Venom's Symbiote Transformation Gets Jaw-Dropping Marvel Fan Art

Eddie Brock becomes Venom in a stunning piece of Marvel Comics fan art that shows the horrifying symbiote transformation he endures while shifting to and from the antihero. On Reddit, artist nimo5877 shared their take on the Spider-Man-related character making his iconic evolution from human into a symbiote monster, as the image illustrates the grotesque makeover Eddie Brock undergoes to gain his more sinister form - tendrils included.

In the pages of Marvel Comics, Eddie Brock, created by David Michelinie and Todd McFarlane, first debuted as a rival photographer of Peter Parker. However, after being fired from the Daily Globe and having his life fall apart right in front of his eyes, Brock attempted to kill himself but ended up coming in contact with the symbiote Spider-Man brought back to Earth following the events of Secret Wars. Brock bonded with the symbiote and became the villain Venom, quickly rising among one of Spider-Man's biggest foes. However, Brock and Venom later morphed into a more heroic team, who would fight alongside the web-slinger while serving as the primary antagonist in the King in Black event. Venom has made multiple live-action appearances, most notably in his solo films, where Tom Hardy plays him.

On their Reddit account, artist and illustrator nimo5877 shared their take on Eddie Brock and Venom's symbiote transformation. The image features a stoic and seemingly at peace Brock closing his eyes as the Venom symbiote forms around him. Venom's disgusting teeth and tendrils are a sharp juxtaposition to Brock's calmness in becoming Venom. The art takes a snapshot of the antihero mid-transformation as he's not quite human, but not quite overcome by his symbiote. It's a fascinating perspective.

The fantastic Marvel Comics fan art shows the duality of the hero. Eddie Brock's human side and Venom's horrifying form create one of the most unique antiheroes in comics. Over time, he has slowly learned how to master living a life using both forms - but that doesn't make his transformation any less disturbing. The symbiote's existence is captivating yet creepy, which is a good descriptor for Venom's overall look.

There are several different ways artists have illustrated Eddie Brock becoming Venom. It's a metamorphosis that has been tackled in many art styles, with the symbiote taking over Brock in many uniquely frightening ways. With the Marvel Comics fan art by nimo5877 managed to show both sides of the chaos that is Venom in a piece that shows the horrifying beauty behind his transformation.

CBS' Ghosts: Every Main Ghost Time Period & Backstory Explained

One of CBS' newest sitcoms,  Ghosts , features a cast full of spectral characters that each hail from a distinct time period and come with their own unique backstory and death. Though each of the eight ghosts has a wildly different perspective based on their different experiences throughout history, they nonetheless form a sort of family, which is one of the show's greatest charms. After all, being stuck with the same people for all of eternity allows for plenty of time to get to know each other. Ghosts , which is an adaptation of a BBC show of the same name, stars Utkarsh Ambudkar and Rose McIver (who played Liv Moore on five seasons of  iZombie ) as Jay and Sam, a young couple who inherit a mansion in upstate New York. To their surprise, however, the house also comes with several ghostly inhabitants, who Sam is able to see after a near-death experience. These are Thorfinn (Devan Long), Sasappis (Román Zaragoza), Isaac (Brandon Scott Jones), Hetty (Rebecca Wisocky...

The Hateful Eight's Original Ending Explained (& Why Tarantino Changed It)

The Hateful Eight has an ending full of blood and betrayal, as expected from any Quentin Tarantino movie, but this wasn’t the original ending – here’s why he changed it. Tarantino has explored different genres throughout his career; though he’s best known for his crime movies like Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction , he's also visited genres like martial arts (with both Kill Bill  films) and black comedy ( Once Upon a Time in Hollywood ). In addition, he's shared his version of westerns with Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight , with the latter going through some problems and creative changes even before it began shooting. Set in 1870, Tarantino's The  Hateful Eight follows eight strangers, all with different (and secret) motivations, who end up in a stagecoach lodge after seeking refuge from a blizzard. These characters are Major Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson), John “The Hangman” Ruth (Kurt Russell), Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh), Chris Mannix (Walton Gog...

Why Spider-Man 3's Uncle Ben Retcon Doesn't Change Peter's Origin

Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 is often criticized for a major retcon made to Uncle Ben’s death , but this retcon ultimately doesn’t change Peter Parker’s classic origin story. Raimi’s third film in the iconic Spider-Man trilogy is often criticized, perhaps unfairly. While the film suffers from too many character arcs and plot threads and would have been better as two or three separate films, it does a more than adequate job adapting the Spider-Man comics and telling a sincere story about relatable, flawed, characters who are intertwined with the extraordinary, just as Stan Lee and Steve Ditko intended when co-creating the character. Uncle Ben’s retconned death may alter classic elements from the comic version, but it retains its most important aspects in regards to Peter’s characterization. 2002’s Spider-Man is, for much of the film’s first half, a faithful adaptation of Spider-Man’s 1962 origin story in issue 15 of the Amazing Fantasy comics. An awkward social pariah, Pete...
