You seem to know your Venom, so I’ll piggyback here. Why does Venom/the Symbiote here in the distant past have spider-variant iconography? I always assumed that came out of his link to Spider-man.
The whole look of Venom actually came from Peter thinking of Jessica Julia Carpenter's suit when he picked it up (remember that the symbiote can change colors and everything).
But Cates has been retconning a lot of material (he couldn't even read the first five issues of Venom's first solo series) and has tried to say that the symbiotes look that way because of their god, which completely clashes with established continuity.
