A little bit of context
We Are Venom! A Look at the Symbiote and His Sweet Hasbro Action Figure
He’s big, he’s bad, and he’s got a tongue that could give Gene Simmons a run for his money! That’s right, we’re talking about Venom, the alien symbiote who has become one of Spider-Man’s most iconic foes (and sometimes, surprisingly, ally!).
Venom’s story began in the pages of Marvel Comics back in 1988. Originally conceived as a new costume for Spider-Man, the black symbiote suit eventually gained sentience and bonded with disgraced reporter Eddie Brock, who shared his hatred for Spider-Man. This combination of alien rage and human resentment created the terrifying Venom, a hulking figure with razor-sharp teeth, a gaping maw, and a penchant for saying “We” instead of “I”.
Over the years, Venom has become a complex and fascinating character, grappling with his own inner demons and occasionally even fighting alongside Spider-Man for the greater good. He’s starred in numerous comic book storylines, including “Lethal Protector” and “Planet of the Symbiotes,” and has even spawned his own offspring, like the vicious Carnage.
But Venom’s popularity isn’t confined to the comic book page. He’s made his mark on other media as well:
- Movies: Venom hit the big screen in 2007’s Spider-Man 3, played by Topher Grace. More recently, he starred in his own solo films, Venom (2018) and Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021), with Tom Hardy bringing the symbiote to life. He even had a brief (but memorable!) appearance in the MCU’s Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021).
- TV Shows: Venom has appeared in various animated series, including Spider-Man: The Animated Series, The Spectacular Spider-Man, and Ultimate Spider-Man.
- Video Games: Gamers can unleash their inner symbiote in games like Spider-Man (2018), Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite.

What’s Next for Venom?
The future looks bright for the symbiote. With his own corner of the Sony’s Spider-Man Universe (SSU) established, we can expect more Venom movies in the years to come. There are rumors of a potential crossover with Spider-Man (Tom Holland), which would send fans into a frenzy. And of course, Venom will continue to be a major player in the comic book world.
As for Hasbro, they’re likely to continue expanding their line of Venom figures, offering collectors even more ways to celebrate this iconic character. We might see figures based on different Venom hosts (like Flash Thompson as Agent Venom), or perhaps even deluxe figures with light-up features or sound effects.
