With director Ruben Fleischer and star Tom Hardy’s much-anticipated Venom movie about to hit theaters, some of us are on pins and needles in anticipation. This character is important to fans. But why exactly do we love him so much?
Venom, to offer a brief primer for the uninitiated, is a Spider-Man villain invented in 1988 that serves, essentially, as Spider-Man's evil twin. Venom is the alter-ego of Eddie Brock, an investigative reporter and rival of Peter Parker who had fused with an alien symbiote (visualized as a blob of living, shape-shifting intelligent tar that once served as Spider-Man's costume) that wrapped around his body and implanted a dark voice in his head telling him to commit acts of violence and, occasionally, cannibalism. Venom, looking like a nightmare version of Spider-Man – complete with a gaping be-fanged mouth and giant lolling tongue – started his career terrorizing the populace, but eventually became a dark antihero – a lethal protector – starring in his own comics and, as of this month, his own movie.
