8 Alternate Versions Of Comic Book Characters That Would Be Perfect On-Screen

8. Ultimate Venom

The Ultimate Universe is essentially the main Marvel continuity's more brutal cousin. It's the alternate universe that's the most similar to Earth-616, but the stories and characters generally have a darker take.

In the Ultimate universe, Venom was born not from an alien symbiote, but from a suit designed to fight cancer. However, Ultimate Venom is inextricably linked with the Parker legacy. Richard Parker and Eddie Brock Sr. created the suit together, which led to Peter and Eddie Brock Jr. becoming best friends as children. They reconvene years later to work on their fathers' experiment again when things inevitably go wrong.

A movie involving this version of Venom would force Spider-Man to reconcile with the fact that his worst enemy is the result of his father's creation bonding with one of his closest friends. This has all the pieces for a very emotional and personal movie.
