Virus

A sinister newcomer to Marvel's symbiote-soaked corner of the universe, Virus crashed onto the scene in 2020, born from the Modern Age imagination of writer Donny Cates and artists Iban Coello and Juan Gedeon during one of the most celebrated runs in Venom history. With only a handful of catalog appearances, Virus is a rare and enigmatic presence — the kind of character whose scarcity only sharpens the intrigue — sharing pages with heavy hitters like Eddie Brock, Dylan Brock, and Mac Gargan. If you're diving deep into the Cates era of Venom, this is exactly the sort of dark discovery that makes collecting so thrilling.
