Synopsis for "Mortal Victory"
This story continues from Spectacular Spider-Man Super Special #1...
Spider-Man, the Scarlet Spider and Venom have teamed up to stop an invasion of Earth by the symbiotes.[Continuity 1] While attempting to shut down a stargate that will bring an invasion force the trio is suddenly attacked by Carnage who has merged with a number of the symbiotes causing him to grow massive in size. While Venom fending off an army of the symbiotic invaders, Spider-Man and the Scarlet Spider are forced to face Carnage on their own. However, what little advantage the two wall-crawler's have quickly ends as Carnage continues absorbing more symbiotes into his body. Although this frees the humans the symbiotes it has enslaved, it makes Carnage even larger and more powerful than before. With the situation growing out of control, the two Spiders leap onto a symbiote ship and recover Venom to make a tactical retreat.
In New York, the streets are overrun by people who have been possessed by the symbiote invaders. There, Mary Jane has boarded up the home she shares with Peter Parker. Armed with a knife, she waits for her husband to return.[Continuity 2] Hearing a noise coming from upstairs, Mary Jane decides to check it out and panics when she sees a symbiote standing in her bathroom. It turns out to be Venom, who has just arrived with the two Spider-Men, seeing his wife in a panic, Spider-Man calms her down. After a quick shower, Peter apologizes for frightening his wife but tells her that they needed to regroup before going back out to try and stop the symbiote invasion. Mary Jane doesn't like this, reminding Peter that he has other responsibilities, namely to their unborn child that she is carrying.[Continuity 3] Peter quiets his wife, admitting that she is right.
Soon, the three men are weighing their options and trying to come up with a way to fight off the invasion. Eddie Brock points out that the symbiotes came to Earth when he separated from his other and it cried out in loneliness. Quickly changing into Venom, Brock thinks that perhaps he can use the symbiote's empathic link to one another to stop the invasion. He thinks that if he can find a way to amplify the signal of this link he can cause enough emotional trauma to shock the aliens into an inert state. When Peter gets up to join Eddie and Ben on this mission, Mary Jane understands when he says he needs to go. They soon arrive at the birth place of Venom, Our Lady of Saints Church, as it holds a powerful emotional connection to both Eddie Brock and his symbiote.[Continuity 4] Spider-Man and the Scarlet Spider then go outside to give Venom the privacy he needs. However, once outside, the pair are surprised to see the massive form of Carnage waiting for them outside.
As the two fight a seemingly futile battle with the massive serial killer, Eddie Brock and his other separate. The agony of rejection, in a place that has such pain to both beings, causes the symbiote to cry out. Its sadness spreads across the empathic link between all the other symbiotes, forcing them to separate from their hosts. While outside, the two Spiders trick Carnage into smashing a fuel tanker, causing a massive explosion. At that same moment, the church is flooded by the invading symbiotes and they merge with both Eddie Brock and his other. That's when Eddie unleashes the full fury of his sorrow upon the creatures. Spider-Man and the Scarlet Spider are briefly tossed around by the flood of symbiotes, but they suddenly disappear as quickly as they appear. Rushing into the church, they discover that there is only Venom left standing. Spider-Man realizes and is horrified that Venom forced all the symbiotes into suicide. However, Venom insists that this was the only way to prevent them from conquering Earth and draining all life from the planet.[Continuity 5] Before they can deal with Venom, he makes them think that Carnage is still standing and while they are distracted, Venom manages to flee.
In the aftermath of the invasion, Cletus Kasady is taken back into custody. Peter Parker and Ben Reilly return to Mary Jane where to begin recovering from the wounds they sustained in battle. While elsewhere, Eddie Brock has renewed faith in the symbiosis he has with his other and vows that now and forever he will always be Venom.
