Warning: Contains potential spoilers for All-New Venom #6!Now that Marvel Comics has made the shocking reveal that Mary Jane Watson had become the new host of Venom, the publisher can finally explain how their newfound connection works. MJ has already shown off some incredible new abilities as Venom, but it seems that her latest symbiote transformation comes with a disturbing side effect that could have terrifying consequences for both the hero and her new other half.

In a wild new upgrade, the villainous symbiote Venom has become "Godvenom." The last decade has seen Venom truly emerge as a standalone character - no longer an antihero ing character in Spider-Man's adventures, but a complex protagonist with his own sprawling lore, ing cast, and godlike villains. However, even in that context, no-one expected the immense upgrade Marvel just gave the Lethal Protector.

Warning: Spoilers for Godzilla vs. Spider-Man #1!Marvel's next crossover for Godzilla could gift the Kaiju his own Venom symbiote, taking his reign of terror to a whole new level. One of my favorite highlights of 2025 has been Godzilla’s takeover of the Marvel Universe. Through a series of one-shots, the colossal monster has been clashing with various Marvel heroes, and this thrilling saga is set to continue.

New comments from one MCU actor make us hopeful that a new version of Venom could soon debut in Marvel Studios' Spider-Man franchise. The alien Symbiote known as Venom is one of the most iconic Spider-Man-related characters in Marvel Comics history, but the villain-turned-antihero has not yet had a major role in the MCU. With Tom Holland set to return as Peter Parker in 2026's Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the stage is set for a completely new version of Venom to make his mark on the MCU.

If anyone knows scary, it's the original host for Venom, Eddie Brock. Eddie Brock is the most iconic host of Venom, but currently he's working with the Carnage symbiote. Both symbiotes have proven to be among the scariest characters in Marvel history, but as far as Eddie is concerned, there is someone out there in the Marvel Universe who is even worse.

Within the last few years alone, Marvel has introduced dozens of new symbiotes into the Venomfranchise. While symbiotes like Venom and Carnage are by far the franchise’s most popular characters, there are far more symbiotes that deserve more attention than they get from Marvel fans. These living globs of alien goop aren’t just powerful, they’re more entertaining than anyone gives them credit for.

The identity of the All-New Venom has finally been revealed to be Mary Jane Watson. The long-time Spider-Man love interest has long abandoned her need to rely on others when she became the randomized hero known as Jackpot. However, now the hero has donned the Venom symbiote and all the ridiculously powerful abilities that come with possessing one of the Multiverse’s most efficient and adaptable living weapons.
