He is first seen showing Peter their inheritance, Eddie then becomes Venom after finding out what Peter did with the suit and that he is really was Spider-Man; Venom confronts Peter on a football field, then Peter tries to escape; Venom catches him, then tries to absorb him, Peter gets loose, then two cops arrive, then fire at Venom, Venom then stands on electricity, Peter presumes that Venom is dead, but Venom is revealed to still be alive, Eddie doesn't even know how he is still alive, then Venom eats a hiker in Central Park, then goes on a rampage, killing thugs, even eating a child, then smashes Wolverine's bike through a bar, then tries to kill a criminal in the bar, then Wolverine shows up, then Venom challenges and defeats him.
Venom later makes his way to where Peter arrested Alex O'Hirn where Silver Sable attacked him; for the time being, Venom defeats her men and escapes to a museum, where he comes into conflict with Spider-Man, who defeats Venom, giving Sable the opportunity to capture Venom. Venom is taken to Bolivar Trask, who offers to "help" Venom control the suit but actually uses his tech to control him. Trask sends Venom after Electro, and they end up fighting, with Spider-Man later coming in to take both of them down. Spider-Man is defeated, but the two villains fight over who gets to kill Spider-Man, Venom defeats Electro, then attempts to kill Spider-Man but the arrival of S.H.I.E.L.D. forces Venom to retreat.
On Sable's aircraft, Venom reveals that Peter Parker is Spider-Man and then starts going rogue, trying to escape; Sable attempts to detain Venom, and the two end up eventually fighting in the city, with Venom gaining the upper hand and Sable only barely escaping. Venom would later come into contact with Beetle, whom he would swiftly defeat. Venom ended up attacking Sable again and defeated her but was interrupted by Spider-Man and after the battle between the two left the both weakened, Sable took advantage and took them to Trask, where Venom would continue to be abused by him.
Venom would later end up fighting with Peter, who have been bonded with the Carnage symbiote, forged by his own bloodstream; Venom emerged victorious and absorbed the Carnage symbiote, giving him full control over the suit. Venom would then attack Trask, attempting to kill him as revenge for everything he had put him through. However, Spider-Man stopped him from doing so, and instead, Trask was sent to prison for only a few years. Venom was unhappy with this punishment and fixed it himself by murdering Trask and then escaping.
Now at peace with who he had become, no longer needing to devour to survive, and free from Trask's control, Eddie continues on with his on-the-run life as the monstrosity known as Venom. Peter comments to Mary Jane on whether he should be scared of or for him.
Personality[]
Much like in the comics, Eddie's characteristics are the same in the game; From a sleazy and vindictive person to a monster - bonded to a symbiote - always on the run. Despite listening Peter's experience of the symbiotic biosuit was and why it needed to be destroyed due to its ravenous bloodlust, Eddie deliberately exposed himself to a second sample out of pure spite which led him in becoming Venom and blames Peter for his current predicament.
While he fed off on criminals as Venom, some where innocent bystanders. Eddie struggled to piece together how his life had fallen apart, spending much of his time dominated by the symbiotic biosuit's insatiable hunger which left him with only fragmentary memories while it was in control.
After being captured by Silver Sable, whom Trask hired her, Eddie spent most of his days as the said client's experiment against both his will and warning that the biosuit cannot be controlled. Eddie also cuts his ties with Peter after he 'betrayed' his trust, viewing him as nothing but a mere quarry that will help control the suit by devouring the web-slinger whole. Even willing to sell out Peter's secret identity and loved ones. Not only Eddie admitted that while Spider-Man was there, but even felt that he was slowly in control of the Venom symbiote. After assimilating the remnants of the symbiote within Spider-Man's bloodstream, Venom was now in full control of the symbiote and later on, brandishing his own justice on Bolivar Trask.
Trivia[]
- Before Eddie gained full control of the symbiote by the end of the game, Venom lacked the signature spider symbol on his chest. This trait would be passed on to Venom from Sony's Marvel Universe.
- In the comics, Eddie devours any passerby near him via recounting the previous events involving Spider-Man to them until Beetle captures Eddie and most likely severs him from the symbiote. In this version, it serves as its own continuity as the symbiote remained with him, no longer wanting to bond with Spider-Man.
