Venom by Rick Remender - Summary
Flash Thompson's journey from Spider-Man superfan to military hero takes a dark turn when he accepts a government offer to bond with the alien Venom symbiote. As a decorated war veteran who lost his legs in combat, Flash sees this as an opportunity to continue serving his country as a special operative. However, his noble intentions become complicated as he struggles to maintain control over the powerful symbiote while facing threats from both the sinister Crime-Master and his personal nemesis, Jack O'Lantern, who forces him into an impossible position through blackmail.

The ongoing battle between Flash's consciousness and the Venom symbiote's influence represents the classic struggle between maintaining one's identity while wielding great power, reflecting deeper themes of addiction and self-control.

Flash's transformation from Spider-Man's biggest fan to a complex anti-hero demonstrates how personal growth can emerge from challenging circumstances, even when faced with moral compromises and difficult choices.
FAQ's
This version presents Venom as a government-controlled operative rather than a villain or vigilante, with Flash Thompson providing a military perspective and strategic approach to using the symbiote's powers.
