Venom

Set in Marvel's dystopian 2099 future, this incarnation of Venom exists in the world of Spider-Man Miguel O'Hara, sharing that era with characters like Kron Stone and Xina Kwan — a distinct symbiotic threat reimagined through the lens of tomorrow.

A creature of the far future rather than the familiar present, this Venom burst onto the scene in 1995's Spider-Man 2099 #35, courtesy of writer Peter David and artist Andrew Wildman — emerging from the bold, boundary-pushing era that reimagined Marvel's greatest icons through a dystopian tomorrow's lens. Sharing the page with Miguel O'Hara, Kron Stone, and Xina Kwan, this incarnation inhabits a richly distinct corner of the 2099 universe that rewards readers who love their Marvel lore with a futuristic twist. With appearances spanning nearly three decades and collected in the handsome Spider-Man 2099 Omnibus, this is a character that speaks to the enduring power of Peter David's visionary worldbuilding — and a genuinely compelling reason to dive deep into one of Marvel's most imaginative alternate timelines.
