10 Scenes We Definitely Won't See In Tom Hardy's Venom

3. Carnage Invades The Internet

Kim Kardashian succeeded where Carnage failed when she broke the internet because this is a feat the symbiotic villain attempted in a more literal sense on the pages of 1995’s Venom: Carnage Unleashed #4.

Written by Larry Hama and drawn by Andrew Wildman, the issue sees Cletus Kasady hatch a plan that involves travelling through cyberspace to infect players of a new online video game based on him.

Carnage somehow manages to enter the virtual world Tron-style and Venom follows him there. The pair do battle against a computerised landscape while the whole thing is broadcast over Times Square.

As is usually the case when the duo come to blows, Venom emerged victorious and saved a bunch of MMO fans. Not the highest stakes ever seen in comics, but a heroic act by Eddie Brock all the same.

The movie will be a disappointing one if Venom and Carnage don't square off, but they're more likely to do it in the real world rather than a virtual one.
