ID: Eugene "Flash" Thompson (Secret)
History:
A football star at Midtown High School and contemporary of Peter Parker, Flash earned his nickname due to his speed on the field. An aggressive jock who bullied other people, Flash had an adversarial relationship with Peter Parker while supporting Peter's alter ego, Spider-Man. Flash's abusive nature came in turn from an abusive father, and though he clashed with Peter many times, eventually the two became friends. Flash gained independence and grew out of his bullying streak, instead becoming a soldier after college. He married and later divorced Sha Shan, dated Felicia Hardy until he learned she was the Black Cat, returned to war in Iraq and lost both of his legs in an act of valor.

Though he could no longer fight in the Army, a government program called Project: Rebirth 2.0 sought out Flash for his experience and courage. Having acquired the Venom symbiote after Mac Gargan's arrest, they bonded it with Flash, who became the new Venom. Working as an agent for the government and later the Thunderbolts under General Ross, Flash participated in many dangerous missions. He struggled to control the symbiote while put to the test against and alongside other heroes such as Captain America and the Secret Avengers, and even faced Eddie Brock, the original Venom. After bonding completely with the symbiote, Venom moved to Philadelphia to become "The Spider-Man of Philly" and continue to fight the worst battles for good causes.
Personality:
Flash Thompson is a man trying to master his demons. The product of a dysfunctional household, he nevertheless grew into trying to do the right thing. The horrors he saw in war and the struggles of his civilian life left him dealing with PTSD, but Flash Thompson is ever ready to do what his country asks of him and more. Since bonding with the Venom symbiote, he struggles with its alien instincts and his own demons, but he's willing to put himself in harm's way so that innocent people never have to suffer what he has suffered.
Abilities and Resources:
As a decorated soldier and trained boxer, Flash is skilled in combat even without the symbiote. His remarkable courage and cool head help him remain thoughtful and observant even in combat situations. These abilities make him a dangerous soldier both on and off the battlefield. Aaron MacKenzie designed an adaptable "Multi-Gun" for him in Project: Rebirth 2.0, able to be change between different configurations depending on the mission's needs.

Since becoming Venom, Flash has gained the myriad powers provided by the symbiote. He possesses speed and strength that rivals or even exceeds that of Spider-Man, and similar powers in the form of wall-crawling, the ability to produce webbing through the symbiote and even disguise himself as nearly anyone. The symbiote can also produce tendrils, allowing Venom to stretch to great lengths, manipulate objects while keeping his hands free or bind opponents with terrible strength. Possessing its own set of senses and a heightened ability to heal its host, the symbiote does its best to keep Flash alive even during the lethal battles he fights as part of the Thunderbolts.

ID: Norman Osborn (Secret)
History:
Growing up in an abusive home, Norman Osborn suffered from psychological problems well before he became the Green Goblin. Driven to become successful and powerful, he founded Oscorp alongside a brilliant scientist named Mendel Stromm. Eventually he had Stromm removed from his position, and afterward Norman discovered Stromm's greatest work: a chemical formula capable of enhancing the user's strength and intelligence. Osborn completed the experiment, but it came at a cost: his sanity.

Now dangerously unhinged, Osborn adopted a goblin-like Halloween costume. He fashioned some dangerous Halloween-themed gear and called himself the Green Goblin, seeking dominance of New York's criminal empires. He soon crossed paths with Spider-Man, who foiled his plans again and again. Norman became obsessed with destroying Spider-Man, even going so far as to murder Gwen Stacy, Peter's then-girlfriend. In a final climactic battle, Norman brought about his own demise, though the Goblin's ghost would continue to haunt Spider-Man.
Personality:
Norman Osborn is a megalomaniacal man with delusions of grandeur. Despite failure after failure, he sees himself as rightful ruler of New York's criminal underworld and deserving of more success in the business world. He is prone to mood swings and bouts of raving lunacy as a result of the experiment bringing out his latent madness. Vengeful and devious, the Goblin is as crazy as he is dangerous.
Abilities and Resources:
Stromm's enhancement formula granted Norman Osborn superhuman physical abilities and increased his intelligence. As the Green Goblin, he's capable of giving someone like Spider-Man a run for his money. Norman also developed a wide variety of tools to use as the Goblin. The most famous of them is his Goblin Glider, a wicked flying platform that enhances his mobility and lets him terrorize his victims. He also throws a variety of Pumpkin Bombs, from grenades to smoke and gas bombs, and razor-edged boomerangs. His suit features a bulletproof vest and powerful electric blasters built into his gloves.

ID: Aleksei Sytsevich • Base: New York City • Group Affiliations: Sinister Six (formerly)
History:
Once a Russian mafia thug, Aleksei underwent some illegal chemical and radiation experiments in exchange for promises of power. The end result was the fusing of a durable suit of rhino-like armor to his hide, and a tremendous increase in strength. The Rhino, as he was so creatively code-named, went to work for the scientists who recruited him. Attempting to kidnap and ransom John Jameson, son of Daily Bugle publisher J. Jonah Jameson, the Rhino battled Spider-Man in Manhattan. Spider-Man quickly outwitted and outmaneuvered the brute and apprehended him. The Rhino later broke out of imprisonment and battled Spider-Man again several times. The scientists behind his original experiment approached him with an offer to enhance him further with gamma rays, which Aleksei accepted. The experiments were successful and the Rhino grew stronger than ever. He later battled Hulk, Spider-Man, and a variety of other heroes. The Rhino even attempted to go straight for a time, married an immigrant woman named Oksana, and reformed his ways. When Oksana was murdered by a new Rhino, Aleksei donned the mantle again and returned to a life of crime.

Personality:
Aleksei is not an evil man, though has done many criminal things. He is a petty thug given extraordinary muscle, and though he has some sympathy for the downtrodden, he only knows a life of crime. The Rhino is slow-witted and quick to anger, prone to explosive outrages. He has spent his entire life manipulated by one person or another, and sometimes longs for reform. Inevitably, circumstances drag him back into the life.

Abilities & Resources:
The experiments that turned Aleksei into the Rhino bonded to him an armor suit modeled after a rhino's hide. He possesses vast superhuman strength and stamina, and a hide impervious to many weapons. The Rhino can charge, appropriately enough, at high speeds, protected from the devastating impact by his own durability. Living as a mafia thug has made him a brutal street fighter, and he knew how to intimidate his foes even before the experiments transformed him.
