Does anybody know who all the venoms are supposed to be across the 5 connecting covers Clayton Crain did? I know about half of them and the other half are driving me nuts. Especially the one with the circle design on the front on #1, and the dude with a ton of extra heads on his back on #4. And the dino looking dude on the last cover I feel is right on the tip of my tongue.

I'm in the same boat when it comes to the circle design one and the monstrous (dino) one . I’m fairly positive the first is supposed to be black panther but I’m not positive. He may have just altered the costume a bit. As for the one with extra heads it’s a reference to when classic brock venom absorbed a few other symbiotes in the short 3 part series called the madness. He fights juggernaut in it. Going counter clockwise I can identify superior venom, zombie, maniac ( I think that’s her name) , possibly black panther , x23 for issue 1. Rocket, space knight, earth x mayday Parker , brock in classic 90s venomized clothing, Rex from old man Logan for issue 2. Ultimate (about 90% sure), classic macfarlane venom, venom 2099, power cosmic/enigma force venom for issue 3. The aforementioned madness venom , frank castle , lee price, what appears to be a semi venomed out flash Thompson venom in the bottom right corner, renew your vows Mary Jane , Mac gargan, cardiac for issue 4. Lastly have the mystery symbol-less beastly one, agent venom, Robbie Reyes , venomized spider ham and lastly bride of venom for issue 5. I hope I was able to help on a few.

@blitzkr1eg: @the_mighty_monarch: This is a tough one but I think together we may be able to get all of these Venoms identified.

ISSUE 1 Features: Superior Venom/Otto Octavius (Notes: Took me a while to identify this one because for some reason Crain didn't go with the raging, venomed out version of Superior and used this more subdued/controlled one. Plus I don't think his spider logo is an exact match to the comics). X-23 (From Edge of Venomverse 1). Mania/Andrea Benton (Sidekick of Agent Venom/Flash Thompson). Zombie Venom (Earth 2149). Poison/Peter Parker (From Earth 70134. This is a really obscure character and from the comic "What If? Spider-Man the Other from 2007. Basically after Morlun "Kills" Peter and he goes into his cocoon and the symbiote fuses with him permanently).

ISSUE 2 Features: Rocket Raccoon (This first happened somewhere in GOTG vol. 3 issue 21 or 22 during the Planet Venom story arc). Venomized T-Rex (From the Old Man Logan story Earth 807128). Space Knight Venom/Flash Thompson (From Planet Venom also). Street Disguise Eddie Brock (Another hard one to find. I believe this is from Amazing Spider-Man 375). Earth X May "Day" Parker (From Earth 9997)

ISSUE 3 Features: Venom/Eddie Brock (classic). Venom 2099/Kron Stone (Earth 298). Mayhem/April Parker (Clone of May "Day" Parker from MC2/Earth 982). Ultimate Venom/Eddie Brock Jr. (This is one i'm not 100% on. The lack of a spider symbol is usually an indicator for Ultimate Venom but artist renditions have varied).

ISSUE 4 Features: Venom/Eddie Brock "The Madness" (From the 3 issue mini series "Venom the Madness". This happens after the symbiote absorbs some toxic waste driving it mad). The Punisher (I could use some help figuring out when or where this one first shows up but I think the skull is enough evidence. There is a Venomized Punisher from Venomverse War Stories but he wears a jacket, bullet belt, and full mask. Once again this just could be a differing artistic interpretation). UNKNOWN (I have no idea who the big glowing blue Venom with the armor and hammer thing is. sorry. help!). Venom/Angelo Fortunalo (From Marvel Knights Spider-Man 2004, Angelo was a short lived Venom who received the symbiote after his gangster father bought it from Eddie Brock at a supervillain auction. Angelo's father thought the symbiote would toughen him up. Unfortunately for Angelo the symbiote sensed his weakness and abandoned him in mid air leaving Angelo to plunge to his death. The Symbiote would them move onto Mac Gargan). Venom/Lee Price (Lee would get the symbiote after Flash Thompson lost it in Venom 2016 by Mike Costa). Mary Jane/Spinneret (from Earth 18119 aka Renew Your Vows issue 8). Venom/Mac Gargan (Identified by the spider symbol. Sometimes Gargan was drawn with eyes in the white patches on his head and sometimes he wasn't. Sometimes his was man sized and sometime he was HULKED up size. Depends on the artist)

ISSUE 5 Features: Ultimate Venom II/Conrad Marcus (Conrad got the ultimate symbiote after Eddie Brock Jr.). She-Venom/Ann Weying (Eddie's Ex-wife from the Venom: Sinner Takes All mini series 1995). Pork Grind (Earth 8311). Agent Venom/Flash Thompson. Ghost Rider/Robbie Reyes (From Edge of Venomverse 3)

That's it from me guys. Hope it was helpful, and please if you have any info to add or can identify that one other venom I would appreciate it.
