10 Mind Blowing Facts You Didn't Know About Venom

1. Venomsaurus Is Totally A Thing

Venomsaurus Old Man Logan
Marvel Comics

Just in case you were wondering why Fox didn't do a page-for-page adaptation of Old Man Logan, here's your reason why.

The book, while masterfully drawn, is easily surpassed by its blockbuster counterpart. What it does have, however, is Venomsaurus - a Savage Land T-Rex controlled by the OG Venom symbiote.

Just look at that thing. Like, the T-Rex on its own is terrifying enough, but to add the symbiote to it as well is just evil, and probably overkill. There's no denying it makes for a great spectacle, but who would've thought Venom would've been the Symbiote to go for a non-human host? Fair play to it though - T-Rex's are one in a million, and to make that work as long as they did, well, it's commendable.

While it's most definitely not mainstream Marvel, it makes for what is - quite possibly - the coolest looking Venom thing ever, and one that can now be found in the pages of Venomverse.

After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube.

He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
