In the Marvel superhero movie Venom: The Last Dance, protagonist Eddie Brock, together with his symbiotic alien Venom, face their fiercest opponent: the creator of all symbiotes, Knull. Already on the run from earthly forces, the duo now finds themselves pursued by the cosmic supervillain, whose immense power poses an existential threat.
The Knull possesses the ability to control darkness, create and manipulate symbiotes, and forge powerful weapons like the Necrosword. As the god of the abyss, he commands a vast hive mind of symbiote agents, allowing him to control them across great distances. His mastery over symbiotes enables him to enhance their powers, creating living weapons and spreading his influence throughout the universe.
