10 Insane Times Superheroes Teamed Up With Their Worst Enemies

7. Spider-Man & Venom - Maximum Carnage/Lethal Protector

Though Eddie Brock today (and the symbiote for that matter too) is very much an anti-hero, there was a time where he was Spider-Man's greatest foe.

Marvel first decided to break the mould and have Brock take on a more heroic identity in 1993's Lethal Protector (the inspiration for the upcoming solo movie), before having him and Spidey face off against the symbiote's progeny that very same year in Maximum Carnage - itself a famous comic, thanks to LJN's 1994 video game of the same name.

Today, Parker and the symbiote are very much allies, but it's Eddie who has undergone the most change. These two team-ups started a trend that would see the pair fight together on countless other occasions (despite a shaky period at the start of the millennium), and Marvel haven't looked back since.
