Venom is a character from the Marvel Comics universe who has been adapted to the big screen in the film of the same name released in 2018. Venom is an alien symbiote that bonds with journalist Eddie Brock, giving him superhuman abilities and an alternate personality.
When Eddie Brock bonds with Venom, he becomes a powerful and resilient being with superhuman physical abilities, including incredible strength, endurance, agility and speed. Venom can also regenerate damaged body parts, making him very difficult to kill.
Venom's personality is a key part of his character, as the symbiote has a voice of his own and often has an internal dialogue with Eddie Brock. Although he sometimes fights Brock for control of his body, Venom generally acts as a protector of his host and those whom Eddie loves.
Venom's story in the film follows Eddie Brock as he confronts tycoon Carlton Drake and his corporation, who have acquired alien symbiotes to conduct experiments on humans. The film shows how Eddie Brock and Venom team up to fight Drake's threat and how their relationship as host and symbiote develops.
Groot is a character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MFCU) who is also part of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Groot is an extraterrestrial being who belongs to the Flora colossus species, a race of arboreal humanoids capable of regenerating and controlling their own plant bodies. In the UCM films, Groot is portrayed as loyal and brave, yet innocent and sometimes childlike in nature. Groot has a very distinctive personality and his vocabulary is limited to the phrase "I am Groot", although other characters seem to be able to understand his meaning based on context and intonation. Groot possesses superhuman strength and stamina thanks to his wooden body, as well as the ability to regenerate and grow his limbs at will. He can also throw sharp spines and control the vegetation around him. Throughout the UCM films, Groot plays an important role in the fight against the forces of evil, even sacrificing himself to save his friends on one occasion. After his sacrifice, a new Groot is born from a branch, meaning the character is essentially immortal.
