[Marvel] Venom's powers are influenced by Spider-Man, but what if another superhuman had been the 1st host?

The Venom symbiote & its decendants (Carnage, Toxin, Scream, etc.) All display variations of Spider-Man's powers such as webbing, wall crawling, Spider sense as well as enhanced strength, speed & agility)

If Venom's first host had been a different superhuman would it have different powers? Would Carnage & Toxin be different as well? Would its personality be affected?

The personality would always be somewhat similar. Obsessive need to re-connect with the host, with maybe a bit of the host's personality, ie, Venom's haphazard vigilantism and lethal protector schtick that tore up the East Side throughout 2008. The powers, on the other hand, would be different. Let's say, by chance, it hooks up to Captain Marvel at first when she's out fighting in space as she's well to do.

Maybe instead of webs, it gains the ability to absorb energy like she does? It's still addicted to the thrill of her flying, it's still aggressive like she is (to the degree she's aggressive, Carol likes to punch things.)

But what of Captain America? Would it have that same sense of morality that Captain America has? Would it have no real special abilities beyond augmenting strength and endurance? Who can say.

We just know the Venom suit is like a jilted lover towards Spider-Man after he abandoned it about ten years ago. It *really* wanted to re-connect with him at any cost.
