Eddie Brock’s Destiny Is To Become The Most Powerful Symbiote King

Eddie merges with the floating Venom hand, which reveals itself as the Eventuality aka an all-powerful, future version of Venom. The Eventuality is a living cluster of multiple Venoms and an omen of how powerful the Venom symbiote can become. This ultimate form is also the conduit for dark magic and can even affect space and time itself. It’s revealed that Eddie has always been destined to be tied with the Venom symbiote and that his destiny is to become a new god of symbiotes, the King in Black. More importantly, the Eventuality explains how Eddie is now the only man for this role.

Eddie’s path to becoming the true King in Black has been set thanks to his battle against Knull, the Symbiote God. Knull’s destiny as the former King in Black is described as a “straight line of failure,” as he becomes the King in Black, rises to destroy the world but is always defeated. While the title of the King in Black was made for Knull and was even once considered for Spider-Man, Eddie has been given the mantle after dethroning Knull as the former King in Black. This event forever changed the timeline with Eddie now destined to become not just a King, but also the Eventuality. As the Eventuality and King in Black, Eddie will continue to create new versions of Venom all across the timeline thanks to his godly power. As the new god of symbiotes and the master of his own timeline, Eddie Brock now embraces his role as the Eventuality, rebuilds his broken body and missing eye, and makes a new vow to change his own fate.

Eddie now has the ultimate power to change the past, present and future for his family and himself as the Eventuality. As Dylan continues his rampage as Venom, Eddie has very few options when it comes to protecting his family. His only course of action as the Eventuality is to fix his mistakes as the original Venom host. It’s time for Venom to reclaim his destiny and his family as the Eventuality, the strongest symbiote god of darkness and time.
