All New Venom | The Clue Identity

Venom is a popular character, and over the years, he has become this edgy anti-hero with the likes of Deadpool, looking more than just a guy in a red suit. But in the current “All-New” Venom, Marvel is trying to reinvigorate the character after so many years of being a host to other characters.

But now, Eddie Brock has become the ‘New’ Carnage after the Venom War, which leaves the Venom symbiote to look for a suitable host. The first issue doesn’t reveal who the new host was, but the readers were given four characters to guess who it was, and that’s where the first issue begins with a twist that fans might leave guessing.

MOTU 200X | Cobra Khan

When you talk about the Masters of the Universe it is not just about He-Man battling Skeletor who want to take over Castle Grayskull. It’s also about the characters that populate Eternia and their individual stories and journey how they join the two faction of Heroic Warriors and Evil Warriors.

Mattel produced some interesting characters and some odd ones, but there’s this lesser known creature that has appeared in the Filmation cartoon as well as featured in the mini comics packed in with the original toyline. Cobra Khan is not your usual bumbling henchman, but often carries a darker agenda portrayed in the cartoon.
