[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 2360067, member: 8461"] I just bought and read New Avengers #1 and #2 today (thanks stevelabny!)...so that's why they said his suit was vampiric. Do you know what issues the whole "death and faux symbiote" thing are in? I want to get those. (For that matter, what were the issues where Carnage got the Silver Surfer's powers?) This hasn't been true in a very long time. Even way back in Venom: Lethal Protector they showed that Eddie can have his symbiote removed from him. Unlike Carnage's, it's purely an external covering, their bond is psychic, dependant on physical contact. People can (and have) removed the symbiote, which causes mental trauma for both of them, but no permanent damage. That series was good, but as far as I know ended with a somewhat-dangling plot thread. What had happened was that a piece of Venom's symbiote had severed, and this guy named Bob, who turned out to be some sort of extremely high-ranking member of S.H.I.E.L.D. (much higher than Nick Fury) was studying it, and deliberately released it into civilization once the severed piece regenerated into a full symbiote. As far as Brock's cancer goes...as I recall, his cancer made his brain hyper-produce adrenaline, which has the chemical the symbiote feeds off of. At the end of the series where that was revealed, IIRC, the symbiote said it still wanted Parker, because it was getting ready to reproduce again, and because being with Brock was painful, since it felt the pain from his cancer.
