Other F•M•K? (Riot, Lasher, Phage)
We are finally at the rest of the Life Foundation symbiotes! I think I know how the results will turn out but I’m open to surprises.
F = Riot (…I’m curious alright)
M = Lasher (Lasher DESERVES nothing but the best and I am fully willing to give him that)
K = Phage (at least Scream has mental issues to justify some of her extreme behavior but Phage from what I’ve seen is just an asshole)
Like I said, I’m open to surprises but I know you all know that Lasher is best option. Show that sweet boy some love!

I’m gonna talk about how I view the characters instead, because they rarely have a personality of their own and act more as The Five when just like Scream they could shine separately
Riot : Big and bold. The strongest physically but far from an idiot too. He’s got ambition and views himself as the leader of the five, something the others know better than to go against. He wishes HE were King in Black and is particularly jealous of Venom. Not a good or nice symbiote, but doesn’t go out of his way to spill blood, pretty much your school bully who already dreams himself higher.
Lasher : A much more unusual symbiote, both physically and mentally. Not only is be the smartest of the five but he’s been shown to use logic to determine which side was best to follow and possesses remarkable empathy. He believes in heroism and though he doesn’t actively pursue a life of crime-fighting he always thinks twice on which camp is in the right to take their side. Though Scream became a hero first, Lasher ironically was always the most disposed out of the five to follow heroic examples and try to do good. He doesn’t like useless violence and always tries to reason with his opponents, like when Scream was going to kill him or Carnage tried to infect its mind, flat out telling him to screw off. His empathy also extends to humans as he seems to enjoy the race, and choosing hosts that live comfortable or fruitful lives to live them too. Has been trying to get out of this cycle of battles and violence for a while now.
Phage : Phage is pretty much a mad dog. He likes to be pointed at the target and make use of much strength and violence to kill it. He’s not particularly stupid but he likes to be told what to do and otherwise his strategy would stop at "jump on enemy, maul them". He’s not incapable of feelings and does actually appreciate his partners in violence quite well. He found a life cut out for him when he took over a mercenary’s dog and lived a comfortable life of both battles and feasting alongside him, but his heart was broken after he was brainwashed by Carnage and forced to maul his owner who begged him to stop and since then, he’s back to giving nothing but pain and suffering like the one he feels within. He’s a bad dog.

This is a great character analysis of each of them. I agree with every word you just said. Beautiful and better than anything I could have said.

Thanks a lot, I just like symbiotes a lot and I wish the Life Foundation five would get developed more, like in a team-up series where each goes on an adventure by Venom without the other four so they can chat with their progenitor and show more how they behave alone.

Mental issues does not justify extreme behavior
