Yeah, I think what happens with Venom is.. When I read the comics, I remember it said that "venom" was an alien being thing that attached itself to spiderman and became like a split personality or something along those lines, somehow spiderman got rid of it and it infested harry osbourne who was a reporter who was fired because of his spiderman articles, he became venom, blah blah blah.

venom is a symbiotic alien suit that attaches itself to spiderman giving him higher powers but making him more violent and rash. he got rid of it, it joined up with eddie brock who hated spiderman, and became venom
