Disgraced reporter Eddie Brock has reasons of his own to hate Spider-Man, and together the two merge into the twisted engine of revenge known as Venom —and a rivalry for the ages begins! Venom has the same powers as Spider-Man — but he’s bigger, stronger and doesn’t trigger his spider-sense. And he knows Spidey’s secret identity!
