📖 Biography
Venom (Eddie Brock) is the fusion of investigative journalist Eddie Brock and the alien Klyntar symbiote, creating one of Marvel's most powerful anti-heroes. After the symbiote was rejected by Spider-Man, it bonded with Brock, whose resentment toward Peter Parker forged the fearsome identity known as Venom. Though he began as one of Spider-Man's deadliest enemies, Venom gradually evolved into a protector willing to fight dangerous threats by his own brutal code. His unique bond with the sentient symbiote gives him extraordinary powers while constantly testing the balance between man and alien.
