Venom
Venom is a symbiotic alien entity bonded with various human hosts, notably Eddie Brock and later Flash Thompson. It grants superhuman strength, agility, and a shape-shifting black costume. Initially a Spider-Man villain due to its origins, Venom evolved into an antihero, battling both villains and his own dark impulses. The character embodies themes of duality and redemption within the Marvel Universe.
Black Cat
Black Cat is a Spider-Man spinoff movie from Sony Pictures. Originally the movie was set to feature Black Cat and Silver Sable, but that plan was scrapped in favor of two separate solo movies. While there have been MCU crossovers with Sony’s characters, such as Venom and Morbius, Black Cat will be set in Sony’s Universe of Marvel Characters outside of the MCU.
