After being bonded with Brock, he initially became a supervillain and one of the greatest adversaries of Spider-Man but later became more of an anti-hero. After that, it made its way through a variety of different hosts, most notably being Eddie Brock. In the comics, Venom is a symbiote that came to Earth from the planet Klyntar and first bonded with Spider-Man.It is also opportunistic, seeking to go skinny dipping and expressing disappointment at being sent back to its own universe after such a short time.

Venom is impulsive and quick to anger, chastising Eddie Brock for disliking the name 'Lethal Protector' and for making assumptions about aliens. 'Eddie! We are drunk! Get up! Let's go skinny dip!' ―Venom to Eddie Brock However, Venom unknowingly left a detached piece of itself behind in the other universe, which began to move on its own. Realizing what was occurring, Venom stated that it did not wish to return yet as they had only recently arrived, but its attempts to resist were futile as it and Brock were transported back to their universe. As the bartender reminded Brock that he needed to pay the bill, Venom, along with Brock, found themselves enveloped in a bright light. When Brock decided to go to New York City and meet Spider-Man, Venom suggested that they go skinny dipping instead, although Brock refused. Brock did not believe the story about Thanos' desire for the Stones, as he believed all aliens had Venom's singular desire to eat brains. They also learned about Thanos and how his quest to obtain the Infinity Stones resulted in the Snap. The two learned about Tony Stark and Bruce Banner, with Venom chiding Brock for disliking the name 'Lethal Protector' after learning that Banner went by the name 'Hulk'. Over the course of the next several hours, Brock conversed with the bartender and learned that the universe they now occupied contained a multitude of individuals with superhuman abilities, with Venom having to remind Brock of this due to his intoxicated state.

Venom and Brock then left the room and went to the resort's bar in an attempt to make sense of their surroundings. 'Yeah, because it is.' ― Eddie Brock and Venom 'Yeah, and you thought 'Lethal Protector' was a shit name!'
