Neither Mutant nor Alien, simply a Monster. Poison is a character with a loyal fanbase who admire his daring and confident, as well as tragic and violent, journey. Here I present the magic formula behind his epic misadventures, and show how the mere "Wolverine Jr." can lift your spirits, just like the music presented here.
Dunwich - Eletric Wizard
Regarding the narration of the infamous story "The Dunwich Horror" by the American writer H.P. Lovecraft, the music of Electric Wizard tells the story of the "Child of Dunwich" and its profane origin. The pale beast that hid in a spacious room in the small town in the interior of Massachusetts, the abominable son of the gloomy Yog-Sothoth and a young witch. The parallel drawn to Jimmy Hudson lies in the elements that coincide in the presentation of both. The son of the sorceress Magda Lehnsherr and the First Mutant, the infamous Wolverine (1610), grew up always suspicious of his origins and true nature. Furthermore, in 2018, Jimmy Hudson bonded with the predatory symbiote Poison, with its whitish armor elements, terrorizing the small town of Dunwich in rural California. The monstrous, alien-like nature and almost profane conception they share create an interesting pairing with the mythical mix he embodies.
Astro Zombies - Misfits
Known for the violent themes in its repressive lyrics, Astro Zombies by Misfits presents a dystopian narrative where the narrator, possessing destructive powers, commands the "Astro Zombies" to exterminate the human race. In the Marvel universe, something similar has often occurred; in 2018, the Venomized saga brought to light the threat of the Poisons, an alien hive that consumed Klyntar symbiotes and their hosts to strengthen its workers. They were responsible for the death and assimilation of Jimmy Hudson; however, due to his inherited mutation, Jimmy survived the death of the Poisons even while bound to the hive, becoming the last Poison, the last "Astro Zombie".
Go Against With My Monster - Balzac
The song explores the perspective of a stranger, an invader in a strange world to which he does not belong and which is so fragile to him. He lives in this place, filled with hatred for humans, living a continuous internal battle against his own monster. This is the reason for his prolonged exile and exclusion from the Nation of Krakoa: the battle with the monstrous desires that Jimmy Hudson displayed subjected him to inhabiting the bowels of the Monsters Metropolis, guarded and monitored by Dr. Michael Morbius, who studied him and ensured that Jimmy did not harm anyone.
Tsume Tsume Tsume - Maximum The Hormone
The lyrics address themes of pain, submission, and chaos, using raw and direct language. The lyrics criticize oppression and violence, both physical and psychological. The repetition of "Tsume Tsume Tsume" (claws, claws, claws) can be interpreted as a metaphor for aggression and constant struggle. Jimmy Hudson endured abuse at the hands of Jean Grey (1610), who attempted to use him as an assassin's pawn to eliminate Kitty Pryde and overthrow the nation of Utopia. He was also abused by Miss Sinister, who used him to produce Mothervine agents, transform humans into mutants, and enhance mutants in her army. Even after escaping and fleeing the conflict, he continues his relentless fighting, controlling himself to avoid making the innocent around him victims of his clutches.
Superbeast - Rob Zombie
Freed from his moral constraints, he goes mad and unleashes the violent instinct that makes him unstoppable. Like Rob Zombie's "Superbeast," it has been shown that, when donning the symbiotic suit, Poison becomes virtually unforgiving; his body can only be harmed by Adamantium weapons, his long claws cut through anything in their path, and his mind surrenders to murderous bestiality—a thirst for killing that led Deadpool to choose him as an ally in the Venom War, and also to regret giving him so much freedom.
