Venom

"We are VENOM!"

- Venom

Venom is a supervillain/anti-hero/anti-villain from Marvel Comics who is a part of Spider-Man's rogues gallery. He will appear in the 74th episode of DEATH BATTLE!, Venom VS Bane, where he will face off against Bane from DC Comics. He will be voiced by Adam Wennick.

History
When an alien symbiote from outer space bonded with Spider-Man, it created a black suit which gave him incredible power. However, Peter soon learned that his suit was not only alive, but it also sought to permanently bond with him. So he decided to find a way to remove the symbiote.

Meanwhile, a down on his luck reporter, Eddie Brock, was contemplating suicide after losing his job at the Daily Globe when it was discovered that Brock had fabricated a news story about the identity of a serial killer named the Sin-Eater, who Spider-Man had brought to justice. Not only that, but he was also divorced from his wife, diagnosed with cancer, and disowned by his father.

After blaming Spider-Man for his misfortune, Eddie decided to go to a church to ask for forgiveness. Coincidentally, Peter was in that same church where he had the symbiote removed not long before Brock arrived. The symbiote, sensing Eddie's distress, bonded with him. Sharing a mutual hatred for Spider-Man, Brock and the symbiote swore vengeance on the friendly neighborhood web-slinger and became Venom, one of Spider-Man's greatest foes of all time.
