 A Fan-Event for Marvel Heroic
Roleplaying

By Nicholas Arroyo

If Peter gets to be part of a “Spider-Verse”, then everyone’s

favorite alien parasite should get to star in his own
multiverse spanning adventure!
During the event Secret War, Peter Parker came in contact
with an alien parasite known as a “Klyntar.” Since then, the
little critters have been scurrying across Earth and causing
rampages.
Now, the perfect hosts of the symbiotes have come to collect
the harvest. From all across the multiverse, venoms are
vanishing and being converted into something much worse.
Doctor Strange has summoned all the Venoms he could to
protect the multiverse from the “Poisons”.

Structure of the Event
Venomverse is a bit shameless. Spider-Verse was the
big event they had a couple years back for the wall-crawler
and they figured Venom needed an event before his movie
came out. They didn’t dig too deep for the idea.
The premise, however, still makes for a fun campaign
idea, even if it wasn’t that great of a read. It gives you a
bunch of characters in familiar roles, little continuity to
worry about, an easy entry/exist, and the potential for future
campaigns (as Venomverse had two sequels: Poison X and
Venomized).
The event is a bit linear due to the nature of the, well,
event itself. To compensate, we gave a lot of areas to play
with the design and offer different (and likely more
entertaining) events to occur at your table.
 EDGE OF THE VENOMVERSE is great to get a
feel of how to handle the hooks for this event. Some of
them are even fun reads like the Gwenpool one.
 VENOMVERSE is the best place to start learning
about the event. After all, it is, well, the event itself.
The event is easy to just get into on its own. The
biggest hurdle is its “B-Movie” quality.
 POISON X is the middle child in this series of events
and is the lead-in to this trilogy’s conclusion. Not an
easy read to get into, however, if you haven’t been
keeping up with X-Men. It follows the Young X-Men
and involves Cyclops’ space pirate dad. Still, tells you
more about the Poison’s goals and abilities.
 VENOMIZED is the end of the trilogy and probably
the last appearance of the Poisons in Marvel comics.
Tells you a lot more about the Poisons and their goals.

Milestones for the event
Players may choose one of the following milestones instead of the milestones
from their hero datafile. More than one hero may use the same of the following

Unlockables
Heroes in Venomverse can unlock the following during the course of
the game:
 [5 XP/10 XP] Poison X: You can give in and let
yourself become a spy for the Venoms. It will only
cost you your life. Your original personality can hold
on, but not forever. For 5 XP, you turn into a Watcher
character at the end of the Act. For 10 XP, you can
remain in control till the end of the Event. Replace
your symbiote powerset with the Poison X powerset
found on page 47
 [5 XP/10 XP] Rocket’s Bombs: Sometimes a big
bang is perfect for a big escape. For 5 XP, you can use
one of Rocket’s Bombs to escape a scene and
essentially narrate your escape like the Watcher can
narrate a 2d12 scene end. For 10 XP, you also inflict
d6 physical trauma on any enemies present in the
scene.
 [10 XP] Become Carnage: After Carnage appears,
you can spend 10 XP to swap to him. He is immune to
the Poison conversion. His Watcher file is found on
page 25.

Hooks
Edge of the Venomverse sets the perfect templates for
Hooks. The heroes should be off in their own universe doing
their own adventure. No action scenes should take place.
Fighting can occur, but the results should be handled with a
check against the Doom Pool. This is to save on time. At the
end of the scene, Captain America (bonded with a venom
symbiote) arrives and recruits them.

If one of the players is playing Captain America, then I’d

suggest using another hero. Consider Agent Venom, Spider-
Man, Black Panther, or Eddie Brock. All of them should be
in possession of the symbiote and none of them should be
from Earth-616.

Doom Pool

8 8 8

The Doom Pool Starts at 3d8.

Transition Scene: The First Poison

When the group is sent from their world, they arrive in a
desolate landscape. They are separated and alone. They are
in New York, but the city is in ruin and no one is about.
Then, someone appears.
Who appears depends on the player. T’Challa may see his
father T’Chaka or Shuri or someone else from his life.
Spider-Man could see Mary Jane or Aunt May or Uncle
Ben. If nothing else, it may appear as someone weak and in
need of help. The point is that the Poison is trying to feed on
our heroes by betraying their trust.
The heroes are not in danger, yet. Even if they are about to
touch the child, their recruiter (assumed to be Captain
America) destroys the visage with their shield and explains
to them that they would have died.
After everyone has a scene of this, they find each other and
are lead to the resistance base by their recruiter.

10
Transition Scene: Resistance HQ
After a short trip, the recruiter brings you to Resistance HQ.
Located in the underground metro system, the remaining
heroes are using this place as a bunker to prepare and plan
their counter-act against the Poisons.
Resistance HQ is sparse and only has one real location:
ROCKET’S WORKSHOP: Rocket has a workshop setup
to work on the bombs they plan on using against the
Poisons. It’s DANGEROUS AND EXPLOSIVE and is a
great place to STOCK UP ON EXPLOSIVES.
Around the heroes, they will see alternate, venom-possessed
versions of numerous Marvel characters. The only
guaranteed one is Doctor Strange. He is the one who
brought everyone together and this is his home universe.
Before too much can be explained, Poison Hulk bursts in
from the ceiling and attacks.

Poison Hulk is a large scale threat and can take on the entire
Resistance on his own. However, the original personality is
still strong in this one and lowers the intellect of the Poison
and increases its rage.
AN ARMY OF VENOMS are on the team’s side.
ROCKET’S WORSHOP is still DANGEROUS AND
EXPLOSIVE and it is still a great place to STOCK UP ON
EXPLOSIVES.
Handle the other Venom’s as background characters, only
mattering if their distinction is used. Be careful on narrating
specific members of the army dying since they are the stock
of back-up characters for the heroes.
Doctor Strange is assumed to escape immediately. He’s kind
of plot important.
Poison Hulk is kind of a big deal and an explosive way to
start. The intent, both in the comic itself and in this event, is
to get across how desperate things are for the hero. The bad
guys have the upper hand in strength. Be sure to make it
clear how much of a curb stomping this is for the
Resistance.
If Poison Hulk is not defeated, then the Recruiter sacrifices
himself to take out the Hulk and gets captured. If the heroes
manage to defeat Poison Hulk, the other Resistance
members will move to kill the Poison Hulk, which might be
a point of contention for the heroes. The reality is, though,
Hulk/Bruce Banner is dead in there and keeping him alive is
a risk.
Either way, they scatter to find a new base at the old church.

13
Transition Scene: Bridge To Ruin
However, the heroes have to escape, they are scattered into
small groups. The main players should remain together and
be led by a group of Rivals (one is assumed to be Spider-
Man). The Rivals are people personal to one the characters.
Someone they are, well, Rivals to.
In the original event, it was Spider-Man as the main
character was Eddie Brock. If Eddie Brock isn’t present, I’d
look into someone related to the characters and use them.
Captain America could have the Red Skull, for example. It
should be someone they know and have an antagonistic
relationship towards.
This will lead to arguments between the hero and their
Rival, as well as the general confusion and questions that the
heroes are going to have bouncing around after fighting
Poison Hulk. They are on the run so they don’t have a lot of
time to rest and have to stay on the move. This is to further
drill how desperate things are.
When it feels appropriate, Poison Octopus arrives and starts
the action scene.

Poison Octopus and the Poison’s will fight the heroes, but
that isn’t their main goal. Since Poison Octopus brought
some Poisons with him, he’s going to be just as interested in
fighting the heroes as he is to try and make them become
Poisons. They will focus on doing emotional or mental
stress, making assets through shape shifting, and generally
trying to get trigger the “Their Touch Is Poison” SFX.

From this point forward, the Watcher may spend a d10 from
the Doom Pool to add the Poison mob on Page 16 to any
action scene.
The bridge is FULL OF CARS AND BOULDERS and
FALLING APART.
When Poison Octopus is taken out, the Rivals are consumed
by one of the Poisons and becomes an additional enemies.
Add the Poison X powered from page 47 to their datafiles.
As the Rivals can be so many different characters, we have
not included a datafile for all of them here. But we did give
an example with Spider-Man
Once all the Poisons are dealt with, Poison Rivals will flee
citing a lack of interest. Poison Rivals will also successfully
flee if they are taken out in the fight while the heroes are
distracted. If any heroes were turned into Poisons during the
fight, they leave with the Poison Rivals. The player should
pick a new datafile and will rejoin the group at the next
transition scene.

Transition Scene: Sunday Mass
With the bridge clear to move, the heroes reunite with the
rest of the Resistance and find their way to the Church. This
is the same church where Venom met his symbiote and may
have significance to some characters.
The characters have time to decompress and consider
everything that has happened. Doctor Strange will also
explain what they know of the Poisons.
 They don’t know much about where they are from or
where they come.
 They assimilate with touch.
 They can only assimilate once, so only the little ones
can still do so.
 They absorb the symbiote and become its host to
become the Perfect Host. But, they need fuel to do the
transformation. They use the current host as that fuel, thus
killing the original host.
 The little ones can take the psychic form of someone
you love.
 Every time they clash, the Resistance numbers shrink as
the Poison’s number grows.
 Doctor Strange has been summoning Venom’s from
across the multiverse to aid in the fight.
At the end of the scene, Doctor Strange mentions he has one
more plan to turn the tide. As he says this, a red tentacle
appears out of a portal.
End of Act 1.

19
 What if? Act One
Like we said earlier, we wanted to make more branching
points in the event. After all, the original event is very
linear. It also allows for a few screws to put to your players
if they already read the event.
What if…the Poisons worked with the
Symbiote Slayers?

The original plans for Venomverse involved delving into the

backstory of the Symbiote Slayers. They were a
technorganic parasite that slowly turned their hosts into
techno-zombies.

20
In the original Venomverse, the world is desolate and
empty. It is a non-entity. Whatever world they were in, at
least when it comes to New York, everything is dead. There
are no civilians, no army, no other heroes: it’s just the
Venoms and the Poisons. There is never an explanation
given to this desolation, outside the implication that the
Poisons ended the world.
The Symbiote Slayers add an extra layer of things. Poisons
are only interested in people bonded with Symbiotes.
Symbiote Slayers assimilate everything. This explains the
desolation.
The idea would be the Poisons unleased the Symbiote
Slayers to distract the heroes while they hunted their prey.
When their prey, Doctor Strange, called in help from other
worlds, they decided to stay and release more to cut off his
help and weaken the Venoms for conversion. This
eventually lead to the extinction of mankind to the Symbiote
Slayers.
The Symbiote Slayers would show up for an action scene in
between the Transition Scene: The First Poison and the
Transition Scene: Resistance HQ.
The action scene is shown below:
Action Scene: The Symbiote slayers
While on their way to resistance HQ, the heroes come across
a horde of Symbiote Slayers. The Recruiter explains that
this is what is left of this Earth’s residents. The Poisons
infected everyone without a Symbiote with a technorganic
parasite called “Symbiote Slayers.”

21
 The Symbiote Slayers roam the streets looking for venoms
to fight. The Recruiter will warn never to take off your
symbiote or else the Symbiote Slayers will try to fuse with
them.
As the recruiter explains this, a scout for the Symbiote
Slayers surprises the group and the horde descends.

The battlefield is EMPTY AND BARREN but there is the

FEAR OF MORE ARRIVING.
After they are defeated, the Recruiter makes it clear that
they need to move quickly before more arrive.
22
Back to the What If...the Symbiote Slayers can
also be added to the Eight Ways To Die action scene to
increase the tension. They can also be added to any fight
scene going forward or the “Symbiote Slayers” action scene
can be inserted anywhere in the adventure to add a little
more. I do warn that it can feel like padding if not done
correctly. Try to use it sparingly.
The Watcher can spend a d10 from the Doom Pool to add
the Symbiote Slayers mob from page 22 to any action scene.
Also, be sure to have fun with them. They’re techno-
zombies who spontaneous grow new cybernetic weapons
whenever they are injured. There is some body horror stuff
you can do with them.

them and trying to rip the Resistance to shreds. Doctor
Strange was not expecting this at all.

and will be a large scale threat with the same affiliations as
Carnage, but he will give in once his Solo affiliation is

Right as Carnage is beginning to be worn down, a hole is
blasted in the wall. Out from it comes Captain Poison (or
your Recruiter), Poison Fist, Rhino Poison, Poison Eye and
The Green Poison. They didn’t know about Carnage and do
not know he’s stronger than Venom and immune to the
Poison. Carnage will fight alongside the characters as a
Watcher Character, unless a player unlocks him as a hero.
Carnage will work alongside the heroes as a Watcher

Once the last Poison falls, Doctor Strange is almost
converted by a Poison. One of the Resistance sacrifices
themselves to the Poison (assumed Robbie Reyes), only to
be killed instantly by Carnage (or another Resistance
member is Carnage is being used by a hero or the What If
Toxin rules are being used).
Afterwards, the Resistance notices that Doctor Strange is
now missing and is presumed captured by one of the
surviving Poisons.
If the heroes are all taken out in this fight, the Resistance
fighters will be able to protect some of them and evacuate
them, but not all of them. The player with the lowest Plot
Points is converted into a Poison and lost to the group. If this
player would be Carnage, then it moves to the player with
the second lowest Plot Points. If there is a tie, all of the tying
players are converted.

Transition Scene: So What Do We

Do now?
The heroes, for the first time in the arc, have some time to
lick their wounds and decompress. Their base has been
compromised so they have to move again, but, for now, the
Poisons have left and it will be a while before they learn
their attack force failed.
They have a few options and need to hold up in one of the
abandoned buildings nearby, as all other tactical locations
would be known by Captain Poison (or whoever your
recruiter was) and possibly compromised already.

32
As they wait, they have time to discuss recent events.
Players need to go on watch duty. This should serve as a
means to pair off players and give them some time to
roleplay off each other. Personally, at this time, things will
have been pretty action packed. It’s important to take some
time and have some slower scenes here. Bring home the
bleakness of the situations.
 Doctor Strange, capable of opening portals to other
universes, has been captured. The Poisons can now travel
across the multiverse and conqueror all worlds.
 Numerous Venoms have been lost in this Event alone:
The Recruiter, the Rivals, the one in the last scene, and any
player heroes who were lost. There have been a lot of deaths
and now there is no way to replenish their numbers.
 They have no way home.
 And they’re stuck with Carnage, their arch-nemesis.
After every hero has had a time to have a scene to
themselves, one of the Venoms announces their plan:
capture a Poison and interrogate them on their base.
Action Scene: Surprise Attack
As night falls, the heroes find a small patrol of Poisons
searching the area. The entire group starts with the
SURPRISE ATTACK D10 asset. Each hero gets one use of
it before it vanishes.
The point is to let the heroes feel strong and have the
Poisons on their back foot, to contrast the tough start to the
Act. Roleplaying games are power fantasies, after all.
This should be an easy fight and the Poisons should be too
confused to fight effectively.

At the end of the fight, the heroes can chose either Poison to
interrogate in the next scene. If they choose Poison Sabre, it
will be an intense interrogation. If they choose Gwen Poe
Son, it will be a joke fest.
Action Scene: Interrogate The
Poison
This is a very different kind of action scene. There is no
fight, just a very tough cookie to crack. Either they’re the ice
cold Poison Sabre, who is too touch to talk, or they are the
bubbly Gwen Poe Son, who is too crazy to talk.
Getting the info out of them won’t be easy and it’s very
possible for the heroes to fail at this task.
It’s possible for he heroes to try to use physical force to get
the answers. I discourage this as torture is kind of messed up
and out of tone, but, when Carnage is part of the group, it’s
going to come up. If it does, then taking out the hostage with
physical stress will only get them part of the information
before the hostage expires.
If the scene drags on or the heroes are taken out, the hostage
is killed by an unseen poison. The unseen poison shows no
hostility and reveals that they are on the Resistance’s side.
Transition Scene: Back From The
Other Side
The Spy Poison defaults to Deadpoison (Deadpool), but, if
any heroes were taken out and converted or willingly
became a spy, they should be one who arrives.
The Spy Poison fills in the missing details on where the
Poisons are hiding out and gives the details on how best to
launch a final, decisive attack on the Poisons.

36
The Spy Poison will also reveal that Doctor Strange has yet
to be converted due to his magical protections. This suggests
the heroes may still be able of getting home and that the
Poisons can’t leave their universe yet. Essentially, they have
a chance if they strike now.
The plan would be giving Carnage away as a sacrifice to the
Spy Poison and, once he is inside and is unable to be
converted, to breakout and cause a distraction while the Spy
Poison opens the gates. Then, blow it up with a big bomb.
That’s the Spy Poison’s plan, at least. The heroes are free to
disagree (“you want to take our trump card as a prisoner?
And we should trust you?”) and make their own plan. But
the core should remain the same: the next battle needs to be
at Poison HQ and it’s for all the marbles.
End of Act Two

37
 What if? Act Two
Like we said earlier, we wanted to make more branching
points in the event. After all, the original event is very
linear. It also allows for a few screws to put to your players
if they already read the event.

What if Toxin Appeared Instead of

Carnage?

38
You know, Toxin. THE Toxin. Carnage’s son?
Yeah, I won’t lie: this is arguably a step-down, but certainly
would surprise the players and change how things happen
going forward.
Quick backstory: Carnage got pregnant back in
Venom/Carnage #1 in 2004. Carnage wanted to kill his
offspring the second he found out he was pregnant, but
couldn’t. After giving birth, he was too weak to kill it and it
managed to bond with Patrick Mulligan, New York’s finest
police officer.
Patrick Mulligan struggled to control Toxin, but tried to
keep a balance with it. He tried to use his new powers for
good while teaching the symbiote right from wrong. As
Toxin was the offspring of a corrupted Klyntar, it was
violent, angry, and was not easy to control. If you want to
know how successful his series was, the fact is Toxin was
killed off-panel to justify Eddie Brock having powers
(Toxin’s symbiote) when Flash Thompson was Venom.
Still, Toxin would just be as immune as Carnage is to the
Poisons, as it is implied they cannot assimilate corrupted
Klyntars.
He also would be much easier to deal with. Patrick Mulligan
actually cares about people and is isn’t, you know, a serial
killer. It arguably makes a lot more sense to summon him
than Carnage. But, honestly, who the hell knows who Toxin
is?

Doom Pool

10 10

The Doom Pool starts at 2d10.

Transition Scene: All According To
Plan
However the heroes planned it to go, they start at the big
crux of the plan. The default would be Carnage being lead in
to Poison HQ by Deadpoison. The other Poisons will believe
the spy’s story of conquest and let him in. The Venoms
should take this time to get into position and discuss the
plan.
Once Carnage is in (or whatever is the key part of the plan),
the transition scene pops out (defaulted by Deadpoison and
Carnage attacking their captors) and the battle for Poison
HQ begins.
Now, the reality is that the final battle of the event took
place over one issue and was more than a little rushed due to
the length. As such, while liberties will be taken, this act
will similarly be short.
Action Scene: Final Stand
There are three core concerns for the heroes to divide their
attention.
 Plant and detonate the bomb.
 Free Doctor Strange
 Stay alive
42
That third one is extra complicated due to the return of their
Rivals, who were converted on the bridge. They should
reunite for a final battle. As before, we do not provide
datafiles for them as they can be so many different
characters. The default is assumed to be Spider-Man if
Eddie Brock is a hero.
While Appendix B provides a lot of datafiles, I suggest
using Marvel Heroic Roleplaying books, google, Marvel
Plot Points, MHR’s Google Plus, and other venues to find
good datafiles for the hero’s rivals and simply adding the
Poison X powerset found on page 47.
It’s possible that some of the heroes who were at the bridge
have been lost or replaced. If so, I’d suggest replacing them
with Rivals appropriate for the current heroes. If Carnage is
being played by a hero, have Eddie Brock as Venom be one
of the Rivals. Remember, infinite universe.
While the rivals are represented with their datafiles, the
other two goals are represented with the BIG BOMB and
TRAPPED STRANGE assets. The assets start at d4.
During the scene, the heroes can try to raise the assets by
rolling against the Doom Pool. If their effect die is higher
than the Assets current value, they replace it with their effect
die. And, if their effect die is lower, they increase the
Asset’s value by +1 step.
The heroes do not need to stop the rivals to end the scene.
When both the BIG BOMB and TRAPPED STRANGE
assets are at d12, they are both “spent” by the players to end
the event in the heroes favor. The incentive to stop the
Rivals is to even odds and lower the pressure on the heroes.

43
 Even if the Rivals are defeated, however, the battle is not
over. The Rivals are aided by a horde of poisons that
constantly replenishes in size until the heroes are either
taken out or “spend” the assets to end the scene.

Once the heroes spend the assets or are taken out, the scene
ends.

44
 end of venomverse
Right before the bomb goes off and ends it all for the heroes
and poisons alike, Doctor Strange uses the last of his powers
to send everyone back to their home dimensions.
Unsure of their ultimate success, the heroes find themselves
back to where their hooks left off, if any of the original
heroes are left. Dazed, confused, and tired, they find it best
to just continue on with their lives from where they left off.
Unbeknownst to them, Doctor Poison (Doctor Doom) has
survived and returns to his master to report his failure and
loss of Doctor Strange. In the end, his master, Poison
Thanos, simply waves it off as there are other means to
travel the multiverse.
If the Watcher has plans to continue to a sequel event in the
future, it may be best to end on a scene as described above.
If not, best just to end it with the heroes returned home.

45
 What if? Act Three
What if The Venom Resistance Lost At
Poison HQ?
With the pressure on, it’s entirely possible all the heroes can
be taken out during the final battle at Poison HQ. If that
happens, then it really comes down to how the Watcher
wants to play it. We suggest one of the following:
 The Venoms know of their ultimate defeat as Strange
is converted and their bomb is stopped. However,
Strange’s personality survives long enough to send the
survivor’s home. Their escape is short-lived for they
know, in the back of their minds, that the Poisons can
now travel universes and will one day find them again.
 The Venoms are defeated and consumed by the
Poisons. As their personalities fade, they see their utter
failure and know that many other universes will soon
fall to the utter might of the Poison menace.
 The Venoms were able to plant the bomb but not free
Doctor Strange. As such, they go out like heroes. In
their last act of defiance, they all sacrifice themselves
with the bomb’s detonation. They will never know if
their actions here mattered or not, but they know they
gave it their all.
 The Venoms free Strange, but couldn’t detonate the
bomb. With a heavy heart, Strange sends everyone
home. His home universe is lost to ruin and the
Poisons will spread past Earth to consume all of space,
but they cannot spread any further than their own
universe. At least not to the hero’s knowledge.

46
 Appendix A: Poison x powerset
Throughout the Event, characters can be turned into Poisons
and this can lead to the Watcher needing to make a new
datafile. We tried to make it as easy as possible. Whenever
you need to turn someone into a Poison, simply add the
Poison X powerset (shown below) to their datafile.

Appendix C: Hero Datafiles
I’m not going to lie. There isn’t much to work with in this
comic. Even Venom, the main character, is pretty much a
background character.
Making milestones would be a nightmare to a degree where
I’m not even going to bother.
Instead, I suggest taking your favorite hero and adding the
following powerset:

Symbiote
Enhanced Reflexes d8 Enhanced Strength d8 Shapeshifting d8
Superhuman Durability d10 Wall-Crawling d8 Webslinging d8
SFX: Feed Me. Add a d6 to your dice pool for an attack action and step back
highest die in pool by –1. Step up Physical Stress inflicted by +1.
SFX: Grapple. Add d6 and step up the effect die by +1 when inflicting a
complication.
SFX: Multipower. Use two or more Symbiote powers in a single dice pool at -1
step for each additional power.
Limit: Fire and Sonic Weakness. On a fire or sonic based attack, turn any
Symbiote power into a complication and gain 1 PP.
