Fans of Spider-Man’s symbiotic nemesis Venom would most likely identify him as Eddie Brock, who’s been the face of the character for a generation of films, shows, and games. Those who’ve played through Insomniac’s recently released Spider-Man 2 may know him as someone different. But fans of the current comic will point out that the current host of Peter Parker’s former Secret Wars tagalong is actually Eddie’s son, Dylan Brock. Not only that, Dylan is one of nearly a dozen hosts to take the Venom name, with Eddie being rebranded just as often. It’s a confusing history, emblematic of everything the franchise has recently become.
