Originally posted by scibott Would the X-Men's Rogue gain or loose character if she were bonded to a Symbiote. Any of them, whether it's Venom, Carnage, Toxin, Hybrid, the Life Foundation Symbiotes (any of the 5), another Carnage offspring, or Toxin's first? I bring this up just for some random chance that it would work to get at least one page worth of discussion.
Lose character.
I just do not find the idea of "good" characters bonded with symbiotes compelling, especially on a long-term basis. If the character is good, then they should become bad after getting one.
One theme we don't see much of in these books is the concept of absolute power corrupting absolutely. Nowhere is that more true than when you get a symbiote. They seem to bring out the worst in almost everyone.
Plus, doesn't Rogue drain powers from what she touches? Would a symbiote stay in place long enough for her to do that? That does not sound like a symbiote-friendly scenario. I thnk it would immediately jump ship.
Have fun in Hawaii btw; I'm jealous. Always wanted to go there 😈

So, the symbiote is weak, Rogue is completly overloaded with the symbiotes power.
Don't get me started on Carnage getting on her...
Although...Comic Rogue, or X-men Evo Rogue?
...a person imbuened with a symbiotes strength ....while bounded to a symbiote that couldn't control you if it's life depended on it giving you free range of it's abilities for your own purposes..............sounds like fun 😈
Just got the DVD. Loved Stan Lee's commentary on how Venom must brush his teeth. 😛
Found a fic. It's nice and disgusting. It's like symbiote dining habits, the "how to" guide. 😛

But no body was ever found. She just vanished. I suspect she's "dead" like movie Ock is "dead." "Dead" until it is plot-convenient to bring her back. 😉
And in the last issue of the Venom arc, you can see Eddie's alive too. Towards the end you can see Venom's hanches / claws above Pete in one of the pannels of the next to last page.
