Flash continued his search for the Symbiote and managed to learn that his former partner was with Eddie Brock who was at Alchemax. Whilst Eddie was there, Flash broke into the facility and attempted to convince Venom to rejoin with him leading to the Symbiote torn between the two hosts. Spider-Man arrived and believed the Symbiote was dangerous with him seeking to destroy it. He made use of Dr. Steve's astrobiological serum in an effort to kill Venom with the material being toxic to the Symbiote. Both Eddie and Flash were exposed to the serum with it bonding with Thompson turning him into the new Anti-Venom whilst Brock was severely weakened. (Amazing Spider-Man: Venom Inc. Alpha v1 #1) Weakened, Flash was able to take the Symbiote from Brock but was unable to hold onto Venom as Thompson's touch was now toxic to the organism due to having the powers of Anti-Venom. As such, he used a container to hold Venom and left Alchemax with the intention of somehow finding a way to re-bond with his former partner despite the warnings from Spider-Man.

Hosts
- Peter Parker :
- Eddie Brock :
- Mac Gargan :
- Flash Thompson :
- Lee Price : a dark haired male born in Queens, New York who witnessed his mother being constantly beaten up by his father and was himself brutally bullied as a child. He befriended a pyrokinetic Mutant boy who razed the apartment complex he lived in that accidently killed his mother. Lee was abandoned by his father and went into protective services for five years until he decided to become an Army Ranger. He suffered an injury from a mine explosion that took two fingers from his left hand leading to him being discharged.

He bonded to the Venom symbiote and brutalised it into following his commands despite its reluctance in becoming a villain. (Venom v3 #1)

Alternate Versions
In other media
Television
- In Spider-Man, Venom appeared in a number of episodes in the animated television series where it was voiced by actor Christopher Daniel Barnes
- In Spider-Man, the Venom Symbiote appeared in the animated television series starting in the episode "A Day in the Life" where it was discovered in a space expedition with it being designated as V-252. The substance was brought to Horizon Labs for study with Max Modell being unaware that it was a living organism. During study of it, Peter Parker bonded with it where it became his living costume when he operated as Spider-Man. It was discovered that the organism was making Spider-Man more aggressive and violent with him ultimately deciding to abandon using the suit after he learnt it was vulnerable to sonic attacks. It was later taken as Horizon's prize project at the Stark Expo where Spider-Man used it to help him in a fight against the Ghost but then had others help him in taking it off him. The V-252 was taken by Iron Man for safekeeping but a piece of it bonded to Flash Thompson where it remained in hiding. It eventually gained control over him when he was asleep where it transformed him into Venom that did not trigger Spider-Man's Spider-Sense. Venom would attack people that Flash was angry with leading to a number of confrontations with Spider-Man. The Symbiote later took over Thompson during his football game with Spider-Man separating Venom from the host but it bonded to others until the pair used fire extinguishers to freeze the organism. The remaining pieces of the Symbiote were taken by Max Modell to Horizon High for safekeeping.
