Hybrid (Scott Washington) is a fictional anti-hero of the Marvel Universe. He first appeared in a back-up story in the Venom: Along Came A Spider miniseries.
Fictional character biography
Scott Washington was one of the Guardsmen involved in guarding and transporting Justice, who had been arrested and sentenced to The Vault for killing his father.[volume & issue needed]
Hybrid is the amalgamation of four of the Life Foundation Symbiotes - whose hosts were killed by Scream - into a single symbiote entity. The fused symbiote then sought out Scott Washington, an African-American man who was a Guardsman at the Vault (the prison for supervillains) lab facility. While guarding the symbiotes, he realized that they were not evil, not a threat, and the experiments were causing them terrible pain, so he let them go. When his superiors discovered that Scott had released the aliens he was supposed to guard he was fired. He returned to the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, the gang-torn neighborhood in which he grew up. Following a basketball court scuffle with members of the Eazy X gang, Scott and his brother, Derek, were shot, Derek was killed while Scott became crippled, losing the use of his legs.[volume & issue needed]
The four symbiotes afterwards located Scott and bonded with him, which resulted in Scott regaining the ability to walk, and more since Scott has a lot of anger, so often the symbiotes hold him back from acts of violence, not the other way around. Since his symbiote was originally four different entities, Scott has to contend with four different voices / personalities in his head besides his own.[volume & issue needed] As Hybrid, Scott got revenge on the Eazy Xs, the gang that had crippled him. He began to get a lot of press attention, and while most of the publicity was positive, it drew the attention of The Jury. He was captured by these self-appointed guardians of justice, who would have executed him just for being a symbiote, but he was rescued by the New Warriors. Scott was a former co-worker of Curtis Elkins (Sentry) and other members of The Jury. Justice offered him membership in the group, but Scott declined, citing more important work to do in his home neighborhood.[volume & issue needed]
Scott was considered as a "potential recruit" for the Initiative program.[1]
Hybrid is also mentioned at the conclusion of the first issue of Carnage USA, along with Venom, Anti-Venom, Toxin, and his sister Scorn, as being the next option to stop Carnage's rampage in the Mid-west after the Avengers are defeated.[2]
Powers and abilities
Like Spider-Man and Venom, Hybrid has wall-crawling and web-slinging abilities, he can form his symbiote into pseudopodia or tendrils creating snares and bladed weapons. The symbiote also has camouflage abilities and can blend in with its surroundings. It can mimic clothing. Hybrid has a border-line warning sense and can "see" through his symbiote. He possesses some degree of superhuman strength, can detach a piece of his symbiote to send messages to his friends and allies, and can shape his symbiote to form a membrane that allows him to glide through the air. Hybrid's suit can also absorb chemicals, such as Spider-Man's synthetic webbing.
Like most of his other symbiote counterparts such as Venom and Carnage, Hybrid has superhuman stength. When Hybrid bonded to Scott Washington, he regained his ability to walk again which he had lost during a gang fight.
