Eugene "Flash" Thompson (a.k.a Venom) is a former high school star quarterback and the current host of the Venom symbiote. He is a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who uses the symbiote to go on dangerous missions.

Early Life
Flash grew up a few blocks from Peter Parker's house in Forest Hills, Queens, New York. He lived with his alcoholic father, Harrison Thompson, his mother, Rosie, and his younger sister, Jesse. He was constantly abused by his father and accused his mother of never supporting his son, leading to his own violent, bullying nature. He was also extremely insecure about his personal life. In preschool, he teased those who would later begin to despise him, like Duncan Matthews.

High School
He eventually became a classmate of Peter Parker, often bullying him, and became the quarterback of the football team. Sometimes he felt that he didn't know what he was doing when bullying someone, even after breaking a student's arm because of his sexuality.

When Peter's uncle died, Flash felt sorry for him and apologized to him for bullying him, which Peter accepts. After the debut of Spider-Man, Flash idolized him and became his number one fan.
