Earth-36250

This future reality came to be as the result of Dylan Brock keeping the Venom symbiote after defeating Meridius at the end of the Venom War.^[1] As the result of this, the symbiotes were hybridized with machinery to become powerful predators. These symbiote-machine hybrids were sent to eradicate Earth,^[2] and in response humanity fought back by launching nukes at the attackers. This counterattack backfired as the symbiote-machines were barely affected while Earth's surface was rendered a nuclear wasteland.^[3] Things got so dire, that even if by some miracle victory could be achieved, not enough people remained for the humanity to survive going forward.^[4]

In a last ditch effort to save the world, Dylan Brock used Doctor Doom's technology to travel back in the past of Earth-616 to change the events that led to this timeline, averting its existence.^[2] He eventually succeeded and was able to separate Venom from his younger self at the crucial moment.^[1] Normally, this would have resulted in the creation of a divergent timeline while the original continued to exist independently, but the use of Doomlock technology allowed time-travelers to truly alter their own past,^[5] and future Dylan vanished from existence as his original timeline ceased to exist.^[1]
