After Eddie Brock developed brain cancer, he gave up the symbiote and tried to live the remainder of his life in peace. But when Mister Negative used his healing powers on Brock, it eradicated the cancer from his body.

When the symbiote came into contact with Eddie again, the healing properties of Negative's powers converted Venom into a detoxifying entity called Anti-Venom. Because Eddie's new form automatically cured any disease or virus in his proximity, you'd assume Anti-Venom could do a lot of good.

But there's one problem. Spider-Man obtained his abilities after being bitten by an irradiated arachnid. When Spidey was in range of Anti-Venom, the symbiote eradicated the radiation coursing through the webslinger's body, depowering him. Even though Eddie had nothing but good intentions after bonding with Anti-Venom, he caused Spider-Man to lose his powers repeatedly, which nearly resulted in his death.

Worse still, if Anti-Venom is near Peter Parker for too long, the Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man would lose his powers forever or even die. Thankfully, this situation corrected itself when Eddie reverted back to Venom. Of course, this was bad news for Eddie since he was stuck with the evil symbiote once again.
