"Venom" Into The Mainstream



Take another look @ actor Topher Grace morphing into alien 'Venom', in response to Sony continuing to develop a "Venom" stand-alone feature, spinning-off from their "Spider-Man" franchise, based on the Marvel Comics' character.


The character of 'Venom' was born to a race of extraterrestrial parasites, that lived by possessing the bodies of other life-forms, endowing victims with enhanced physical abilities, at the cost of fatally draining them of adrenaline.


'Spider-Man' was the first host the symbiote merged with, before its evil motives were clear. After Spider-Man rejected the creature, the symbiote merged with other hosts, beginning its reign as a super-villain.


Spider-Man first encountered the Venom symbiote in Marvel's "Secret Wars" #8.


After Spider-Man rejected the alien, the symbiote merged with 'Eddie Brock' in "The Amazing Spider-Man" #299 (March 1988).



The Venom symbiote's current host is 'Mac Gargan', the Spider-Man comic book villain formerly known as the 'Scorpion'.
