YEARS AGO, THE LIFE FOUNDATION--A DANGEROUS CONGLOMERATE THAT, FOR A TIME, FOCUSED ITS EFFORTS ON DESTROYING SPIDER- MAN--CAPTURED THE VENOM SYMBIOTE AND FORCED IT TO SPAWN FIVE OFFSPRING: SCREAM, LASHER, RIOT, AGONY AND PHAGE. DONNA DIEGO WAS THE ORIGINAL HOST TO THE SCREAM SYMBIOTE BEFORE HER MURDER AT THE HANDS OF EDDIE BROCK. THE CALL OF KNULL—THE SYMBIOTE GOD—WAS TOO STRONG TO KEEP THE SCREAM SYMBIOTE BURIED, AS IT AROSE FROM ITS SHALLOW GRAVE WITH THE BODY OF DONNA DIEGO TO FOLLOW KNULL’S BIDDING. PATRICIA ROBERTSON, THE FORMER HOST TO THE MANIA SYMBIOTE, HAS BEEN BIDING HER TIME FOR THIS EXACT MOMENT, BUT ALL OF HER TRAINING COULDN’T STOP THE INEVITABLE, AS THE SCREAM SYMBIOTE ABANDONED DIEGO’S CORPSE AND BONDED TO PATRICIA! BEING CONTROLLED BY THE SPIRAL OF KNULL, SCREAM IS NOW HUNTING ANOTHER PREVIOUS MANIA SYMBIOTE HOST—ANDI BENTON!
