About Me
"The darkness
that shrouds this city is nothing. Nothing! Not compared the shroud that Parker pulled
over me! He stole my life... shattered it... then tossed it away like yesterday's news! So it is only
fitting, only fair, that I do the same to him!"
Eddie Brock was once a respected reporter who worked for the New York Globe, a rival of the Daily Bugle. For a while, he was a media star, following his expose of a man who had confessed to being the serial killer called the Sin-Eater. However, Spider-Man caught the real Sin-Eater. The man Eddie turned in was a compulsive confessor. As a result, Eddie was fired from his job and his wife left him. With his career and personal life shattered, Eddie blamed Spider-Man for his loss. He wandered from church to church, praying for forgiveness for his hatred of Spider-Man. At our Lady of Saints Church, Eddie's fierce emotion somehow awakened the dormant alien symbiote that had remained in the church after its final encounter with Spider-Man. The symbiote flowed over Eddie and they joined to become Venom.
