The Venom Symbiote is a major character in Sony's Spider-Man Universe, serving as one of the two main protagonists of Venom, its sequels Venom: Let There Be Carnage and Venom: The Last Dance. He is also a cameo character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Venom was an alien symbiote who bonded with investigative journalist, Eddie Brock, whom he forms a co-inhabiting partnership with. By using Venom's incredible strength and durability as well as Eddie's intellect and moral conscience they elect to help those in need by fighting against criminals and supervillains while also satisfying Venom's hunger for human flesh.

He was voiced by Tom Hardy.

His Evil Ranking[]

His Villainous Deeds[]

Venom[]

He was originally going to help Riot bring the symbiotes to earth for them to eat everyone in a straight up omnicide attempt.
He angrily expressed his hatred of being called a parasite and told Eddie to apologize. Eddie apologized to Venom and asked what they should do next to which Venom replied that they could do whatever they want.
After not getting admitted into Brock's old workplace, he and Eddie Brock broke into the building so that Eddie could turn in evidence of Drake's crimes, with Venom commenting that he was growing fond of Eddie.
Venom then escaped through the ventilation and bonds itself with a dog, walking though the hospital he sees how Eddie gets captured by Roland Treece and his men. Venom as the dog reaches for Anne and informed her of the situation.
He agrees to only eat bad people per Eddie's conditions and begins by devouring a thug robbing a convenience store.

Venom: Let There Be Carnage[]

When Eddie Brock is granted one last interview with Cletus Kasady before his execution, Venom is enraged when Kasady insults Brock mid-interview, which leads him to impulsively force Eddie to approach Kasady's cell to attack him with his symbiote tentacles, this was not only reckless, but also indirectly led to the birth of Carnage, as Cletus bit Eddie's finger in the heat of the moment, extracting a small piece of tissue from Venom that would later become Carnage in the process.
He was shocked to see Carnage ("a red one") envelop Kasady and address them as "father", seeking to eat them, refusing to fight until Eddie promises to let him eat "everybody." Venom begins to fight his son, but is quickly overpowered, and Carnage decides to kill Anne atop the cathedral.
Venom manages to rescue Anne in time and provokes Barrison into using her sonic blast powers, causing both symbiotes to separate from their hosts as the cathedral collapses and the falling bell crushes Barrison.
Venom and Eddie binge-watch local telenovelas in their tropical vacation cabana. As Venom tells Eddie about the symbiotes' hive mind knowledge of other universes, they are suddenly warped into an unfamiliar hotel room in the MCU, where the pair watch as J. Jonah Jameson discusses Spider-Man's identity as Peter Parker and a "murderer" on television. Venom, recognizing Peter as a criminal, licks the television screen.

Venom: The Last Dance[]

Planned to possibly eat Eddie’s ex-boss in NYC.
He brutally beats four Mexican gang members before eating all four heads off.
He retreats back into Eddie causing him to call from a plane.
Called Martin and his family weird.
Headbutts a door usher.
Smacks a man hard enough rendering him unconscious and steals his clothes for Eddie as a disguise. (Although the man deserved it for peeing on Eddie’s feet).
Gambled the money Martin gave Eddie and breaks the machine when he loses.
Murdered several soldiers.

Why He Doesn't Stand Out?[]

He is an anti-hero and he's on & off meaning he can switch between being a hero or a villain, as after he spends time and bonds with Eddie he ditches his plan on bringing the symbiotes to earth and instead stops Riot and Carlton Drake from doing so. He also kills Carnage and Cletus in order to stop their killing sprees.
The omnicide attempt was under Riot's orders, so he fails the heinous standards to him as well as Mysterio, Carlton Drake and Carnage.
He has many moments where he is played for laughs.
He cares about his owner Eddie, Anne & Mrs Chen, helping Eddie save Anne from Carnage.
He’s shown to have standards against animal cruelty saying he draws the line at dog fighting being disgusted at the four gang members even going as far as saying he wouldn’t eat the dogs.
He shown to love animals, calling a dog cute and saying he loves horses as he tells Eddie not to scare the horse. He also seems to be fond of families, particularly children, as he expresses his gratitude of not eating the Moon family.
He sacrificed himself to kill the Xenophages and destroy the Codex to prevent Knull from escaping his prison and conquer the universe, he even protects Eddie from the explosion, his death is even played by sympathy for his heroic sacrifice and Eddie misses him and fullfils his wish to go to see the Statue of Liberty.
