Marvel Avengers Alliance: Spec Ops 18 Patch Notes

    Spec Ops 18 Patch Notes

    Special Operation 18: Symbiosis

    Briefing - The discovery of a few dead symbiotes was only the beginning: Carnage, Venom, Scream, Hybrid and Anti-Venom have arrived on the scene. Along with the mysterious appearance of a new batch of Test Subjects, Spider-Man and S.H.I.E.L.D. look for help in the most unlikely places.

    Spec Op 18 Reward Hero: Anti-Venom
    Bio – As the original host of the Venom symbiote, Eddie Brock was one of Spider-Man’s greatest enemies. That changed when the symbiote was forcefully removed from Brock’s body. The leftover Venom particles in his bloodstream were transformed, bonding to his white blood cells, becoming a symbiote unlike any before. Born again as Anti-Venom, he has all the strengths of a symbiote with none of the weaknesses, plus the ability to cure any disease or poison. As to whether Brock’s hatred of Spider-Man has changed as well… that remains to be seen.

    When the Venom symbiote produced an offspring, it bonded with the closest person it could find: Eddie Brock's cellmate, the serial killer Cletus Kasady. Amplifying Kasady's lust for murder, Carnage is stronger than Spider-Man and Venom combined.

    New Boss: Scream
    One of the five offspring extracted from the Venom symbiote, Scream mauled her siblings and then fled the lab where she was created.
