10 Symbiotes We Need To See In Venom 3

6. Mania

Venom 2 Carnage
Marvel Comics

Mania is yet another symbiote that could expand the Sony Spider-Verse and MCU if introduced and developed correctly. Mania is a clone of Venom that bonded with Andi Benton, a student that befriended Flash Thompson during his stint as a high school gym teacher. Flash gave Andi a piece of his symbiote to protect her from the supervillain Jack O'Lantern, and the suit wound up bonding with Andi.

Besides being a female hero, which could add some diversity to the Venom franchise, Mania could also be the means for Marvel to introduce fan favorite character Mephisto to the MCU.

In her comic iteration, Mania was selected by Mephisto to bear a Hell-Mark. Hell-Marks signify potential candidates to rule over the Demon Lord's pocket dimension, which resembles Hell. If the Venom franchise introduces Mania, it would be easy to set up the Hell-Mark plotline and bring Mephisto into the fold.

When Disney+'s WandaVision finale aired, many fans were left disappointed that Mephisto never made an appearance despite what looked like Mephisto Easter eggs planted throughout the show. Having Mania show up in Venom 3 would ameliorate some of the hurt feelings fans had after their pet WandaVision theories never panned out.
