Nature Vs Nurture

Written by Kal-El

Everyone knows by now what a symbiote is or does, but what everyone might still wonder is how does it functions work, where is it from? or why we call it an alien. Well let's get to it.

A Symbiote is a living alien organism that usually bonds with our case it's mainly humans or other living organs such as maybe animals for that matter. Quite often its appearance looks as if it is a costume as shown in the movie Spider-Man 3. A Horrific living Alien "Costume" that searches for its host to bond with.

It is still an unknown fact where the symbiote alien comes from; it could be from a fragment of meteor or some kind. But it is known that their species have existed for millions of years prior to the arrival of the Venom symbiote on Earth.

Accordingly to the Mini series of comics "Planet of the Symbiotes", the symbiotes were made originally unfeeling, conquering race, taking over any species that they could come in contact with to feed off their internal emotions, such as Adrenaline rushes from such Death defying feats. However the Venom symbiote was different because it has it own desire to be attaching to a single host, and to have the desire to feel "belong" rather than to dominate.

The Venom Symbiote describes itself as a Mutation though it may just as likely be a unique one among its species. While the number of Symbiotes in existence at present is unknown, The Venom symbiote has describe that the Carnage is the 999 in his line which makes Carnage's offspring Toxin the thousandth. On a personality scale, the symbiotes seemed to have shown its strong unstable feats of violence, sometimes deceptions and big scale of criminal acts against humanity. It has also seemed that a symbiote's personality may be based on an amalgamation of the memories and thoughts that have been collected from the various hosts and is stored within it's generic symbiote memory, which explains how the Venom symbiote who once values a life to some degree has changed into a being who could take the lives of many even without a host to guide it's actions.

More confused hosts, like Brock, seem to result in different personalities: Venom claimed 'innocence should be cherished' and rescued victims he deemed innocent, including human infants. However, Brock's poor judgment has lead to him performing many criminal acts, including the murder of some apparently innocent people.How does a symbiote feels like? Well like it seems actually, sticky and kinda gooey, The symbiotes provokes a cool feeling as the plasmic ooze covers its hosts. It stimulates them, provides for them, and protects them by itself when the host is unconscious or unaware of a true symbiotic relationship.

They also feed off diseases fatal to humans, due to the type of energy or "adrenaline" it may produce; for example, the Venom symbiote was able to save Eddie Brock's life from cancer by feeding off it, since Eddie's cancer produced the exact type of adrenaline that the symbiote needs to survive. Symbiotes are capable of living independently of a host as all known symbiotes have, as they have at one time or another, left their hosts or been forced to be without their hosts for extended periods of time.

As a weakness, naturally it could be weakened by an intense sonics and intense heat like large fires. There has not been an invulnerable symbiote in mainstream continuity as even the newest breeds can still be harmed by incredible amounts of sonic waves and heat.
