An alien symbiote from Battleworld found Spider-Man as a human host and then latched to Eddie Brock and became the most wicked of web-slingers; Venom!
The alien symbiote that bonds with a host and grant them superhuman abilities is an extraterrestrial species known as Klyntar came from Planet of the Symbiotes from a remote sector of Andromeda Galaxy. It's very first host tried to unleash a genocide using its power and it horrified them as one of Agents of the Cosmos.
Later, alien arms-dealer Haze Mancer would capture it in an attempt to weaponize by increasing aggression within it but Klyntar managed to escape from his grasp. Then Symbiote Imperium had it contained in a prison fearing contamination of gene pool that would eventually make way to Beyonder's Secret Wars.
Deadpool's Secret Secret Wars
It first came in contact with freelance mercenary Deadpool, whose time in Battleworld is forgotten to everyone. After he wore it for a brief time, Wade Wilson realizes the suit being alive and then left it believing his own insanity might affect the mind of this sentient alien being before Spider-Man came in for a costume change.
As he was trying to repair his own suit, the symbiote covered his entire body by forming a new black and white costume similar to the one previously worn by the second Spider-Woman Julia Carpenter. He also discovered soon that his new suit is capable of generating clothes for him as well as much stronger webbing.
Saga of Alien Costume
Back on Earth, Spidey realized after a while that his new costume is a sentient "Friend" from outer space and even causing him to act aggressively as it was affecting his emotions. When he approached the Fantastic Four regarding this growing issue, Reed Richards informed him that it wishes to bond with him permanently.
Learning its vulnerability to both sound and flame helped them removing it from Spidey using powerful sonic waves. It escaped and hid into his closet by disguising as his regular red and blue costume. Peter then permanently got rid of it on bell tower of Our Lady of Saints Church after the symbiote forcibly tried to bond with him again.
Deadpool: Back in Black
This act of rejection however develops a natural bitterness in it which is also passed into the symbiote’s future hosts. While Peter thought he finally destroyed it, through floor cracks Klyntar escapes and took time recovering. When attacked by alien bounty hunters Killer Thrill, Guzz, and Coldwar, it sought out Deadpool to bond with him again.
This trio of villains was hired by an Elder of the Universe named The Collector to bring the symbiote to him. Though merging with Wade Wilson saved it from being captured by those aliens, they were emotionally incompatible to co-exist and Klyntar had to leave him to go to the church it came from and prey on its next host.
Birth of a Monster
Reporter Eddie Brock was suffering with serious health issues which caused him severe anxiety. As one of his front-page exclusives on Sin-Eater blows up on his face, he got fired. Because of Spider-Man apprehending the villain and revealing what Brock insisted on was wrong, he lost his job at Daily Globe and blindly starts blaming the hero.
After a few failed suicide attempts, he starts visiting Our Lady of Saints Church regularly to ask for forgiveness from God and came in contact with the alien symbiote. It soon merges with him and took the name Venom, thus a new villain for Spider-Man was born.
His intense rage and hatred towards Spidey for troubling hm helped Klyntar bond with him on both mental and physical level. In fact, all that anger actually corrupted the being, which become ever more ferocious and bloodthirsty than it already was. Although the symbiote had a desire to bond with Peter again, he now wants to kill him instead.
It took only a while for Brock to figure out that he now possess all of Spider-Man's incredible powers and because of his already intimidating physical frame, it became more powerful than ever. Merging with his alien costume also grants him extensive knowledge on his sworn enemy as well as his precious secret identity.
Upon bonding together, Venom often referred to them as "we" noting they are two different beings becoming one. It kept Eddie alive from adrenal cancer which he was previously diagnosed with before running into all these and had a little time to live. This suit could also cancel out Spider-Man's unique spider-sense to sneak attack on him.
Birth of Venom
After taunting Spidey a couple of times, Brock decided to pay a visit to Peter's wife, Mary Jane Watson, who was terrified as a result even though she didn't harm her physically. Parker then confronted Venom with a sonic blaster from Fantastic Four but discovered Eddie has completely bonded with it after subduing his enemy.
Though Peter decided to stop using the weapon on Brock thinking it can kill him, when it caught him off guard, Venom took him to the church bell and webbed him up. With struggle, he came out of his captivity and force Venom to exhaust his webbing to a point where he couldn't regenerate more mass, leading it to be captured in a sonic containment cell.
Lethal Protector
Giving up on chasing Spider-Man and wanting to help people, Eddie Brock moves to San Francisco. He got into a fight with men sent from developer Roland Treece when trying to protect a group of homeless people who welcomed him. In their underground abode, he even tackled two exo-suit Diggers sent by Treece International.
He is soon hounded out by Orwell Taylor and group of hired mercinaries that call themselves "The Jury" for killing his son Hugh Taylor earlier while escaping Vault. He made a deal with Treece to save his skin but got tricked into getting captured.
In a secret compound of Life Foundation, their leader Carlton Drake forced him into spawning five more symbiote offspring Agony, Lasher, Phage, Riot and Scream. Spider-Man came looking for Eddie and together they manage to fend off children of Venom. Brock then heads back to California to save his underground friends from Treece.
New Ways to Die
When Norman Osborn called in his Thunderbolts team to New York, they came to stalk Spider-Man and they started with questioning Peter Parker about his bug-buddy but got nothing from him. Looking for his enemy over the city, Gargan eventually ended up at F.E.A.S.T. Center and then stumbled onto Eddie Brock, former host of the symbiote.
The symbiote tries to merge with Brock once again and he retaliated by turning into Anti-Venom. Gargan and his suit are literally crushed by their reverse counterpart and even "cured" him by completely draining him off. Osborn however, managed to restore his suit back and made him a poisonous counter using the immune system of Freak.
These two have a rematch and Gargan stung Brock with the poison that nearly killed Anti-Venom but his suit still refused to kill Eddie. This gave the white substance time to recover and it strikes back to destroy the Scorpion suit. When Osborn initiated a self-destruct sequence, they had to postpone the fight and leave to settle this some other day.
Red Goblin
When Norman Osborn bonded to Carnage symbiote and become Red Goblin, he savagely beat Spidey down before leaving him with a warning to go after his loved ones if he doesn't stop playing hero. Meanwhile, Venom showed up at Stark Tower to protect Mary Jane after J. Jonah Jameson tipped off Eddie Brock but only to spook her unwittingly.
Brock did his best to hold Red Goblin off until Spider-Man arrived and they overpowered the maniac but he managed to hurt MJ before leaving. As he tries to follow Osborn, Eddie lends his suit to fight the hybrid Goblin and even though hesitant, Spidey wore the black costume once again to defeat his worst enemy wrapped in another symbiote.
First off, he saved Liz Allan from falling off and then drove Osborn away from Harry and Liz. When Osborn electrocutes Flash Thompson as Anti-Venom for ruining his secret plan, Peter screams in rage and become Spider-Venom but Flash urges him to calm down. Before his final fight with Goblin, he drops the suit and tells it to return to Eddie.
Rex
Eddie starts having recurring nightmares from Viking Age of a monster and turns out his symbiote was the one having these bad dreams. When trying to take photos of Jack O'Lantern doing an arms deal, he lost control of the suit as it has gone berserk and starts speaking an alien language before being captured by a man named Rex Strickland.
Rex was a member of a Sym-Soldier Program that S.H.I.E.L.D. employed during Vietnam War and asks Venom to help him liberate his comrades. Though reluctant at first, Brock agrees to help him to get answers for his recent nightmares. However, his suit abandons him when he faced the Sym-Soldiers and got impaled in chest by one of them.
A symbiote-dragon called Grendel is awakened that threatens the city and he goes to confront it alone but is attacked by Spider-Man, Miles Morales. Miles mistakes him for the Venom that killed his mother but Eddie manages to convince him otherwise and these two web-slingers team-up to take down the dragon-like creature with Miles' Venom Blast.
Within the beast emerges a pale entity who introduces him as Knull, God of the Symbiotes. He is looking for a missing piece of Grendel to be free from his imprisonment on the other side of cosmos. Upon contacting Knull, Venom unlocked new abilities and confronts Rex, the missing symbiote of Grendel, Tyrannosaurus posing as his original host.
Knowing none of them could single-handedly beat Knull's avatar, they bonded together and faces the symbiote-dragon with an arsenal of high-tech weapons. They connect to the Klyntar hive mind to call Grendel for a final battle and Tyrannosaurus sacrifices itself to kill the beast using a blast furnace while Venom also died off that heat.

Immense popularity of Venom brought him into many animated adaptation of Spider-Man TV Series and games for decades. He also made a live-action appearance on 2007 live-action film Spider-Man 3, played by actor Topher Grace (Interstellar, Predators) but due to poor character development and bad use of CGI, it was heavily criticized.
