10 Mind Blowing Facts You Didn't Know About Venom

7. Brock Became A Symbiote-Hunter In His Later Years

Having eventually departed from the symbiote, Eddie looked to get his life back on track, and was eventually absolved from his crimes through some top-notch lawyering, curtesy of everyone's favourite legal eagle, Matt Murdock.

Brock's post-Venom life would bring him into contact with Martin Li, who fans of the upcoming Insomniac Spidey title will know as the villainous Mr. Negative. Li gave Eddie a job and, for the most part, things were looking up for the guy; he'd been cured of his cancer, was moving on from the suit, and was settling down as much as a former alien host could, really.

Then Mac Gargan came a knocking. Sensing that the suit preferred Brock to him, he attempted to kill Eddie, only for the suit to attempt a reunion with his former host. Brock's body rejected the parasite however, and after conjuring a new Venom suit - one poisonous to the traditional line of alien symbiotes - set out to destroy Gargan, white threads and all.

Brock would later track down other rogue suits, bonding with another symbiote, Toxin, before assisting the FBI in their efforts to track down a newly escaped Cletus Kasady.

It made for a neat turn for the character, so it feels a tad anticlimactic to discover that he is, once again, in the symbiote come Marvel Legacy. Can't the guy catch a break?
