10 Insane Facts You Didn't Know About Venom

8. A Supervillain Saved Him From Cancer

After an extended disappearance, Eddie Brock recently re-emerged with cancer. Hospitalised, the irony was that the only thing keeping him alive was the same symbiote he had long tried to rid himself of. Beaten both physically and emotionally, Brock tried to kill himself only for Spider-Man to save him.

While recovering, Martin Li gave Brock a job at a soup kitchen upon discovering who he was. Unbeknownst to Brock, Li was actually Mister Negative, a crime boss with dark electrical powers. Miraculously, through some sort of biological shock, when Li touched Brock for the first time, he inexplicably cured his cancer.

In doing this, Li also inadvertently mutated the remnants of the symbiote still inside Brock. He became the Anti-Venom as a result, a white beast who wanted to cure all symbiotes and superhumans, including Spider-Man, of their €˜infections€™. Brock found a new calling, and thanks to his clean bill of health courtesy of Mister Negative, he was once again prepared to pursue it at all costs.
