Eddie Brock Jr.

Debuting in 1997's Spider-Man / Badrock #1A — a Marvel crossover brought to life by Dan Jurgens, Marat Mychaels, and Rob Liefeld — Eddie Brock Jr. is a Modern Age figure whose story unfolds most fully across the pages of Ultimate Spider-Man, where he shares the spotlight with some of Marvel's most iconic names: Spider-Man, Peter Parker, Mary Jane Watson, Gwen Stacy, and Venom himself. His presence in the Official Handbook of the Ultimate Marvel Universe 2005 signals that he earned genuine canonical recognition within that reimagined corner of the Marvel universe. With 33 catalogued appearances spanning over a decade through 2011, he's a character whose footprint rewards the curious reader willing to dig into the Ultimate line's rich, character-dense world.
