From eldritch gods to intercrossed monstrosities , Marvel has been overrun by a slew of new symbiotes following Knull ’s invasion and throughout Eddie Brock ’s reign as the King in Black . While Venom will always be Marvel ’s most pop alien symbiote , these new symbiotic add-on merit a mirthful comeback , if not their own MCU debut .
Before Marvel’sAbsolute Carnageevent , Marvel Comics severely miss a wider range of Klyntar characters . Venom , Carnage , the Life Foundation symbiotes , and a smattering of symbiote side character . However , after Knull ’s invasion , Earth became overrun with many raw and alone additions to the bloodsucking alien lifeforms . Among Marvel ’s many raw symbiotes , some stand out amid the relaxation . These ten extraterrestrial creatures are unlike anything Marvel has determine in the past tense . While the Venom War has formally come to a close , these ten symbiotes merit a mirthful comebackin future stories featuring Eddie Brock and the Lethal Protector .
1Knull
Debuted In:Venom #3 (2018)by Donny Cates and Ryan Stegman
While Knull may not technically be a symbiote himself , no lean of Marvel symbiotes can be complete without the Klyntar ’s Godhead . aeon before Peter Parker discovered Venom , Knull existed in the primordial void between the death of the Sixth Cosmos and the nascency of the Seventh . When Celestials brought living to the Multiverse and knight Knull the King in Black , the eldritch execration reject the cosmic gods .
Knull waged state of war against the universe , eventually harnessing the Living Void and the power of a deadened Celestial to create the first symbiote , All - Black the Necrosword . While the primordial being ab initio succeeded in his conquest , the symbiotes nauseate , pin down Knull in a living prison house until his eventual release . Despite Knull ’s importance during theKing in Blackevent , the grapheme miscarry to persist in the comics following Eddie Brock ’s ascension asthe new King in Black . Knull may have solidify himself as an established symbiotic character , but he , more than any symbiote , deserves a chance to return as a fresh villain .

After usurp Knull as the King in Black , Eddie Brock unlocked the cosmic power to see through and possess any symbiote throughout the Multiverse and across all time . At the end of all beingness , and the precipice of the Ninth Cosmos , Eddie catch himself become an unparalleled force of wipeout call the Anti - All . However , a reading of Eddie , thousands of old age down the line , resist to accept his inevitable destinyand cast himself aside from his fixed track in metre .
I ’m reasonably confident that Marvel ’s newest Spider - Man series is setting the stage for a brand - newfangled version of Venom ( in the form of Peter Parker ’s Word ) .
Now calling himself Meridius , Eddie had practically lost all of his humanity , instead being supervene upon with a fully symbiotic eubstance and an unparalleled thirst to rule . As an eternal male monarch in Black , Meridiuscommands the Multiversewith an iron handle , far exceed what Knull was ever subject of . in person train by Kang in the art of combat , strategy , and espionage , Meridius is a terror so potent that only another Riley B King in Black could hope to vote out him .
3The Arachniote
Debuted In:Venom War: Spider-Man #1 (2024)by Collin Kelly, Jackson Lanzing, & Greg Land
Also known as the All - Hunger , the Arachniote is an unusual person among the Klyntar . The Arachniote is a specialized symbiote loanblend that spawned from two individual symbiotes bonding together . Unlike a traditional dental amalgam symbiote , which still requires a horde to bond to , the Arachniote is a wholly sovereign organism , lop from the Symbiote Hive - Mind . Among the Klyntar , symbiote - on - symbiote bonding is consider a profane enactment , so vile that it even intimated Knull . During the Venom War , Meridius summoned the symbiotic monster , directing it to enamour the Venom symbiote .
In its full form , the Arachniote is an eldritch abomination unlike any other . Composed of oodles of amorphous melanize arachnid branch and a tentacled fount , the Arachniote bring havoc on the psyche of those who stare upon its heretic creation . deplorably , despite its singular novelty , the Arachniote break down fairly shortly after its debut . While Marvel has previously expanded the mechanics of dental amalgam symbiotes and hybrid symbiotes , this atrociousness is a completely new character of symbiote that should be explored further in futureVenom or Eddie Brock comic strip .
4Bedlam

Bedlam is another version of Eddie Brock ’s temporally displaced next selves . Like Meridius , Bedlam has long abandoned his original human form , rather omnipresently existing among all symbiotes as a King in Black . Bedlam ’s psyche is indistinguishable to Eddie ’s during his days as the Lethal Protector . All consumed by his furore , Bedlam is a hulking brute who lives for nothing more than to killPeter Parker and Eddie Brock .
While he lack the same strategical creative thinker as his future ego , Bedlam ’s unruly fury is a terrifying distillation of Eddie Brock ’s worst quality .
Like the other Martin Luther King in Black , Bedlam is still a master of the Multiverse and commands the Symbiote Hive - Mind with similar authority to the innovative Eddie Brock and Meridius . However , his quenchless bloodlust makes him a relatively simple - minded behemoth . Among Eddie ’s other temporal outgrowth , Bedlam is by far the strongest in term of raw mogul . While he lacks the same strategic mind as his future selves , Bedlam ’s unmanageable fury is a terrifying distillation of Eddie Brock ’s big quality .
