Riot

Fresh out of Marvel's 2024 Venom War event, Riot burst onto the Modern Age scene in Venom War: Lethal Protectors #1, brought to life by writer Sabir Pirzada and artist Luca Maresca. This newcomer shares the page with a compelling mix of street-level and symbiote-adjacent characters — Puma, Phage, Dominic Fortune III, and others — suggesting they've been dropped into exactly the kind of chaotic, high-stakes corner of the Marvel Universe where things get dangerous fast. With only a handful of appearances so far, Riot is genuinely new territory, the kind of character that sharp-eyed readers love to get in on early before the rest of the world catches up.
