Major Connective Tissue in Avengers #27 and Venom #20 Today (Major Spoilers)

Ah, the love that dare not shut up, between Donny Cates and Jason Aaron. But it seems that Jonathan Hickman has been drawn into the threesome. Major spoilers for today's Venom #20 and Avengers #27 below, you have been warned.

The Biggest, Baddest Spoilers for The Walking Dead #192

The Ultimate iteration of Venom was created by Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley in Ultimate Spider-Man #33. In this version, Eddie Brock Jr. is Peter Parker's childhood friend and the Venom symbiote is not extraterrestrial but is the second stage of a genetically created "suit" designed by Richard Parker  and Eddie Brock Sr  as a cure for cancer meant to bond to the user and protect them from internal and external harm. The suit is tailored for a specific DNA, and the person to whom it belongs can control the suit more easily. If, however, someone uses a suit designed for somebody else, they are constantly damaged by the suit which requires nourishment, gained by feeding on organic flesh, to function. If bonded to an incompatible host the Venom suit begins consuming them almost immediately, forcing them to feed on others to sustain it or die themselves. When taking a host, the organic matter that comprises the suit completely envelops the host, regardless of resistance, temporarily blinding it, before encasing itself in a hard, purple casing, similar to a pupa, as it bonds further with the host. When the host emerges, the suit then shifts its appearance and function to assist its host, such as creating eyes for it to see through, or tries to take it over, inducing a homicidal rage and attempting to feed itself if bonded with an incompatible host. When bonded with a host and forcibly removed, the Venom suit leaves trace amounts of itself in their bloodstream, which attracts other samples of Venom to itself, and can overload Spider-Man;'s spider-sense. Venom's only known weakness is electricity, and larger amounts of the suit will need more electricity to kill, as varying amounts of the suit will be stunned or vaporized by electric shocks.
