Edward "Eddie" Brock is a journalist, former investigative reporter, and the former host of the symbiote known as Venom. Prying and inquisitive, Brock's impertinence got him and his ex-fiancée, Anne Weying, fired after confronting Life Foundation CEO Carlton Drake for his illegal experiments.With the battle won and his career revitalized, Brock decided to remain bonded with the symbiote, operating in San Francisco as Venom. Over the next year and a half, Brock became heavily involved in the case of convicted serial killer Cletus Kasady, interviewing him at the behest of Detective Patrick Mulligan. After Venom attacked Kasady on his cell, the symbiote and Brock separated, but were forced to bond again after Kasady acquired his own symbiote from a portion of Brock's blood, allowing him to break out of prison and go on a rampage. After killing Kasady and Carnage, Eddie and Venom made amends and went into hiding as fugitives.At some point, he met Anne Weying, who would become his fiancée. During that time, he also got a job as a reporter at the Daily Globe.Six months later, Brock was now broke and struggling to find work. Brock walked into a convenient store where Brock banters with Mrs. Chen, well buying some food, a man walked inside the store and told her that if she did not have her money ready, she would die. After the robber left the store, Brock buys the food he needs and feels sorry for what Chen is going through.
