Name: Edward Brock, Jr.
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Occupation: Villain
Personality: He hates everything and anything that deals with Parker, he believes he cost him his job, his home, and even his health. Because of this he even hated him so much that he prayed in the church in the center of town, asking God to kill Peter Parker.
He not only hates Peter because of what he's done to him, but what he believes he took from him. He believes that Peter took the only women he ever loved and guaranteed that she would never become his girlfriend, Gwen Stacy.
While he may be full of hate and rage, it seems that has yet to effect his smart-alec comments, often making fun of what people say or threats with a funny phrase. Once making fun of Spider-mans Spider-sense, saying as he looked at Mary-Jane, "My spider-sense is tingling, if you know what I mean."
Appearance: As his normal form, he appears completely normal while still retaining the powers of the symbiote at a slightly reduced level to that of Spider-Mans. He often wears designer clothes, dark like that of his symbiote suit.
While he is Venom, he has a much larger body due to the symbiote pumping him up more to be able to take on the challenges he needs to take out whatever crosses his path. It seems this is also caused by him and his symbiote having such a close connection, making it easier for it to manipulate him and enhance him physically. It also seems as though the anger and hatred within Eddie has transformed the appearance of the creature into a hideous beast, including razor sharp teeth and claws on his hands.
Abilities: He possesses all of Spider-Mans' powers due to the symbiote. His strength, reflexes, and speed seem to be greater than that of Spider-Mans. This is caused due to the symbiotes bond with Eddie is much stronger than it was with Peter Parker. It also seems as though Spider-man cannot detect Venom using his spider-sense, rendering him unable to know where his next attack will come from.
History
Eddie was on top of the world, having recently graduated from college for Journalism, at least thats how it seemed as he first came to the Daily Bugle. Upon arrival, he met Jonah Jameson, resorting to his usual tactics of kissing butt until he finally got the opportunity he needed, to become a full-time employee so long as he gets a photo of spider-man committing a crime, which he seems to be fighting for the position with Peter Parker.
He continued his day, unable to manage to catch him in anything other than his daily routines of saving civilians. It wasn't until he saw Spider-Man arriving at the scene of a bank robbery that he managed to get a decent shot... Spider-Man with his black costume for the first time. It seemed as though he didn't enjoy having his picture taken, breaking Eddie's camera... and so he went out for revenge.
By taking a few photos of the crime scene and using a little bit of photo manipulation on old pictures he managed to create what looked like Spider-Man fleeing from the bank robbery with the money. For this picture he was given the job he needed, that was until Peter Parker came along. He exposed Eddie, causing him to become fired. He was unable to find work and soon lost his apartment and then began to live on the streets, here he began to catch the flu.
His anger and rage brought him to a church where he began to pray to god, asking for the death of Peter Parker. He was soon welcomed with the screams of Peter as he began to rip the symbiote suit from his body, a painful process. While in the church, watching the event, it soon landed on him, wrapping around him, and turning him into the creature now known as Venom...
Soon after this he attempted to kill Parker/Spiderman by using Mary-Jane as bait. It was here they discovered his only weakness... exceptionally high-pitched sounds caused the symbiote pain. Eddie was torn, literally, from his symbiote by Peter. While desperate to exact his revenge and the need to keep the power, he jumped into the symbiote when Peter threw one of Harry's explosive pumpkin bombs. It seemed as though it had killed both the symbiote and Eddie... but it was wrong. The symbiote had in fact sacrificed itself in order to save Eddie, for as long as part of it lived on it could refuse to Eddie and once again become Venom.
It was with this that Eddie used the knowledge he had gained from Peter to break into the university that contained only a small fraction of the suit that Peter had left behind. He broke it free, allowing it to bond with him, the small piece took not only time but the required amount of adrenaline it needed out of Eddie was a painful transaction, but he managed to pull through it, once again becoming Venom.
