Something I decided to come up with. Mainly because my hate for most of the stuff in Donny Cates' Venom run, such as how Dylan was conceived, and the comics current state is at an all time high. Enjoy.
Dylan Brock is a chimera made from Eddie's flesh and some of the Venom Symbiote's body. The boy's creator remains a mystery that no one can solve. However their reasoning as to why is simple: curiosity.
'Would a child made from human and Symbiote flesh need a host to survive?' 'What kind of person will they become?' ''What impact can this child create?' 'Will they meet their parents?' For the best results, the ingredients in question had to be highly compatible with each other.
Nothing is more potent than flesh marked by a star crossed love. The bond between Eddie Brock and the Venom Symbiote. One tempered through fire, sound, pain, but also death. Thus Dylan Brock was born.
Once created, the child is given St Peter's Orphanage to make his own path. He spends almost eight years at the orphanage. Dylan's Symbiote powers remain dormant with the only oddities about him being above average strength, senses, and durability.
They truly manifest after a symbiote has bonded with him. Dylan can change any part of his body into symbiote, stretching and morphing it into whatever he wants. He can switch between three forms: Symbiote, Hybrid, Human.
In Hybrid form, he has black Symbiote traits like Venom but with a few differing features. Platinum blonde spider emblem, long claws, shoulder spikes, back spikes and tendril like hair. A long thin tail with an arrow tip at the end. His body type is closer to Yugioh's Card Guard since Dylan is still young so his hybrid form is gonna be awkward in shape.
When he bonds to someone in Symbiote, the form given resembles a more humanoid version of his Hybrid state. It was very awkward for Dylan during the first time he bonded to someone. Even more awkward than waking up in Hybrid form and scaring himself in the mirror.
Dylan was adopted a few times over the years. However he's always returned in the end as every family didn't know how to handle him. Thanks to this the boy became introverted, more prone to outbursts and less trusting of people.
One day the orphanage is set ablaze after being caught in a battle between supers. Dylan's badly injured in the process and barely makes it out alive. Before he passes out in an alleyway, he's found by Venom.
Eddie takes Dylan to the hospital when his Other began speaking to him. There was something about the child that felt very familiar. Almost if they connected in some way. Eddie decides to learn more about the kid.
Thus he visits Dylan as the boy recovers in the hospital. Slowly learning about him from his favorite things, dislikes, and many other stuff. The boy is saddened when he had to return to the orphanage.
Everyone sees him as a nuisance at best and this Eddie guy was pretty cool to talk to. Imagine Dylan's surprise when he sees a familiar blond talking to orphanage's patron. Especially once the young boy spots those familiar papers in his hands.
Dylan would go home with Eddie Brock that day. He will soon learn the truth about his foster parent being Venom. Or how he isn't as human as he thought. Trust will be broken and their bonds tested but both come out stronger in the end.
Eddie nor his Other can let their son follow a dark path like they did. They will guide him the best they can as parents. Hopefully their offspring Sleeper can help keep Dylan on the right path.
