* Partway into [[Creator/AlEwing Al Ewing's]] ''[[ComicBook/{{Venom|2021}}]]'' run, a temporally displaced Eddie finds himself bouncing through time until he ends up in the far future. There, he runs into ComicBook/KangTheConqueror, who warmly greets him as if they're old friends. When Eddie points out that he and Kang have never met, and that Eddie doesn't even know who he is beyond "some bad guy ComicBook/TheAvengers fight sometimes", a bemused Kang chuckles that this must be their first meeting from Eddie's perspective and apologizes for the confusion; from ''Kang's'' perspective, they've known one another for years.
