Hang onto your hats Top 10 Nerd fans we have a history lesson for you and it may change
everything you think you know.
Also before we get started if youre interested in checking out the new Venom #4 Im giving
you a spoiler alert right now.
You have been warned.
With that, lets get started shall we.
With the release of Venom #4 we finally have the long secret origin story of the symbiotes.
The symbiotes were created as living weapons by Knull also known as the God of the Symbiotes.
In the original origin story we knew the symbiotes to be a race called the Klyntar who were a
peaceful race that saw the birth of the Venom symbiote who enters into a bloodthirsty rage
while away from his home planet.
That is until the symbiote was cured by one Brian Michael Bendis in the Guardians of the
Galaxy series.
Even though this history was a staple throughout time it doesnt eliminate the backstory more
so reveals that the history of the symbiotes is much deeper than we realized.
In the new Venom comic book Eddie Brock and is told of the origin of his species by Knull.
In the beginning there was nothing, but soon the celestials were born bringing life and
creation into the universe for the first time.
This angered Knull because the big bang woke him up like a really annoying alarm clock
and like me on a Saturday, he quite enjoyed the original state of his world being that
of darkness and abyss.
To counteract these new gods, Knull created the symbiotes in the form of a living sword,
that he then used to decapitate a few of the celestials.
I would have just pulled the sheets over my head, but to each their own.
I guess thats why Im not god of the symbiotes.
The sword was called the Necrosword or the all-black.
This sword was forged within one of the severed celestials heads which is just gnarly to think
about.
Within the head he created the sword using the heads inner fires.
The birth of this symbiote sword is also what gave birth to the symbiotes biggest weaknesses,
fire and sound.
The sword was also a gift given to Gorr The God Butcher that he used to go on his killing
spree.
Little fun fact for ya.
The first generation of symbiotes came from Knulls defeat when he realized that he could
shape his darkness into what he referred to as, lesser creatures.
Using his hive mind he could control them and become a god in his own right.
These lesser creatures were actually freed from Knull and his dark control when Thor
attacked the God of the symbiotes with Odinsons lightning.
Following this attack the parasites that are symbiotes began bonding with hosts and consuming
their personalities and memories.
This created a vacuum of power where the symbiotes would then begin their own civilization on
a world they called Klyntar which is actually an ancient symbiote word for cage.
What we didnt know is that Knull had been held captive as a prisoner on this planet.
After realizing they didnt need him as a god to survive, they put him right in the klyntar.
With the reveal of what Klyntar actually means this sparks a whole new perspective on the
symbiotes and their origin story.
With Knull now planning to escape and destroy all that is light in the universe starting
of course with Earth.
Yikes.
That has been The History of The Symbiotes.
Bearing in mind it is the history as we now know it.
