How Strong Is Venom Really? Stronger Without Spider-Man
Everyone can tell you Venom's name. Almost nobody can tell you what Venom actually is, and the comics have answered it, on the page, nine separate times since 1984.
What this issue actually reads
Eddie Brock is one entry on a list of fourteen. This is what the symbiote is, how strong it really gets, what actually stops it, who wore it before any of them, and the detail that runs through all 34 years: not one host ever chose to put it on.
Everything here comes from the comics themselves. No theories, no leaks, no fan-canon.
