Venom stands alongside the Green Goblin and Doctor Octopus as one of Spider-Mans greatest foes. He is actually the combination of two of Spider-Mans enemies, the muscly and dodgy ex-journalist Eddie Brock and an alien symbiote suit that Spider-Man rejected. Venom has all of the powers of Spider-Man amplified. He has infinite webbing and is stronger that Spider-Man. Because Spider-Man used to wear the suit, Spider-Mans spider sense does not work on Venom. Venom also has all of the memories of Spider-Man from when he wore the suit. He used this to great effect, scaring Spider-Mans loved ones to the extent that Mary Jane couldnt stand Peter wearing a black Spider-Man suit of any kind. Although Venom seeks vengeance on Spider-Man, he doesnt see himself as a villain. He has even attempted to operate as a hero. Venom appeared as one of the villains in Spider-Man 3. The symbiote suit and Venom were very well animated in the brief scenes that showed Venoms face. The character of Venom however was quite disappointing, having very little of the menacing nature he should have. Harry Osborn already had knowledge of Spider-Mans identity so there was no opportunity for Venom to exploit his knowledge of Spider-Man. Likelihood of appearing again It is possible that a new version of Venom may appear in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 to be released in 2014. The director Mark Webb has hinted that in the film Harry Osborn may become Venom, as with the incarnation of Venom in the current Ultimate Spider-Man animated television series. In the Ultimate comics version of Venom, the symbiote suit is created by Spider-Mans father. The Amazing Spider-Man film series is exploring the story of Spider-Mans parents. It is possible that Amazing Spider-Man 2 will combine the Ultimate TV version and Ultimate comics versions of Venom to create a new Venom that hopefully does justice to the character.
