The symbiote is a black goo that chooses a host and becomes dual. So basically when you hear venom speak of we or us, he doesn't mean him and spiderman but him and said host, which at one point was peter Parker!
The character venom was created after marvel purchased the black spidey suit idea from a man in Illinois for 220$ ya...I know what you are thinking, where I can I send in costume ideas!?? :p
Contrary to popular belief, spiderman was taken to a distant planet by the beyonder and chose a machine that was said to be Capablenof reading your thoughts, it was probably not the correct machine but certainly gave him something useful, a suit, this suit could be any type of clothing, provide him with stronger and limitless webbing as well as hide itself from others. Parker gets the substance from the suit looked at by reed Richards who tells him it is trying to permanently bond with him as a host, Parker uses a churchc bell to rid his body of the symbiote since it is weakened by sonic waves.
How did it get to Eddie Brock? Well, after Parker ruined his career by not being the evil spiderman Brock was trying to make everyone think he was; he was falling down in life and ended up at a church trying to find the answer. When symbiote left spiderman, it found Brock.
Eventually the suit aids Brock in his life as a vigilante who, like the punisher sought captial punishment as vengeance. This led to a series of team ups of venom and spiderman.
Eddie Brock actually goes back to the symbiote planet and becomes captive by the symbiotic aliens on battleworld since he is deemed insane and they do not want Brock's symbiote contaminating the larger gene pool. The symbiote was supposed to use up the host, not commit to it.
The symbiotic suit eventually takes on Mac graham a.k.a scorpion as a host for awhile as well until he needs it removed because of control loss.
Then flash Thompson becomes hired by the gov't to wear the suit and run operations, the suit can now be controlled on an off with anti-venom and other technological breakthroughs.
After him there are a series of venoms, one being the canonical "bride of venom" which is ann weying. Other venoms chose to be venom, this included a plot where Brock sold the symbiote at a super villian auction and where a mafia capo makes up for his petit size by obtaining this dangerous suit.
From there well, you have many fights and many venoms, but most importantly, comes Cletus kassidy. Oh yes, carnage.
Cheers!
