Venom ( is now flash thompson )

deadpoolRKO · 02-10-2011, 08:33 AM

On December 9, 2010, Marvel Comics announced a new "black ops" Venom that's owned by the government. The new Venom will be featured in a new series called Venom in March 2011. The birth of the new Venom can be seen in The Amazing Spider-Man #654.1 in February 2011.On January 28, 2011, the identity of "black ops" Venom was revealed to be Flash Thompson.

He's a pic of the new " Military style " venom

Flash of course was the football star who used to bully peter , then On the other hand, Flash greatly admires Spider-Man, an irony in which Parker takes some gratification. After graduation, Flash joins the United States Army and is haunted by his combat experiences, leading to alcoholism. Later, Flash and Peter become best friends.

So it's very interesting that he's the new Venom. I'm just excited he's getting his own series.

This is way cool.

Is this actually an alien symiote, or just a military suit?

Anyway, I like it.

What I read was that they'd "militarized" the symbiote. There'll also be restrictions on how many times and for what length of time Flash is authorized to wear the suit. Some neat ideas are worked into this pairing- I especially like the application of the symbiote's camouflage and shapeshifting abilities to espionage work.

Um... is this public knowledge acknowledged by Marvel yet? I know the identity was leaked like last week or something but weren't they waiting until the series started to reveal? Otherwise this should've been spoiler tagged out the butt.

wilddiverse · 02-11-2011, 01:26 AM

I read an interview with the writer on Newsarama where the identity was stated, referencing the character's established temper as being potentially problematic.

*Raph's Girl* · 02-11-2011, 01:41 AM

Flash Thompson becoming a heroic Venom is good for 1 reason. He gets the ability to walk again. Flash joined the military in the One More Day crap and lost his legs in an explosion in Afghanastan.

Wasn't that the accidental leak, though?

**Jester** · 02-11-2011, 02:10 AM

I saw the image in a comic book on news stands now...not sure if they said it was Flash.

*Ninjinister* · 02-11-2011, 02:33 AM

Yeah they've had the the image around for a while. My point is, I'm pretty sure that Marvel themselves wanted to keep it as a surprise, and so this should have been spoiler-marked. I don't care, as I found out last week who the new Venom is, but somebody might.

It seemed awful detailed for an accidental leak... let's check...

Mid-December Remender interview: http://www.newsarama.com/comics/rick...ng-101216.html where the new host was being kept mum.

Then two weeks ago the host is "purportedly accidentally" revealed here: http://www.newsarama.com/comics/marv...om-110128.html
It reads like the editor wasn't supposed to say who the new host is, but I don't quite buy it...

And this preview posted yesterday of Amazing Spider-Man #654.1 shows him in action: http://www.newsarama.com/php/multime....php?aid=41845

I don't know spoiler etiquette, but it seems like this cat's been out of the spider-bag for some time now.

I haven't read spiderman in years. Is this from the normal ongoing series or the Ultimate version? Also, what happened to Eddie Brock?

Rikirk · 02-11-2011, 04:43 AM

Eddie Brock became Antivenom.
Google his name,...there are more twists to his story than a pack of twizzlers.

wilddiverse · 02-11-2011, 11:24 PM

Twizzlers don't make mouth as happy as BRAINS!!!

**Venom** · 02-21-2011, 11:48 PM

I preferred the chocolate phase.

**Jester** · 02-22-2011, 12:26 AM

Hey...what's up Eugene?

deadpoolRKO · 03-19-2011, 06:47 AM

I picked up / read

Venom #1
it was a solid issue.

Spoiler:

Spoiler: Basically Flash Thompson has lost his legs , The Military has the Venom Symbiote and he can wear it for an hour at a time to do missions , but if he gets too angry they have to kill him or the bond with the suit will be permanent. Most of the issue he looks like that pic in the beginning of this thread , just normal human size , military suit , ect. He had a pretty cool fight with " Jack O Lantern " and he gets mad and for a few frames you see the " suit " take over and that Infamous Venom Tounge flies out and he gets bigger and he hits jack with a uppercut that sends him flying. lol. overalll it was a sweet issue. great artwork. I'll prolly pick up the next few issues to see how it plays out. __________________ ( TMNT Clothes , DVD's , Accesories , ect. ) Red Bubble ( My Tee Shirt Designs )
