Venom is a symbiote from the planet Klyntar, which is also the planet of the symbiote. Being a symbiote, he cannot live without a compatible host, but he is bonded to Eddie Brock. When in his true form, he is black, and rather tall, with quite a well-built form. He has white eyes, a long, pink, prehensile tongue and sharp teeth. He can be quite cruel and even sadistic at times, but also quite childish, boisterous and cheerful. He is tough and brave during fights too.
