Subscribe here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1oV7pNnLCgbCq0DT8GjNTQ?sub_confirmation=1 ----- The evolution of Venom's symbiote started in 1984. Originally appearing in Amazing Spider-Man #252, the black suit of Spider-Man was really convenient. It could camoflauge itself, allowing him to wear it all the time, and made it easier for him to operate in the shadows unoticed. However, no one at the time knew that it would become one of the most recognizable villains in the history of Marvel comics. After the full debut of Venom in Amazing Spider-Man #300. The character took off like a rocket, and the dominance of the alien symbiote began. Not only was Venom a success on it's own, it's host Eddie Brock became a household name as well, as most people know that the Eddie Brock Venom is the original creation, having even appeared on film. However, more than one person has worn the black symbiote. For a period of time, Scorpion aka Mac Gargan, became Venom and was dominated by the symbiote to the point where it controlled almost all his actions when he was wearing it. This is also the first time we had seen the symbiote really change physical size and become much larger than the user inside. At time, fueled by rage and vengeance, Venom could grow to the size of the Hulk and beyond. After having the symbiote forcefully removed, it was later bonded to Flash Thompson who became Agent Venom. This is where we start to see the struggle between the symbiote and the man inside it. Who will win the battle of wills? The war gets worse as Venom joins up with the Guardians of the Galaxy and heads off into space. This is where Brian Michael Bendis not only changes the origin of Venom, and the Klyntar species itself, but builds Flash Thompson and Venom into something different, and that is an agent of the cosmos. Now that Flash can hear the call of the cosmos, he becomes Venom Space Knight and travels around the galaxy solving problems and making space a better place. Unfortunately that is not meant to last, as somehow the Venom symbiote has been removed from Flash Thompson and now finds it on it's new host, Lee Price. Who is Lee Price? We don't really know much about him, but as an ex-Army Ranger he has the discipline of a soldier, extensive training in combat and isn't worried about a few dead bodies along the way. What does this mean for the newly reformed cosmic protector? We'll find out soon. Weekly One Shot is a once a week show where we tackle a bigger topic regarding comics.
