 * I would like to update the summary for the Ultimate Spider-Man TV series bracket because the information is a season behind (i.e. Kevin Michael Richardson (in "Avenging Spider-Man" [Parts 1-2]) and Dee Bradley Baker (in "Agent Venom") voiced the character along with Matt Lanter (as Harry Osborn and Flash Thompson) and Steven Weber (in "Venom Bomb").

Marvel Cinematic Universe
In an interview with Kevin Feige (head honcho of the MCU) and Amy Pascal (the person in creative control of Spider-Man at Sony in links with the MCU) yesterday, they both confirmed that not only will Venom be part of the MCU, but will have, in an undetermined spotlight, Tom Holland as Spiderman. The section saying contradicting these facts needs to be updated.
 * How does it need to be updated? Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 21:28, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

Recently, in an interview with Fandom powered by Wikia, Amy Pascal (one of the producers of Marvel and Sony's Spider-Man: Homecoming) has confirmed that Venom, Silver and Black, and all other Sony's Marvel Universe movies exist "in the same reality" as the Tom Holland iteration of Spider-Man that is the Marvel Cinematic Universe although "you're not going to see them" in the MCU flesh and blood though. Kevin Feige (Marvel Studios producer) has also confirmed Pascal's comments stating (to quote Feige) that it was "the perfect answer". So with that new information we really need to add this interview (with Fandom Powered by Wikia article as a source) to clarify that Ruben Fleischer's and Tom Hardy's Venom along with Gina Prince-Bythewood's Silver and Black do indeed exist in the same world as the MCU incarnation of Spider-Man.

Venom in film
Venom symbiote ended up not appearing the the Amazing Spider-Man 2 film. The scene where Gentleman is walking across the Oscorp possessions was edited with Venom symbiote being replaced by Rhino suit.

The suit only appeared in the trailer for Super Bowl. You can also check this information here - http://amazingspiderman.wikia.com/wiki/Symbiote

Please edit the section. Venom appeared in film only once at this point! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.253.242.241 (talk) 15:38, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

Please change the Venom in film section by either:

1. Correcting the Amazing Spider-Man series sub-section noting that Venom symbiote only appeared in the Super Bowl trailer briefly and DID NOT have an actual appearance in the movie - they replaced Venom with Rhino suit.

OR

2. Remove the subsection about the Amazing Spider-man series appearance entirely. He really only appears as easter egg, mentioned in the files of Harry Osbourne. Not enough for a proper appearance.

New to Wikipedia, but an entry is blatantly false.
There is an entry from 13 May 2014 at 18:54 by "Nightscream" that says that S.H.I.E.L.D. considers Venom as one of humanity's greatest threats. The entry references Marvel Knights Spider-man (2004) #7. Venomous 3 or 4. This entry is still there to this day. Neither S.H.I.E.L.D., Dr. Doom, Magneto or Red Skull are even mentioned in the comic. No easter egg references, nothing. And now its become a meme. I am a beginner on this whole Wikipedia thing and I was lucky to find both the original entry and this discussion page. If there anyone who can follow up, verify what I say and make/suggest a change? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nobodeyx (talk • contribs) 17:58, 31 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi, Nobodeyx. First off, WELCOME to Wikipedia!


 * Second, thanks for your work in going through the edit history to find that. I remember reading the trade paperback Spider-Man Ultimate Collection by Mark Millar, which collected issues 1 -12 of the 2004 series Marvel Knights Spider-Man, but I wanted to cite the specific original issue collected in that tpb, because I didn't want to cite the collected volume, so I tried to guess which of the 12 issues collected in that tpb it was. In retrospect, I don't think that was appropriate, and I think it may be written somewhere in WP:V that you have to cite the work you got the info from, even if it's a reprint. I now take better care to cite the work I got the info from, so I apologize for not doing so in 2014. I've gone and changed the citation in question, but if you or anyone else knows which issue of that series that scene appeared in, feel free to add it.


 * Btw, please make sure you sign your talk page posts, which makes it easier for everyone to know who they're addressing. You can do this by typing four tildes (~) at the end of them, which also automatically time stamps them. Thanks again! ;-) Nightscream (talk) 03:40, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

URL fix on some external links
i dont know much about editing wikipedia pages, but each of the 4 comicDB links has 'creator' in the URL, leading to a totally unrelated page. it appears that replacing it with "character" brings you to the correct page. for example, http://comicbookdb.com/creator.php?ID=1224 needs to be http://comicbookdb.com/character.php?ID=1224 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.68.246.52 (talk) 13:01, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

Requested move 19 April 2018

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Moved to Venom (Marvel Comics character). There is a clear consensus that the page should be moved, supported by good reasoning in the imprecision of the current title and the number of other meanings "venom" has in comics; however, there are also well-stated objections to (character) as a disambiguator. In this circumstance, the least wrong option is the most precise option offered, which also has solid support in the discussion. bd2412 T 20:16, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

– As instructed in Naming conventions (comics), "comics" is for publications, and "character" for articles about the character itself. Cambalachero (talk) 18:55, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Venom (comics) → Venom (character)
 * Venom (comic book) → Venom (comics)


 * Strong oppose and suggest Venom (Marvel Comics character) - Cambalachero's suggestion is WP:INCDAB because there are multiple characters in various media which are named "Venom" (see Venom (disambiguation)). -- Netoholic @ 19:48, 19 April 2018 (UTC)  Venom (comics) should then redirect to the DAB page as it is unclear on its own if it refers to a book series or the character. -- Netoholic @  03:40, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
 * The second comment here, that (comics) is ambiguous, is incorrect. Per the guidelines, (comics) should only refer to publications. Argento Surfer (talk) 13:14, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose and move to Venom (Marvel Comics character). There are numerous characters that use the name "Venom", and "Venom (comics)" can also refer to the DC Comics drug. JOE BRO  64  20:21, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
 * This character is the primary topic. The transformer is not notable for a standalone article, it's just a member of a list. The drug (which is not a character, and can't use the "comics" dab for the guideline linked) does not have a standalone article either. Cambalachero (talk) 20:35, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
 * WP:PRIMARYTOPIC only applies when discussing what article should be at the UN-disambiguated title (like Venom). Since this article is already disambiguated and NOT primary, then it cannot remain at an incomplete disambiguation, it must be made clearer to distinguish it from any other topics covered on Wikipedia. -- Netoholic @  22:39, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Actually, it is also used when discussing the DAB. And there's hardly any need to disambiguate Venom with topics that do not even have their own articles, hatnotes are enough for them. Cambalachero (talk) 01:05, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Per the first line of Disambiguation - "the process of resolving conflicts that arise when a potential article title is ambiguous, most often because it refers to more than one subject covered by Wikipedia, either as the main topic of an article, or as a subtopic covered by an article in addition to the article's main topic" - so yes, disambiguation can take into account topics which do not have their own separate article. That being said, we do have at least one article for another character listed on the disambig page - Venom Snake. -- Netoholic @  02:10, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
 * But that one is "Venom snake", not just "Venom". In fact, he shouldn't be in the DAB for that reason. Cambalachero (talk) 02:46, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
 * There is also Venomm - another Marvel Comics character and easily confused due to the spelling. -- Netoholic @ 03:45, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Support Looking over the characters at the DAB page, I'm not impressed by the arguments above. Three of them are characters. One is a redirect to a list entry that contains a one-word description. The other is also a Marvel Comics character, so the alternative DAB proposed would be no more accurate than (character). The spelling difference is sufficient in my view. Argento Surfer (talk) 13:14, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Here are four additional characters named Venom with coverage on Wikipedia. -- Netoholic @ 17:54, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Again, none of them have a standalone article. Cambalachero (talk) 18:05, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Again, read the first line of Disambiguation. Coverage is the standard, not whether a topic has a standalone article. -- Netoholic @ 18:12, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm not impressed by the "coverage" of these new findings. Argento Surfer (talk) 18:47, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
 * WP:PRECISION demands that such coverage make an impression on the discussion. (character) does not "unambiguously define the topical scope of the article". -- Netoholic @ 20:57, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
 * The word coverage does not appear in the policy you linked. It does, however, contain the phrase "precise enough to be understood by most people". I believe that applies here. Argento Surfer (talk) 12:38, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
 * As for coverage, I mentioned the lack of articles because it quickly points that those other items have so little coverage that they do not justify having standalone articles, nobody wrote about them so far. Ok, perhaps there is some substancial coverage about the "Venom" transformer that I didn't notice and nobody wrote an article about it yet... but you should prove it. "It exists" is not enough. As for the drug, it does not matter: the guideline is clear that the "comics" DAB is only for publications, so it would have to be pointed in DABS or hatnotes anyway. Even if this character did not exist and the drug justified a standalone article, the current guidelines would not allow to call it "Venom (comics)". Cambalachero (talk) 13:09, 23 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Support Rreagan007 (talk) 19:32, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Partial oppose "Venom (comics)" is a bad idea. It fails WP:PRECISE as it confuses the character and the comic book, both comics topics. Further, the comic book isn't the parent subject to the character, since the character is the parent to the comic book instead. Use the alternate disambiguation per Netholic for the character -- 70.51.203.56 (talk) 06:40, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
 * There is a guideline about this, Naming conventions (comics). It is clearly detailed there that the "comics" dab must be only for publications. Cambalachero (talk) 12:37, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Maybe its wrong and needs updating? -- Netoholic @ 23:00, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Feel free to propose such changes elsewhere, such as in the Village Pump or a RFC. This discussion should use the guidelines that we currently have. Cambalachero (talk) 01:03, 28 April 2018 (UTC)
 * It violates WP:PRECISE so it violates WP:POLICY in this case, therefore it cannot be used. Ambiguous disambiguation is not used, if it isn't a primary topic, and it isn't a primary topic because it carries parenthetical disambiguation. The general disambiguatory rules of Wikipedia as a whole set forth the standard. The local guidelines supplement that but should never violate the purpose of disambiguation, that is, disambiguating topics. "Comics" is a term that refers to any comics subject, such s fictional characters from comics, comic books, etc. Using a more ambiguous term to make it ambiguous with other comics topics clearly violates WP:ARTICLETITLES. If it isn't disambiguatory, then the comics guideline is useless in this matter. -- 70.51.203.56 (talk) 03:29, 28 April 2018 (UTC)
 * PRECISE is an general and abstract rule, and the naming conventions are specific for this kind of topic. So that one is the one that we have to follow. The policy itself says it: "Exceptions to the precision criterion may sometimes result from the application of some other naming criteria. Most of these exceptions are described in specific Wikipedia guidelines". Cambalachero (talk) 15:45, 28 April 2018 (UTC)
 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Unreadable
What is this? As someone with no knowledge of the story, this is almost impossible to parse:

"This caused Spider-Man and the symbiote to get angry because of their love for Flash and eventually they lost control, until Flash calmed them down and with his dying breath in courage to stop Norman. In the final battle Spider-Man tells to the symbiote to leave him and that he himself is going to all right while Norman also detaches himself from Carnage." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2407:7000:9B89:3C00:85E8:6936:EA10:408B (talk) 10:35, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
 * , you're good with plot elements. Can you help clarify this? Argento Surfer (talk) 13:44, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Perhaps the Symbiote has taken a liking to Flash Thompson and went into a blind rage over Flash's death as Spider-Man calmed him down prior to the Carnage symbiote detatching from Norman Osborn. It can be rewritten to be more understanding. --Rtkat3 (talk) 16:13, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

I'm a bit new on adding comments on the talk page so bear with me, this is taken from the Venom Marvel Wikifan database "Secret Wars The symbiote’s first human host was Deadpool, who came across its prison while on Battleworld and - hoping for a makeover - wore the creature for a few minutes before realizing it was alive and interfacing with his mind. Concerned that his insanity would adversely affect it, Deadpool returned the symbiote to its prison moments before the arrival of Spider-Man, whose own suit had been damaged in the battle happening outside." and is supported by the issue which was Published September, 2015 and Released July 29, 2015 and by also supported by where it has this scene. Thus to accurately display the correct information it should be changed so that it says that Deadpool was the first host to Venom.SecretLars (talk) 19:31, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

Requested move 18 September 2021

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. 

The result of the move request was: Moved to Venom (character). A sufficient consensus has been formed to override WP:INCOMPLETEDAB, i.e. apply its clause "In individual cases consensus may determine that a parenthetically disambiguated title that is still ambiguous has a primary topic". Other Venom characters seem to be just side characters, alternative names, and an obscure ring name, and none of them has a separate article. No such user (talk) 11:12, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

Venom (Marvel Comics character) → Venom (character) – Overwhelmingly the primary topic. The more I think the more I regret supporting the move to "(Marvel Comics character)" in 2018 (not to mention that there was hardly even consensus to move it there). I think it's clear at this point that the Marvel character is the primary topic for characters named "Venom"—no other characters named "Venom" have standalone Wikipedia articles. JOE BRO  64  20:15, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose: Per WP:INCOMPLETEDAB. Nothing would be accomplished by the partial disambiguation. —&#8288;&#8202;&#8288;BarrelProof (talk) 21:54, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
 * It's not an incomplete dab because the "Marvel Comics" part of the dab is unnecessary. This is the only notable character named "Venom" on WP, so there is no need to be as specific. JOE BRO  64  23:07, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Hmm. Maybe that was a bit of a knee-jerk reaction. Please consider my comment on hold. —&#8288;&#8202;&#8288;BarrelProof (talk) 05:12, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Following up, I'll stick with my oppose. There are four other characters on the dab page in the film and television category, one in a video game, and also a professional wrestling character. That's not including the comics character with different spelling and the video game character with a multi-word name. Some of those other characters have more than a passing mention in the corresponding Wikipedia articles. Disambiguation is about topics, not just article titles (e.g., "Hurricane" is not the name of a Wikipedia article, but it is still a topic to be considered for disambiguation purposes.) —&#8288;&#8202;&#8288;BarrelProof (talk) 21:23, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Support: This is the only character named Venom that has a Wikipedia article so this makes sense to me. This seems to be the primary topic for characters named Venom. Aoba47 (talk) 00:00, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Support: Makes sense as the primary topic. I was considering a move to Venom (Marvel Comics) but this fits. — ChannelSpider (talk) 15:30, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose - current title conforms to naming conventions, and proposed title intentionally introduces ambiguity. -- Netoholic @ 01:35, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Support. Disambiguation is about articles, not all topics whatsoever.  Looking at the disambiguation page, the odds of any of the current other entries ever having Wikipedia articles that pass the notability bar is very low.  SnowFire (talk) 20:49, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
 * The professional wrestling character has a Wikipedia article, and per WP:Disambiguation, disambiguation is about topics, not article titles. (e.g., "Hurricane" is not the name of a Wikipedia article, but it is still a topic to be considered for disambiguation purposes.) —&#8288;&#8202;&#8288;BarrelProof (talk) 01:03, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
 * A wrestler using the ring name "Venom" isn't really the same as a character, and it's not even mentioned in the wrestler's article... JOE BRO  64  01:05, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
 * True – I just looked at the wrestler article, and I agree that's pretty weak, although it was in the infobox. —&#8288;&#8202;&#8288;BarrelProof (talk) 01:10, 23 September 2021 (UTC)


 * I'm generally not a fan of partial disambiguation but if this is the only one that is notable and has an article perhaps like SONGDAB. The Guild and Rounin do have more than trivial mentions of the characters.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 17:47, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Support per nom. There's quite simply a lack of other notable characters named Venom. Lennart97 (talk) 13:34, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Support Venom as a character is mostly referred to as the Marvel character. It is anyways for a redirect and that too to the disambiguation page this should be merged with the 'Chracter' only article. WikiSilky (talk) 16:29, 2 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Oppose. Regardless if this Venom is the most popular Venom character or not, the proposed title is an incomplete disambiguation, since the nom isn't proposing moving this to Venom. As such (and per WP:INCDAB) the page should be fully disambiguated. Gonnym (talk) 20:13, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

This revert
IMO, A page of Spider-Man comic book history just sold for $3 million deserves a sentence in this article. "Reception" seemed as good as any existing section, though CNN doesn't clearly state that the high price was because (what became) Venom-origin.

Venom's first appearance listed incorrectly
LaVonte is indeed venom.. I don't mean to nitpick, but technically Venom's first appearance is the last two pages of The Amazing Spider-Man #299, not #300 as listed on Wikipedia. He is shown shadow (eyes, mouth, and white spider logo only) on the next to last page, and in full form on the last page which is full size, one panel. 108.4.26.123 (talk) 13:53, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

Fist appearance of venom is 298, first for the costume is secret wars 7, wiki is 0 in2
First appearance of venom is ASM 298, first costume is secret wars 7 2603:9000:CF16:EE00:E408:931:9959:E70D (talk) 03:24, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

Claim of romantic undertones between Venom and Brock is unsubstantiated and the citation is broken - should either be removed or substantiated
Referring to "with Venom and Brock's relationship seen as having romantic undertones, confirmed in 2017.[4]". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.30.4.78 (talk) 20:27, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
 * It has been removed. A 2008 citation can't verify what supposedly happened in 2017. Morbidthoughts (talk) 23:57, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Venom did first fully appear in The Amazing Spider-Man #300, instead Venom's first full appearance was #299 and his first cameo was #298, in 299 we see a full page of venom and he is very clearly viable, his fist cameo was issue 298 because we only see his shadow and hand smashing onto the table. But Venom's name and appearance was fully seen in #299, CGC, the most prestigious comic grading company lists Venom's first appearance as listed on Wikipedia, but with more in-depth research you can see that this is wrong and I hope Wikipedia acknowledges this as well.

 * As with Wolverine, the last page reveal is not considered to be the first "full" appearance by most fans, nor by reliable sources like CGC. The current article reflects this. Argento Surfer (talk) 12:44, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

WEB OF SPIDEY cameo
Should we list Venom’s cameo in Web of Spider-Man #18 as his first appearance (as Eddie Brock)? The black hand that pushes Spider-Man has been confirmed to be Venom’s. Chickenmonger (talk) 20:37, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
