She could have turned to Mary Jane Watson of course, but she has her own concerns. Like landing acting gigs based solely on her surname.

So while Mary Jane Watson lives out her life as Venom…

It's left to the Invisible Woman to help out the Black Cat. It's Spider-Man who is keeping them together.

No, the Human Torch never helps anything. And Mary Jane takes on yet another disguise to avoid the growing hatred of the symbioteness around town.

However, given that Venom, indeed Iron Venom, is significantly larger than Mary Jane, there has always been some debate regarding her exact location within the entire symbiote mass. Well, it turns out, not in the head bit.

But what is a hero? The Black Cat has saved New York before. But only because if she broke it, she bought it…

But sometimes it's all about the look.

Rick Jones and Toxin are giving us a Golden Age superhero…
