Hero Datafile: Anti-Venom

Eddie Brock became Anti-Venom after the remnants of his former symbiote were transformed by Mister Negative’s strange healing powers, creating a white symbiote unlike any other. As Anti-Venom, Eddie possesses many of Venom’s familiar abilities, but his touch can also purge toxins, disease, and even other symbiotes from a victim’s body. Haunted by his past as Venom, Eddie tries to turn his monstrous power into something redemptive, even when his cure can be as painful and dangerous as the disease.
