![]() ![]() Character Evolution The Symbiote has had numerous hosts. In Marvel Age #12 (3/1984) there were sketches of Spider-Man's suit in black. Its appearance as Venom had cameos in issues #298 and #299 of Amazing Spider-Man before appearing fully in issue 300 (1988). The Black Costume first appeared chronologically in Secret Wars issue 8 (12/1984), but was first published in Amazing Spider-Man issue 252 (5/1984). The designs for the costume and character came from Mike Zeck and Todd McFarlane. The idea for Venom came from Randy Schueller, a reader, and was bought by Marvel for $220 under the direction of then editor-in-chief Jim Shooter. Removal of the symbiote is often only possible through the usage of strong sound waves produced from intensely loud and sustained noises. ![]() Unfortunately for the host, the symbiotes are not keen on the idea of separating and eventually start to fully consume both mind and body of their hosts. In exchange for this relationship, the symbiote offers great powers to its host. They, as their symbiotic nature suggests, depend on other beings to help them sustain their life force. Venom is of a race of alien symbiotes known as the Klyntar that are formed from a thick, liquid, organic material. For more information on its various hosts go to their respective pages. Note that this page deals with the Venom symbiote itself. ![]()
