The Amazing Spiderman movie has many similarities with the Ultimate Marvel Universe. A Venom movie has also been announced and is rumoured to tie-in to the The Amazing Spiderman in a way similar to that of The Marvel Cinematic Universe. A video game taking place in The Amazing Spiderman Universe was released set shortly after the events of the movie (and yes it will lead up to the sequel, unlike most video game adaptations such as Green Lantern: Rise Of The Manhunters that have little to do with the movie and will probably be ignored in any possible film sequels). In the video game, one of the villains was Scorpion. His origin was Dr. Otto Octavious (Dock Ock in the comics), a scientist at Oscorp, working on Cross Species Genetics (the program responsible for most of the villains in the Universe so far, such as The Lizard, Rhino, and Iguana), decided to cross human DNA with a Scorpion, only he added something new. The venom symbiote. All three created the villain known as scorpion. In Ultimate Spiderman comics, Peters father was working on the symbiote with Eddie Brocks (Venom) father as a cure for desease. In the comics, Peter also becomes friends with his ex-bully, Flash Thompson, who later joins the army. In the army, Flash loses his legs, and is given the Venom Symbiote and becomes Agent Venom, working for the government (as seen below). So we know that it can replace limbs. In the movie, we know Dr. Curt Conners is working to grow his one missing arm back through Cross Species Genetics at Oscorp, which leads to him becoming the Lizard. We also know that he worked with Peters parents and he said,"Your father and I were going to change the lives of millions. Including mine." So hears the theory. What if Peters parents were scientists at Oscorp, working with Conners on the Venom Symbiote as a cure for desease and as a substitute for missing limbs. And Dr. Octavious later found the symbiote and used it for Scorpion. Agree or disagree? I will be happy to read your opinions in the comments.
