Dying of cancer Eddie Brock decides to auction for charity to the highest bidder the alien symbiote from which he derives his powers as Venom.
After being purchased by New York mobster Don Fortunato to be used by his son Angelo - the alien symbiote abandoned its new host leaving him to fall to his death after a short and murderous career.
Seeking a new host that shared both its hatred of Spider-Man as well as the will and experience of a seasoned criminal the symbiote offered itself to Mac Gargan, then known as the Scorpion, transforming him into the latest Venom.
