10 Insane Facts You Didn't Know About Venom

5. He's Been A Guardian Of The Galaxy

Amidst all of Marvel€™s character revamping and roster shuffling in recent years, the current wearer of the Venom suit is Peter Parker€™s former bully and wounded soldier, Flash Thompson. Under the name Agent Venom, he uses the suit in small doses as a means to complete government missions while resisting its villainous inclinations.

This new variation of the character was designed for a new generation of readers, who never knew Venom as a villain. They instead see Flash as a hero with an awesome costume that lets him do cool stuff. In order to further establish this more youthful and heroic tone, he was recently added to the Guardians Of The Galaxy, ostensibly to act as a liaison between them and the Avengers.

Fans are still adjusting to this manic status quo, but it does make some sense for the character. The symbiote is alien, after all.
