Ann Weying

Origin

Anne Weying was a successful lawyer and the ex-wife of Eddie Brock ( Venom). When Eddie kidnaps Richard and Mary Parker in order to lead Spider-Man into a trap, Anne revealed Eddie's history to Spider-Man: how he struggled to gain his father's approval, and his mental downfall after losing his job as a reporter. When Spider-Man confronts Venom, Anne arrives on the scene in an effort to try to talk some sense into Eddie, but is caught in the middle of a three way battle between Spidey, Venom, and the Wild Pack, and is nearly killed when the Wild Pack knocked over a Ferris Wheel which nearly crushed Anne. Thanks to Venom and Spider-Man's combined efforts her life was saved, leading to a truce between the two.

Creation

Anne first appeared in Amazing Spider-Man #375 in March 1993 and was created by David Michelinie and Mark Bagley.

Major Story Arcs

When Sin-Eater shoots Anne, Eddie temporarily separates from the symbiote and has the alien bond with Anne in order to heal her, making her into She-Venom. While bonded to the symbiote, when Big Brown and Junior attack her and Eddie, Anne viciously tears apart the two thugs and is horrified at the sight of their bodies after the symbiote returned to Eddie.

She is later incarcerated by the police under false charges. Using her one phone call, Anne calls Eddie and tells him not to come for her. Eddie promises, but instead sends a symbiote through the phonelines. It bonds to her and she breaks out of prison. Anne is still coping with the experience of the symbiote bonding to her and having Eddie back in her life. When Eddie transforms into Venom before her very eyes, she can't take it any more and commits suicide by jumping off her high rise apartment.

Alternate Reality

On Earth 1051, Anne is bonded with the Venom symbiote and leading a rebellion of symbiote clad heroes against her son Dylan, aka Codex.
