I feel much love and acceptance; it is as though I have been wandering through the desert, and lo and behold--Sarah and Ducky and Petri and Spike, and all the rest of his much-loved friends!
...I'll stop before I just get annoying.

[Little Foot]

Sorry to get off topic again but I'm about to decapitate myself if I see another Little Foot picture

yea the other day someone asked him to drop having the image in all his posts. If he really wants to have little foot pic get the post count for avator.

...And the Sharp-teeth return! Noooooooooo!

I can't wait to see how Eddie Brock acts in the upcoming episode.

I don't think that he'll act in a drastically different way; he'll probably continue to be a bit withdrawn from Peter.

Oh, no need to apologize. I was getting annoying. I'm sorry for over-using; give me time, I'll try to mellow that image out.
Do you think that a complete breakdown in their friendship is necessary? I could see it remaining distant like it is, and after the symbiote pops in, there goes Eddie.

 

[The Joker_1000]

So.....how about that Venom.....?

 

[Little Foot]

So.....how about that Venom.....?

I could derail the thread further...but rather...I'll just repeat the gist of what I said earlier: I think that the development of Brock presents the most interesting (and in my opinion, best) back-story to Venom ever.

 

[The Joker_1000]

That's because they've included more chemistry with him and Park instead of Brock being a spur of the moment type of character that's introduced, turned into a villain, and never seen again.

 

[Little Foot]

That's because they've included more chemistry with him and Park instead of Brock being a spur of the moment type of character that's introduced, turned into a villain, and never seen again.

Oh, agreed. Still, the movie's Brock, though rushed, was a reasonably worthwhile character.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

I don't think that he'll act in a drastically different way; he'll probably continue to be a bit withdrawn from Peter.

Oh I don't expect him to act very diferent, but as you said, maybe just a bit withdrawn from Peter.

 

[IamProdigy]

Suns better beat the crap out of Spurs...

 

[Little Foot]

Oh I don't expect him to act very diferent, but as you said, maybe just a bit withdrawn from Peter.

Okay--it's agreed, then.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Okay--it's agreed, then.

Indeed it is.

 

[IamProdigy]

If this was a primetime series, I bet Eddie Brock would rape Gwen Stacy when they go to that Fall Formal, lol.

 

[Little Foot]

If this was a primetime series, I bet Eddie Brock would rape Gwen Stacy when they go to that Fall Formal, lol.

The only appropriate response to that is: LOL.

 

[IamProdigy]

Lol, well in the Ultimate comics, I thought they were gonna have Brock end up raping Gwen because they were alone in Brock's dorm, lol.

But hopefully Marvel wouldn't go that far.

 

[Webzpinner]

I love what they are doing with Brock in the series... just little nudges setting up wedges between Eddie and Peter. Eddie is an "adult" college kid, and seeing Pete make all these stupid adolescent mistakes just pisses him off. Once the suit grabs hold of Eddie's anger and insecurities, and magnifies them, this version of Venom will have the strongest motivation.

If Venom is 1/5 as cool as this series' Green Goblin, then I will be mondoly happy.

Cool, Eddie is coming back and looking forward to Anti-Venom. Heck, I don't even know what's going on in comics these days. The last I read was the Civil War issue where Spidey took his mask off in public. Anybody care to fill me in or point me in the right direction as to what I should read to keep up with recent events in Spidey's life?

 

[Webhead2006]

so much has happen it would be easier to just go to wiki under spiderman and look up his bio page and go from civil war- brand new day.

Here is a quick recap on 616 spidey from wikipedia:

[edit] Civil War
Main article: Civil War (comic book)

The "Iron Spider" costume from Civil War #3. Cover art by Michael Turner.In the 2006 crossover Civil War, the Marvel heroes find themselves divided on the issue of whether to register with the U.S. government under the Superhuman Registration Act and reveal their secret identities and superhuman abilities. Tony Stark (Iron Man) drafts a conflicted Spider-Man into a task-force to compel the rebel superheroes to register. Following Stark's lead, he unmasks himself at a televised news conference at the U.S. Capitol.[7] In the aftermath, J. Jonah Jameson files a lawsuit against Parker, demanding repayment of money for "fraudulent" Spider-Man photos Parker shot for the Daily Bugle. After developing a growing unease about the Registration Act, Stark's motives, and witnessing the death of Dr. Bill Foster, the Black Goliath, Spider-Man learns that the unregistered captives are being held indefinitely in a high-tech prison built in the Negative Zone by Fantastic Four Incorporated and Stark Enterprises under a US$2 billion no-bid contract. These circumstances prompt Parker to escape with Aunt May and Mary Jane and join the Anti-Registration forces after a confrontation with Iron Man, although he requires the aid of the Punisher to escape.

Following the end of the war, with Registration successfully established, Parker, May, and Mary Jane remain fugitives, and May is critically wounded by a sniper's bullet.[8]


[edit] Back in Black

Spider-Man returns to his black costume. Art by Ron Garney.Aunt May is shot by an assassin and goes into a coma.[9] This provokes Spider-Man to return to his black costume, and to act in a fiercer way than he ever has before, brutally ripping information from his victims. He tracks down the sniper, who is murdered before Spider-Man can reach him. Nonetheless, he discovers that though incarcerated at Ryker's Island Prison, Wilson Fisk a.k.a. the Kingpin had hired the shooter. Spider-Man confronts the Kingpin in prison, beating and humiliating him, then threatening to kill him should Aunt May die. Spider-Man warns the onlooking prisoners to spread the message that the same fate awaits anyone who attempts to harm a member of the Parker family. Upon returning to May's hospital room, Spider-Man discovers that his desperate ploy to cure May with a transfusion of his unique blood has failed, and death is inevitable.

Meanwhile, Eddie Brock, the former and first Venom, is in the same hospital as Aunt May. Without the symbiote, Brock is a broken man with severe mental problems, haunted by an imaginary symbiote. His dark side persuades him to kill May. Wearing a fabric version of Spider-Man's black suit, he sets off to do so, but then successfully fights the Venom within him. Peter arrives, and Brock displays slashes in his arms where he "cut" Venom out of himself. He jumps out the window, but Peter rescues him. Brock later awakens in a hospital bed, still imagining Venom.

Spider-Man also remains a member of the New Avengers, now underground after the surrender of Captain America and provided with secure accommodation by Doctor Strange. The New Avengers are driven by two goals; to save people "the way [they] want to", and to investigate the reason why the world has been turned upside-down recently. After a confrontation with Elektra and the Hand to rescue Echo, the team discovers that Elektra had been replaced with a Skrull some indeterminate time ago, but whether more prominent figures in the Marvel Universe have been replaced with Skrulls by this point is unclear.

In the Avengers: The Initiative #7, it was revealed that the Scarlet Spiders, a type of covert ops team with powers similar to Spider-Man's and suit morphing abilities, helped restore Peter Parker's secret identity. The group asks Spider-Man for help in capturing a gang called the Vulturions. In return, in front of a public crowd, all three of the Scarlet Spiders changes their appearance so they looked like Peter Parker. The Scarlet Spiders lied to the crowd and said that Peter Parker was a member of the group but was fired for bad behavior.

Betty Brant says it wouldn't be the first time that Peter Parker pretended to be Spider-Man in order to help the hero out and believes his self-outing during the Civil War was a similar act. Even J. Jonah Jameson isn't sure if Peter Parker is really Spider-Man. However, Peter is not freed from his claims of being Spider-Man, but the Scarlet Spiders Red Team hopes that Peter will be given some room to redeem himself now that he no longer has to stay hidden.[10]


[edit] One More Day
Main article: Spider-Man: One More Day

Promotional art for The Amazing Spider-Man #545, the final issue of Spider-Man's marriage. Art by Joe Quesada.Just prior to the One More Day storyline, Peter publicly confronts the government's Scarlet Spiders who each wear redesigned "Iron Spider" armor; their appearance in battle against and alongside Peter raised public doubt over whether Parker is the original and/or only Spider-Man, despite his previous public revelation.


MJ's Deal with Mephisto.By this point, a despondent Peter is unable to live with his guilt. As he contemplates stealing money in order to pay Aunt May's medical expenses, Jarvis, the Avenger's butler, arranges at Tony Stark's orders to pay for her care. Still desperate, Peter contacts such diverse characters as Mister Fantastic and the High Evolutionary to help his aunt. When they cannot, his desperation prompts the demon Mephisto to appear to him with a bargain; he will save May's life, so long as Peter and Mary Jane agree to have their marriage and all memory of it disappear. The couple agree, though Mary Jane offers Mephisto something in a whisper. Peter awakens the following morning in an alive Aunt May's home and hurries off to a surprise party in honor of Harry Osborn's return from Europe (Harry was resurrected as a result of Mephisto's changes). Mary Jane seems to know Peter, but leaves the party as Peter sees her. Peter and the others raise a toast to a "Brand New Day".[11]


[edit] Spider-Man: Brand New Day
Main article: Spider-Man: Brand New Day
Mary Jane and Peter are said to have been in a long-term relationship, but things had soured, and Mary Jane has moved away. Peter Parker returns to work at the Bugle under its new publisher, Dexter Bennett. He lives at Aunt May's house while he searches for an affordable apartment in the city. He has not been Spider-Man for several weeks, but the financial need to get pictures of him prompts him back into action. The discovery of a string of bodies with spider-tracers attached to them leads the police to declare Spider-Man an official murder suspect; this, combined with his disobedience of the SHRA, has strained his relationship with the police more than ever before.
