10 Things Everyone Always Gets Wrong About Venom

10. Eddie Brock Is The Only Host

A common misconception for casual fans is that Eddie Brock is the one and only Venom, and given that he is the most popular host for the symbiote, and the one represented in both 2007's Spider-Man 3 and 2018's Venom, it's easy to see why.

However, Venom has had a number of hosts throughout their years in Marvel lore. Apart from Eddie, the symbiote has bonded with former Scorpion Mac Gargan, Peter's schoolmate Flash Thompson, and black market dealing ex-Army Ranger Lee Price. Each incarnation of Venom has had a redesign, thanks to having a different host, and has had very different relationships with those he has bonded with.

And this merely scratches the surface, as in different universes like Miles Morales' Ultimate Universe, Venom has played a big role and taken on various hosts. Venom has even bonded with a number of existing marvel characters, such as Thor, Galactus, Spider-Gwen (to create Gwenom), and even a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
