He knows he wants to protect the innocent (and kill Spider-Man), but is upset his attempts at vigilante justice aren’t being appreciated. Set during the early days of Venom’s career, the issue finds Eddie Brock trying to figure out his place in the world. So if you’re not into Venom becoming a better person, here he’s throwing cars at petty thieves. Sometimes he’d try to kill J Jonah Jameson by mistake! That’s the take character co-creator David Michelinie is returning to in Venom: Lethal Protector #1.
His greatest superpower: rationalizing whatever he did as either heroic or caused by someone else. Which meant Venom was still an unstable maniac. Dark, evil-looking Spider-Man’s suddenly a hit character? Give him his own title and have him fight even worse guys! Except, in practice, a lot of effort was put into making the character true to his villainous early appearances. Venom’s string of solo titles in the 90’s may have been stretching things by calling him an “anti-hero.” Though, according to the writers of the time, that was definitely what the publishers wanted him to be.
