Venom: 11 WTF Moments Not Used In The Film

In somewhat horrifying fashion, the Life Foundation, one of Venom's biggest enemies, forced the Symbiote to spawn multiple violent "children" which were bonded to hired mercenaries and guards.

These Symbiotes were named Riot, Scream, Phage, Lasher, and Agony, and Venom was forced to fight them, despite them essentially being the Venom Symbiote's children.

These Symbiotes were so underdeveloped that their hosts never truly bonded with them, and eventually, Scream's host went mad, slaughtering her teammates but leaving the Symbiotes alive.

They were imprisoned, but later freed by the Guardsman Scott Washington, who they called "the kind one", and latched onto to him when he lost his ability to walk after a gang fight. His rage, however, made him wish to take a life, something the Symbiotes, now collectively known as Hybrid, wouldn't allow.

At one point, Eddie Brock became convinced the Symbiotes needed to be destroyed, and killed Scott Washington, despite knowing he was a hero.

Hybrid was captured and separated, bonded to separate agents of The Mercury Team. They were eventually murdered by Carnage, and the Hybrid bonded with Deadpool to defeat him, before bonding to the war dog, Lasher.

And yes, there was a Symbiote dog.
