Ghost Rider (John Blaze)

John Blaze was a motorcycle daredevil who ended up signing his soul over to Satan to save his father (in the movie) or his adoptive father (in the comic). Satan tried to cheat John, but because he sold his soul out of love Satan lost his hold on Ghost Rider. However, the curse remained.

Venom (Marvel Comics)

Eddie Brock







Venom (Eddie Brock)

Eddie Brock was a photographer for J Jonah Jamison. However, after a series of problems, Eddie was fired from his job. Brock blamed Peter Parker for his many problems including his being fired. It was in a bell tower that Spider-Man was separated form the the Symbiote Venom, who then found Eddie Brock. Having been with Peter Parker, Venom knew everything about Parker and melding with Eddie Brock's hate for Parker, the union made the two a force to be reckoned with. Venom is one of Spider-Man's most ferocious enemies. Venom is invisible to Spider-Man's Spider Sense and he also knows Parker's areas of weakness, both emotionally and physically.

Spider-Man Black Symbiote (Marvel Comics)

Peter Parker






Spider-Man Black Symbiote (Peter Parker)

Most everyone knows how Peter Parker became Spider-Man. However, not everyone knows about the Symbiotes. "The Symbiote is a specific species of extraterrestrial organism and are sometimes referred to as "living costumes" because of the way the amorphous creatures envelope their hosts and can act as clothing or a costume" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbiote_%28comics%29). Peter Parker came in contact with the Symbiote known as Venom at which point his costume changed to black.
