Eddie Brock

Eddie Brock is a fictional character in Marvel Comics, a journalist who becomes the host of an alien symbiote to form the antihero Venom.

Originally a Spider-Man villain driven by grudge and vengeance, the character has evolved into a more complex figure—sometimes hero, sometimes monster.

The name is strongly associated with the Venom franchise in comics and film.
