What If Mary Jane Watson Bonded With Venom?

Exploring a Symbiote theory that has never actually happened to Peter Parker's love interest in the comics or films

Many characters across the Marvel Universe have crossed paths with Venom, and some have even been shown hosting the Symbiote. But one major Spider-Man figure who has never bonded with the parasite is Mary Jane Watson.

Whether MJ and Venom could bond effectively is something I can only theorize about. Considering that MJ loves Peter, it would probably make things quite interesting and complicated. What changes would the Symbiote make to her? Would she wreck havoc on the scene as an actress and model?

MJ has however hosted a different parasite before. In the Ultimate Spider-Man animated series, she became a host to Carnage, taking on the identity of Queen Carnage. Across that three part storyline, MJ created an entire hive of super intelligent Symbiotes before eventually breaking free and destroying Carnage with help from Peter, Harry, and Flash.

So while Venom and MJ has never happened, Carnage and MJ already has, at least in animation.
