Venom’s New “V-Star Symbiote” Is the Character’s Best Redesign of All Time
Venom is one of Marvel’s hottest characters, and half of that’s the sheer versatility of the symbiote’s design. Over the previous few many years, Venom has had some wonderful designs, and Marvel simply put out one other improbable one with this new V-Star design that’s not like something Venom has had earlier than. This new design takes Venom to the far finish of sci-fi, as Venom finally ends up wanting way more like an android from the future than the iconic alien goo that readers know.
This killer new design was simply debuted in the Venomverse Reborn #3 story “Beyond the Void” by Steve Foxe and Kei Zama. This story takes place on Earth-71490, the house of Spider-Verse hero Web-Weaver. There’s been a current spree of brutal murders in opposition to a former analysis crew, and Web-Weaver is decided to get to the backside of it. While Web-Weaver is conscious the killer is a symbiote, he may by no means be ready for the brand-new look that this universe’s Venom is sporting.
It seems that this universe’s model of Venom is not Eddie Brock, however as a substitute Cindy Moon. Having been experimented on by the villainous Project V-Star, the Venom symbiote was pulled from an out of doors actuality and contaminated Cindy Moon’s whole household, killing her mom and father earlier than spreading to her and her brother. To ease her brother’s struggling, Cindy absorbs the majority of the symbiote out of him, remodeling into one thing readers have by no means seen earlier than.
V-Star Is A Venom Design Unlike Anything Readers Have Seen Before

This model of Venom is not the traditional muscle-bound hulking monster that readers are used to. Likewise, it isn’t the glossy Spider-Man-alike design both. Instead, this V-Star Venom has a futuristic, angular design. That is smart, as this symbiote is seemingly from one other actuality fully, with completely different bodily legal guidelines. It’s an incredible new look that Venom hasn’t had earlier than, and it really goes a protracted method to making Venom look otherworldly.
It appears appears to be like aren’t the solely distinction both, as this V-Star Venom is proven absolutely succesful of flying, which is a feat Venom is not often succesful of, until he first grows wings. V-Star is linked to the multiverse on a psychic degree and perceives time in a different way {that a} human, stripping Cindy of her humanity and leaving her obsessive about taking predestined vengeance in opposition to the scientists who studied and manipulated her transformation.
There have been dozens of Venom hosts over the years, and none of them have appeared the identical. From slight alterations like Dylan Brock’s chain-wielding model to main adjustments akin to Guardians of the Galaxy’s Space Knight Venom, Venom can tackle dozens of completely different kinds and slot in virtually any setting. The Venom symbiote has been in Viking tales and now proves that it may well do sci-fi simply as simply. It’s this versatility that makes Venom succesful of supporting a whole multiverse of tales.

Every time Venom bonds with a brand new host, he takes on a brand new type. Sometimes these kinds are main adjustments, whereas typically they’re minor variations on his traditional design. Eddie Brock’s model of Venom appears to be like fully completely different from when Peter Parker wore the symbiote, they usually each look virtually unrecognizable from when Flash Thompson wore it as Agent Venom. There are different universes, akin to the Mangaverse the place Kid Venom resides, the world the place a dinosaur wears the symbiote, and plenty of events and timelines the place the symbiote claims new hosts together with the Hulk, Spider-Gwen and Hyperion. Each time, followers know they will stay up for a novel twist on Venom.
However, the V-Star goes additional, pushing the boundaries of Venom’s origin and powers to create what’s basically a brand new character with a novel connection to symbiote lore. It’s doubtless that Venomverse Reborn‘s finest symbiotes will return quickly (Kid Venom obtained his personal comedian collection), so hopefully that is simply the begin of the V-Star symbiote’s horror-tinged sci-fi story as the latest (and maybe finest) Venom variant in the Marvel multiverse.
