===Weapon V===
Weapon V was originally believed to have been performed on ethnic people,<ref>''New X-Men'' #130 (October 2002)</ref> but then during the Vietnam War, then [[S.H.I.E.L.D]] sponsored program under the pseudonym of Sym-soldier used pieces of the ancient [[Symbiote (comics)|symbiote]] named [[Grendel (Marvel Comics)|Grendel]] and bonded them to various able bodied operatives to fight in the conflict. However, the program was shut down after said enhanced specimens were driven mad by their second skins, having later been captured by [[Nick Fury]] and Logan.<ref>''Venom'' (vol. 4) #1-5 (July - October 2018)</ref><ref>''Web of Venom: Ve'nam'' one-shot (October 2018)</ref>
When the government got hold of the [[Venom (Marvel Comics character)|Venom symbiote]], they decided to use it as part of Weapon V under the name of Project Rebirth 2.0 to create a new soldier with symbiote augmentation. They bonded the suit to former veteran [[Flash Thompson]] which resulted in the creation of Agent Venom.<ref>''Amazing Spider-Man'' #654 (April 2011)</ref>

Project Rebirth 2.0 is later shut down by Captain America.<ref>{{cite web |last1=West |first1=Scott |date=December 10, 2011 |title=Comic Book Review: ''Venom'' #10 |url=https://sciencefiction.com/2011/12/10/comic-book-review-venom-10/ |access-date=June 14, 2019 |website=Science Fiction.com}}</ref>

The project would resume behind closed doors under the Weapon + director William Junger's supervision. Supplanting volunteers from a mercenary unit hailing out of Eaglestar International as waiting test subjects for virochemically neutered symbiote samples. The Klyntar used would purposely have their hive link severed so that the presence behind their proginator wouldn't irrevocably madden its hosts. But it was again put on ice when the demiurgically anointed [[Carnage (character)|Dark Carnage]] went on a killing spree, collecting & harvesting Klyntar derived codex samples from the project, Mars Team and its supervisor Dr. Breen. Whom offered himself and what remains of the symbiote clad armorines in willing sacrifice to Knull's chosen after being corrupted by the Grendel samples he'd used on himself.<ref name="Absolute Carnage: Weapon Plus #1">''Absolute Carnage: Weapon Plus'' one-shot (January 2020)</ref>
