An evil terrorist organization determined to rule the world, with snake motifs. Hmmm.

V.E.N.O.M., short for Vicious Evil Network Of Mayhem, was a criminal organization formed by Miles Mayhem. It utilised stolen technology from Matt Trakker and sometimes former operatives of M.A.S.K., who became their chief opponents.

Notes

• V.E.N.O.M., like the rest of M.A.S.K., was originally created by Kenner as an alternative to G.I.Joe. Thus, since Hasbro owned Kenner, many differences are present inbetween IDW 2005 continuity and classic V.E.N.O.M.
• In IDW, V.E.N.O.M. is an ally of Cobra, which makes alot of sense, as it points out their blatant similarities.
