Marvel completely rewrote the rules of the symbiotes, as the Poison
The war continues, redefining decades of tradition. As the apocalyptic Venom War progresses, alliances begin to shift as new enemies reveal themselves to be greater threats. In this rapidly changing series of events, father, son and symbiote have found perfect unity in their symbiotic trinity.
Poison War #4 – by Al Ewing and Iban Coello – is just the next step in the masterpiece that defines tradition which slowly found its footing near the end of this eventful conflict. What began as a complicated series of multiversal mayhem is now beginning to come to an end, changing everything readers know about the symbiotes.
While Eddie and Dylan Brock fought a war
who controls the Venom symbiote
Venom was left behind without a home or family. However, when given the opportunity, the symbiote chose both. Eddie, Dylan and the symbiote are Venom.
What the new trinity of Eddie, Dylan and Venom means for symbiote lore
The symbiotic family has been reunited
During the onslaught of the Venom War, Venom fled into the shadows horrified by his family’s actions. For Venom, Dylan and Eddie aren’t just hosts, they’re family. Eddie and Venom have been linked for decades, the two often sharing a single sense of identity. When Dylan was born, parts of the Venom codex, so deeply embedded in Eddie’s DNA, merged into the baby’s genetics. This resulted in a hybrid child who is both Venom’s and Eddie’s. Throughout the trials of war, Venom felt left out,

to a temporary home.
However, as it turns out that the Venom War is a proxy war between
Doctor Doom and Kang the Conqueror
Eddie, Dylan and Venom have finally reunited. Just as the three felt their family was coming together again, Doom’s machinations fatally cost Eddie Brock his life. As he lay bleeding, Dylan crying over his father’s dying body, Spider-Man told Venom it was time to choose your host. When faced with an impossible decision, Venom chose both. When a prophecy predicted that a parent or child would destroy the world with Venom, the symbiote chose its own destiny: family.
Our Take on the Future of Marvel’s New (Golden?) Venom Triad
The Venom War Finale Is Changing the Game and Tying Up Loose Ends
Together, the trio is in perfect unity. Both hosts’ hearts beat as one. All three minds are linked by instinct. The parents are reunited with their son. A family is together again and all the rules have changed.
Symbiotic Drones and Offshoots
are not a new concept. Grendal has numerous branches that were not considered “creations”. Carnage commanded entire armies of symbiotes infected with his genetic structure. The Kings in Black can exert their will on any symbiote in space and time. But never has a single symbiote created a simultaneous conscious link between two hostsmuch less a perfect one.
This feat could not have been accomplished by any other character besides the three Venoms. Each of your genetic codes and symbiotic codes left behind almost identical brands that connect them inside the Symbiote Hive. Eddie Brock is Venom. Venom is Dylan Brock. Dylan Brock is Eddie Brock. As Marvel prepares to
present an entirely new poison
In the future, it is even more difficult to say what the fate of this trio will be. Al Ewing has taken some dramatic steps to tie up years of symbiotic loose ends, but regardless of where their story goes, together they are Poison.
Poison War #4 will be available on November 6, 2024 from Marvel Comics.
