History
Eddie Brock was once Peter's childhood friend. Their families were close and they grew up together. Their mothers were best friends, and their fathers were business partners. One day, the four of them went to a conference in Queens and died in a plane crash. Eddie and Peter developed a fraternal relationship and often addressed each other affectionately as "bro." During high school, Eddie protected Peter from bullies like Flash Thompson. He apparently was also a popular quarterback.

After his graduation, Brock enrolled in the Empire State University, and so as to support his tuition he got a job as Dr. Curt Connors' personal lab assistant.
