Powers & Paraphenalia

Strength Level: Greater than that of Venom and Carnage combined and able to lift a maximum of 75 tons.

Powers: In addition to the young symbiote's great strength in comparison to previous generations, Toxin can also manipulate his symbiote half to mimic any type of clothing or create other human disguises.

Abilities: Toxin like his predecessors possesses the ability to stick to walls, and like Carnage creates 'tendrils' rather than webbing from which to swing between buildings. Toxin can also project elongated claws or 'snares' from his costume in the same manner as Carnage.

Equipment: None.

Weapons: None.

Limitations: Interestingly Toxin did not inhabit the same ability to dampen Carnage's in- born symbiote ability to track it's own spawn in the same way that Carnage could to do Venom. It is presumed that Toxin is indebted to the same vulnerability to fire and sonic attacks from which all other symbiotes suffer.

Background

Pat Mulligan was the latest in a long line of Irish NYPD officers, following in the footsteps of his farther and his grandfather before him and his wife Gina was expecting their first child. Later that evening Venom visited Pat to warn him that Carnage would soon show. Before Venom could explain this Spider-man showed and told the Mulligan's to flee. As Pat and his wife were about to escape Carnage arrived knocking Gina down the stairs before grabbing Pat and making an exit. Gina went into labour and Spider-man took her to the hospital. Pat escaped Carnage and over the next week noticed a heightening of his senses and reflexes along with strange voices in his head. Carnage tracked down Pat again, only this time the new symbiote emerged and with its aid Pat was able to fight off Carnage. Pat and the symbiote now called 'Toxin' later hunted Carnage with the intention of slaying their foe, only for Pat realize he did not have the heart for it.

Following this show of morality, Venom decided that Toxin could potentially become a dangerous ally of Spider-man's and as such teamed up with Carnage to kill the creature. Struggling with the murderous desires Toxin presented, Pat decided to focus this energy through the good he could do. Toxin later defeated Venom and Carnage single headedly, saving Spider-man and Black Cat. After these events Pat left home to protect his family. Confiding his old partner Meadows, Pat explained his situation and that he wanted to aid the police and Soon turned in escaped convict King Cobra, following a breakout at Ryker's. After meeting with Spider-man Toxin learnt of, and decided to track Razorfist- an escapee leading a mini crime syndicate, who had huge blades in the place of forearms.

Pat struggled to control the bloodthirsty urges of Toxin and even attempted suicide by jumping in front of a subway train only to be saved by the symbiote. Toxin and Pat came to a deal in which they would each get two hours a day to spend as they pleased. Pat choose to frequent the park that Gina and his new son Eddie visited, and Toxin got to put Pat to sleep for two hours a night provided that the symbiote not commit homicide, arson, or larceny. Due to his affiliation with Pat, Razorfist hospitalised Meadows and later attacked and killed Pat's father. Finally Toxin tackled Razorfist and easily neutralized his threat, removing his blades. Razorfist returned to Ryker's and Pat arranged to meet Gina and explain why he had left her and Eddie.
