Hey, can we talk about Sleeper for a hot second?

I mean LOOK AT THIS LIL GOO BOI

LOOK AT ‘IM

I know that The Nativity and First Host are kind of old news, but I just wanted to give some appreciation to the youngest spawn. This squishy babe is speculated to be one of, if not the most powerful symbiotes in the Marvel 616 Universe. He’s just the cutest, deadly little goo. (his chemokinesis truly is the coolest thing) Best of all, he took host in a Kree warrior by force, as an infant. What a fucking powerhouse.

I personally think the Sleeper symbiote story arc has one of the best examples of Eddie and Venom’s relationship in the modern comics. Sleeper’s birth not only strengthened Symbrock’s bond as lovers, but added a more nurturing aspect to it as well. Before Sleeper, Eddie never helped raise or influence the symbiote’s other spawn, which evidently led them down the path of monstrous villainy. Sleeper was the first baby that Eddie really tried to father and protect, simply because Venom expressed concerns about shaping their baby’s future into something brighter. He was ready, willing, and able to support and care for his Other and their offspring, no matter what happened. That’s wholesome love, and I’m really here for it. Before long, both of them were basking in the pride of parenthood, gushing to civilians about Sleeper and his developments. 

Also, the fact that Sleeper’s just so powerful??? And that he only ends up leaving home to explore space because he was mesmerized by the beauty he’d seen in his Kree host’s mind??? And he looks like this???

Sleeper is such a badass rebellious teen and honestly, I wish that he’d had more of a childhood. The bonding moments between Sleeper and his dads were so sweet, and it really made Eddie’s love and support for Venom shine.
