There are fewer supervillains who are linked with Spiderman than Venom.
The Green Goblin and Doctor Octopus are Spiderman’s A-list enemies but Venom was designed as the evil version of the villains themselves. Their efforts were made by Disney to establish Venom in his own right. He might get a fair share by having his own comics, his own merchandise, and his own movie franchise.
Venom bonded with the longtime host Eddie Brock in The Amazing Spider-Man #300. It is the first time he bonded with Eddie. In the real world, Ven-om is not unknown. He has appeared in many movies. The character is played by Topher Grace in Spider-Man 3 (2007), then Tom Hardy in Ven-om (2018).
The tale starts with the enacting of the Superhuman Registration Act, where Marvel’s superhumans are compelled to select whether to enroll their identities with the government or serve as fugitives. In Port Washington, New York, S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents flock around a house having Mac Gargan, the supervillain known as Scorpion and now the host of the Venom symbiote. Aware but unaffected, Gargan talks promptly into the phone, completing a mysterious business deal.
Gargan Speaks on Phone Unaffectedly
“It’s happening. Trust me. Tonight, okay? I got it on good authority, so I need to know: are we closed yet? Uh-huh… Uh-huh… That’s good. Real good. What about the back end? How many points? And the residuals? Fantastic. That foreign and domestic? For the TV show, I want Berlanti. Book rights to Meltzer. And for the movie, Zaillian or Koep or Guggenheim. No, the other Guggenheim. The one who wrote that hockey movie. Love that flick.”
The agents now got Gargan surrounded by them. But when the supervillain orders one of them to open the fire, he does. Gargan is here using the symbiote of Venom to control him physically. He snaps the neck of the agent. Also, he strolls outside only to be confronted by Radioactive Man and Songbird. Radioactive Man informs him that there are clear orders, he could either join Thunderbolts or he will be detained. Though Radioactive Man chances to victimize Venom, Mac Gargan gleefully approve their offer to join the Thunderbolts.
“Ten million bucks, a new identity, and a first-class ticket outta this washed-up country? Not to mention being’ a celebrity for a year. I’ve already sold my life rights. My agent said they’d be worth a little more if I goosed the body count up a bit before I went legit.”
However, it turned out that Venom had no intention of escaping S.H.I.E.L.D. He killed 6 agents to drum up the interest in his upcoming movie. It is the most monstrous stage in the career of Venom.
