Eddie Brock is the original Venom and one of Spider-Man's arch-enemies.
Origin
Eddie Brock was a reporter for the Daily Globe before it came to light that he had fabricated a story revealing the identity of the Sin-Eater. Shortly after the story was published, Spider-Man caught the real Sin-Eater, disgracing Brock as a news reporter and costing him his job and then his wife. Now writing for cheap gossip magazines, Brock centered his frustration on utter loathing of Spider-Man, which only escalated when it is revealed that Brock had cancer. In response to this news, Brock began working out, bringing his body to levels of amazing athletic performance. Meanwhile, the Symbiote, having recovered and needing another human host in order to survive, found itself psychically attracted to Brock for both his increased adrenaline and mutual hatred for Spider-Man.

Trivia
- There are two Venoms in the game (the second Venom controlling Harry), so it might be confusing to tell which Venom is which.
