When the trailer for Spiderman-2 was released, I got excited to see the tease of Venom. But it isn’t Eddie Brock who hosts Venom in this game. Who is Venom in Spiderman-2?
That is what I am going to discuss in this article. Be warned, there are spoilers ahead!
Venom’s Identity Explained
Initially, we all thought that Insomniac would bring back Eddie Brock, Peter’s rival at the Daily Bugle. But as Peter is not in the reporting gig in the game, I thought he might not be in it, and I was right. So, who is Venom in Spiderman-2, then?
To answer your question, Harry Osborn is Venom in Marvel’s Spiderman 2. You will get the first hint of Venom’s identity right at the game’s opening cutscene, where Norman Osborn shows Harry a symbiote trapped in his lab.
Harry is suffering from a fatal disease that can kill him in a year, and Norman wants to save his son with the healing capabilities of the symbiote.
The big reveal comes quite early when Peter has to save people Kraven’s hunters at the carnival. I will keep the spoilers to a minimum, but you can expect something amazing.
