In an alternate reality, a version of the Clone Saga storyline happened, only in this one, Peter was more of an asshole to Ben Reilly instead of treating him like a brother. After Knull's imprisonment, the symbiote was taken by Kree scientists and bonded to Tel-Kar, but had its memories sealed upon being separated from him. Although the man within wasn’t strong enough to expel the symbiote, he was able to sabotage his own multiverse-destroying plans via sacrificing his own life, all the while begging for forgiveness for all the horrors he committed. The POISONS, a species that hunger for super-powered symbiotes and their hosts, have picked their next target…THE MARVEL UNIVERSE ITSELF!

Check out the first issue's cover, illustrated by Nick Bradshaw, and solicitation information below. A fight with Venom led to Spider-Man getting some of the goop onto himself, allowing him the option to become Symbiote Spider-Man. Venom’s symbiote started expanding and latching onto hundreds of other New Yorkers, overwhelming the city with chaos. At the end of Dan Slott’s lengthy Amazing Spider-Man run, Eddie Brock let Spidey borrow the symbiote so he could fight the Red Goblin (Norman Osborn as Carnage).The stars of the one-shot were the offsprings, like the daughter of Captain America and Rogue or the son of Human Torch and Wasp.

The Klyntar's strength is augmented, while the original host's memories and powers are assumed by the Poison. Alternatively, Carnage's bloodlust and unpredictability made him the proverbial John Wick of Venomverse.Over the years, Spider-Man did rejoin with the symbiote a few times, usually in the name of heroism. In this reality, Nate Summers joined with a superhero resistance team to take out Apocalypse and there’s all sorts of crazy stuff going on. After discovering that the suit was actually a living being that sought to permanently merge with him, Spider-Man rejected the symbiote and eventually tried to kill it.

While it had no real connection to the Spider-Man story, the gist was similar: various Venom hosts from the multiverse had to team up to face a threat that was hunting them down.

After teaming up with and/or fighting lots of Marvel characters, Spider-Man took on a kaiju version of Venom and convinced Eddie Brock to fights its influence. Much had happened in those 25 years, but for the most part, the heroes and villains put their differences aside. While Venomverse has involved worlds and characters from other parts of the multiverse, in Venomized, the Poisons (a race of aliens who literally eat the symbiotes aliens responsible for Venom's existence) will enter the Marvel Universe-proper.
