The Book of Venom (Flash Thompson) (Agent Venom)

Name on the card is a mistake. (Look at the SP or the power text on the card)

Johnny was questioning the logic of going with 'Agent Venom' as the name over 'Venom', though, and we've got to update the art anyway, so I was just polling it out to see if there was a preference to switch it all over to Venom (in which case the book title would presumably be The Book of Venom (Agent Venom) or what-have-you).

Gotcha. That's what I get for skimming. Carry on - I'm a bit muddled after catching up on 40+ threads today.

2-0 in favor of just "Venom" so far. Any other opinions?

I’d like to put in a write-in vote for calling him Johnny Rutabagas.

[Ronin]

I think Johnny Rutabaga would be better... the rutabaga was a recurring Venom motif, but he never appeared with more than one at a time.

Sentiment was in favor of just going "Venom" here and I've decided I'm also in favor of that, after several months of contemplation during which I did not forget about this even a little bit.

I've rebranded the OP and SP accordingly. Put (Agent Venom) in the title of the book because I do hope to also have Venom (Flash Thompson) (Space Knight) some day.

@Arkham no rush (we've got till September), but if you get a minute, the power text needs an update.

Thanks Ark!

Two quick notes on the SI here, Ark:
1) our only other card with the middle-name-in-quotes thing (Capt. Boomerang) uses the straight-up-and-down style of quotes and not the curly ones. Could we mimic that here?
2) there's a typo in the name - the 's' and 'p' in 'Thompson' have been transposed.

Powers check looks good.

EPB cleared. I teresting to read the discussion on 1v1 tests, since that’s a practice that’s been (mostly) discontinued nowadays.
