Why Venom has wings in Marvel Comics Marvel ComicsVenom has a host of bizarre and horrifying powers, but the most impressive has to be his massive wings. Here\u2019s how he got them. With the release of Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man 2, fans are discovering the fearsome power of Venom all over again. The symbiote powerhouse is a nightmarish addition to the story and provides some of the most memorable boss encounters in the game. Still, the game barely scratches the surface of Venom\u2019s wild story. The character, debuting all the way back in 1984\u2019s Amazing Spider-Man #300, has undergone several notable changes. Though he started as a rampaging villain, Venom has worn many hats over the years. He\u2019s been a lethal protector, an alien space knight, and even a government agent. But one change in recent years speaks to one of his biggest stories, wherein Venom became a symbiote god. Note, spoilers for Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man 2 to follow. Venom\u2019s wings in Marvel Comics explained The 2018 run of Venom served as a set-up for the story King in Black, wherein the symbiote god Knull set a path to Earth. In the encounter with Knull, the Venom symbiote was changed, gaining access to new powers. The Venom symbiote was able to alter Eddie Brock\u2019s chemistry to calm him down and exhibited new shapeshifting abilities. He also was able to grow a pair of massive batwings, enabling him to fly and glide. Following the King in Black event, with Knull defeated and Eddie taking his role as the titular King in Black, the wings would manifest again. This time, however, all symbiotes were shown being able to sprout wings, a symbol of their enhanced power now that they are from Knull\u2019s grasp. Does Venom have wings in Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man 2? Venom does have a pair of wings in Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man 2, though they don\u2019t have the same narrative resonance as King in Black. He grows the wings in the middle of the game\u2019s climactic boss fight between Peter and Venom. During the fight, Peter tries to distract Venom while Miles and MJ steal the symbiote meteorite. Venom catches on, though, sensing the meteorite being stolen. He scoops Peter up and grows a pair of massive bat wings, flying to the EMF building. While the wings are a fun call back to King in Black and Venom\u2019s final power in that story, they\u2019re not treated as a story upgrade here. Though Venom does use the wings during the boss fight with Miles, they come across more like just the next ability in his arsenal rather than some grand power-up he earned.
