Knull is the most herculean enemy thatVenomhas ever faced . The   fell   god of the symbiotes is older than the universe itself , so powerful and profane that the thought of him drives humans to psychosis . His existence   came as a terrible impact to Eddie Brock and his wanderer - powered symbiote … but is it possible that Venom is much   closer to the dragon - turn on deity than he realise ? The late storylineSymbiote Spider - Man : Alien Realitysuggests the two might be one and the same .

In rules of order to defend the scoundrel together , Doctor Strange teaches   Spider - Man   to use magic . He realizes at the start of the lessons that Spidey ’s   costume is awake and reasoning ,   controlling   Peter ’s body when he catch some Z’s . Understanding that the lawsuit made a better ally than an enemy , Strange ask it to   cooperate in substitution for hear everything about thaumaturgy that   Spider - Man does . Then the suit put that training to use . In the final issuance , Peter Parker is unconscious while Strange and the symbiote enter the   Dream Dimension to seek the artefact . Stephen Strange finds out it was destroyed and laments their defeat . But the symbiote uses what he ’s learned from Peter to find out that , like anythingunwritten from an ongoing story , the computer memory remains ; the black suit magically realise   that memory real and gains the big businessman to rewrite world to the way it once was .

The master of the Dream Dimension , Nightmare , appears with an offering . He senses that the symbiote has a lecherousness for magnate above all else . He suggest that the cause   could castrate reality to recreate the world , make itself a god , and utilise its power to terrify people and fuel Nightmare with fear . The symbiote follow Nightmare ’s direction to become a immortal ,   then emerges in Baron Mordo ’s den to beat down Hobgoblin and the Baron . Everything gets reset .   Spider - Man lose his memory of the event ( and all that wizardly training ) . It ’s a hefty condition - quo ending .

But the biggest doubtfulness asked by the finale is will unanswered . If the black suit is so power - athirst , why would it give up that world power and return the world to normal ? If he did what Nightmare state , does that mean he became a divinity ? It ’s a moment that should delineate the symbiote as a   fiber by explaining what exactly motivates   it   when it ’s given countless authority , but it does n’t . reader   can   make an resolution for themselves , but one possible root has vast implication for the   currentVenomstoryline . What would the symbiote be like if it take up the offer ? It would be a dark god , older than the universe , spreading its power through the   cosmos and sow little terror . That alsohappens to describe Knull .

Peanuts and golden sky

Will this history be used as part of a lurid reveal in theupcoming King in Black case ? Not probable . This is a playfulness , brief miniseries unplug entirely from   current   continuity . But the account does establish a possible action that Knull and his scourge are but two paths of one colored   creature .
