Connor in the Terror Symbiote
Terror is a character existing within the marvel universe, presently residing in New York. His real name is Connor, though he has never disclosed his last name.
History[]
Connor came to New York after he was evicted from his home by his Father and Step-Mother. Initially struggling, Connor eventually received help from Tony Stark after displaying a deep understanding of the Arc Reactor after a single look. Receiving a scholarship, Connor managed to rent a small apartment and studied hard.
However, Connor then came into contact with the Toxin Symbiote when he was on his way to university and lost control of it, going on something of a rampage until the combined efforts of Edward Brock and War Machine manage to separate Connor from the Symbiote.
However, Connor was left scarred by his contact with the Symbiote and began seeking them out actively. Eventually, the Toxin symbiote produced another Symbiote that found Connor and bonded with him, forming Slayer. Due to the Symbiotes youth, Connor manage to retain control of himself and form a semi-stable bond with it.
While experimenting with the Symbiotes capabilities, Connor came into conflict first with Mac Gargan and then Wade Pryce, the prior seeking Connor's symbiote and the latter on a mission to kill the prior. During the battle, Connor managed to overpower Gargan and escaped, despite receiving minor injuries.
As life went on, Connor began to form a relationship with a girl called Alfimi Thompson, the positive feelings angering the Symbiote greatly. Connor would often awaken the next morning bruised and battered, though with no recollection of how he received these injuries. He often found his mood shifting to a darker, more hostile manner, which began to drive those close to him further away. Seeking help, Connor approached Peter Parker (in the guise of Spider Man) for advice. Connor then had James Rhodes separate the Slayer Symbiote from Connor and isolate it.
Just as Edward Brock before him, the symbiote left traces of itself in Connor's bloodstream. However, it was when Mac Gargan attacked Alfimi at her workplace that stimulated these leftover fragments to bond with Connor on a cellular level, forming a new grey and white symbiote, creating Terror. Battling with Gargan, Connor drove off his enemy without revealing his identity to Alfimi. Realizing the need for protectors of the weak, Connor chose the name Terror for his new alter-ego and vowed to "Bring Terror upon the unjust to shield the weak".
