The five-volume miniseries King in Black ended with an exciting final battle in which the seemingly dramatic situation of the superheroes on earth was lifted thanks to the intervention of a completely unexpected character, the antihero Poisonthat has undergone a radical and important change.
In the years Venom, created by David Michelinie and Todd McFarlane, has often changed his status, first appearing as one of the main opponents of Spider-Man, then turning himself into a special agent and becoming a full-fledged antihero. Unexpectedly, however, in the final volume of King in Black, Eddie Brock takes command of the “good” groupand asked them to protect the innocent while he would confront Knull, the god of symbiotes.
The call to protect the millions of people who may be involved in the fight is not entirely surprising given Brock’s past he never wanted to spread death and destruction, but he tried more strategically to beat his opponents when he broke into Peter Parker and MJ’s apartment without harming Spider-Man’s partner.
These The will to defend the innocent is also found in Maximum Carnagewhere Venom was instrumental in stopping Cletus Kasady’s rampage. Eddie Brock’s growth as a reporter, to Venom, Anti-Venom, Toxin and again as the original symbiote has always had at its core a desire to protect what is utterly in the others final confrontation between him, armed with Mjolnir, the Enigma Force and a more offensive version of the Silver Surfer board, and the mighty Knull.
