Quotes by Edward Brock (Earth-616)

You only need to trust yourself. Is this who you really want to be? Some crime boss, pulling strings, benefitting from theft and murder? We just risked our lives stopping a man who was doing that. You've lost your empire... but weren't you always lucky? Now you can follow your own code. Punish the people who truly deserve it. Protect the innocent. After all, Cat... this city always need heroes.

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

Everyone's got an angel and a devil on their shoulder. That's what they said in group. What matters is which one you listen to. That's what they said in group. Jenna's my angel. I have to listen to her... ...or the devil might start talking again. I'm a force of good now. I've been given the gift of healing. I could heal this guy's hepatitis, even... If I wanted to. When I meet Jenna her veins were full of poison. But I used my powers to cleanse her. She was reborn. New. She now helps me navigate the streets. Helps me cut the cancer out of society. She's the proof that I can do good.

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

Men like these... They bring out the evil in people. That's how they make their money. They don't want you to change for the good... So I show them the old me.

The darkness that blankets this city is nothing. Nothing! Not compared to the shroud that Spider-Man pulled over me! He stole my life... shattered it... then cast it aside like yesterday's news! So it is only fitting, only fair, that I do the same to him! And I will. Very... very... soon!

You three relax and enjoy the ride. You always knew it would come down to him and me. No more trick guns, no more traps, no more werewolves. Symbiote against symbiote. Toxin against Carnage. It's a family thing.

If this is a dream -- then we're the hero...that makes you the villain. So...you're dead! See, there are some things as sharp as your claws!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

The Vault can't hold us, punk! We've broken out of here twice already!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

Fingers trembling, I unwrap the package. Legs almost buckling beneath me, I slip the costume on. It's cheap nylon. It hangs loosely on my body. It's nothing like the symbiote. But it's everything... the only thing... I need now.

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

Look. Look how I cut him out.

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

You are guilty of kidnapping, wreckless endangerment, and destruction of city property.

[...] That symbiote you hate so much... might just save your life!

Spider-Man?? Something I had to say about him. Something very important that everyone should--must know! But since dynamite blast--so cloudy...I don't remember...I don't remember......don't remember at all.

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

You ruined it, wallcrawler. I wanted to put some serious mileage between this place and me. But you couldn't let it go! Ya had to keep pushing me... until finally I just had to push back.

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

We are the victim of outrageous lies and vicious gossip! Carnage kills indiscriminately and at random... we choose our victims most carefully!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

Your senseless slaughter of innocents is about to end, Kasady!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

Way too late to rescue their formerly fearless leader! Without this clown's cowardly second-rate symbiote-wannabe -- big, bad killer Kasady is just another scoop of face meat!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

Did you really think... we would cry and beg... for mercy? You're the pathetic crybaby in this family, little boy... not us! Now... excuse us -- while we escape!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

We'll recruit the toughest, the most vicious bunch of fighters we can find -- and we'll crush Carnage's gang like the cockroaches they are! But, remember -- KASADY IS MINE!!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

I tried to tell you but you wouldn't listen: the suit's changing-- it's evolved. I'm all tapped out-- it can't use me no more. All this time I thought it wanted to be with me... ...but it only ever wanted you.

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

--now I know everything she ever knew! But that means......she knows as much about me!!!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

I promise, Ann--! --Eddie Brock will not come down there!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

What is this? Some kind of contract?

We're not monster! We're not! We can't be! No! No!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

We can't go on like this. It's got to stop. It's got to.

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

"My name is Eddie Brock, and I used to have a symbiotic relationship with an alien. When the Other left, it took half of me with it. Can’t live without it. Can’t live with what it’s become. I remember a t-shirt my ex-wife gave me a long time ago. ‘If you love something, set it free; if it doesn’t come back to you – hunt it down and kill it.’

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

Funny thing. Turns out chocolate’s a good source of the phenethylamine the Other needs. So, as long as I remember to buy it presents now and then – we’re gonna live happily ever after.

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

But we promised Ann that we would never try to kill Spider-Man again! And she said that if we could separate into Eddie and the other for good-- --she might consider taking Eddie back!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

Do they have white phosphorous grenades on your cesspool of a planet?

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

We'll spin your spine till it corkscrews your head! And for you, we'll punch your bladder up the back of your throat!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

There! An innocent! Hello, kitty. I'm VENOM. Do you need saving today?

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

Yes, we make a great hero! We can bash with the best of them! Heh heh. We'll be back!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

You're an obscenity, Carnage! You were given a gift of power from the very stars-- --and you would use it to kill innocents!! You deserve to get your brains scooped out with a runcible spoon!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

Nothing is going right with us!! Arrrrgh! We just don't deserve to have so much psychic pain!! But we can fix it right up, can't we?? We will fix it right up with some feel-good romping and stomping on our old pal Carnage!!!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

He wants out-- --and what he wants that bad, we're not going to give him! Let him rot in that place, and let him think about who put him back in there-- --us!!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

Yeah! Rats with a high soprano! Watch out for the fangs-- and that other thing! Like we have to tell you about fangs!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

Hey! For a cackling psychopath with lousy tailoring, you do good work! You should think about staying big like that, Demo--might be a good look for y-- Well, too late...

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

Don't you losers ever learn..? --that if you mess with Venom... ...you get your brains eaten!!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

We're all on the same side here. But you're blowing our quiet little rescue -- of a fellow journalist undercover in a local gang.

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

Wait! We lose sight of our mission! Must find the reporter... before it is too late! We must not be late!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

Call on us at your own risk!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

Your joy is reward enough -- and sends me leaping happily on my way.

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

MURDERER! He was only protecting hearth and home! So let your punishment fit the crime! And since your partner made no attempt to prevent that heinous act -- Let him share the just retribution! Heh.

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

We should kill you, but your instant of compassion has bought you your life!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

Perhaps we'll smash all of your masks first! Yes! That should make it much easier to decide -- whose face we want to eat first!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

That's it! We'll widen the beam and use it on all of them, destroy them before they can harm more innocents!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

We will be your friend, and more! From this day forward, all innocents can consider themselves under our protection! And whoever would dare do them harm will answer to... VENOM!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

Call me sleazy, huh? I'll eat your medulla oblongata!!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

Do you know how honked off it makes us that after we trash, bash and smash all of you......there aren't even going to be any brains to eat?

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

I don't see why the salmon do this every year......how much better can the mating be upstream?

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

Electricity hurts us, but it doesn't kill us. Just makes us angrier! And you have made us about as angry as we can get!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

It's not going to be easy, Knight... ...we are feeling rather annoyed with these stalkers... ...very, very annoyed!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

You hurt us before! It won't happen again! Now how about you take off your costume, buddy......and we finish this man to symbiote!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

Too much has happened to both of us for things to go back to exactly the way they were before. I need some time to think about the way things were between us. I need to know how much of what I've done in the past was because of you......and how much of it was me! And a real big part of me is afraid to have those questions answered.

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

Oh, don't thank us. It's what heroes do. Just remember when you tell your friends later... and you know you will......tell them how handsome we were too!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

Here's one for you-- "Exclusive! Sin-Eater revealed!" Eddie Brock A.K.A.-- --Venom!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

We're going to make you all right again, Ann......we promise. I promise.

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

A whole clip at point blank range in the face is even little much for my other to cope with-- --but as soon as we get ourselves together, we are going to reduce you to steak tartare!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

Welcome back, my other. It was starting to feel wrong without all the familiar nightmares running through my brain. You sort of get used to living in hell's side pocket.

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

The last thing we want to do, Beck! We'll recall the symbiote from our face -- for you.

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

This is your doing, villain! Another innocent hurt... ...one important to us!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

These villains force our hand......we must save Beck!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

I live for these moments, Spider-Man. Me... Eddie Brock. Beating you down... Like the weak-kneed little boy that you are... And then leaving you there. Broken, knowing that any time I want... We can come back and do it again.

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

Oooo... sexy. We love liberated women.

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

I must go protect the innocent creatures that maniac is trying to hunt. I'll try to keep Alchemax's name out of it.

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

You're the Spider-Woman. We've heard of you.

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

It's either you now... or the entire planet later.

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

Kill -- Venom!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

No, no, no. You've got it all wrong. Venom's old news... All played out. These days I prefer to be called-- Toxin!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

I'm not done with you! I'm gonna come back for you, Flash. Gonna teach you a lesson. Show you how dangerous a monster can be! And not just yours!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

Rumor has it that a symbiote is loose in New York. Somebody care to bring me up to speed?

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

We're back!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

You don't go through the fire... not like this... and remain unchanged.

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

Venom? Venom's gone. Feels like it's been gone forever. Maybe I'm just worn out... but everything I remember about it... everything that made Venom real... is all so distant and murky... like a dream that's fading away.

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

I'm a free man for the first time in a long time...

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

If our day is coming... let it come.

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

We couldn't figure it out. Why we kept losing control... the voices... the nightmares... every time we lost control and turned into that... thing... we thought we were going insane... but we know better now. My other was just reacting instinctively. Like an animal... baring its teeth to its alpha. Showing its belly to the same monster S.H.I.E.L.D. cut up and used to create those soldiers. The primordial symbiote that carried Knull's darkness across the stars... the Grendel. The alley. The warehouse. The rooftoop. My other was reacting to something else. Protecting me. We should have seen it. It was never us. It was you. Now... show us your teeth.

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

Much as I hate to admit it... Flash Thompson was a badass Venom.

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

Carnage. Son. I never thought I'd say this but-- How would you feel about a temporary--a very temporary--alliance with your old man?

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

We comprise a symbiote. I share this body with an alien other. But the part of me that is human still retains my original unaltered DNA.

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

Somebody has to do it, Matt......somebody has to save Spider-Man!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

Frankly, Carnage......no. You're just a self-centered geek who likes to inflict pain and suffering on others......you're a scum!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

I'd say it's pretty simple, Webs. It means -- we've got a fight on our hands.

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

Way I see it, these Poisons might be hard cases now, but that wasn't always the way. Before they found out that Venom Symbiotes would turn them into monsters, they were weak, cowardly. That just gave them a shot in the arm. Gave them a kick in the rear, but it turned them into bullies, too. Guess we all know a thing or two about that. But we aren't the ones hunting people -- consuming people. We chose to be better -- to be protectors. They think that's a weakness. Despite taking dozens of us, they still don't know the truth. That valuing life doesn't make you incapable of taking it when survival is at stake. They won't know how to deal with us... not when we stop running... not when we start hitting back... not when we're willing to die fighting them.

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

Big boys like you shouldn't make promises... you can't keep from breaking! So we'll wash your dirty little lungs out with... us!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

Come to papa, Carnage... we have some serious catching up to do!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

No. No. No. No. These Guardsmen were just doing their jobs. But now that the crash has set me free... the killers that snuffed out their innocent lives will suffer at the hands of... Venom!!!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

Wrong bad guy, Johnny! Now point that thing somewhere else, because... we're surrounded!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

Thanks, killer, but after I'm done eating Spider-Man's spleen... I'm coming for you. 'cause I'm that kind of guy!

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

I'm alone. Carnage is coming and I'm going to have to face him alone.

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)

That's the place. The guy inside -- he's called Haze Mancer -- he can tell us about those space pirates of yours.

--Edward Brock (Earth-616)
