Our Lady of Saints Church

Our Lady of Saints Church is a fictional location featured in comic books published by Marvel Comics. It is part of the mainstream Marvel Universe and is associated with the Spider-Man line of comic titles.

Out Lady of Saints Church is located in the borough of Manhattan in New York City, New York. For a time, Peter Parker had replaced his traditional red and blue Spider-Man costume with a black and white one, which made of an alien substance that he acquired on Battleworld. He eventually discovered that the costume was in fact a parasite that attempted to bond with him - permanently. Spider-Man fought against the parasite, and found that it could be harmed with sound waves. He went to Our Lady of Saints Church and used the sound from the church bells to drive the creature away from him. Peter thought that the entity had died, but in fact, it just remained hidden in the shadows - patiently awaiting a fresh host.

It didn't have to wait for very long. A disgraced reporter named Eddie Brock came to the church and the symbiote bonded with him. Eddie willingly allowed the bonding to take place, and he became the revenge-driven villain known as Venom. Brock blamed Spider-Man for his fall from grace, and as such, wanted to destroy him.

Venom baited Spider-Man into tracking him down back to the place where it all began - the church. Venom defeated Spider-Man in battle, then used a large volume of webbing to secure himself inside one of the bell clappers. He was convinced that the striking of the bells would crush Spider-Man to death. Spider-Man managed to free himself and used a sonic blaster to defeat Venom.
