Hrm, I dunno. Venom doesn't usually get so much credit in just about any version of the story I've seen. Not in the various cartoon/TV/movie incarnations, not in Ultimate Spidey (dude, Ultimate Spider-Man the game makes him deliciously malevolent), et al. I realize that's not canon, as-he-was-first-conceived Venom, but there has to be something about Venom as he was presented originally that's let it resonate with that characterization in later works (perhaps all writers since have just been lazy--which is entirely possible).
As for Doom, meh to him. I still can't call up any interest. Then again, the FF folk have never been very interesting to me. I've read a few select bits (JMS had an interesting short run on the main title that was good) and some of Ultimate, but I just can't get enthused about their stuff.
