And when we are first introduced to the venomous, tar-colored creature, it makes itself at home with the one-and-only Spider-Man, before the good-hearted character rejects the mean slime.
The character, first formed from the sentient alien black ooze known as The Symbiote, survives through a human host.
The no-good goo eventually introduces itself to The Daily Bugle reporter Eddie Brock, with whom the bad muck forms a relationship with the muckracker and become the character we know as Venom today.
As many comic book lovers know, Venom is one of Spider-Man’s biggest enemies.
