"Kinner's the one who had the idea to recruit him. He says that Venom isn't serious about eating him - but I can't say anything about Venom's sense of humor." Palmer's one for dropping bad jokes, but he doesn't joke about eating people. "I trust his judgement more than mine, at least about stuff like this. Venom's like me. He just likes messin' with people."

While Palmer hasn't met Venom, he knows a little about him. "You know, I'm pretty sure Venom would be offended if you suggested he'd swap sides. He can be a jerk, but I think he's on humanity's side. I'm not sure if he'd be able to eat the Thing, but he's not its friend, I'll say that much." Palmer wonders if the two creatures are something similar, but he won't ask.
