Early on in his career as a "lethal protector," Venom was captured by Carlton Drake's Life Foundation and had five samples of his costume taken and turned into new symbiotes. Four of those symbiotes - Riot, Lasher, Phage and Agony - are grouped together here.
These were cultured and bonded to five of the Life Foundation's best security personnel to form the Guardians: Donna Diego (Scream), Carl Mach (Phage), Leslie Gesneria (Agony), Trevor Cole (Riot), and Ramon Hernandez (Lasher). In the comics none of the five symbiotes were originally given names.
Yellow Symbiote (1) (Scream): In the comics Scream was one of the symbiotes forcibly spawned from Venom alongside several others by the Life Foundation. For a time she served as an enemy of both Venom and Spider-Man, but she was eventually killed by Eddie Brock.
Venom aside, the comic has five major symbiote characters. Let's talk about who they are, and which ones you might see in the movie. So far, it's clear that at least two of the five symbiotes will appear in Venom, while a third has been switched for another symbiotic character.
Originating as an offspring of Venom, Carnage is much more powerful than its parent symbiote because of the symbiotes' biology, and is in many ways a darker version of him.
The bond between the Carnage symbiote and Kasady was stronger than the bond between Brock and the Venom symbiote. Cletus Kasady was also a serial killer and thought of as insane. As a result, Carnage is far more violent, powerful, and deadly than Venom.
The full first appearance of Venom is in The Amazing Spider-Man #300 (May 1988), after the symbiote bonds with Eddie Brock.
Why is Carnage so powerful? The Venom symbiote eventually found Eddie and reunited with him, unknowingly leaving behind its offspring. This offspring eventually bonded to Kasady's blood through a small cut, making the Carnage symbiote have its red appearance, which resulted in Carnage being more powerful than Venom.
More Powerful: Carnage
Ranked as IGN's 90th Greatest Comic Book Villain of All Time, Carnage is undetectable by Peter Parker's spider-sense, is essentially Venom's progeny and is much more powerful than his predecessor. Spider-Man and Venom had to work together to take Carnage down.
Shriek appears as the secondary antagonist of Venom: Let There Be Carnage, the sequel of Venom and the second film in Sony's Spider-Man Universe. She was portrayed by Naomie Harris.
Inland taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus)
The human toll from snakebites is considerable, many times higher than bites from the oft-feared shark, accounting for an estimated 200,000 deaths a year. The most venomous snake in the world is considered to be the inland taipan, endemic to central-eastern Australia.
Symbrock is the non-binary ship between the Venom Symbiote and Eddie Brock from the Venom and Marvel comic fandoms.
Who is the blue symbiote in Venom 1? Toxin. The other symbiote alongside Riot, Scream and Phage is a blue and gold one, which - as initially shown in the Venom trailer - was set loose on unwitting test subjects.
In the comics — and the 2021 movie — it's pretty clearly established that on a baseline level, Carnage is indisputably more powerful than Venom.
The idea that he would become stronger after eating Carnage seems to come from an idea that he would be absorbing Carnage's symbiote powers and properties into himself, therefore becoming stronger. However, unlike the mutant powers of Rogue, Venom is not absorbing Carnage but consuming him.
The spawn of the Venom symbiote then attached itself to Kasady through his bloodstream. Carnage achieves this by entering Kasady's body through a cut on his hand. This is the reason why Carnage appears as the colour red, as he entered through the bloodstream, which is of course red.
Knull, also known as the God of the Symbiotes, is one of the overarching antagonists in the Marvel Comics universe, serving as the main antagonist of the Venom comic book series.
The story features the alien symbiote becoming "pregnant" while Eddie Brock was his host, giving birth to the Sleeper symbiote.
Carlton Drake is one of the two main antagonists (alongside Riot) of the 2018 film Venom, the first installment of Sony's Spider-Man Universe. He is the misanthropic CEO of the Life Foundation, who is bent on fusing humanity with Symbiotes in order to "save" the human race.
While Eddie Brock's Venom may not be the strongest here, he is recognizable and the most resilient Symbiote compared to many others. Even though he started out as a pure villain, Brock's Venom showed many heroic traits.
Inside is the Venom-X weapon, which is a type of sticky grenade launcher.
The original Carnage symbiote was the first offspring of the Venom symbiote, spawned when it broke Eddie Brock out of prison. The newborn symbiote bonded to serial killer Cletus Kasady, merging with his blood to become nigh-inseparable from him, and Carnage was born.
