[edit] Continuity

Spider-Man Unlimited doesn't follow the continuity of the 1990's TAS in a few ways.

Let's use as an example the creation of Venom and Carnage.

TAS:

  • Spider-Man found the Symbiote on John Jameson's crashed shuttle after fighting the Rhino who wanted the Promethium X. Spider-Man dismisses the black ooze as river pollution. Later that night, the Symbiote bonds with Spider-Man.

After rescuing John Jameson from the hands of the Kingpin, Spidey battles Shocker and Eddie Brock follows him up the tower. Spidey webs Eddie Brock to the tower. Spider-Man realises the Symbiote was vulnerable to sound and so used the bell's chime to get the Symbiote off him. Unfortunately, the Symbiote bonded to Brock and became Venom.

Spidey defeated Venom by tricking him into a confrontation at the launch site of the John Jameson Probe, forcing the Symbiote off Brock. The authorities apprehend Brock.

  • Carnage was created when the Venom Symbiote returned to the Earth after Baron Mordo grounded the Probe. Mordo returned the Symbiote to Brock, who became Venom and escaped Ravencroft. Cletus Kasady had recently been put in jail, assumedly he was the same kind of serial killer madman he was in the comics, but when Dormammu told Mordo of a second Symbiote, Mordo gave the Carnage symbiote to Cletus Kasady as a 'gift', as long as Kasady swore to serve Dormammu forever.

Spider-Man Unlimited:

  • As in the TAS, Spidey found his way to the shuttle crash, but this time, the Symbiote bonded with him on the shuttle. Later, he forced the symbiote off himself and it, again, bonded to Brock. Spider-Man and Venom fight, and Spider-Man defeats Venom, allowing the authorities (assumedly S.H.I.E.L.D.) to take him. The symbiote remained bonded to Eddie Brock and he escaped, giving a Symbiote to 'Carnage'. No mention of Mordo or Dormammu is ever made. Also they assume their 'monster' forms in the flashback this story is told in, instead of their 'humanoid' forms. Ggctuk 12:57, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
"What have you done with our brother Venom?!" - Carnage. Yet, Venom is Carnage's "Father", not his "brother".

Carnage did refer to himself as 'we' at the start of Venom Returns, but in the next episode, it was 'I', then in Unlimited it was 'we' again. Ggctuk 08:53, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
