** Cullen Bunn had intended to resurrect Anti-Venom for the third volume of the ''Venom'' series, but those plans were kiboshed by Marvel cancelling it after Volume 2 was finished. In ''AXIS: Hobgoblin'', a new Anti-Venom cameos as one of Hobgoblin's enfranchised superheroes, though it's not explained who's wearing it or how Kingsley got his hands on a specimen of the supposedly-deceased symbiote.

** In a more derisive example, [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Sasuke]] for Lee Price from Mike Costa's run largely because of his design and the large amounts of CharacterShilling for someone the fans despise.

* CreatorsFavorite: Cullen Bunn mentioned that he ''constantly'' tries to Mania in every story he's hired to write but keeps getting turned down for various reasons.

** David Michelinie had intended right from the start to kill Eddie Brock off once Venom had become popular, and have the symbiote jump from host to host. Marvel kiboshed that in light of the character's popularity as an antihero, so he came up with ComicBook/{{Carnage}} as a replacement. In 2004, Mark Miller penned a story where Eddie and the symbiote went their separate ways, and while he is currently Toxin, it's had four main hosts and counting.

** David Michelinie stated in an interview that he'd planned for Eddie Brock to be killed off early on and the symbiote to jump from host to host. Marvel refused to let him kill the character in light of his popularity as an antihero, and Carnage was created instead. [[{{Pun}} Flash]] forward ten-odd years and, while Eddie isn't dead, [[HilariousInHindsight the Venom symbiote's had several subsequent hosts.

** Broxin for Eddie Brock as Toxin.

** Cullen Bunn had a whole series of ideas planned out for the ''Venom'' series, including tying up the Descent subplot; the return of Anti-Venom for a "War for the Symbiote" arc also featuring Mania and Toxin, and Crime Master coming back from the dead. Marvel's cancellation of the series has, for now, flushed those plans down the dumper. Also, Eddie Brock was supposed to become Demon Venom[=/=]Mania, but wound up becoming Toxin while new character Andrea Benton became Mania.
*** [[DevelopmentGag A new Anti-Venom appears]] as one of Hobgoblin's underlings in ''AXIS: Hobgoblin''.
