The Venom Symbiote

The Venom Sybiote, one of the Spider-People's most dangerous enemies, this black organic biomass parasite requires a host to survive, and is obsessed with making the resident Spider-Person exactly that. it can amplify it's host's physical ability greatly, as well as regenerate entire bodyparts and replicate most of the Spider-Person's abilities. The Venom symbiote is hard to control, but it is possible. it's one weakness is noise and electricity. it has a taste for a special protien in the human brain matter, but it just so happens that Chocolate has that very same protien. If you ever encounter this being, either figure out how to work with it, find a way to get rid of it, or die trying.
