The Parasite Inside of Edward Brock

Edward “Eddie” Brock was once a normal man, with a wife who loved him, and a fantastic job. But out of nowhere, a meteor crashes on New York, and Eddie is put on a story about. Suddenly, some parasite is put in him, and Eddie must find a way to control himself before the parasite takes over. (Note: My idea for this is to make Venom more like villain than just an anti hero. The film, Joker succeeded at doing that, so why couldn’t Venom?)
