V.E.N.O.M, Marvel ALT_ ideas:
The Origin of the Symbiote in this universe, is from the Nova planet known as Xander. Before Nova helmets were created, The Former Xandarian Government and a specific scientist- known as Knull created a symbiotic like suit they called “Klyntar” which could mimic Super Strength, Heal wounds extraordinarily fast, Super Speed and so forth.
The symbiotic suit was used for a decent Amount of time for Fellow Soldiers in the former Xandarian Government, however- this symbiotic suit began growing sentience. Instead of just bonding with hosts it would eventually begin controlling them. Sometimes even consuming their hosts entirely.
It became a parasite that multiplied and became a monstrous nightmare, hive mind creature that spread all across Xander. About 7 Billion People out of 8.2 billion people in total of the world were infected and controlled by this parasite.
The last city, known as The Capital of the Former Xandarian Government was the only last settlement of uninfected civilization standing.
Luckily a man under the name Richard Rider, used the Experimental “Nova Force” to create “The Worldmind” an Artificial Intelligence to aid in Destroying the Parasite using this Experimental Power, syphoned by Powerful Xandarian Computers / Technology, known as The Nova Force.
This creation of The Worldmind would also be the birth of “The Nova Corps” & would be able to give portions of its power to The whole of Xander, It’s technology, energy & Officers / weapons etc.
A majority of the people were saved however many individuals infected and the symbiotes themselves were intelligent enough to escape and go across the Galaxy, sending their parasites to different planets.
One of the many forms of the Parasite was sent to Earth, NYC in the year and date Feb the 4th- 1996.
The meteorite landed, with the parasite but it seems that the Klyntar symbiote attached to the meteorite, is disconnected from the Klyntar HIVE Mind due to its impactful landing on earth. It also seemed like it could barely move due to its injuries- it was almost dead.
However S.H.I.E.L.D at the time notices the meteorite on their satellites and Nick Fury the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D at the time sent Richard Parker along with Norman Osborn to check it out.
When the 2 S.H.I.E.L.D Agents arrived they reported in what they believe to be a alien life form. Fury orders them to bring it to a discrete location and make sure no one is following them.
The 2 went to go to said discrete location and enter a secret facility which seems to hold many forms of aliens, test subjects & foreign technologies in this secret laboratory space they’re in, such as Skrulls, Howard The Duck, Dark Elves, The Darkhold and so forth.
Fury demands that the 2 agents test on the alien no matter how unethical the tests ordered may seem. It also turns out that Osborn actually influenced fury to do such tests in order for his own selfish studies and possible use at Oscorp.
Regardless the 2 conduct experiments on the alien. The project name of this Alien is called:
V.E.N.O.M
Standing for:
Volumetric
Ectoplasmic
Network
Of
Morphogenesis
However it was classified under as a "Symbiote" by none other than Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four, back in the day.
Richard & Norman figure out the weaknesses of the alien and see that it is vulnerable to sound, heat / fire and ice / Hot - Cold Temperatures.
However the Alien regardless of all this has found a liking to the Richard but never to Norman.
One day, in the year 2002 about 2 weeks after Peter Parker is born, Richard is erratically packing all his and his family's equipment, Luggage and everything they can possibly pack that they hold dear- as Richard fear's for his own life and his family's lives.
Mary Parker, his wife and mother of his only new born infant son, Peter- is begging Richard to stop and help her understand what exactly is happening / going on.
However, Richard angrily and fearfully responds by telling Mary that he will explain it all later, and insists that they are all in danger and must go NOW.
The reason why Richard is scared is because he has been exposed. It turns out that behind Fury’s back, Richard has actually been bonding with the alien and has been calling it “The Suit”. Osborn came across Richard's secret notes about him bonding with the alien and even heard / saw him doing it a few times in secret.
The notes said that “The Suit” has the ability to enhance an individual’s every physical faculties, their senses and even morph weapons, tendrils and so forth from itself.
Most importantly, because of “The Suit" 's abilities to heal at an extraordinary rate. Richard even believed that this alien could be the key to curing diseases, disabilities, and even Cancer.
Osborn believes that Richard is compromised and needs to be dealt with.
Fury with disappointment and sadness on his face agrees and tells a backup of S.H.I.E.L.D agents to locate Richard & his family, along with guarding the Alien.
Richard who managed to overhear this went home and started to pack and get ready to run away with his wife and newborn son Peter.
It also seems that The Richard Parker seem to be experiencing a form of addiction withdraw. He was throwing up, screaming, angry and begging to get another taste of that juicy alien suit.
Richard Parker, hell bent on getting the suit all while Mary Parker his wife and Peter his newborn child are in Richard's car- manage to get away from the S.H.I.E.L.D agents in the city, whilst on the way to the secret laboratory where “The Suit” is being held.
They finally get to the Laboratory and see that it is guarded by Osborn and a squad of S.H.I.E.L.D agents with their guns traced onto both of them.
Osborn in his “Green” Technological S.H.I.E.L.D suit along with his Glider is ready to fight. Osborn and Richard Parker start arguing with each other and “the Suit” itself becomes more aggressive because of Richard Parker’s presence due to “The Suit's connection to him.
While Norman and Richard go back and forth, The Alien starts breaking the glass and eventually shatters it, quickly rushes & leaps towards Richard, bonding to him.
Richard using “The Suit” proceeds to fight Osborn and the S.H.I.E.L.D agents alongside him, all whilst Mary Parker scared for her own life along with her newborn child she is holding is in the background.
The fight between Richard Parker and Norman Osborn is epic, in between punches and moments, each strike being more brutal then the last.
However during their battle, Mary is accidently shot and killed in the crossfire by Norman Osborn. The shots, Barely missed Peter Parker. When Mary collapsed, her newborn was crying in her dead arms.
The fight ends in Osborn, on the ground- barely able to move from his injuries. The Suit begins to influence an enraged Richard to strike Osborn in order to kill him and exact revenge for his wife whom was just killed by Norman by accident. Just as Richard is about to swing a deadly strike against a brutally beaten Norman Osborn, Richard is shot with an experimental alien / technological rifle. Within moments so Osborn with what’s left in him manages to capture the Alien in a containment like device.
The Parker’s are dead. On the ground bleeding out all because of this Alien basically. Fury looks down in sadness and disappointment once again except even more than before. He helps Osborn up and they both leave the facility- locking up the Alien, removing the Parker’s dead Body’s, along with Fury grabbing Peter Parker the Parkers newborn child into his arms.
The Alien would never be seen again until Peter becomes Spider-Man and that whole ARC begins.
Peter as a newborn baby after these events is then given to the next of Kin, Ben Parker and May Parker personally by Nick Fury himself and an associate, Natasha Romanoff.
You see, Knull- The Top Scientist of the Former Government on Xander and creator of the Klyntar: Studied and understood how his creation works.
When his creation became sentient they grew spirals on their face. Some form of symbol to represent the Klyntars HIVE mind independence. The Klyntar called Knull their father. The Klyntar consumed Knull and Knull was assumed dead.
However, Knull is alive and would be known as The King of Symbiotes, God of The Klyntar.
Anyways In regards of the Story of V.E.N.O.M, Eventually the Son of The Parkers- Also known as, Peter Parker.
One day gets bitten by a genetically Modified Spider, more details in regards of Peter Parker’s Origin as Spider-Man in this continuity are in a separate note pad / section.
One day, Nick Fury shows Peter “The Collector” Vault. The top Hutcho (Australian Slang for "Boss") of the facility & scientist that works there & under S.H.I.E.L.D is, Eddie Brock.
Nick Fury introduces Peter & Brock to each other & the two get along very quickly.
Fury also explains that Brock is only 23 years of age & is already overseeing, let alone at such a high position under S.H.I.E.L.D, Classified Payroll at such a young age due to his genius & brilliance.
Peter & Eddie find each other relatable & The Eddie tells Peter that when he was around Peters age, he was almost exactly like him.
Expressing how, he too became an orphan, how He had back then & still has a massive interest & Knack for science, how he used to work at The Daily Bugle as a Photographer, Casual Journalist etc.
Eddie also tells Peter that his Father knew Peters Parents & was also a scientist- who actually took over this project when Peters Parents "moved on to other ventures".
Eddie would ask Peter what he is up to these days and after finding out he is still in highschool and so forth, he would also elaborate about himself. How he is at collage studying a Masters at NYU, what his father did when he took over the V.E.N.O.M Project etc.
Eddie would explain that when his dad took over the project, he found Richard's notes and found a particular one interesting. This particular being about how the suit can possibly be wield the power of super regeneration & also produce its own organic cures for its hosts diseases such as Cancer, a disease which Eddies Mother died off, shortly after Eddie was born. However, Eddies father died in a "car accident" and ever since then Nick Fury & The son of Eddie Brock Sr have been overseeing the collectors Vault and also prominently the V.E.N.O.M Project.
Peter says he never knew his dad worked on a V.E.N.O.M Project & Eddie is unnervingly laughs, since he forget he isn't allowed to mention Peters dad in any shape or form, direct ordered by Nick Fury himself.
Regardless, this would be the beginning of a great friendship between the two, plus Eddie knows Peter is Spider-Man off the bat & the trust is there until…
When Eddie & Peter after a couple weeks into their friendship start to talk face to face while having Coffee & Eddie accidentally slips up & says something about Peters Parents.
Peter, hearing this gets curious due to the fact that he never knew his parents, only that his dad was a scientisg that worked for S.H.I.E.L.D but that’s it.
Of course, Peter asks for more detail but Eddie says that he cant, that the information is classified & that he promised Nick Fury, Personally to specifically never talk about “The Parker’s” to Peter Parker, his kin or anyone associated with.
Peter is stunned & a little upset due to the secrecy & Eddie Brock Apologizes for the inconvenience.
Eventually the two depart after having Coffee but When Peter gets home he starts to try to find anything about his parents.
Peter finds Photographs of Ben, May & His parents together, when they were all younger etc but nothing relevant to what Peter is looking for, necessarily.
The Next day at Night time, Peter as Spider-Man, follows Eddie Brock on his way to “The Collector” Vault, since he knows he works a Night shift every Thursday.
Peter manages to bypass all the security & such when entering The Facility & notices, Eddie Brock activating a Hidden passage- revealing Stairs.
Peter, stealthily follows Eddie & sees that Eddie is overseeing Project: V.E.N.O.M.
Peter wonders why there is so much secrecy around some moving, Black goop in a glass container, confounded in some big room.
But as Peter continues this train of thought, he sees Eddie click & watch a Video made by… Richard Parker?
Peters eyes get glued to the monitor, Eddie is watching from & The Video shows & explains what, V.E.N.O.M is from the point of view ot Richard Parker, what he and Norman Osborn have discovered about it, it’s weaknesses etc.
During the Video, Peter hears that this black Goop, is an Alien life form. Peter panics & starts to think “Alien???!” Reminded back to the Massive Attack on New York by Ultron ages ago.
Eddie Brock sighs & says to himself that he wish he could tell Peter what his dad was up to.
Eddie starts texting Peter & Peters Phone buzzes. The buzzing catches both Peter & Eddie off guard & Eddie is confused of where that sound came from.
Eddie starts to freak out & wonder if someone has somehow entered The Collector Vault, But Eddie freezes for a moment & starts to think to himself, that the moment he texted Peter- he heard the sudden sound of a phone buzzing…
Just as Eddie puts it Together, Eddie gets webbed up By Peter. Eddie asks Peter what the hell he is doing & Peter asks why he is watching footage of his dad.
Eddie continues going on, demanding why Peter is here in a classified area none the less & starts to ask if Peter followed him?
Peter looks down, giving Eddie his answer. Eddie gets angry & tells Peter that he is gonna ask one last time, why. The hell. Is he here.
Peter explains that ever since Eddie slipped up about the comment he said about his parents, Peter has been obsessed with them ever since. Peter basically just wants answers & asks if this, V.E.N.O.M Project is what his parents were mainly working on, under S.H.I.E.L.D.
Eddie doesn’t answer & Peter continues by going on about how he never knew his parents & that it would be really nice to know who they were & what happened to them? What REALLY happened to them.
Eddie sighs & explains that he can’t tell him but Peter interrupts him & says that he understands that this whole kinda thing is Top Secret & Classified, especially when It’s Nick Fury personally making it so but Peter demands to get answers.
Eddie says that if he tells Peter anything in regards of his Parents, that he would lose his job or worse but Peter in frustration, angrily slams his fist into the wall & in a rage says that fact does not matter & that he deserves to know!!
The black goop reacts to Spidey's violence and suddenly freezes as it feels. A distant connection between itself and Spidey.
The symbiote begins to violently erupt in the glass containment device it's kept in and breaks through the lab window, attaching itself to Spidey. Spidey lets go of Eddie and Eddie runs away to let fellow S.H.I.E.L.D staff know of the breach.
Whilst Spidey was frozen, he was basically recapped. Of everything. The Alien arrives on Earth, up to his parents' execution by the hands of Norman Osborn. Keep in mind at this point of time, Norman Osborn is fully the Green Goblin, has killed his former lover MJ, was locked up in the raft but got released during the Infinity War Marvel ALT_ Event.
Norman is currently missing and his whereabouts are unknown. Peter's rage begins to come out and “The Suit” reacts to it, amplifying his strength, making him more tense and so on.
Peter screams out in rage and with his powers and newly found symbiote, he launches himself so fast that he bypasses quarantine lockdown doors, S.H.I.E.L.D Guards and smashes out of the secret lab, smashing through a road. That luckily is blocked off due to S.H.I.E.L.D from earlier.
Spidey, using symbiotic tendrils latches and swings from building to building in the night of NYC.
Spidey realizes he can't go home since S.H.I.E.LD know who he is. A week or so passes & Peter Parker has now gone missing and Aunt May is crying out for people to help look. At this time, Madeline Watson was helping Aunt May since she was panicking and was becoming extremely worried since it's been over a week since Peter went missing.
During this week, Peter who is homeless as Spider-Man now has The V.E.N.O.M. Symbiote and has caused havoc and public destruction from stopping robberies, super villain fights, S.H.I.E.L.D altercations and so on.
The people of NYC are sort of scared of Spidey due to his new appearance, his new found rage and angst as well as his cold aura.
During this time span, the V.E.N.O.M Symbiote would heavily influence Peter with dark thoughts, voices, hallucinations, paranoia etc.
We cut to a thundering rain at night. Spidey, held by multiple Symbiotic tendrils, is sleeping between Gothic architecture.
During his sleep, Peter meets a duplicate copy of his father in the symbiotes astral plane. The two talk about what had happened and Richard expresses his regret of not being around. The two embrace and Richard expresses worry about his anger as of wearing the suit.
In this universe, the symbiote does influence and warp its host if it chooses to. It can also cause hallucinations where entire scenarios, situations etc simply appear or cease to exist. The symbiote can also cause intense paranoia. The symbiote may pretend to be a loved one in order to have a greater chance of influencing its host. However a perfectly synced host and symbiote don't have this issues necessarily.
It also doesn't help that around this time not that long ago, Norman Osborn / Green Goblin killed the love of peters life, MJ- but also his parents on top of that.
That and the fact that Norman is no longer in the raft super human / supermax prison and is still out there probably doing who the hell knows what.
Peter Is in a very dark place and it's only gonna get worse for him.
Peter doesn't respond to his father’s worries and closes his eyes and wakes up in real life, covered in the symbiote. Hanging by tendrils. The Symbiote wraps itself on Peter, REVEALING in all his glory, Black / Symbiote Spider-Man with an awesome connection white Spider Symbol.
Overtime we see Peter become more dark. Almost like Sasuke from manga / anime Naruto, where he cuts all his ties and stays in solitude in order to be the best shinobi, except in Peter's case its to be the best spiderman. This state of Symbiote Spider-Man also mirrors how he was directly after Mary Jane's death, and how he became dark, except at around that time he didn't have a symbiote.
We cut to Eddie who is vehemently expressing his concerns about the Symbiote and its effect on Parker. Eddie also expresses concern about S.H.I.E.L.D potentially having to kill the symbiote.
Nick Fury responds by saying that it won't come to that, whilst having a flashback of when he had to kill Richard Parker when he was addicted to the symbiote.
Eddie frowns and looks back on his computer to get more data of Parkers whereabouts.
We then cut to Parker as Black / Symbiote Spider-Man, swinging out of the top of his wrist via the symbiote. Spidey now with the symbiotes, attempts to stop a car chase. Spidey uses the symbiote to grow tendrils which rip off all the criminals wheels and then proceeds to use said tendrils to hold the car itself back.
The criminals see Spidey's new skill set and immediately surrender.
Spidey laughs to himself but then his phone rings. The phone ringing in his pocket causes the symbiote on Spidey to be in pain and Parker himself gets pain from this.
The criminals, confused- used this opportunity none the less, to strike at Spidey in this moment.
However, the symbiote crushes Peters Phone and reforms back on Spidey and begins to brutally beat the assess of all the criminals present using the symbiote, his amplified strength and sheer power.
After the fight, Peter remarks about how he feels amazing. How he is a stronger Spider-Man then he has ever been.
All the sudden a barrage of Shield Agents arrive with their guns with laser sights pointed at Spider-Mans chest. Nick Fury himself arrives and tells Spider-Man to surrender the symbiote.
Spidey says in response that this symbiote is a living entity and deserves to live and be free just like the rest of us.
However Nick interrupts and says that suit his wearing is a alien symbiotic organism known as Klyntar. Fury explains the Klyntar's origins to Spidey and Fury also explains that the symbiote Spidey is wearing is disconnected from the Klyntar HIVE Mind, and most likely no recollection of the events pre meteorite landing on earth.
This^ illustrates how ontop of things Nick Fury is in this continuity.
This surprises the symbiote & all of a sudden the symbiote screams in pain and sees visions of Klyntar all around the Galaxy, thousands of pov's, memories, experiences, births & deaths of every klyntar organism is coming at the venom symbiote & Peter all at once.
The symbiote & Peter begin to have a seizure. The symbiote starts to convulse and violently shred anything in the path of its tendrils.
The seizure the symbiote has on them both simply causes the symbiote to enter a black dark purple-ish cocoon, presumably with Spidey inside. Gestating in some shape or form.
What emerged from the cacoon was a Spider-Man that was completely controlled by the V.E.N.O.M Symbiote.
The Symbiote, whilst using Peter's body causing havoc and destroys and beats up all the shield agents around and starts to battle Nick Fury himself.
Spider-Man enraged, asks why Fury killed his dad. Why did Fury let Norman get away with killing his mum etc.
Fury explains that the symbiote is a deadly addiction that affects the hosts, Richard Parker being a prime example. Fury explains how he couldn't let Shield or anyone else be compromised due to Richard Parker & Norman Osborn's involvement.
Peter however rejects this and screams at Fury to fight him. Peter is now using massive symbiotic attacks. Fury is standing his ground due to his extreme skill, Shield tech / gadgets and so on.
The Tendrils spike out of Peter as Peter screams in rage for FURY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fury genuinely startled by this roar from Parker, is suddenly hit and then grabbed by the Symbiotes tendrils.
Peter begins to strangle Fury's torso and other parts of fury's body via symbiotic tendrils. Peter begins to tighten the tendrils and Fury groans in pain.
Peter says to Fury, WE WILL TEAR YOU APART!
Fury, groaning as the tendrils tightens responds by saying "We?"
However Fury gasps for air as Peter using the suit's tendrils to tighten and attempt to contort Furys body apart.
However, Eddie shouts for the Symbiote in person. He asks for it to come back. The Symbiote covered Spider-Man snarls back at Eddie and Fury tells Eddie that if he doesn't go, he will be even more fired then he already is.
Eddie in shock goes "Fired?"
Fury looks at Eddie and says "This is all your fault".
Eddies eyes go wide.
However, Fury activates loud sonic attack, which disrupts Peters symbiote and Fury screams at Parker to FIGHT IT.
After some hesitation, Peter begins to rip the symbiote off his body and throws it away.
Coincidentally toward, Eddies direction...
Spider-Man collapses and catches his breath. Fury whimpers from his injuries and orders Eddie to contain the V.E.N.O.M Symbiote.
Eddie looks down, he contemplates what he is thinking and says "You're not my boss anymore Fury".
Fury's eye widens and Fury says "No. NO NO. Don't do it Eddie!!"
Spider-Man, barely recovering looks back to see the symbiote slowly going toward Eddie Brock. How Eddie Kneels and just accepts the symbiote coming to him.
Eddie thinks about how his dad regardless of being a scientist was a strong Religious Christian, and Eddie remembers going to Sunday Church with his dad when he was younger.
Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
And how for some reason... The symbiote attaching itself to Eddie, gives off that same feeling he had with his father. A feeling of familiarity, but more than that- A bond.
Spidey shouts to Eddie "Eddie!!! What are you doing??!! Contain that THING, we gotta destroy it" etc.
Eddie however says to himself that he knows exactly what he is doing. He is becoming more. How together, he and the symbiote will become even better than Spider-Man.
Spider-Man, panic's as he doesnt get a response from Eddie and from Spdieys pov, the symbiote is awfully close to Eddie.
Spidey starts running & screaming for Eddie.
Spidey falls and barely recovers to stop the symbiote from bonding to Eddie. However, just as Spidey can grab the symbiote, it fully attaches itself to Eddie Brock and a massive symbiote explosion erupts. The environment they're in is symbiote-fied and a huge gross, black cocoon is in the Centre of said environment. Tendrils coming from the cacoon and all of a sudden...
All the symbiote material in the environment returns back to Eddie, and Venom in all his glory is fully formed. The white venom symbol and hand marks appear and Venoms teeth, entire mouth and massive tongue appears.
Peter says toward the massive bulky black monster... Eddie? Is that you in there?
Eddie's head begins to emit from the mouth of Venom. Eddie says in response to Peter, "We have Evolved."
Peter says in response "We?".
Eddie responds however and says "You see the name V.E.N.O.M may have originated from observation of the symbiote, but now it has a deeper meaning. A complete one."
Peter responds by asking "Oh yeah and what's that?"
Eddie's head slowly gets devoured by the V.E.N.O.M Symbiote as Venom snickers and the symbiote and Eddie say in Unity that "Together, WE ARE POISION TO BOTH PETER PARKER & SPIDER-MAN. WE. ARE. VENOM."
This sends chills down Peter's spine as he wonders what to do. Fury tells Peter that he can barely move and says that they need to get out of here.
Spidey begins to go oh yeah right and amateurishly gets ready to web-swing fury and himself away.
However all of a sudden, at intense speeds Venom grabs Spider-Man's head and shoves it into the ground, slamming the ground level in the building they are in, causing more havoc and chaos.
Spidey lands in debris, looks up in pain and sees Nick Fury is knocked out. He then hears Venom jump down through the ground slam holes to find Spidey & Fury.
Venom, looks through the debris for Spidey, but Spidey suddenly surprise attacks venom and asks them a question.
Spidey asks how his Spidey-Sense didn't tingle when Venom attacked him just then.
Venom laughs and explains that they spent a lot of time together. At this point, probably sub-consciously you don't consider us a threat?
Spidey says "Stop saying us, it's annoying."
Venom responds by saying "Aww jealous? We have completed pure symbiosis. Something we were meant to achieve together. Remember Parker? The Power, the might, the sheer feeling of strength itself being by your side. However, you lost the right to earn that privilege when you just threw us away."
Venom grabs the Spider-Man by his head and throws him so hard, Spidey goes flying through 4 buildings.
Venom jumps after Spidey and lands on top of him. Venom begins to rant by saying to Spidey: "You also made us lose our job at the end of the day, you made us feel powerless. We trusted you Peter. We really did. But look at you now. Pitiful".
We then see a heavily injured Spider-Man
Venoms head raises as he feels that even though Spidey separates with the Venom symbiote- there is still cells and parts of the Venom symbiote that still remain inside Peter Parker.
Venom uses said remaining parts and essentially makes the venom cells and parts eat Parker from the inside. Peter screams in agony.
Venom then says, to give you a better chance at attempting to destroy us, we will take what remains within you, into us.
The Venom cells within Parkers body begin to float and reattach itself to the Venom symbiote. Peter however during this process is in incredible pain.
Peter, breathing heavily after all the remaining Venom cells in his body were taken / returned to the venom symbiote.
Venom says to the heavily injured Spidey "We will see you soon enough, Pete".
Venom then Jumps out of the area it was in and we see that it goes into a nyc sewer.
Spidey, still heavily injured can barely stand us and is struggling to walk. He looks at all the destruction and blames himself.
During a span of 3 weeks, Venom is in hiding and S.H.I.E.L.D and others are actively trying to find Venom's location in order to arrest and imprison both the Venom Symbiote, but also Eddie Brock Jr.
Spidey returns back home, Aunt May is pissed naturally and demands to know what's going on with Peter, where he was this past week, how she has been worried sick etc.
This is where Peter basically has no choice but to reveal that he is Spider-Man. Aunt May is surprised but also kinda more shocked since its now all making sense. The Spider-bite Peter got at Avengers tower, all the times Pete suddenly ran out on Aunt May because there was a supervillain that needed to be sorted out etc.
Naturally this causes a rift between the two since Peter kept such a secret for so long.
Also interestingly enough, since Peter no longer has any of the Venom symbiote remaining in his system whatsoever, he doesn't experience the intense addiction withdrawals his father did.
This is because his dad did have the symbiote in his system and obviously the symbiote is manipulating, potentially harming or even psychologically harming hosts who are detached to the symbiote for too long in order to induce Addiction. The symbiote is very Clingy.
3 weeks eventually pass. There's an update on the V.E.N.O.M case, a still recovering injured Nick Fury says.
Supposedly, NYC sewer system has been the new home of the V.E.N.O.M Symbiote & its new host, Eddie Brock Jr- former overseer & head scientist of the secret S.H.I.E.L.D facility known as "The Collectors Vault". Fury was actually inspired by the collector in the past and that's why he made the secret location and its Vault like structure, the way it's formatted.
Venom, is what the two are calling themselves. Eddie Brock Jr & the V.E.N.O.M symbiote have fully bonded. Fury explains how there is no saving Brock and that they must recapture the symbiote at all costs.
Nick Fury continues by saying how Eddie & the Symbiote are calling themselves Venom and are referring to themselves as we, us etc. Fury explains that The symbiote retains all the memories, powers and so forth of its past hosts, prime example being Peter Parker Spider-Man.
Fury states that "Venom" is very dangerous and that everyone whom he is briefing which BTW is a bunch of S.H.I.E.L.D agents & Spidey himself- must be careful and be ready.
Fury says that the brief is over.
Fury walks to Spidey and has a private conversation with him. Spidey takes off his mask and says that he is sorry for what he did to fury. And fury apologizes for what he did to him, referring to how fury killed his dad.
Peter sighs in frustration but says he understands, since the symbiote is like an addiction. The perks seem to great but the cons are terrible of the use of the symbiote, at least now.
Fury agrees and the two sit in awkward silence for 10 seconds or so.
Spidey then suddenly says to Fury that the real killer of his dad wasn't Fury, it was truly the symbiote's fault. An aura of vengeance rushes all over Spidey due to this revelation.
Fury looks down as he doesn't entirely believe that but in a way thanks Peter by shacking his hand and saying "let's find Venom".
We see a tech armored Fury, heaps of armored S.H.I.E.L.D agents & Spidey swinging in the city to departure toward different sewer entrances in order to track down Brock & The Symbiote.
Eventually all S.H.I.E.L.D operatives, Spidey & even Fury himself enter NYC sewer systems.
Spidey swings through sewers and comments of how bad it smells. Fury via intercom then says to Spidey's earpiece: That is why I suggested you wear one of our armor sets, and then says how the helmets get rid of the bad smell.
Spidey replies saying how it would just slow him down and that to be honest it's not for him, Insinuating its ugly.
Fury chuckles and tells Spidey to focus.
Once Spidey focuses, he sees a bunch of Dead bodies within the Sewer water he is near. He tells Fury this and Fury looks via a watch to see a map, and Spidey's whereabouts. Fury says how him and a few of his team are coming his way and then proceeds to command a squadron to split and have half of said split squadron to cover for the area fury and his team were looking at, just Incase. This illustrates just how serious of a threat Venom is if Nick Fury of all people is nervous.
Spidey sees how some of the dead bodies are bitten into. Slaughtered meat in a sense. A butchery of humans and even other organisms alike.
A voice down the sewer pipe calls for Peter.
Spidey gets startled and calls out for Eddie. He doesn't get a response so he calls out for Venom instead.
Venom responds by saying "We have waited for you for such a long time Parker".
Spidey says that 3 weeks really isn't a long time but considering the state Eddie is in, he can blame him entirely for mistaking time.
Venom says WE ARE NOT FOOLS PARKER. WE ARE YOUR BETTER. YOUR TRUE FORM.
Spidey gets pissed by Venoms last comment about how Venom is Spider-Man's true form.
Spidey screams out for Eddie / Venom to come out and show himself. Venom responds: We have been this whole time. I guess your Spidey Sense never noticed.
Spidey's eye lenses widen and realizes that he has been vulnerable in the sewer for a long time and starts to freak out and try to figure out what the issue is ASAP. Time is super slowed since he is using his super human abilities to focus all his mental into figuring out Venoms next move and what he potential did to Spidey this whole time he was in the sewer.
Just as Spidey is getting super tired due to the strain of this intense focus and slow of time for his pov, he looks down and sees his feet are connected to Black / Dark Purplish Tendrils.
However unfortunately for Spidey, his focus powers reach their limit and we are brought back in real time, to see Venom use said tendrils wrapped around Spidey's feet to fling him through the sewer system, toward Venom itself, on a symbiote web of corpses and blood.
Spidey's neck is grabbed and he is gasping for air while Venom strangles Parker.
Venom says a variation of a iconic Venom comic line to Spidey. Venom says to Spidey: Eyes, Lungs. Pancreas. So many snacks & so little time.
Fury then appears he blasts a cosmic sonic projectile from his advanced tech rifle.
However, Venom simply flicks a finger and makes a hard wall of pure Symbiote that is hit by Fury blast. However due to how hard the wall is, it is barely affected from Furys blasts and more blasts in the future unless its super strong or Venom itself undoes the wall/s.
Venoms says to Spidey: "Looks like we have a little bit of Alone time Parker.
Venom then begins to fling Spidey across the environment and its old hard bricked / cement impact from every hard fling from Venom has Spidey in a decent amount of Pain before the two or technically the 3 if you consider the symbiote- even truly begin their battle.
However, Peter can use that intense focus he felt and in a flash- he exits the symbiotes grasps and starts bouncing all over the enviornment, around Venom. Spidey is going so fast due to his intense use of his super human focus abilities & speeds that he is creating After-images of himself.
Venom in the middle laughs and says to Spidey that they were once Parker, if Peter recalls.
Spidey thinks about how a personal little theory he had ages ago must be actually true. Spidey / Peter is referring to how The Symbiote has the ability to make mental duplicates of its previous hosts, have all the memories and even super powers of the symbiotes previous host.
Which means that Venom is essentially saying that in a way. They are Spider-Man, due to the duplication of Spideys abilities and having a mental duplicates of Parker inside the V.E.N.O.M symbiote's mindscape & has all the memories of Peter Parker which argo means Venom knows all of Parkers tricks in fights, the way Peter thinks as Spidey, what makes him tick etc due to the fact that Pete was a previous host of the symbiote.
Venom goes into a stance and proceeds to do exactly what Spidey is doing except Venom goes even faster. Venom creates holes in the area they are all in due to how fast and massive Venom is, in comparison to Spidey.
Spidey freaks and eventually we see Venom in slow motion use its superhuman focus abilities that if got from one of its previous hosts Peter Parker / Spider-Man.
Venom using said power, roars and grabs Spidey by his leg and attempts to Slam Spidey.
However Spidey predicts this and manages to maneuver and counter Venoms attempted slam with a devastating back head punch. So devasting & powerful it causes a sonic boom, which causes a fuss for Venom due to one of its weaknesses being Decently to loud and above sonic noises / vibrations.
Venom screams in pain and the symbiote starts to have a fit. Spidey then goes into full on "LOCK IN MODE" and proceeds to punch Venom at such Intense speeds with each punch causing Sonic booms and causing Venom to have a fit and be vulnerable to more of Spideys powerful sonic boom noise causing attacks.
Venom starts to lock in as well and says "WE WILL NOT LOSE TO YOU EVER AGAIN PARKER" and it proceeds to parry, dodge and even counter blows at intense speeds toward Spidey.
The Two exchange a flurry of powerful blows at intense powerful speeds, something out of an anime this fight seems.
However before Spidey can go even more hectic, a ton of Venom tendrils pop out the walls of the sewer environment he and Venom are in & trap Spidey on a wall.
Venom comes up to Spidey & explains: "Ever since our last encounter, we have been planting our roots all under the city.
Venom goes on by saying how much more powerful they have become due to consuming and eating biomass / people, other living organisms etc.
However Venom states that they have unlocked the ability to absorb and eat other forms of matter. Hence why Venom has been able to get so powerful in such a short span of time (3 weeks) and how it managed to get all its symbiote roots under the city, since there's lots of underground to spare and consume for the symbiote itself, Argo it becoming stronger.
Spidey's Eyes widen and Spidey asks what Venoms planning to do. Venom chuckles & says "We plan to do what you can't. To be your better. We are New York's new Lethal Protector."
Spidey freaks and Pleads Venom not to do whatever he plans to do to NYC.
Long story short, due to the Symbiote having some visions of the Klyntar HIVE mind earlier, due to Nick Fury's explanation of its Origins when it was bonded to Peter- it remembers that yes its apart of a hive mind but is still also an independent entity. This has never been seen before.
Regardless of the symbiotes disconnection from its HIVE, since it remembers its past obligations, it, with the help of Eddie- decides to infect the whole NYC with the Venom Symbiote in order to eventually infect the whole planet in the name of the Klyntar / Knull.
Eventually one way or another Spidey and some of his allies who are not infected, win against Eddie / Venom. I have to expand on this particular bit but I haven't exactly what to do / write for this part. For now lets continue and most likely later down the track I will edit this and fill in the gaps with detail, story and what not.
In the aftermath, 90% of the Venom Symbiote was destroyed from a S.H.I.E.L.D's helicarrier's bombardment of experimental sonic bombs designed to incapacitate the symbiote, along with explosives. The Centre of NYC is destroyed due to said bombardment. The Helicarrier was being attacked by the Venom Symbiote in its ultimate final form during the bombardment process, but Luckily the helicarrier managed to survive.
The remaining 10% was found, weak and contained by S.H.I.E.L.D. Eddie Brock himself was found and is actually still Alive. Whilst he was unconscious post S.H.I.E.L.D finding him, S.H.I.E.L.D imprisoned Eddie and extracted 99.9% of The Symbiote from his system. However this means found that Eddie still has 0.1% of the V.E.N.O.M Symbiote still inside him.
Fury believes that Eddie needs to be put in the Raft due to the possibility of various scenarios and reasonings, but in the end Spidey convinces Fury to try to get Eddie into Ravencroft. In spite of all the chaos caused and destruction, Spidey still believes Eddie is a decent person deep down and that because he has 0.1% of the symbiote left, that he is no longer a superhuman threat- hence Spidey's recommendation for Eddie to go to Ravencroft Prison.
Plus, the public doesn't know the identity of Venom / Eddie Brock, the public only saw the monster that took over NYC. Spidey, Fury and the rest of S.H.I.E.L.D decided that keep it that way by making Eddies Brock identity a secret to never be told or mentioned ever to the public.
Fury is convinced and sends Eddie Brock to Ravencroft Prison and is given fake charge's since he isn't known as Venom. Eddie is convicted for 5 Years.
When Eddie moves into his prison cell, he meets his cell mate.
Cletus Kasady.
We then cut to Fury having a chat with Spidey during the day and talk about how his agents are pissed about Eddie only getting 5 years, considering what he really did.
Spidey gets frustrated and says that he knows Eddie is trying and that he deserves a second chance, considering Spidey wronged Eddie first.
In a future storyline, Venom would return when the remaining 10% of the V.E.N.O.M Symbiote would escape and break Eddie out of Ravencroft Prison. Eddie would rebond with the Symbiote and together return as Venom. The two breaks out together and Cletus is confused.
Also it turns out that the 0.1% of Symbiote inside of Eddie was actually the offspring of Venom. Before Death, Venom asexually procreated and 0.1% of its form was the "Symbiote Seed".
The seed itself is slimy, black / patchy and red. This slimy seed is left after Venom now re-bonded to Eddie escapes Jail. Cletus, who was present is bleeding from his hand due to the breakout.
The red 0.1% Symbiote seed is next to Cletus bloody / injured hand. The seed, slimes itself onto cletus hand injury and enters Cletus' Body.
This would begin the origin of Carnage in the Marvel ALT_ Continuity.
During Eddies time in prison, he heavily began to resent Spider-Man / Peter Parker.
He also began a somewhat rival yet companionship type of friendship / relationship with his cell mate Cletus Kasady.
During Eddie's incarnation. Eddie would attempt to activate the symbiote inside of him since he heard how there is still 0.1% remaining inside of him. What he didn't know is that 0.1% was a symbiote seed / the Asexual Offspring of Venom- The "Carnage" Symbiote.
Eddie would have dreams about the V.E.N.O.M Symbiote quite often.
However we cut to Spidey who tells Fury that keeping the remaining 10% of the V.E.N.O.M Symbiote is extremely dangerous and still poses a threat to not only Spidey himself, but NYC and potentially the entire world and beyond.
Fury reassures Spidey that this time the Symbiote won't have a chance to escape, showing its new prison is simply a box, where occasionally the symbiote gets feed nutrients, meat and overall matter to survive, via a automatic tube dispensary in the symbiote's prison roof. The box is being kept in an entire new facility dedicated to the V.E.N.O.M Symbiote.
The remaining 10% of the V.E.N.O.M Symbiote is still quite large so it needs to get feed quite a bit in order for it to sustainably live.
Basically when Eddie is reunited with the V.E.N.O.M Symbiote and breaks out of prison as Venom- they actually don't go after Spidey.
Instead the two travel to San Francisco. Eddie, although holds huge amounts of resentment for Spider-Man / Peter Parker- still isn't a completely evil person. Although the symbiote may have gone too far with eating humans and taking over NYC etc.
However if you think about it from the symbiotes perspectives it's just doing what any other organism, especially intelligent organism does. Adapts, attacks, controls, falls etc.
Point is, is that ever since then and Eddies prison break- Eddie wants to focus on being a better person now that he has another chance at life essentially, hence their move to San Francisco. Plus both Eddie & Venom, out of spite, also have the motivation of being a better hero than Spidey.
Eddie also wants to redeem the symbiote as the monster it was and make it into something better, since it was in a lost, angry and confused state. It was experimented on and treated horribly- naturally any living entity that goes through such an experience may wanna eat people and take over NYC.
Point is, is that ever since then- Eddie wants to focus on being a better person. And also how out of spite, how he wants to be a better hero than Spidey.
The symbiote is still somewhat not all there ever since the events prior. So in a sense it's rebooted? Not entirely but kind of.
The main point is that the Venom Symbiote is somewhat memory-wiped and now brought anew due to what remained of the symbiote post S.H.I.E.L.D bombardment.
However it still remembers fragments, such as bits of Peter Parker / Spider-Man, Eddie Brock etc. The Symbiote just doesn't entirely remember the Klyntar, the takeover and overall most of it's memory. Only bit's of it.
This new / rebooted Venom Symbiote however still shows similar likes, mannerisms, values, violence etc of its previous / past-self before bombardment.
In San Francisco, Eddie would get back into Journalism & works for Doctor Connors as a lab assistant.
Connors would often play around with Cross-Species genetics and would work from San Franisco, occasionally flying to NYC.
The main reason of why Eddie travelled to San Francisco is because the symbiote told Eddie that parts of it were sold off illegally to the highest bidders.
One of said bidders was the Life Foundation or to be more specific, CEO Carlton Drake.
Carlton would use the piece of the V.E.N.O.M Symbiote he bought and experiment on it to create variants of The Symbiote such as Riot, Phage, Scream, Lasher & Agony.
When the five symbiotes combine, they create what is known as the "Hybrid" Symbiote.
Eddie Brock and Venom would become the "Lethal Protector" of San Francisco. He is killing and eating an abundance of crooks and bad guys. Becoming more powerful.
Their only rule now is to not hurt the innocent, ever since they wished to repent.
Another thing about this new somewhat rebooted Venom Symbiote is that its much more refined rather than savage and it's symbiote material is like a Black goo with a light blue texture, in comparison to its previous purple texture.
Funny enough, this symbiote ends up on Battleworld during the Marvel ALT_ Secret Wars Event and bonds to Peter. This is in a way giving Peter a second chance with the symbiote and not having it try to corrupt him or anything but to merely assist him in this massive event.
This new look is inspired by classic, Todd McFarland Venom designs and also to show the difference between the Venom Symbiote before and after the bombardment- both variations are almost completely different yet similar in many ways.
Main difference is that the past, purple more savage Venom Symbiote before it's bombardment, didn't really care about humans, didn't mind eating them, killing them and manipulating them. It didn't care about concepts of innocence or the guilty- aslong as humans were meat, they were on its menu. It was a rabid, scarred animal, that eventually learned it's true origins and decided to infect the entirety of NYC in itself, with the goal to eventually infect the rest of the planet, in the name of some alien parasite, scientist wack-job.
The new somewhat rebooted Venom symbiote variation is more on killing and eating what it and Eddie perceive as "Bad Guys". They never hurt the innocent, at least not intentionally- and call themselves the "Lethal Protector" of San Francisco.
That's all I've written so far. I have lots more Marvel ALT_ works, even DC ALT_ and my own ALT_ Originals stories. I hope you enjoyed this. Thank you.
