10 Worst Things Venom Has Ever Done
3. He Became A Cannibal - Venom: The Hunger #1-4 (1996)
Venom: The Hunger begins with Eddie Brock having a craving for all sorts of junk food. However, all food tasted disgusting to him, causing his hunger to grow. When he encountered some thugs, he realised he was craving phenethylamine - a chemical found in the brain. After ripping the mob to shreds, Venom gorged on their brains, satiating his hunger.
Eddie is not a fan of eating head-juice and so, ordered his other half never to resort to cannibalism again. Venom refused and abandoned his host in order to eat as many brains as he wanted. Because Eddie trained the symbiote to only kill bad guys, Venom was nice enough to maintain his host's moral code and only munched on criminals. However, that doesn't change the fact that Venom was chowing down on people's heads.
What's worse was that since Venom has a psychic bond with his host, Eddie could taste every brain the symbiote digested, even when they weren't physically together. Not only that, Eddie could feel himself enjoying the taste of grey matter...
When Eddie discovered phenethylamine is a major component of chocolate, he bonded with Venom once more and convinced him to become a chocaholic to curb his carnivorous desires.
