@Aqu@ — I kind of hope that doesn’t happen. As far as the symbiote stories I prefer, the simpler the better. I found King in Black and Absolute Carnage a bit overwhelming.
Probably at first it was because of Brock’s phisique. But since the symbiote is made of goo, it can give the host the appearance it wants, within a certain limit.
At least we know the reverse can’t happen. Unless they reveal symbiotes as living multidimensional portals like in the “The End” oneshot.
All this time I figured Venom was as physically menacing as he was because Eddie Brock was a bodybuilder. With Dylan as the host, it appears that it was just the symbiote and had nothing to do with Eddie’s stature or strength. Kind of like a Shazam thing going on there. Weird.
I think Venom needs a few more variants.
