Anne Weying is a human legal professional in Marvel Comics and in Sony's Spider-Man Universe films who, on rare occasions, becomes a temporary host for the alien Venom symbiote and assumes the narrative identity "She-Venom." Her bonded episodes grant her the abilities associated with Venom but are depicted in the cited sources as temporary narrative events rather than a separate folkloric species.

Origin

Anne Weying is introduced in Marvel Comics as a human lawyer and the ex-wife of Eddie Brock; in the comics she is shot by the antagonist Sin-Eater and the Venom symbiote temporarily bonds with her to heal her injuries (The Amazing Spider-Man #375 and related Venom issues). In film continuity (Sony's Spider-Man Universe) she is Eddie Brock's ex-fiancée/ex-wife who briefly bonds with Venom during emergency confrontations (Venom (2018); Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021)). The supplied sources treat these events as narrative plot points within comic and film continuities rather than as a mythic origin from traditional folklore.

Appearance

As an unbonded human, sources describe Anne as a professional lawyer/district attorney; fan compilations provide additional personal statistics but the canonical material emphasizes her role and professional appearance. When bonded she is described in sources as temporarily becoming She-Venom — inheriting the visual conventions of the Venom symbiote as depicted in comics and films (the black symbiotic form associated with Venom). Specific canonical visual details of her bonded form vary by medium and are described only in the context of the Venom symbiote's established appearance.

Abilities

When bonded to the Venom symbiote Anne is depicted as gaining the abilities attributed to that symbiote in the cited sources: rapid healing (used to save her after being shot), enhanced strength and combat capability, and the potential for violent loss of control. Sources recount narrative incidents where the symbiote heals her injuries and she temporarily acts with lethal force until Eddie Brock forces the symbiote to return to him. As an unbonded human she functions as a lawyer and supporting character in the narratives.
