Venom is a symbiont from Marvel.

Blah blah blah eat brains blah lethal protector blah. Do we get our paycheck now? We have over twenty crossovers to be in, you know.

As Nemesis Prime is to Optimus Prime, Venom is to Spider-Man. It seems that even organic superheroes can get black repaints. Go figure. Doctor Doom built him a transforming battlesuit, apparently thinking it was a good idea. He's quite fond of it, as it allows him to go incognito. Evidently Earth's law enforcement personnel haven't quite clued in to the fact that his insignia is painted across the hood.

He also likes to snack on human eyes, lungs and pancreases in so little time.

Crossovers

He was in a drive-in church praying, when his life changed forever....

• Venom (Marvel, 2008)
  • Accessories: 2 missiles

• Known designers: Marcelo Matere (packaging artist){{#if: |, {{{2}}}}}

Released in the first wave of Marvel Crossovers figures, Mister brain-guzzling lunatic becomes a gas-guzzling muscle car. He fires missiles from above the back of his hands—the same spot from which Venom in the comics shoots his webbing. He can also store one missile on a clip on the top of each of his forearms. He features some articulation in his hands, a rarity among figures of that era. His transformation will drive you insane.

This mold was redecoed to make Carnage. Yes, in a reversal of the trend, that makes him a black character who gets a red repaint.
