for Eddie Brock in Marvel Television's Venom: Lethal Protector

As New York attempts to heal the wounds left by Avengers: Secret Wars, Peter Parker rejects the black symbiote suit; the sentient symbiote then latches onto another Eddie Brock variant (Tom Hardy), ripping the fragile peace of Eddie’s wife Annie (Michelle Williams) and son Dylan (Roman Griffin Davis) apart. The neighborhood grocer Kimi Schafer’s wry humanity, Annie’s fierce protectiveness, and Wanda Maximoff’s (Elizabeth Olsen) mystical mentorship push Eddie into a dilemma that is at once deeply human and cosmically fraught. Wilson Fisk and Carlton Drake move to exploit symbiotic energy as both propaganda and weapon, and Drake’s experiments with a Riot V2 variant leak Knull’s low-frequency echoes into the city; during a skirmish, a fragment of the symbiote infects Dylan, and Teen-Venom is born — a new guardian who bonds with the family’s darkness and learns with frightening speed. The stakes rapidly escalate as hives and swarms of Grendels and Xenophages spill into the streets; Fisk’s media machine attempts to cast the Brock family as “alien terrorists,” while Wanda makes a tremendous psychic sacrifice to cleanse Teen-Venom of Knull’s influence. The uneasy new father-and-son balance between Eddie and Teen-Venom coalesces into Venom’s role as protector even as Riot V2 and Fisk’s schemes are exposed; in the climactic battle beneath a blood-red sky, New York is saved, but the burning sigil of Knull in the heavens whispers that this victory is only temporary.
