Venom: 18 Easter Eggs & References Explained

13. The Hunger

Once Eddie Brock first bonds with the symbiote, he finds himself overcome with insatiable hunger pangs, causing him to even pull a mouldy chicken carcass out of his bin and start munching on the scraps like a demented vulture.

Things get even sillier when he shows up at a restaurant, dives in a fish tank and takes a bite out of a poor live lobster. Venom's odd relationship with human food and his subsequent desire to bite people's heads off is drawn straight out of the mid-nineties comic Venom: The Hunger.
