Warning: Spoilers for Savage Avengers #1 ahead!
Flash Thompson is joining the Savage Avengers as Agent Anti-Venom, and the new-age anti-hero has a great new twist on Venom's greatest alternate costume, bringing his iconic look together with the symbiote Anti-Venom.
The alien symbiote Venom has taken on a great number of alternate looks over the years, adopting to new hosts and rival symbiotes in its effort to be Earth's «Lethal Protector.» Among the many iterations of Venom, Agent Venom sits among its most iconic looks. When bonded to Peter Parker's high school bully, Flash Thompson, the symbiote takes on the look of a tactical mercenary, reflecting Flash's time as a member of the U.S. Army.
