Venom is the name of a drug that features in DC Comics.

History

The Batman Beyond episode "The Winning Edge" set in 2030 reveals that Bane's constant reliance on Venom crippled his body leaving him forced to get care. As his mind degraded, he revealed to his carer Jackson Chappell the Venom formula and he began using it to sell the steroid as a slapper drug to teenagers and atheletes until stopped by Terry McGinnis.
In Young Justice, it features in the episode "Drop-Zone" where its being produced on Santa Prisca island under the direction of Bane. However, the operation is taken over by the Kobra Cult who mixed it with the Blockbuster formula to create a more dangerous and permanent drug called Kobra-Venom This was with the purpose of selling the super steroid to the Light's agent, Sportsmaster but the deal was interrupted by the Young Justice Team.

In the 1997 Batman & Robin film, Venom is shown to be based on snake venom injected into plants by Pamela Isley in order to imbue the flora with defensive traits similar to those in animals. Samples were stolen by her colleague Dr. Jason Woodrue who used it to create the Venom drug that would be used to create a supersoldier army with Bane as the prototype. Venom was partly responsible for the transformation of Isley into her villainous persona of Poison Ivy.

In Batman: Arkham Asylum, a much altered version of Venom called Titan that was a formula engineered by Dr. Penelope Young. Its purpose was to imbue greater strength in prisoners at Arkham Asylum to allow them to survive the stress treatments. When the Joker learnt of it, he secretly funded Dr. Young's experiments under the alias as Jack White and saw Bane transferred to Arkham where Venom was drained from his blood for the Titan project.
In DC Universe Online, Venom was described as a meta-steroid that increased strength but ravaged the body and was noted for an awful smell. Bane's gang trafficked in the spread of Venom in Gotham City where numerous criminals had use of injectors to increase their strength. A new supply of Venom was said to had been created and that Bane himself after being off the drug had resumed using it.
