Skrull Empire, and in the wake of the [[ComicBook/{{Empyre}} war with the Cotati]] she was sent with a small squad -- including fellow former symbiote host Tarna -- to investigate a series of attacks on Kree and Skrull colonies at the edge of the galaxy, unaware that it was the work of Knull, the ComicBook/KingInBlack and god of the symbiotes.

She eventually rejoined the Skrull Empire, and in the wake of the [[ComicBook/{{Empyre}} war with the Cotati]] she was sent with a small squad -- including fellow former symbiote host M'lanz -- to investigate a series of attacks on Kree and Skrull colonies at the edge of the galaxy, unaware that it was the work of Knull, the ComicBook/KingInBlack and god of the symbiotes.

->'''Debut:''' ''Venom'' Vol. 4 #7
Eddie's purported half-brother, later revealed to be his biological son. Eddie meets him while fleeing from The Maker's goons and is dragged away before they can be properly acquainted. Later on, Dylan manages to catch up to Eddie and decides that he'd rather be with Venom than their abusive father.
----
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: In ''Venom'' Vol. 4 #6, Eddie thinks to himself that he'd rather have a rematch with Knull than sit through Dylan's barrage of countless questions. As for the sibling part, he's Eddie's adoptive brother ''and'' biological son.
* AntiAntiChrist: Played with; he has unprecedented control over symbiotes while immune to being bonded with them and is slowly being corrupted by Knull yet, at the same time, he's just as willing to side with Eddie against Knull and his forces.
* AudienceSurrogate: The questions and comments he barrages Eddie with in ''Venom'' Vol. 4 #6 echo many that Venom fans have asked over the years.
* TheBeastmaster: His nature as a human codex seems to give him the ability to control symbiotes. He instinctively mind-controls Sleeper to turn him into an AngryGuardDog, and later manages to splatter Norman Osborn's portion of the Grendel symbiote with a hand gesture.
* BigBrotherBully: In ''Web of Venom: The Good Son'', [[spoiler:Dylan tells Liz Allan that he sees Normie Osborn as a little brother, though he begins tormenting and threatening Normie -- who he'd previously been good friends with]].
* BigBrotherWorship: Dylan might snark at Eddie's expense, but Dylan clearly idolizes him for being the only family member he really has as well as being a badass.
* ChildByRape: Dylan was [[MysticalPregnancy conceived]] when Anne's Venom symbiote codex from her transformation into She-Venom bonded to a fetus,[[note]]Although how she'd have a fetus in her womb without having had sex is a mystery unto itself.[[/note]] Anne was traumatized by suddenly becoming pregnant without having had sex, which presumably contributed to her fear of the symbiote and decision to kill herself.
* TheCorruptible: In ''Web of Venom: The Good Son'', [[spoiler:Dylan succumbs to Knull's influence and swears fealty to the King in Black, bonding to a piece of the Carnage symbiote and attacking Normie Osborn]].
* DidntThinkThisThrough: On one hand, Dylan's plan to free the symbiotes to attack The Maker was pretty ingenious. On the other, he didn't expect the symbiotes to all bond to the guy he sicced them on. Cue Dylan and Normie running for their lives.
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: When [[MadScientist The Maker]] wants to stick Normie in a machine to extract his codex, Dylan jumps in front and tells him off, saying that Spider-Man and Venom won't like it if he did what they told him not to do. This kid stood up to one of the most evil characters in the Marvel Universe and lived to tell of it (albeit with the threat of Eddie looming over him).
* ExactlyWhatIAimedAt: Pulls this on The Maker of all people when he points a gun at The Maker, only to reveal that he was actually aiming at the glass containers containing the Knull-infested Hybrid symbiotes, freeing them and siccing them on The Maker.
* EyeColorChange: When cornered by Hybrid in ''Venom'' Vol. 4 #18, Dylan's eyes turn solid black as his symbiote powers activate for the first time. As he gets even more angry, the tell-tale red swirl of Knull can be seen in them, suggesting that he is a direct conduit to Knull's powers.
* FamilyRelationshipSwitcheroo: Dylan was initially led to believe that Carl Brock was his father and Eddie was his half-brother, only to later learn that Carl is actually his grandpa and Eddie is his dad.
* GrinOfAudacity: Sports one when he breaks the Knull-boosted Hybrid symbiote free to attack The Maker.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Ever since Dylan's initial appearance, Donny Cates has hinted that Dylan isn't entirely human. [[spoiler:''Absolute Carnage'' #2 reveals that he is Anne Weying's Venom codex incarnated as a human, making him a human-symbiote hybrid.]]
* HeroesLoveDogs: Subverted. When he learns that he can control Sleeper, he instinctively turns him into a savage wolf. After this, he admits he isn't much of a dog person, and Sleeper decides to take the form of a cat instead.
* InnocentBlueEyes: Downplayed. Thanks to his abusive father, Dylan is no stranger to things that are HarmfulToMinors. Even still, his bright blue eyes emphasize his youthful naivete and optimism in contrast to Eddie's world-weariness.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Just like Eddie, Dylan can be abrasive, snarky, and often speaks without thinking, asking Eddie to kill Carl without really meaning it. He also refers to Spider-Man as a "menace", taking after his father's animosity for him. But Dylan has a good heart and stands up for Normie against The Maker.
* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: Once he properly introduces himself to Eddie, he's ecstatic that he's related to Venom.
* MagicalEyeStreamers: When his powers activate in ''Venom'' Vol. 4 #18, his eyes turn solid black with smokey black tendrils writhing in the outside corners.
* MissingMom: It's eventually revealed that his mother is Anne Weying, who promised she'd return for him when leaving him at Carl Brock's house but later committed suicide.
* MoralityPet: After he and Eddie go on the run together, all of Eddie's actions are motivated by a desire to keep Dylan safe, happy, and healthy while trying to be a decent role model for him.
* MouthyKid: He can be foul-mouthed and snarky, rarely thinking before he speaks. But he's a sweet kid at heart who idolizes Eddie.
* RemoteBody: He discovers that he can mentally indwell symbiotes, something only Knull could ever do before, and uses it to inhabit Venom and turn them into a ''T. rex''.
* TheRunaway: He runs away from home in ''Venom'' Vol. 4 #6, intending to live with Eddie -- who is quick to dissuade him, given that he's homeless, broke, traumatized by PTSD, and suffering from hallucinations of Knull.
* SelfMadeOrphan: Invoked when he asks Eddie to kill Carl Brock, [[AbusiveParents who beat him up and broke his arm in a fit of rage]] following Eddie's return, and has beaten him before. Ultimately, he doesn't really mean it and is revealed to actually be Eddie's son.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Dylan's pretty much identical to how Eddie looked when he was a child. He's introduced as Eddie's half-brother, but issue #11 reveals he's actually Eddie's son.
* TagalongKid: He has no powers and mainly tags with Eddie since the alternative is being with their abusive father -- later revealed to be his grandfather.
* TearsOfFear: With Carnage-Norman beating down their door, Dylan and Normie drop all pretenses of childish bravado and sob in each other's arms while huddled in the corner.
* TomatoInTheMirror: He learns he isn't normal when Sleeper recoils in pain after trying to bond with him, Dylan's eyes turn pitch black and he ends up instinctively mind-controlling Sleeper into slobbering napalm all over the Maker for Hawkeye to ignite. He's subsequently terrified of what he's done and wonders what the hell he is.
-->'''Sleeper:''' Dylan... what ''are'' you?\\
'''Dylan:''' ''[looking down at his hands in horror]'' I... I don't know.
* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: In ''Venom #19'', he discovers that the Sleeper symbiote can't bond to him and recoils in pain when it tries.
* WhatTheHellHero:
** When Eddie passes the Venom symbiote off as a service dog and says he has PTSD in order to keep a waiter at a fast food restaurant from getting too close, Dylan calls him out on going along with the waiter's assumption that he was a soldier.
** He also calls out The Maker for blasting Sleeper, one of the few unambiguously good symbiotes, who had just saved them from the Hybrid symbiotes. Of course, he doesn't know that The Maker is a MadScientist version of Reed Richards from another universe, so he isn't talking to a "hero".
* WhatWouldXDo: When cornered by The Maker, Dylan tries to do what Eddie would do... and that ends up being something really, really stupid.
-->'''Dylan:''' Okay, okay, Dylan. Think. What would Eddie do? He would do... Eddie would do... something... '''[[EurekaMoment stupid.]]'''

A servant and maintenance robot, 803 was the slave of a space pirate named Kio, who forced the hapless droid to do his malicious bidding. Centuries of mistreatment caused 803 to become suicidal, so he was quick to offer aid to Agent Venom when the Agent of the Cosmos infiltrated Kio's spaceship, convinced that Flash would destroy him afterward as a "reward" for his services. After killing Kio and his crew, and saving their captives, Flash instead took 803 on as a travelling companion, to the melancholic robot's immense disappointment.
----
* ArtificialLimbs: He builds Flash a pair of prosthetic limbs as a present, reducing his reliance on the symbiote for mobility.

* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: He's jubilantly ripped in half by Pik Rollo, which enrages Venom. To 803's dismay, this isn't enough to kill him, so he repairs himself and fixes Venom's ship.

* RubberForeheadAliens: Aside from her red skin and serpentine hair, she looks like an attractive female human.

[[folder:Tarna]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tarna.jpg]]
-> '''Debut:''' ''ComicBook/VenomSpaceKnight'' Vol. 1, #2
A hot-tempered Skrull Agent of the Cosmos bonded to a purple symbiote. She and her mentor, Myntril, followed Venom for some time before abducting his ship. Tarna immediately picked a fight with Agent Venom, having deemed him unworthy of being an Agent of the Cosmos, but was stopped by Tarna. After witnessing Flash's friendship with the symbiote, she was moved by the lengths he was willing to go to protect it, and ultimately defected to the Space Knights.
----

* DyingToBeReplaced: Flash assumes she intends to kill the Venom symbiote and take Flash back to the Planet of the Symbiotes to get a non-corrupted Klyntar after the Venom symbiote is re-corrupted by Mercurio. Tarna and her symbiote both state that they're wrong, but either don't bother to or aren't able to provide clarification before things escalate into a fight.
* FireForgedFriends: She initially disliked Flash, but after seeing his dedication to Venom even in the face of the symbiote's corruption, she begrudgingly comes to care for him and stands up for him against Myntrill.
* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: The form we first see her in is her GameFace. Underneath it she's a Skrull.
--> '''Tarna:''' This upsets you?
--> '''Flash:''' Skrulls and folks from Earth haven't always played well together.
* HeroicHost: She is the host of a purple Klyntar and an Agent of the Cosmos. She also proves to be more loyal to her friends than to her duty as an Agent, siding with Flash and Venom.
* LetsYouAndHimFight:
** She deliberately picks a fight with Venom, thinking he's not worthy of being a Guardian of the Cosmos.
** When she shows up to return the Venom symbiote to the Cosmos, her antagonistic attitude leads Flash to believe she intends to kill it. While she mentions he's misunderstanding, she doesn't bother clarifying and a fight breaks out instead.
* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: Unusually for a being bonded with a sane Klyntar, her mouth is lined with fangs.
* MorphicResonance: Her symbiote form retains her long black hair.
* PurpleIsPowerful: Her Klyntar is purple, and she was strong enough to make Venom mad enough to show his fangs.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Unlike the BlankWhiteEyes commonly associated with symbiotes, she has glowing red eyes.
* RoarBeforeBeating: While fighting Venom all she initially did was roar and snarl at him, leading him to think she was bonded to a feral Klyntar.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: After Myntril breaks up the fight between her and Venom, she complains to Tarna that Venom isn't worthy of being called a Guardian of the Cosmos, since he's a newbie and barely in-sync with his Klyntar.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: She impersonates Myntril to help Flash get into the arena where the Venom symbiote is being tried, and morphs her arms into rocky fists to fight the guards.

Over the years, the Venom symbiote and its hosts have found themselves embroiled in the affairs of Earth's various governments, from the Project Rebirth program to SHIELD.

--> ''"You ever let that alpha-jock brute anger sully ''my'' "Operation Venom" again, I will '''cut you''' off the team faster than a '''mohel.'''"''
A United States General and the head of Project Rebirth 2.0, Dodge is the person who selected Flash to become Agent Venom. Because of his own disability -- he was blinded at some point in his life -- he has a soft spot for Flash, but is also willing to prioritise the mission above all else.
----
* DontMakeMeDestroyYou: He's killed three prior applicants because they lost control of the symbiote, and threatens to do so to Flash if he goes AWOL. When Flash briefly loses control of the symbiote, he hesitates to pull the trigger and instead settles for yelling at Flash. When Thompson goes AWOL a second time, Dodge detonates the bomb, but by this point the symbiote had extracted it and tried to use it to kill Crime Master and Jack O'Lantern.
* HandicappedBadass: Despite being blind, can play squash very well, so the man's still got some skills.
* HeroicDog: Has a seeing eye dog that can detect when Flash has bonded with the Symbiote.
* OhCrap: When he sees Captain America has discovered Project Rebirth 2.0, he has the rest of the team DestroyTheEvidence and tries to lie to Cap's face.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He constantly hounds Flash about being bonded to the Symbiote for too long and will often remind Flash that he can detonate the both of them should he have to... and he's right to. Flash accidentally bonded to the symbiote only a few missions into his tenure as Agent Venom, and progressively did so more and more and lied to Dodge about it. The only reason he got away with it is because Dodge kept trusting him.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Once Flash goes AWOL, Dodge is never really mentioned again.

* HumanityIsInfectious: He can feel Knull trying to corrupt him again but doesn't want to succumb to it since he finds the "light" of compassion too beautiful to give up.
* MySiblingWillLiveThroughMe: Or in Rex's case, [[spoiler:my host will live through me, as it's revealed that while the real Rex died during the Vietnam War his symbiote imprinted his memories and personality into itself so that it could impersonate him]].
* PiecesOfGod: Indirectly; he and his unit were all sampled from the symbiote dragon that Knull's consciousness is currently stuck in. He needs to reabsorb all of them to become capable of freeing himself from Klyntar.

* SoleSurvivor: Of the Sym-Soldier Project, the other recruits having lost control of their symbiotes, been cryogenically frozen, and killed by the Symbiote God. [[spoiler:It turns out that Rex was killed by Nick Fury and impersonated by his symbiote, though after Knull reabsorbs the other Sym-Soldier symbiotes into Grendel he's the only one to retain his individuality.]]

--> '''The Suit:''' No.
Untold millennia ago, an alien entity informed a race of mechanical, self-replicating spider-like beings that humans were a violent and chaotic species that needed to be destroyed, lest they eventually spread throughout the cosmos. As they prepared to wipe out humanity, the spiders were delayed by horrific weather conditions, and during that time they realized that they had been duped, and that their benefactor had merely wanted the humans gone so that it could claim the Earth as its own. Most of the spiders left Earth, but a small cluster, still believing in their mission, stayed behind. Weakened, this group started slowly gathering physical and political power so that it could one day commit the genocide it was hired to.
In the present day, [[ComicBook/MisterFantastic Reed Richards]] discovered a swarm of the spiders during a space expedition. The spiders eventually created a humanoid form dubbed "The Suit". Making contact with ComicBook/NickFury, the Suit explained that the Venom symbiote, which he was briefly exposed to while it and Eddie Brock were in the custody of the Fantastic Four, was going to be used in a plot to cause chaos on a global scale. Learning that a clone of the Venom symbiote, made by the genocidal spiders to further their goals, was in the arctic, the Suit headed there to eliminate it.

* NoodleIncident: When the Suit reappears in New York, he's missing an arm and most of his head. The closest thing to an explanation that he offers is a [[MajorInjuryUnderreaction nonchalant]], "I was delayed".
* NoSell: The symbiote clone attempted to take over him but failed due to him neither being human or organic. It settled for tearing him apart instead.
* PullingThemselvesTogether: Whenever the Suit is dismembered or blown up, the spiders he contains piece him back together, good as new.
* ShockAndAwe: He's electrokinetic, but is usually only able to use his powers through his cellphone or something similar.
* SpellMyNameWithAThe: Because otherwise it would be even more awkward.
* TheStoic: The smirk he gives in the above image being one of the few exceptions to all-around cool demeanor.
* TimeAbyss: He's existed since pre-Biblical times.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He supercharges himself in order to obliterate both Venoms, but the blast is contained by Invisible Woman. It's unknown if he survived the backfire, but seeing as how he has yet to reappear...
* TheWormThatWalks: He's full of innumerable robotic spiders, which exit and enter his body through his eye sockets.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/40e0d0b858bff2fe40052bcfcb0a90cc.jpg]]
-> '''Debut:''' ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #375
--> ''"What ever relationship between Edward Brock and myself is no longer applicable."''
* AbusiveParents: Carl blamed Eddie for his wife's death in childbirth and used it as a excuse to be physically abusive and neglectful towards Eddie, while just waiting for an excuse to disown him. He also outright denies the existence of his daughter Mary when Eddie brings her up, [[spoiler:and his younger son (or rather, grandson) approaches Eddie with a black eye and broken arm implied to have been inflicted by his father]]. Complicating matters somewhat is the fact that his denial, which takes place during ''ComicBook/DonnyCatesVenom'', [[spoiler:is completely valid, as [[RetCon Mary never existed, and was a hallucination made up by the Venom symbiote to keep Eddie close]]]].
* BenevolentBoss: Despite being callous and stoic, there were no indications he was cruel to his employees. The same maid has also been working for him since at least Eddie's early childhood.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Used his status and wealth to have Eddie cleared of charges of intoxication manslaughter so it wouldn't ruin his reputation and when his son wanted to instead plea guilty to atone for his accidental murder, Carl physically assaulted Eddie until he agreed to say he was innocent.
* DeathGlare: The look Carl gave Peter when he brought up Eddie scared even him.
* IHaveNoSon: When Eddie's career was ended in disgrace, Carl used that as an excuse to disown his son. ''ComicBook/DonnyCatesVenom'' has the Venom symbiote [[CallingTheOldManOut try speaking on Eddie's behalf]] [[YoureNotMyFather by disowning him]] for both his and Dylan's safety.
* MaternalDeathBlameTheChild: His beloved wife died giving birth to Eddie, who Carl reviled as a result.
* {{Retcon}}: ''Dark Origin'' changed him from a wealthy businessman to a middle-class suburbanite, and made him into a balding man with a moustache.
* RichesToRags: Donny Cates' ''Venom'' reveals that he was a successful businessman until Eddie accidentally killed a child driving home while drunk bankrupted him with hospital bills and paying the court off.
* TheStoic: He was pretty much emotionless until he met his wife Jamie, who he adored.
* {{Workaholic}}: In his first appearance, Carl is shown ignoring his son to focus on office work.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dylan_brock.jpg]]
->'''Debut:''' ''Venom'' Vol. 4 #7
Eddie's purported half-brother, later revealed to be his biological son. Eddie meets him while fleeing from The Maker's goons and is dragged away before they can be properly acquainted. Later on, Dylan manages to catch up to Eddie and decides that he'd rather be with Venom than their abusive father.
----
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: In ''Venom'' Vol. 4 #6, Eddie thinks to himself that he'd rather have a rematch with Knull than sit through Dylan's barrage of countless questions. As for the sibling part, he's Eddie's adoptive brother ''and'' biological son.
* AntiAntiChrist: Played with; he has unprecedented control over symbiotes while immune to being bonded with them and is slowly being corrupted by Knull yet, at the same time, he's just as willing to side with Eddie against Knull and his forces.
* AudienceSurrogate: The questions and comments he barrages Eddie with in ''Venom'' Vol. 4 #6 echo many that Venom fans have asked over the years.
* TheBeastmaster: His nature as a human codex seems to give him the ability to control symbiotes. He instinctively mind-controls Sleeper to turn him into an AngryGuardDog, and later manages to splatter Norman Osborn's portion of the Grendel symbiote with a hand gesture.
* BigBrotherBully: In ''Web of Venom: The Good Son'', [[spoiler:Dylan tells Liz Allan that he sees Normie Osborn as a little brother, though he begins tormenting and threatening Normie -- who he'd previously been good friends with]].
* BigBrotherWorship: Dylan might snark at Eddie's expense, but Dylan clearly idolizes him for being the only family member he really has as well as being a badass.
* ChildByRape: Dylan was [[MysticalPregnancy conceived]] when Anne's Venom symbiote codex from her transformation into She-Venom bonded to a fetus,[[note]]Although how she'd have a fetus in her womb without having had sex is a mystery unto itself.[[/note]] Anne was traumatized by suddenly becoming pregnant without having had sex, which presumably contributed to her fear of the symbiote and decision to kill herself.
* TheCorruptible: In ''Web of Venom: The Good Son'', [[spoiler:Dylan succumbs to Knull's influence and swears fealty to the King in Black, bonding to a piece of the Carnage symbiote and attacking Normie Osborn]].
* DidntThinkThisThrough: On one hand, Dylan's plan to free the symbiotes to attack The Maker was pretty ingenious. On the other, he didn't expect the symbiotes to all bond to the guy he sicced them on. Cue Dylan and Normie running for their lives.
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: When [[MadScientist The Maker]] wants to stick Normie in a machine to extract his codex, Dylan jumps in front and tells him off, saying that Spider-Man and Venom won't like it if he did what they told him not to do. This kid stood up to one of the most evil characters in the Marvel Universe and lived to tell of it (albeit with the threat of Eddie looming over him).
* ExactlyWhatIAimedAt: Pulls this on The Maker of all people when he points a gun at The Maker, only to reveal that he was actually aiming at the glass containers containing the Knull-infested Hybrid symbiotes, freeing them and siccing them on The Maker.
* EyeColorChange: When cornered by Hybrid in ''Venom'' Vol. 4 #18, Dylan's eyes turn solid black as his symbiote powers activate for the first time. As he gets even more angry, the tell-tale red swirl of Knull can be seen in them, suggesting that he is a direct conduit to Knull's powers.
* FamilyRelationshipSwitcheroo: Dylan was initially led to believe that Carl Brock was his father and Eddie was his half-brother, only to later learn that Carl is actually his grandpa and Eddie is his dad.
* GrinOfAudacity: Sports one when he breaks the Knull-boosted Hybrid symbiote free to attack The Maker.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Ever since Dylan's initial appearance, Donny Cates has hinted that Dylan isn't entirely human. [[spoiler:''Absolute Carnage'' #2 reveals that he is Anne Weying's Venom codex incarnated as a human, making him a human-symbiote hybrid.]]
* HeroesLoveDogs: Subverted. When he learns that he can control Sleeper, he instinctively turns him into a savage wolf. After this, he admits he isn't much of a dog person, and Sleeper decides to take the form of a cat instead.
* InnocentBlueEyes: Downplayed. Thanks to his abusive father, Dylan is no stranger to things that are HarmfulToMinors. Even still, his bright blue eyes emphasize his youthful naivete and optimism in contrast to Eddie's world-weariness.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Just like Eddie, Dylan can be abrasive, snarky, and often speaks without thinking, asking Eddie to kill Carl without really meaning it. He also refers to Spider-Man as a "menace", taking after his father's animosity for him. But Dylan has a good heart and stands up for Normie against The Maker.
* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: Once he properly introduces himself to Eddie, he's ecstatic that he's related to Venom.
* MagicalEyeStreamers: When his powers activate in ''Venom'' Vol. 4 #18, his eyes turn solid black with smokey black tendrils writhing in the outside corners.
* MissingMom: It's eventually revealed that his mother is Anne Weying, who promised she'd return for him when leaving him at Carl Brock's house but later committed suicide.
* MoralityPet: After he and Eddie go on the run together, all of Eddie's actions are motivated by a desire to keep Dylan safe, happy, and healthy while trying to be a decent role model for him.
* MouthyKid: He can be foul-mouthed and snarky, rarely thinking before he speaks. But he's a sweet kid at heart who idolizes Eddie.
* RemoteBody: He discovers that he can mentally indwell symbiotes, something only Knull could ever do before, and uses it to inhabit Venom and turn them into a ''T. rex''.
* TheRunaway: He runs away from home in ''Venom'' Vol. 4 #6, intending to live with Eddie -- who is quick to dissuade him, given that he's homeless, broke, traumatized by PTSD, and suffering from hallucinations of Knull.
* SelfMadeOrphan: Invoked when he asks Eddie to kill Carl Brock, [[AbusiveParents who beat him up and broke his arm in a fit of rage]] following Eddie's return, and has beaten him before. Ultimately, he doesn't really mean it and is revealed to actually be Eddie's son.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Dylan's pretty much identical to how Eddie looked when he was a child. He's introduced as Eddie's half-brother, but issue #11 reveals he's actually Eddie's son.
* TagalongKid: He has no powers and mainly tags with Eddie since the alternative is being with their abusive father -- later revealed to be his grandfather.
* TearsOfFear: With Carnage-Norman beating down their door, Dylan and Normie drop all pretenses of childish bravado and sob in each other's arms while huddled in the corner.
* TomatoInTheMirror: He learns he isn't normal when Sleeper recoils in pain after trying to bond with him, Dylan's eyes turn pitch black and he ends up instinctively mind-controlling Sleeper into slobbering napalm all over the Maker for Hawkeye to ignite. He's subsequently terrified of what he's done and wonders what the hell he is.
-->'''Sleeper:''' Dylan... what ''are'' you?\\
'''Dylan:''' ''[looking down at his hands in horror]'' I... I don't know.
* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: In ''Venom #19'', he discovers that the Sleeper symbiote can't bond to him and recoils in pain when it tries.
* WhatTheHellHero:
** When Eddie passes the Venom symbiote off as a service dog and says he has PTSD in order to keep a waiter at a fast food restaurant from getting too close, Dylan calls him out on going along with the waiter's assumption that he was a soldier.
** He also calls out The Maker for blasting Sleeper, one of the few unambiguously good symbiotes, who had just saved them from the Hybrid symbiotes. Of course, he doesn't know that The Maker is a MadScientist version of Reed Richards from another universe, so he isn't talking to a "hero".
* WhatWouldXDo: When cornered by The Maker, Dylan tries to do what Eddie would do... and that ends up being something really, really stupid.
-->'''Dylan:''' Okay, okay, Dylan. Think. What would Eddie do? He would do... Eddie would do... something... '''[[EurekaMoment stupid.]]'''

-> '''Debut:''' ''ComicBook/VenomSpaceKnight'' Vol. 1, #1
A servant and maintenance robot, 803 was the slave of a space pirate named Kio, who forced the hapless droid to do his malicious bidding. Centuries of mistreatment caused 803 to become suicidal, so he was quick to offer aid to Agent Venom when the Agent of the Cosmos infiltrated Kio's spaceship, convinced that Flash would destroy him afterward as a "reward" for his services. After killing Kio and his crew, and saving their captives, Flash instead took 803 on as a travelling companion, to the melancholic robot's immense disappointment.
----
* ArtificialLimbs: He builds Flash a pair of prosthetic limbs as a present, reducing his reliance on the symbiote for mobility.

* GadgeteerGenius: He fashioned a pair of prosthetic legs, repaired himself after being ripped in half, and fixed Venom's ship after it was almost completely demolished.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: He's jubilantly ripped in half by Pik Rollo, which enrages Venom. To 803's dismay, this isn't enough to kill him, so he repairs himself and fixes Venom's ship.

* MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: The males of her species are weak and pathetic, so she finds Flash highly attractive.
* OfCourseImNotAVirgin: She has a husband stable, but her inquiries as to whether or not Flash and Tarna are mating - they were actually trying to kill each other - lead Pik Rollo to ask if she even knows what mating looks like, implying that she's not as experienced as her husband stable implies.
* RubberForeheadAliens: Aside from her red skin and serpentine hair, she looks like an attractive female human.

-> '''Debut:''' ''ComicBook/VenomSpaceKnight'' Vol. 1, #2
A hot-tempered Skrull Agent of the Cosmos bonded to a purple symbiote. She and her mentor, Myntril, followed Venom for some time before abducting his ship. Tarna immediately picked a fight with Agent Venom, having deemed him unworthy of being an Agent of the Cosmos, but was stopped by Tarna. After witnessing Flash's friendship with the symbiote, she was moved by the lengths he was willing to go to protect it, and ultimately defected to the Space Knights.
----
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: She morphs an arm into a hooked blade and slashes Venom across the chest, pissing him off.
* DrillSergeantNasty: She's supposed to be in charge of Venom's training in the ways of being a Guardian of the Cosmos, but Myntril doubts she'll fulfill her duty.
* DyingToBeReplaced: Flash assumes she intends to kill the Venom symbiote and take Flash back to the Planet of the Symbiotes to get a non-corrupted Klyntar after the Venom symbiote is re-corrupted by Mercurio. Tarna and her symbiote both state that they're wrong, but either don't bother to or aren't able to provide clarification before things escalate into a fight.
* FireForgedFriends: She initially disliked Flash, but after seeing his dedication to Venom even in the face of the symbiote's corruption, she begrudgingly comes to care for him and stands up for him against Myntrill.
* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: The form we first see her in is her GameFace. Underneath it she's a Skrull.
--> '''Tarna:''' This upsets you?
--> '''Flash:''' Skrulls and folks from Earth haven't always played well together.
* HeroicHost: She is the host of a purple Klyntar and an Agent of the Cosmos. She also proves to be more loyal to her friends than to her duty as an Agent, siding with Flash and Venom.
* LetsYouAndHimFight:
** She deliberately picks a fight with Venom, thinking he's not worthy of being a Guardian of the Cosmos.
** When she shows up to return the Venom symbiote to the Cosmos, her antagonistic attitude leads Flash to believe she intends to kill it. While she mentions he's misunderstanding, she doesn't bother clarifying and a fight breaks out instead.
* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: Unusually for a being bonded with a sane Klyntar, her mouth is lined with fangs.
* MorphicResonance: Her symbiote form retains her long black hair.
* PurpleIsPowerful: Her Klyntar is purple, and she was strong enough to make Venom mad enough to show his fangs.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Unlike the BlankWhiteEyes commonly associated with symbiotes, she has glowing red eyes.
* RoarBeforeBeating: While fighting Venom all she initially did was roar and snarl at him, leading him to think she was bonded to a feral Klyntar.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: After Myntril breaks up the fight between her and Venom, she complains to Tarna that Venom isn't worthy of being called a Guardian of the Cosmos, since he's a newbie and barely in-sync with his Klyntar.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: She impersonates Myntril to help Flash get into the arena where the Venom symbiote is being tried, and morphs her arms into rocky fists to fight the guards.

!!Government Personnel
Over the years, the Venom symbiote and its hosts have found themselves embroiled in the affairs of Earth's various governments, from the Project Rebirth program to SHIELD.
[[folder:General Brad Dodge]]
-> '''Debut:''' ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' Vol. 1, #654
--> ''"You ever let that alpha-jock brute anger sully ''my'' "Operation Venom" again, I will '''cut you''' off the team faster than a '''mohel.'''"''
A United States General and the head of Project Rebirth 2.0, Dodge is the person who selected Flash to become Agent Venom. Because of his own disability -- he was blinded at some point in his life -- he has a soft spot for Flash, but is also willing to prioritise the mission above all else.
----
* DontMakeMeDestroyYou: He's killed three prior applicants because they lost control of the symbiote, and threatens to do so to Flash if he goes AWOL. When Flash briefly loses control of the symbiote, he hesitates to pull the trigger and instead settles for yelling at Flash. When Thompson goes AWOL a second time, Dodge detonates the bomb, but by this point the symbiote had extracted it and tried to use it to kill Crime Master and Jack O'Lantern.
* HandicappedBadass: Despite being blind, can play squash very well, so the man's still got some skills.
* HeroicDog: Has a seeing eye dog that can detect when Flash has bonded with the Symbiote.
* OhCrap: When he sees Captain America has discovered Project Rebirth 2.0, he has the rest of the team DestroyTheEvidence and tries to lie to Cap's face.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He constantly hounds Flash about being bonded to the Symbiote for too long and will often remind Flash that he can detonate the both of them should he have to... and he's right to. Flash accidentally bonded to the symbiote only a few missions into his tenure as Agent Venom, and progressively did so more and more and lied to Dodge about it. The only reason he got away with it is because Dodge kept trusting him.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Once Flash goes AWOL, Dodge is never really mentioned again.

Flash's partner during his time as Agent Venom, Kate, like Dodge, is in charge of keeping him in-check and on-mission. Unlike Dodge, she also assists Flash in the field.
----
* GoodLookingPrivates: Then first thing Flash does when he meets her is hit on her.
* OutOfFocus: Dan Slott clearly set her up with something in mind, putting a large amount of focus on her and Flash's dynamic... and she was never given a large role by anyone ''but'' him.
* StraightMan: Her primary purpose seems to be to play this role to Flash's jokey side.

[[folder:Tyrannosaurus (Rex Strickland)]]
->'''Debut:''' ''Venom'' Vol. 4 1
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Delivers a number to Eddie in their first meeting, particularly centered about how much he actually knows his symbiote, like if he even knows its true name.
* DeadAllAlong: ''Venom'' Vol. 4 #5 reveals that [[spoiler:the real Rex Strickland died during the Vietnam War, and was being impersonated by his former symbiote]].
* DeadpanSnarker: He chuckles at Eddie's inquiries and exclamations with wry sarcasm and laughter at how naive Eddie is.
* FusionDance: After it's revealed that [[spoiler: Rex is a symbiote impersonating its old host]] it fuses with Venom to increase their power.
* HeelFaceTurn: The Tyrannosaurus symbiote - moved by Rex's nobility and Logan's compassion - broke free from Knull's control and turned against its former master.
* HeroicSacrifice: In order to save Eddie, Tyrannosaurus [[spoiler:grabs Knull's avatar and drags it into a blast furnace, sacrificing itself to immolate its progenitor]].
* HumanityIsInfectious: He can feel Knull trying to corrupt him again but doesn't want to succumb to it since he finds the "light" of compassion too beautiful to give up.
* MySiblingWillLiveThroughMe: Or in Rex's case, [[spoiler:my host will live through me, as it's revealed that while the real Rex died during the Vietnam War his symbiote imprinted his memories and personality into itself so that it could impersonate him]].
* PiecesOfGod: Indirectly; he and his unit were all sampled from the symbiote dragon that Knull's consciousness is currently stuck in. He needs to reabsorb all of them to become capable of freeing himself from Klyntar.
* PunnyName: Rex Strickland was given the codename Tyrannosaurus... as in ''TyrannosaurusRex''.
* PrecursorHeroes: He is one of a team of symbiote-augmented supersoldiers who preceded Flash Thompson.
* ScaryBlackMan: He used to be a supersoldier and agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., knows more about symbiotes than anyone aside from Flash Thompson, and is able to put that knowledge to use to subdue Venom. While he's more a DeadpanSnarker, the knowledge he possesses intimidates Eddie Brock.
* SoleSurvivor: Of the Sym-Soldier Project, the other recruits having lost control of their symbiotes, been cryogenically frozen, and killed by the Symbiote God. [[spoiler:It turns out that Rex was killed by Nick Fury and impersonated by his symbiote, though after Knull reabsorbs the other Sym-Soldier symbiotes into Grendel he's the only one to retain his individuality.]]
* SuperSoldier: He was a member of a team of symbiote-augmented supersoldiers recruited by the Sym-Soldier Project -- the precursor to Project Rebirth 2.0 -- decades before Flash became Agent Venom.
* ToServeMan: Under the control of their berserk symbiotes, Rex and his comrades ate countless Việt Cộng and American soldiers.

[[folder:The Suit]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/thesuit_263.jpg]]
-> '''Debut:''' ''Venom'' Vol. 1, #2
--> '''Venom Clone:''' Why have you come for me?
--> '''The Suit:''' I have come to destroy you. I know what you are.
--> '''Venom Clone:''' Yeah... and we know all about you. You're no better than we are.
--> '''The Suit:''' That is arguable.
--> '''Venom Clone:''' Heh-heh... wanna argue?
--> '''The Suit:''' No.
Untold millennia ago, an alien entity informed a race of mechanical, self-replicating spider-like beings that humans were a violent and chaotic species that needed to be destroyed, lest they eventually spread throughout the cosmos. As they prepared to wipe out humanity, the spiders were delayed by horrific weather conditions, and during that time they realized that they had been duped, and that their benefactor had merely wanted the humans gone so that it could claim the Earth as its own. Most of the spiders left Earth, but a small cluster, still believing in their mission, stayed behind. Weakened, this group started slowly gathering physical and political power so that it could one day commit the genocide it was hired to.
In the present day, [[ComicBook/MisterFantastic Reed Richards]] discovered a swarm of the spiders during a space expedition. The spiders eventually created a humanoid form dubbed "The Suit". Making contact with ComicBook/NickFury, the Suit explained that the Venom symbiote, which he was briefly exposed to while it and Eddie Brock were in the custody of the Fantastic Four, was going to be used in a plot to cause chaos on a global scale. Learning that a clone of the Venom symbiote, made by the genocidal spiders to further their goals, was in the arctic, the Suit headed there to eliminate it.
----
* AncientAstronauts: [[BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy The story of the Ark]]. Noah was the alien that hired the spiders, having decided to save select members of humanity for unknown reasons. The "flood" was an exaggeration of the bad weather that fortunately delayed the spiders' attempt to KillAllHumans, allowing them to realize that they were being manipulated.
* BadassBoast:
--> '''Spider-Man:''' [[SaveTheVillain I... won't let you... murder him]].
--> '''The Suit:''' I do not require your permission... nor do I, at this distance, require the phone. It is merely a conductor. [[IAmTheNoun I am the weapon]].
* BadassInANiceSuit: He wears a black business suit, hence the name.
* CannotTellAJoke:
--> '''Venom:''' Come to papa...
--> '''The Suit:''' Very well. But, as you can see--and to paraphrase--[[Music/JamesBrown papa now possesses an entirely brand-new bag]]. I believe my attempt at levity was successful. Ha. Ha.
* CoolShades: They're used to hide his lack of eyes, [[http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/1/15659/2049233-the_suit_origin.jpg and were Nick Fury's idea]].
* DramaticUnmask: While the Suit is fighting the Venom clone, his sunglasses are knocked off, revealing his eye sockets are completely empty.
* GoodCounterpart: To Bob, a member of the same race as him which intends to wipe out humanity.
* GoodIsNotNice: He does things like stick a bomb inside the unconscious Franchise/{{Wolverine}} in order prevent him from being taken over by the Venom clone, and knocks Patricia out so that he can perform an invasive and disfiguring surgery that will give her the implants necessary to control the clone.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: He operates as a torso for a while after being diced by the clone-possessed Wolverine.
* ImmuneToBullets: Though high-caliber rounds can stun him.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: He channels electrical blasts through his cellphone. They can knock people out, or reduce them to smoldering skeletons.
* LanternJawOfJustice: Though due to the art style, he was far from the only one with an oversized mandible.
* MadeOfIndestructium: The spiders, which are more or less described as such by Reed Richards. He was unable to find a way to even dent them, and they emerge unscathed from being at ground zero of a nuclear warhead.
* TheMenInBlack: Obviously inspired by them, he comes off as very similar to [[Franchise/MenInBlack Agent K]].
* NoodleIncident: When the Suit reappears in New York, he's missing an arm and most of his head. The closest thing to an explanation that he offers is a [[MajorInjuryUnderreaction nonchalant]], "I was delayed".
* NoSell: The symbiote clone attempted to take over him but failed due to him neither being human or organic. It settled for tearing him apart instead.
* PullingThemselvesTogether: Whenever the Suit is dismembered or blown up, the spiders he contains piece him back together, good as new.

* TimeAbyss: He's existed since pre-Biblical times.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He supercharges himself in order to obliterate both Venoms, but the blast is contained by Invisible Woman. It's unknown if he survived the backfire, but seeing as how he has yet to reappear...
* TheWormThatWalks: He's full of innumerable robotic spiders, which exit and enter his body through his eye sockets.
