![]() Convinced that a nuclear war was inevitable, the Life Foundation's clients paid to assure that the human race (and they in particular) would survive the cataclysm in luxury. The symbiote appears to be more dense as well, allowing it's host to become more durable and stronger than the Venom symbiote would allow.Īt one point, Venom was captured by the Life Foundation, an organization that made a comfortable living in per paring for the world's nuclear annihilation. It could also form solid appendages, allowing Carnage to form spikes, blades, and axe heads at will. At one point, it managed to travel by telephone line by thinning itself to a strand of cellular width. The Carnage symbiote was capable of greater control of its constituent matter than the Venom symbiote. Because Kasady bonded with the symbiote on a cellular level (something Brock refused to do) Carnage proved more formidable than either Venom or Spider-Man, and the two eventually formed an uneasy alliance to deal with the threat. The symbiote spawn bonded with Kasady, turning him into the lethal villain Carnage. The symbiote did in fact liberate Brock, but in so doing left behind its spawn. On one occasion, while Brock was incarcerated for his crimes as Venom - and while he patiently waited for the escaped symbiote to free him - he shared a cell with multiple-murderer Cletus Kasady. Venom proved to be a particularly malicious foe, and broke several laws in pursuit of revenge against Spider-Man. As this shows, symbiotes are able to project their own emotions and personal desires, in addition to reflecting and reacting to the emotions and desires of their host. For example, the Venom symbiote bonded successfully with Eddie Brock because they shared anger and desires for revenge towards Spider-Man. They are much more effective if the human host has the same feelings and urges as the symbiote. ![]() They are also vicious and wild, compelling their human hosts to violence. Symbiotes are fully aware and sentient creatures. Richards isolated the living costume, setting into motion a series of events that would lead to the creation of Venom - the merger of the symbiote and Spider-Man critic Eddie Brock. The then-villainous Puma - who was fighting Spider-Man at the time - was the first to perceive that the costume's webbing was organic, causing the hero to seek the advice of Reed Richards. After returning to Earth, the costume could not stand to be separated from Parker for very long, and it often engulfed the sleeping hero, sending him out to fight crime under its control. The new "costume" had several useful properties - the ability to mimic other forms of clothing, a "dimensional aperture" which could store small objects without adding bulk to the costume, and its own source of webbing - which Spider-Man initially attributed to its alien origins. The released symbiote did indeed form a "costume" for Spider-Man - as the race naturally covers their entire host - and responded to Parker's thoughts by patterning itself after the new Spider-Woman's black and white costume. Instead, he found the machine holding the symbiote captive. ![]() The symbiote was placed in a prison canister, and supposedly condemned to death by disintegration.ĭuring the Secret Wars, when several of Earth's heroes and villains were transported to Battleworld by the Beyonder, Spider-Man went looking for the alien technology Thor had stumbled upon to repair his tattered costume. This symbiote would later describe itself as a mutant among its species. In fact, it is because of this creature that humans initially believed the entire race to be symbiotic. The symbiote reunited with the other symbiotes, but was deemed deranged by others of its race because it sought to form a single, strong, symbiotic bond with its host, rather than using them as chattel. He got discovered and separated himself from it. ![]() They bonded the symbiote to Tel-Kar so he could infiltrate into the Skrulls. The being that would eventually become Venom, was found by the Kree who wanted to replicate the Skrulls powers during the Kree-Skrull War. Eventually, these host beings would be completely sucked dry, exhausted by the constant stress and exertion, or simply die in a failed stunt. They tend to force their hosts to perform spectacular and terrifying feats in order to feed off of the resulting rush of adrenaline (and possibly other hormones, such as phenethylamine). The beings now known on Earth simply as "Symbiotes" are a conquering, parasitic race which feed off the emotions of their hosts. ![]()
