Change is always happening over at Marvel. The status quo cannot remain forever. That’s why characters come and go, and new ones take their place. However, the concept of a complete replacement is one that has been more prominent in continuity in recent years as the creatives look to engage new fans and younger readers. While once a moniker would belong to a single person, now it seems that there are multiple heroes and villains who can utilize that name without there being any issues whatsoever. How that is achieved is the thing that defines its success.For example, there is a wide array of up-and-coming heroes who are using classic names to great effect. Hawkeye, Ms. Marvel, Wolverine, Spider-Man, the list goes on and on. These characters are part of the fabric of the Marvel Universe and have been able to earn those names. However, there are an equal number of characters who have been forgotten about or pushed to the side for replacements. In some cases, this has become a repeated offense. Luckily, there is always time to address these examples.But the obstacles facing the Venom character go far deeper than this. Because Venom isn’t the only Symbiote on the scene. Not only is the person behind Venom getting replaced, but the idea of a significant Symbiote figure is also shifting. Back in the old days, it was the likes of Carnage and Anti-Venom who stood up above the rest. Now, Marvel’s increased Symbiote storylines have attempted to elevate a whole host of potential Venom stand-ins.
