In an interview withSYFY Wirefrom 2018 - which has since been removed from the site - Mark Bagley discussed his work onVenom : First Hostand his previous symbiote - related works . When asked"Any stories from the initial design procedure impart on the cutting off room floor?“Bagley note a symbiote that was meant to be infantile - therefore very gooey and vague . Unfortunately , this kind of character had already been created by DC for theBatman Beyondanimated series villain Inque . Regarding the precise design , Bagley states :
I must ’ve done a dozen sketches and I did n’t have a single one I liked . essentially , it was just a kind of black physique , kind of open . No literal musculus tone and just kind of a promiscuous figure . Like it ’s an baby , unformed , with a big white spot on its face . Apparently , it looked just like some reference from Batman Beyond [ a character squall Inq . ] , the TV show , which I ’d never hear . They sent me a picture of it , and I was like " Cot dammit ! " [ express mirth ] . I did n’t really have to draw it for like a calendar month or two in the actual book . By the time came it came metre to draw it , I state I ca n’t do that . It ’s a terrible piece .
Inque is a villain that Terry McGinnis faces early in the animise series , Batman Beyond , which aired from 1999 to 2001 . She is a shapeshifter thanks to her liquid form , whichishighly remindful of Marvel ’s symbiotes . In her fluid cast , Inque look on the button like Bagley ’s description . She is liquified black with a round white place on her face , although she also has a human chassis she can look in . Like Marvel ’s symbiotes , she is humanoid and able-bodied to aline her smooth form into alternate form , turning herself into various weapons . give Bagley nearly duplicated her form twenty years after her first show , her design stands as a rather just one - even if it is n’t a form DC is known for . in the end , the seventh spawn of the Venom symbiote would be Sleeper , who still blow an awesome ( and unique ) purpose .
The symbiote form across Venom ’s family is rather standard , though each has a delineate characteristic to aid them digest out . Scream has long hair she can apply as a artillery , Agony can spew acid , and Lasher has tentacles along his back . Inque does n’t have these extra ability , and her conception would have made her a rather generic symbiote at first ( though that was the point of the design . ) at last , Mark Bagleywas capable to produce something unique inVenom ’s symbiote son , Sleeper , leavingInquetoBatman Beyond .
