When Venom first debuted as Peter Parker’s mysterious alien costume in Amazing Spider-Man #252 (1984) - by Randy Schueller, Jim Shooter, and Mike Zeck - he had yet to develop any personality of his own, until he later bonded with Eddie Brock and the two officially became “Venom.” Now, Marvel’s catalog of symbiotes has grown considerably from Venom’s vast family to extra-dimensional variants, as major events continue to pump up the franchise alongside series like Venomverse. Because the dragon ranks among Knull’s first creations and because it was born from the eldritch god’s blood, the symbiote, also known as “Grendel’s Mother,” is one of the most powerful of its kind, rivaling the likes of both Venom and Carnage. After the death of the Scream symbiote, one of Venom’s forced Life Foundation spawns, its host Andi Benton, alongside Alchemax, revitalized remnants of the symbiote and fused it with the Anti-Venom serum to create an ultimate weapon against Carnage’s dark takeover.
