Fans of Spider-Man’s symbiotic nemesis Venom would most likely identify him as Eddie Brock, who’s been the face of the character for a generation of films, shows, and games. Those who’ve played through Insomniac’s recently released Spider-Man 2 may know him as someone different. But fans of the current comic will point out that the current host of Peter Parker’s former Secret Wars tagalong is actually Eddie’s son, Dylan Brock. Not only that, Dylan is one of nearly a dozen hosts to take the Venom name, with Eddie being rebranded just as often. It’s a confusing history, emblematic of everything the franchise has recently become.Venom’s current host is one of many aspects of the character that have grown frustrating to follow in recent years. The symbiotes have gone from a niche presence in Spider-Man’s universe to supporting their own fully-formed franchise, but not necessarily for the better. While this has resulted in fun designs and action-packed moments, these expansions haven’t created anything as good as the original symbiote. Venom’s universe has lost focus on what made its star so memorable in the first place. And whether it’s the fault of underdeveloped characters or overdeveloped ideas, the complicated franchise could benefit from some streamlining going forward.While the Venom name is most commonly associated with Eddie Brock, he’s spent just as much time in comics separated from the symbiote as he has bonded with it. The pair first split in the Marvel Knights: Spider-Man #5-8 storyline “Venomous” (by Mark Millar, Frank Cho, Laura Martin and Cory Petit) when the symbiote was sold at a supervillain auction. Shortly after, Mac Gargan became the surprising successor of the Venom identity. The former Scorpion would hold the role for nearly half a decade, most notably joining Norman Osborn’s Dark Avengers. Venom then donned a more military-branded design with Flash Thompson, Peter Parker’s former high school bully. After a brief reunion with Brock, the symbiote joined his son Dylan in 2019, where it remains today.Venom’s Weirdest and Most Tragic Story Was Getting Eddie Brock… Pregnant?Venom: Why Haven’t the Life Foundation Symbiotes Ever Become Popular?
