[@Retired] Are you sure? Venom has been his own anti-hero without Spider-Man before. Like in the movie or Agent Venom. This would basically just be that except I like Gwen Stacy's aesthetic and character more than I do Eddie Brock. I think having both could work, though it's up to the GM of course but this seems to be a personal preference on your part. 

I mean I suppose I will apply anyway but I think both Spider-Man and Venom could co-exist at the start of this RP. 

edit: I guess he wouldn't get to be an NPC villain unless something happened to my character.
