Eugene "Flash" Thompson is a fictional character appearing in American

comic books published by Marvel Comics. He is a star high school

football player who mercilessly bullies his high school classmate

Peter Parker but greatly admires Spider-Man, an irony in which the

superhero takes some gratification. In time, they become close friends

in college after Flash matures and he later discovers Peter is

Spider-Man. After graduation, he joins the United States Army, but

becomes haunted by his combat experiences, leading to alcoholism.

After losing both of his legs in the war, he turns into the superhero

Agent Venom after being bound to the Venom symbiote, which he controls

via drugs. Eventually during an argument between him and Eddie Brock

regarding the Venom symbiote, he became the new host of the Anti-Venom

symbiote.The character has appeared in several other media adaptations

(usually in his earlier bullying incarnation). In film, he was

portrayed by Joe Manganiello in Spider-Man and Spider-Man 3, Chris

Zylka in The Amazing Spider-Man and The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and Tony

Revolori in the Marvel Cinematic Universe films Spider-Man: Homecoming

and Spider-Man: Far From Home.Created by writer Stan Lee and artist

Steve Ditko, Flash Thompson first appeared in Amazing Fantasy #15

(August 1962), the same issue Spider-Man first appeared in. He was a

regular character in The Amazing Spider-Man series for its first four

years, leaving the cast in The Amazing Spider-Man #47 (April 1967) to

serve in the Vietnam War. Though he reappeared in the comic a few

times while on leave, he did not return to the regular cast until

issue #105 (Feb. 1972).Though the relationship between Flash Thompson

and Spider-Man's alter ego Peter Parker gradually became more cordial

over the years, the major turning point towards their becoming friends

was in The Amazing Spider-Man #138 (Nov. 1974), in which Thompson lets

Parker room with him after all his other friends and acquaintances

turned him away.
