Venom is a Marvel antihero, a symbiote who bonds with journalist Eddie Brock, and the phrase We are Venom became closely associated with the character in the 2018 film Venom, where the creature asserts that host and symbiote act as one. The line circulated widely in trailers, edits and memes after the film's release, becoming shorthand for a dark, powerful alter ego. It remains popular because it is instantly recognisable, easy to place over a reveal, and carries the same menacing tone whether used seriously or for comedy.
