Riot

Riot is one of five symbiote offspring forcibly spawned from Venom's alien costume during a Life Foundation experiment. Bonded to a human host, Riot is among the deadliest of the group, distinguished by its powerful, aggressive nature within the symbiote corner of the Marvel Universe.

Bursting onto the Marvel scene in 1996's Venom: Along Came a Spider #1 — courtesy of creators Larry Hama, Joe St. Pierre, and Tom Grindberg — Riot is a Copper/Modern Age creature born from the darkest corners of the symbiote corner of the Marvel Universe. This is a character who runs in genuinely dangerous company, sharing pages with the likes of Lasher, Phage, Agony, Carnage, and Spider-Man himself across titles like Venom and Extreme Carnage Omega. With a presence stretching across a remarkable 25 years from debut to 2021, Riot may not rack up hundreds of appearances, but every one of them lands in the thick of symbiote chaos — making this a must-know name for any serious collector spelunking through Marvel's most visceral era.
