- [Spider-Man] Your friendly
neighborhood Spider-Man here.
[10]
Things have been crazy lately.
[12]
Taking down all your not-so-friendly
neighborhood baddies,
[15]
plus studying at Horizon High,
[17]
and trying to have some
sort of social life.
[20]
What can I say?
[21]
A spider's work is never done.
[23]
But even though the team from Horizon
[25]
has yet to win the Stark Expo,
[26]
the Spidey life does have some perks.
[28]
Like meeting my all-time hero,
[31]
- [Announcer] Tony Stark!
[32]
(crowd cheering)
[36]
- [Spider-Man] Tony gave
me some great advice,
[38]
- Kid, never show up to the
first half of your own party.
[41]
- [Spider-Man] Okay, that
part's not relevant here.
[43]
But he also said to keep good records
[45]
of everything you've
learned to reference later.
[47]
I forget the exact words,
[49]
because I was kind of blown away
[50]
that the Tony Stark was talking to me.
[53]
So at the advice of my
good friend Iron Man,
[57]
I'm consolidating all my knowledge
[59]
about one of the biggest baddies ever.
[62]
I'm talking about the Venom symbiote.
[64]
Where it comes from, what we know about it,
[66]
and how to take it down.
[68]
And since sourcing your work
is important in science,
[71]
I'm relying on info
from Mr. Stark himself,
[73]
Horizon High headmaster Max Modell,
[75]
my own scientific observations,
[78]
and the Guardians of the Galaxy.
[81]
Who are they?
[82]
They're a rugged group of,
[84]
I guess it's fair to call them heroes?
[87]
Who frequently manage to save
the galaxy despite themselves.
[90]
Symbiotes have been inhabiting
the galaxy for ages.
[93]
Bonding with various aliens
[95]
to create symbiotic relationships.
[97]
At some point, Thanos came along.
[100]
Of course, Thanos was up to no good.
[103]
He experimented on his
own daughter, Gamora,
[105]
in an attempt to weaponize the symbiotes.
[107]
Testing symbiotes on his daughter
[109]
was a terrible thing to do.
[111]
But terrible things are kind
of, well, Thanos' thing.
[116]
Gamora escaped Thanos
[117]
and joined the Guardians of the Galaxy,
[119]
hoping her symbiote encounters
were far behind her.
[122]
But then the Guardians
came across symbiotes
[124]
on Groot's abandoned home planet.
[126]
Like, a whole army of them.
[128]
Turns out that was the site
of Thanos' awful experiments.
[132]
The Guardians were all like,
[133]
"We've gotta blow up this planet."
[134]
and Groot was like, "I am Groot."
[136]
'Cause—well—that's all he ever says, but,
[138]
but what he meant was,
[140]
that he agreed they had no choice
[141]
but to destroy his planet
to stop the symbiotes.
[145]
Even Peter Quill, who
jokes about everything,
[148]
couldn't come up with anything
funny to say about that.
[150]
Even though the planet was blown up,
[152]
a fragment of it, still
infested with symbiotes,
[155]
was shot into space.
[158]
Actually, this may be a great
time for a Science Sidebar.
[163]
What exactly are the scientific
properties of a symbiote?
[166]
It's lighter than plastic,
but stronger than steel.
[170]
It can take the form of anything.
[171]
And is almost indestructible.
[174]
Stay tuned for their
weaknesses, by the way.
[176]
Symbiotes also try to bond
[177]
with whatever they come in contact with,
[180]
or at least, most do anyway.
[182]
They can read their host's mind.
[183]
Learn, adapt, and even take
over the host completely.
[187]
And, as Miles learned the hard way,
[189]
- Venom doesn't trigger our Spider-Sense!
[191]
(Venom snarling)
[193]
- Ah, ugh!
[194]
Message received by all
the bones in my body.
[198]
Got all that?
[200]
Here's where I entered the picture.
[201]
Somehow, the Space Administration
[203]
had a sample of the symbiote.
[205]
How they got it is classified,
[206]
but if they had any idea
how dangerous it was,
[209]
they probably wouldn't have
donated it to a high school.
[212]
Even one with a super high-tech
lab like Horizon High.
[216]
The headmaster, Max Modell,
[217]
worked to stabilize the mystery substance,
[219]
which we called V-252,
[221]
hoping to add it to the
periodic table as a new element.
[224]
My friends and I helped him study it.
[226]
And yeah, it broke out.
[229]
Even without knowing that
symbiotes were all about chaos,
[231]
we probably should have
seen that one coming.
[234]
The symbiote could have
bonded with anyone.
[236]
But of course, it chose me.
[239]
There's that old Parker luck again.
[241]
When people saw the new
Spider-Man, they were concerned.
[245]
But at first, I loved being
bonded with the V-252.
[250]
You know what?
[251]
Now would be a good chance
for another Science Sidebar.
[254]
What were the symbiote’s
effects on me, Spider-Man,
[257]
when we bonded?
[258]
The symbiote morphed over my body.
[261]
I had unlimited organic webs.
[264]
I was faster and stronger.
[266]
And it changed my personality…
[268]
For the worse.
[270]
Becoming harder and harder
to control this rage.
[275]
So, except for the emo
part, all good, right?
[278]
But I started to suspect that
the V-252 was a living thing.
[282]
An alien life form!
[284]
And then, I couldn't get rid of it.
[287]
I finally got it off with
Norman Osborne's help,
[290]
if you can believe that,
[291]
and put it in a containment
unit for safekeeping.
[294]
Oh, and remember the
Guardians of the Galaxy?
[297]
Well, here's where our paths merge.
[299]
The Guardians received a
distress call from Ant-Man.
[302]
He and Iron Man were attacked by a symbiote
[305]
that was hiding in Thanos'
Sanctuary Asteroid.
[308]
You can imagine their surprise,
[309]
because the Avengers had
been studying the asteroid
[311]
for a while before the
symbiote made its appearance.
[315]
The Guardians tracked the
symbiote with their scanners
[318]
to a subway tunnel where they found me,
[321]
and the first time we
met, it didn't go so well.
[323]
But once we started working together
[325]
and discovered we had the same name,
[327]
we got along okay.
[328]
And we found something
none of us had seen before.
[331]
A red symbiote.
[334]
We didn't know much about it.
[335]
For instance, why wasn't it
trying to bond with any of us?
[339]
Well, that was because it
already had a host in mind.
[341]
And that host was Thanos.
[344]
He was all,
[345]
- This symbiote is merely a shell,
[347]
I will turn this entire city
[348]
into a symbiote army that I control.
[352]
Should you survive, you will
have the honor of joining them.
[356]
- [Spider-Man] Or something like that.
[358]
You get the idea.
[359]
It's just a very on-brand,
terrible Thanos plan.
[363]
To complete said terrible plan,
[364]
he had to track down the V-252,
[367]
which was still at Horizon High.
[369]
I couldn't let Thanos destroy a school,
[371]
especially my school, and
certainly not on taco day.
[375]
So, yeah, I ended up
bonding with the V-252 again
[378]
to keep it away from Thanos.
[380]
More accurately, I was forced
to bond with it by Rocket.
[384]
I guess it was the right thing to do,
[386]
but you really gotta let a guy make
these decisions on his own.
[389]
And the thing with symbiotes,
[391]
it's always a matter of who's in control.
[394]
This time the person controlling the V-252
[396]
was Thanos, with me attached!
[399]
Luckily, Rocket's also a science wiz
[402]
and figured out how to turn
the red symbiote into a solid,
[405]
get the V-252 off me, and capture Thanos.
[409]
So, work done right?
[411]
End of symbiote problem,
[412]
finished, finito, totally taken care of.
[416]
Except, of course not.
[417]
Remember what we're dealing with here.
[419]
See, the V-252 was still on Earth.
[422]
Not knowing it was alive,
[424]
Max was still working with it,
[426]
Thinking he could stabilize
it for the Stark Expo.
[428]
And I guess it was a good thing
the V-252 was still there,
[432]
because Ghost, a baddie
who can disable tech,
[435]
attacked Tony's Arc Reactor.
[437]
The symbiote was the only
non-tech thing at the expo,
[440]
so I might have bonded
with it just a little.
[445]
I know, I know, I should
have learned my lesson,
[448]
but when Tony Stark's life's
at stake, what are you gonna do?
[452]
After that, Tony,
[453]
who was alive thanks to
me just for the record,
[456]
decided the V-252 was best
kept at Avengers compound.
[460]
Before he left, he paid
me a little compliment.
[463]
“Mr. Parker, it was a
pleasure to meet you,
[466]
Max tells me
[467]
you're the most brilliant
and handsome scientist
[470]
he's ever met in his entire life ever,
[472]
and that Horizon High should
be renamed Peter Parker High.”
[476]
- Or something like that.
[477]
Some days, being me isn't so bad.
[481]
But of course, that's not
where the story ends.
[483]
The V-252 escaped the
Stark containment unit,
[486]
and I finally gave the
not-so-little guy a name.
[489]
From that wet, gnarly grin,
I'd say V stood for Venom.
[494]
Venom merged with Flash Thompson.
[496]
So the symbiote didn't have
much brain power to work with,
[498]
but he was strong.
[501]
You know what?
[502]
This might be a good time
for a final Science Sidebar:
[506]
How to defeat a symbiote.
[508]
They really hate being blasted
by heat or electricity,
[512]
like Thor's lightning.
[513]
“Feel the wrath of mine hammer!”
[515]
- I mean, who wouldn't?
[517]
But symbiotes react
particularly badly to it.
[520]
And then Max discovered that sound waves
[522]
disrupt the symbiote's structure,
[524]
So we could take him down.
[526]
But the Space Administration's tests
[528]
desensitized him to sonic attacks.
[530]
So we had to up the volume.
[533]
(air-horn blaring)
[539]
Class dismissed.
[542]
After I separated Venom from Flash,
[544]
the symbiote was safely contained
[545]
at the Space Administration.
[548]
Emphasis on “was.”
[550]
Note to self:
[551]
maybe invent some symbiote-proof glass
[553]
for next year's Stark Expo.
[554]
Anyway, it bonded
[556]
with my rival photographer
at the Bugle, Eddie Brock.
[558]
And this time, it wasn't
so easy to get them apart.
[561]
- [Venom] The fun has just begun, Parker.
[568]
- But Miles invented a blaster
[570]
using equipment from
the Space Administration
[572]
that put the symbiote in a coma state.
[575]
And it worked…
[577]
For a while, at least.
[579]
But Venom just won't leave me alone.
[583]
- The Spider is near!
[587]
- [Spider-Man] Obsessed much?
[589]
I was thinking I knew
how to defeat a symbiote.
[591]
Done it before, easy-peasy.
[594]
But this time, Venom had
something up his sleeve.
[597]
Or rather, nothing up his sleeve.
[599]
Because he upgraded to
no longer needing a host.
[603]
- What?
[603]
There's no host in there?
[606]
- They experiment, I evolve.
[610]
- [Spider-Man] I realized
I had to bond with Venom—
[612]
Yes, again—in order to
get overloaded with energy,
[615]
and get rid of him for good.
[617]
So I teamed up with some friends,
[620]
and we went a little Thor on him.
[621]
- One overload coming up, yah!
[625]
- Argh!
[626]
What?
[628]
Argh!
[632]
What is this? I will...
[639]
- [Spider-Man] So, that's
where things stand now.
[642]
Basically, the TL;DR version
is the symbiotes are dangerous,
[646]
and really really good
at making a break for it.
[649]
And Venom in particular has it out for me.
[652]
Pretty sure we haven't
seen the last of him.
[655]
Because if there's one thing I've learned,
[657]
it's that just when you think
your enemies are defeated,
[660]
they're already plotting a comeback.
[663]
(Venom growls)
[665]
(dramatic music)
