History

Eddie Brock was once a budding reporter. He was exposed to embarrassment after publishing a false report about the confession of a criminal. Afterwards, Brock sought solace in the Church where Spider-Man abandoned an alien symbiote. Sensing his weakness and hatred towards Spider-Man, the symbiote bonded with him and transformed him into "Venom".

At some point in time, Venom was kidnapped by Oscorp so that they may study the symbiote. During the Cosmic Brick crisis, Venom managed to escape and infect numerous Oscorp employees with the symbiote.

Cosmic Brick Crisis

When Spider-Man, Hawkeye, and Black Widow followed the Green Goblin to Oscorp, they were sent through a trapdoor to the lower levels of the building, where Venom's breakout had occurred. Venom stalked the three heroes throughout the entire floor, until he cornered them in a room. Venom fought the three heroes, but was eventually defeated when they exploited his weaknesses to sonic vibrations and fire. His attack, however, gave the Green Goblin just enough time to escape. Afterwards he is captured by S.H.I.E.L.D.

Eddie Brock's face

When Galactus arrived to Earth, being controlled by Loki, Venom was among the villains recruited by S.H.I.E.L.D. to help the heroes. Venom was assigned to 'Team Two' with Human Torch, Iron Man, and Abomination. Through the use of Venom's webbing and Iron Man's Thrusters, Team Two were able to redirect the Hellicarriers' rotor blasts towards Galactus. Eventually, the earth was saved, with Team Three summoning a Black Hole and Team Four knocking Galactus and Loki into it. As per Fury and Doom's earlier agreement, the villains were given a thirty second head-start to escape, an idea that was unintentionally sabotaged by Hulk's inability to count to three, allowing the villains to escape.

Maximum Overload

"Overloaded" and under Loki's control

Loki used his recently created "Norn Frost" on Venom, which "overloaded" his powers and placed him under Loki's control. Loki had Venom attack Spider-Man, and the two did battle in the Daily Bugle Building, before Spider-Man finally defeated him. Venom was taken into S.H.I.E.L.D. custody, though he broke out with the other overloaded super-villains. Like the others, he was released from Loki's control and put back into custody after Loki's defeat.

Kang's Invasion

Venom started to feel like the Symbiote was taking over and met up with fellow Symbiote Carnege and went to a clinic to get them checked out. However, it turned out that said clinic was a front for The Lizard to capture the two. Carnage then broke Venom out and the two fought the Lizard and escaped, later going to a park and playing Frisbee together.

Vexed by Venom

Venom would partner with Norman to steal two keys to access any power source from Roxxon to destroy the city and defeat Spider-Man, picking up one of these keys from a Roxxon truck. After the two were chased by Spider-Man into the Goblin's lab, Venom decides to ditch Norman and follow the plan alone. He attacked a Roxxon building to get one of the two access keys, he had a confrontation with Spider-Man, but he still managed to escape with the key.

Now with both keys, he attacked the Roxxon renewable source site and begins to carry out his plan to overload the power source and destroy the city. However, Peter tracked him down and used Spider-Mech to fight Venom. In the midst of the confrontation, Venom finds an old Roxxon Mech, and uses its symbiote to power up. Ultimately, Venom was defeated by Spider-Man and Ghost-Spider and run away in the water.
