Scream

One of five symbiotes forcibly spawned from the Venom symbiote by the Life Foundation, Scream bonded with Life Foundation security guard Donna Diego, who was chosen as a test subject to create super-powered protectors for the organization's wealthy clients.

Born from the fertile creative partnership of David Michelinie and Mark Bagley, Scream burst onto the Marvel scene in 1993's Venom: Lethal Protector — a collector's gem in its Gold Edition pressing — and has haunted the symbiote corner of the Marvel Universe ever since. A true child of the Copper/Modern Age, this character has proven surprisingly durable, with appearances stretching across three decades and a footprint in essential collections like Venom: Separation Anxiety and the Venom Epic Collection. Scream shares the page with some of Marvel's most compelling figures — Venom, Spider-Man, Eddie Brock, and Peter Parker among them — which tells you exactly how deep into the symbiote mythos this character runs. With a key issue to their name and a legacy that's still being written as of 2025, Scream is well worth seeking out for any fan who loves their Marvel dark, strange, and gloriously weird.
