Venom’s Symbiote family tree isn’t exactly teeming with celebrity. While the Lethal Protector and his first spawn Carnage have been immortalized in the mythos of superhero comics, the same success hasn’t followed more distant offspring like Scorn, Silence, or the latest entry in Spider-Man’s castaway dynasty: Madness. Introduced in Cult of Carnage: Misery by Sabir Pirzada, Francesco Mortarino and Java Tartaglia, Madness is a six-Symbiote hybrid that represents the most unfortunate fate yet for some of Venom’s most underdeveloped relatives.Toxin and the Life Foundation Symbiotes once represented fresh ideas and new directions for their alien lineage, but haven’t had the chance to live up to that potential since. As Madness, they’ve once again been relegated to a utilitarian gimmick role that treats them less as characters and more as setpieces. This frustrating trend has lasted consistently for over a decade now, continually underselling characters who could have been stars to little more than machines that create symbiotic henchmen for disposable villains.Scream, Lasher, Riot, Phage, and Agony were Symbiotes extracted from Venom by the Life Foundation to be protectors for a post-fallout society, with hosts committed to their heroic purpose. In Venom: Separation Anxiety by Howard Mackie, Ron Randall, Sam de la Rosa, and Tom Smith, they sought out Eddie Brock hoping to better control their Symbiotes, flirting with still-underexplored concepts of using Symbiotes for good. The group was rejected by Brock as Scream killed her fellow hosts and the surviving Symbiotes were sent to the Vault and subjected to intense experimental torture. Weakened, they combined and sought out former Vault Guardsman Scott Washington, who had just been paralyzed in a shooting that killed his brother Derek. The Symbiotes believed Scott would be a respite from their pain, but instead found themselves on a new side of a familiar conflict when they struggled to curb their vengeful host’s violent urges.RELATED: Spider-Man: Carnage’s Latest Power Boosts Makes Him a True Multiverse-Level ThreatRELATED: The Venom Comics Are Getting Too Complicated For Their Own Good
