Venom is one of the two main protagonists (alongside Eddie Brock) of the Venom trilogy within Sony's Spider-Man Universe and a minor character in the 2021 Marvel Cinematic Universe film Spider-Man: No Way Home.

He is an extra-terrestrial being who was brought to Earth by Life Foundation, he infects ex-journalist Eddie Brock. After defeating Life Foundation's head, Carlton Drake, and his symbiote, the genocidal Riot, the two become protectors of San Francisco.

He was voiced by Tom Hardy, who also portrayed Eddie Brock in the same series.

His Good Ranking[]

What Makes Him Admirable?[]

Venom[]

  • He helps Eddie escape Drake's facility when they first bond together.
  • Unlike Riot, he doesn’t attack innocent people for food.
  • He fights of a group of mercenaries sent by Drake to capture Eddie.
  • He heals Eddie from a serious motor cycle crash.
  • He helps Eddie break in to his old workplace and locate incriminating evidence of Carlton Drake's crimes.
  • Convinces Eddie to apologize to Anne for his actions.
  • He bonds with Anne and saves Brock from being killed by Drake's men.
  • Defeats Riot and saves the world and all its inhabitants from an invasion of his species.
  • Sacrifices himself to save Eddie from the rocket explosion (although he survives).
  • Agrees to only eat bad people and protect the innocent.
  • Eats a thug who tried to rob Mrs. Chen's store.

Venom: Let There Be Carnage[]

  • Helps Eddie locate the bodies of Kasady's victims which gives him a career boost.
  • Refuses to eat Sonny and Cher because they are best friends.
  • Didn't get mad at Eddie for insulting him after learning Anne engaged to Dan, admitting he is hurting too and he'll help Eddie get through it.
  • After separating from Eddie after an argument, he finds Anne and the two break Eddie out of prison.
  • Tried to save the church priest from getting killed by Carnage.
  • Rescues Anne when she gets kidnapped by Shriek, Cletus and Carnage.
  • Saves Dan when Carnage nearly kills him.
  • Saves Eddie from falling to his death.
  • Defeats Carnage and Kasady, thus ending their murderous rampage and saving San Francisco.
  • Allows Anne to stay with Dan after he helps him in the battle with Carnage, believing Dan is right for her.

Spider-Man: No Way Home[]

  • Tries to meet Spider-Man and become the Lethal Protector in the MCU. However, both he and Eddie are sent home before they can.

Venom: The Last Dance[]

  • Kills a gang of dog fighters and frees the caged dogs.
  • Informs Eddie about Knull and the Codex then hides to not lead the Xenophage to them.
  • Protects Eddie from the Xenophage and saves him from being captured by Strickland's men.
  • Frees the other symbiotes from containment and fights alongside them to defeat the Xenophage.
  • Saves Martin Moon and his family.
  • Sacrifices himself to kill the Xenophage and destroy the Codex, preventing Knull from escaping his prison and conquering the universe.

What Makes Him Inconsistent?[]

  • He is an anti-hero whose main motivation for killing criminals is because he wants to eat people's heads, which is too much of a corrupting quality for him to be Near Pure Good. He also never subverts or shows remorse for this behavior even moments before his sacrifice.
  • He's on & off, as he's capable of doing villainous things such as the aforementioned eating people, destroying public property and being a public menace.
  • He is extremely lethal and even enjoys killing certain individuals. While he needs to eat to survive, he does show some sadism when eating his enemies. For example, while Eddie shows Cletus sympathy in his final moments, Venom angrily bites his head off with no regret. He also ate an armed thief with no regret or remorse at the end of the first Venom movie. Though, to be fair, the thief was robbing Mrs. Chen's store. He also wanted to eat Mrs. Chen just because her store didn’t have any chocolate available.
  • He is a massive jerk. When he first introduces himself to Eddie, he calls him a loser. He also calls him a p***y when he takes the elevator instead of jumping out of a window (which would been dangerous). He gets irrationally angry when Eddie calls him a parasite. After getting bored of his life, he has a huge argument with Eddie, wrecking his apartment and giving him the middle finger as he leaves.
  • Even though he shows genuine care and respect for Eddie, it is sometimes half-hearted as he will react with contempt and annoyance to some of Eddie's conversations and considerations about/to him.
  • He can be very careless. In Venom: The Last Dance, he takes control over Eddie's body to dance with Mrs. Chen despite knowing that it would lead the Xenophage right to them, something Eddie calls him out for.
