Chapter Three: Eddie Brock

And we have arrived at the most famous and enduring Venom.

Eddie Brock was a journalist who ruined his career with faulty reporting, which Peter Parker exposed. So Eddie and Venom bonded over their mutual hatred of a person they both knew, which is also how I've befriended every girl I've ever dated. Being bonded to peter for a long time had the side effect of copying some of his Spider-powers. And so Venom was born. After taking some time to stalk and track Peter, Venom attacked, coming after him multiple times.

One of the big ones involved leading Peter to a secluded island, which Peter got out of by faking his own death. During this long affair, the symbiote gave birth to a child, Carnage, as well as a bunch of other goo monsters that people by and large forgot. But, after over a decade of bonding and love, Eddie started to become upset by how bloodthirsty the symbiote had become.

You see, Eddie just wanted to kill Spider-Man whereas the symbiote wanted to murder everybody all the time. They were separated and it was time for Venom to find a new playmate.
