I hope so. I'd like to see him incorporate the symbiote into his own new, expanded powers. But this time he'd consume the symbiote and control, not the other way around. A complete merge.

BTW, in continuity wasn't the symbiote only supposed to permanently bond one time? :huh: They keep changing stuff. Unless the deal with Gargan isn't a full bond, but a union of convenience (like Brock).

Con....tin.....uity? What? Look, i'm sorry, I don't speak spanish.


Seriously though... It was intended (I guess) for the suit to have permanently bonded with Brock - the entire subject being the point of Jenkins' Hunger arc at the beginning of Sensational Spider-Man. Which of course was conveniently swept aside during Millar's run in MK.

Currently, I guess the symbiote is free to choose hosts at will and currently is shacking up with Gargan in a - as you say - union of convenience.

I believe however, that the original intent for the symbiote when it was first introduced was to always have it be a free-roaming organism. Shacking up with, and dumping hosts whenever it wanted.
 
Basically no for two reasons-

Spidey would not be that stupid to get w/ it, and secondly after VenomIII has served his purpose in the minds of Marvel's editorial, the symbiote will get back w/ Brock next year in time for the big SM3 push.

You believe right.
 
Yeah I think its fair to say that Brock will get it back intime for Spidey 3.

If Marvel did ever have Spidey take back the symbiote willingly then it would take one hell of a story to convince me because it really would make no sense for him to take it back considering what hes been put through because of it.

Or it might get back with Peter for a while and THEN get back with Brock for the SM3 push.

Well... IT MIGHT happen... the story most likely WILL SUCK... but since we have Peter Griffin playing Peter Parker, chnces are that he'll take it and ditch MJ for it...
Only Peter Griffin would unmask to the world putting his family in danger, or take the mech-symbiote sidekick suit, or think that the stingers are freaking sweet... not Peter Parker...
 
I think Spidey will get the symbiote back at the end of Civil War. I think it will drive him to beat the crap out of Iron Man nearly killing him, and ending civil war. Not to mention they desperatly need to get spidey back in black before may.

The one time a "hey, let's change the comics to fit the movie!" move would actually be a good thing. :o
 
meh, i honestly don't see what's wrong with the venom symbiote...

if a human being can handle a symbiote as 'Torment' and if Ben reilly can handle the most dangerous of all symbiotes carnage, the same one who managed to take control of the silver surfer in two universes, one universe caused him to go into a crazy rampage and kill loads of peeps, then i don't see why sissy boy parker can't handle a lil bit of venom...

saying this, he's probably had the second longest exposure to a symbiote ever but also saying that, the conciousness of it was dormant for the pretty much the whole time so it doesn't count...

sissy boy parker scared of a lil symbiote...tsssk...

:o

Yeah, originally the plan was to have it go throughout the marvel universe, attaching itself to various characters along the way.
 
If I remember hearing rightly, the symbiote in the comics never directly affected Peter's moods. It never turned him into 'Jekyll and Hyde' being with a dark and good side, each at constant odds with the other. The 'symbiote will corrupt you and turn you eviiilllll...!' is a storyline that was used in the 90's ASM cartoon, Ultimate Spider-man, and the upcoming movie.

My question is (if what I heard above is correct) why on earth did Peter shun the symbiote in the first place??? Strength augmentation, near invulnerability, healing factor? Why would he ever get rid of it???
 
Hello Rambo, John J,

You are correct. In the comics, the suit did not really make Peter a bad guy. It was trying to take him over. The suit brought him out while he was sleeping. It affected his energy...he was tired a lot. The thing that tipped him off that the suit was alive was when he tried to web PUMA and he told Peter that the webbing was organic. He then went to the FF and got it off.

In the 90s cartoon, it turned him evil and it was trying to take him over.

This, from what we have seen, will be the plot of SPIDER-MAN 3.

I, for one, am all for it. I cannot wait to see TOBY lose control.

The symbiote absorbed Peter's superhuman strength. this is what transferred to Brock.

And the writers at Marvel clearly don't know what SYMBIOTE means...a symbiotic relationship aids BOTH parties. They only wrote Venom as an energy leeching parasite that changed Peter's behavior. I got a little annoyed at the 'ease' of which Peter was manipulated by the thing. A symbiosis would merge them into a single being (Which is what Venom originally wanted, also in the HUNGER).

A parasite is NOT a symbiote. At least in Spiderman Unlimited cartoons, the symbiote didn't just 'control' Peter.
 
I doubt it. I don't think Spidey would want anyone or anything influencing his decisions again after CW, & I think he should stick w/plain old spandex for the same reason.
