So here’s something that never comes up again: Gwen’s Venom allows her to turn invisible?
Wow, that is an extremely useful skill that she NEVER uses ever again! You’d think the abilitiy to go invisible would be something she’d keep. I know some comics depict Venom being capable of camouflage but its so rare that I’m certain authors have legit forgotten about it. Also, her suit seems bonded more at a Carnage molecular level than normal Venom. When 65-Sue Storm tried to choke her out with a force bubble in the face Gwen says she can feel the suit in her lungs and so she could breath through the suit like a full body tracheotomy.
This thing really needs to be explored more. Can she even remove it like Flash, Eddie and Peter can if it’s really attached to her lungs and she can breath through it? Seems more like the Crysis nanosuit than anything. Makes me wonder how much of her body is still her normal flesh and how much is just symbiote biomass like Alex Mercer.
Those are some good points you bring up, especially since Gwen's Venom is somewhat similar to the Crysis nanosuit in terms of being a synthetic creation reverse-engineered from an extraterrestrial source (biological in Venom's case, technological in the nanosuit's case).
The spider is always on the hunt.
Yep. Reminds me of this scene:
Like if they do a deep scan on Gwen is her body just half made up of the Venom suit now? I made a joke before that Gwen is technically always naked now since she uses the suit to change outfits instead of putting on clothes but is she literally pulling an Alex Mercer where chunks of her flesh are just replaced with symbiote mass?
You could say the same of any and all symbiote hosts, since the most common use of a bonded symbiote is camouflaging it as any type of clothing the host wants. Funny you bring up Prototype, since Ultimate Venom was basically a human-engineered version of the Venom symbiote before Prototype established the Blacklight Virus that could grant its host similar shapeshifting and combat abilities to Venom. Hell, if they made a Venom game, I could see it taking inspiration from Prototype.

Yeah, didn't Peter do the same thing, using the symbiote as clothing, when he had the Venom symbiote (before it was called Venom!)? I know he did in the 90s cartoon.

King in Black handbook cover includes Gwenom:
The solicit: "This issue covers not only symbiote hosts such as Venom (Eddie Brock), Carnage (Cletus Kasady) and Lee Price, but also characters whom symbiotes have affected: Victoria Montesi! Ghost-Spider (Gwen Stacy)! Dylan Brock! Ann Weying! Plus: a profile of Knull, the King of Black himself! And from the pages of THOR: the All-Black - the first symbiote!"
It seems like Gwen isn’t considered a mainline host since she’s placed in the ‘characters symbiotes have affected‘ pile. Probably due to her having an artificial Venom.
