Fictional character biography

Trevor Cole was a mercenary who worked for a sinister corporation called the Life Foundation. The Foundation was preparing for the M.A.D. fallout of the Cold War and sought to provide a comfortable life for their wealthy clients after the impending nuclear holocaust. The Life Foundation was experimenting with the Venom symbiote in the hopes of developing superhuman peacekeepers to watch over their imagined fallout shelter utopia.

Riot and its siblings were defeated by Venom and Spider-Man in "", Riot artificially aged to dust and it's host presumed destroyed in a massive explosion.

However, the Life Foundation symbiotes survived. In the miniseries "Venom: Separation Anxiety", Trevor and the others broke Eddie Brock out of prison and kidnapped him in a last ditch effort to communicate with their alien "others".

Riot was killed by Scream with a sonic knife.

Riot then, having survived, combined with all his siblings (except Carnage and Scream) to form the new antihero called Hybrid.

Powers and abilities

Riot possesses all the powers the original Venom has, including suit generated webbing, shape-shifting, superstrength, can expel a potent acid from his suit, and the ability to be Undetected by Spider-Man's "spider-sense". Unlike his fellow symbiotes, Trevor doesn't like to use his tendrils to form blades or spikes, but prefers to create bludgeoning weapons like hammers and maces.

Video games

Riot appeared in the Sega Genesis and SNES video game "". He is the second boss, and the first symbiote boss overall. He reappears several levels later teamed up with Scream. Overall, Riot is fairly difficult for a symbiote boss, as his jumping kick covers a large distance and is often done from offscreen.
