Venom's New Symbiote God Has One Power Even the King in Black Didn't
Warning: contains a preview for Venom #5!
In a preview for Marvel's Venom #5, Eddie Brock encounters a new symbiote god who wields powers not even Knull seemed to have as the King in Black. Thanks to writer Al Ewing, Brock has been embarking on a time-travel journey of epic proportions, one where the newly crowned King in Black has been thrown from his physical body and out of his own time period. However, Eddie is barely able to control his traversal through the timeline via the symbiote hivemind of the past, present, and future — something the newly revealed symbiote god known as Meridius can do with ease.
In previous issues of Venom, Eddie left the present while his physical body was destroyed by the Life Foundation, purely existing through the symbiote hivemind. Additionally, he's left his old symbiote with his son Dylan who has now become a fugitive, becoming the new Venom and being highly sought after not just by the Life Foundation but also other organizations involved in a massive symbiote conspiracy known as «the Absent Throne.» However, it's also been teased that everything happening to Eddie and his son is the work of this new symbiote god Meridius.

Now, the new preview for Venom #5 from Al Ewing and Bryan Hitch (following up on issue 4 by series co-writer, Ram V, who is focusing on Dylan's half of the narrative) will reveal more about Meridius, who can apparently traverse time with a simple thought. Unlike Eddie's King in Black, unmoored from his own time before haphazardly ending up in Meridius' garden, this new symbiote god is revealed to playing a non-linear game with Eddie and Dylan; one he's prepared millennia to play.
