The Venom/Spider-Man feud began years ago due to bad journalism, Spider-Man's heroism, and the mutual hatred of one angry symbiote. Though the Lethal Protector has become an anti-hero since the '90s, Venom is still widely regarded as one of Spider-Man's most well-known and iconic villains.
Venom is a villain in Marvel's Spiderman. He also known as Eddie Brock. He hates Spiderman because he thinks he is the cause of all the bad luck in his life.
Eddie Brock's dislike of Peter Parker before he bonded with the symbiote translates into a deep love-hate relationship with Spider-Man, as Venom simultaneously wants to kill Spider-Man, but also re-bond with him.
Venom has endured as one of Spider-Man's most prominent villains, and was initially regarded as one of his three archenemies, alongside the Green Goblin and Doctor Octopus.
He hates Peter Parker, because Parker exposied him for fraud. Now this is brilliant, because Parker does it out of self interest to protect himself from exposure as Spiderman and because Spiderman's character is being maligned.
Venom's abilities are based on those of Spider-Man because the symbiote draws from its prior experiences bonded with a human. That's why Venom has super-strength, shoots webs from his hands and sports a giant spider emblem on his chest.
Carnage was once a serial killer known as Cletus Kasady, and became Carnage after merging with the offspring of the alien symbiote called Venom during a prison breakout. The symbiote amplified his psychotic nature making him even less mentally stable than he had been previously, and therefore even more dangerous.
Venom is an anti-hero in the Spider-Man franchise. He is one of Spider-Man's archenemies later turned rival.
Instead, the main antagonist of Venom is Dr. Carlton Drake (Riz Ahmed), who obtains three symbiotes from outer space and who spends most of the movie trying to track down and capture Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy), who has bonded with the symbiote Venom.
The strongest, and arguably the most cruel, of all the Spider-Man villains that MCU Peter Parker has faced. With the combination of advanced military tech and super soldier serum, the malice that Green Goblin puts forward is unparalleled with any other villain.
While Venom's comic adventures have certainly been weird in the last few years, they have been consistent in making it clear that Eddie Brock and the Venom symbiote are on the side of good.
His fear made complete sense from an in-universe perspective and lent Venom something unique as a villain. He was the one opponent Spider-Man was genuinely frightened of.
The symbiote that spawned the iconic villain was originally attached to Peter Parker for some time, making the alien substance psychologically obsessed with Spider-Man's power and body.
Some people are completely immune to his Spider-Sense. Venom is known to act without setting off his Spider-Sense. This is because the symbiote acquired all knowledge of Peter's Spider-Sense and adapted to combat it. This immunity extended to Venom's "son" Carnage.
“Buried in his brain is some knowledge of that connection.” So, we know that in the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man universe, Venom knows that Peter Parker is Spider-Man. And if the symbiote retains knowledge from all of its doppelgängers, then it would make sense that Tom Hardy's Venom knows who Spider-Man is as well.
The movie doesn't clearly state why, but Venom is probably afraid of Carnage because Carnage doesn't have the moral restrictions that Venom does. They are alien symbiotes. This means they need another living host to bond with if they're going to survive long-term.
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.
Cletus wants revenge on Eddie for betraying his trust and moving up his death sentence. Carnage, meanwhile, intends to kill his father: Venom. Once Eddie and Venom show up, the battle begins, as the pair fight Cletus/Carnage.
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.
Miles Morales, the movies' first black Spider-Man, was the focus of the movie, yes, but he was a Spider-Man among Spider-Men. But Morales' time as our lone webslinger doesn't last long.
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.
While in prison, Venom produces an offspring named Carnage. (He reproduces asexually, in case you were wondering.) Venom doesn't tell Eddie about it, and Venom and Eddie escape prison. Once they're gone, Carnage bonds with Cletus.
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.
Following it giving birth to Toxin, Cletus began affectionately referring to the Carnage symbiote using female pronouns. He has more recently reverted to referring to it with male pronouns.
