Carlton Drake

"Look at the world. What do you see? War, a poverty a planet on the brink of collapse. I would agree that God has abandoned us." - Carlton Drake, Venom (2018)

Carlton Drake was the founder and the CEO of the Life Foundation, who came into contact with a race of extraterrestrial lifeforms, calling them Symbiotes.

Once Drake had began experimenting symbiotes on numerous people, he went under legal lawsuits that took attention from Eddie Brock. Getting interviewed, Drake was accused of murder from Eddie claims, resulting into him being kicked out of the building. Drake would continued to experiment in order to seek a higher lifeform, believing man and symbiote was the next step of evolution, only to notice one of his symbiotes were stolen by Eddie, leading to him searching.

Once his men found Eddie, Drake would ultimately bonded with a symbiote, Riot. Having no use for Eddie, Drake continued to launch a rocket to space that led to more symbiotes, only to be stopped by Venom and being killed alongside Riot once Venom destroyed the rocket.
