Synopsis: The showdown with Fury and Normie Venom.
Comments: Reilly describes himself as having the powers of a demon and the soul of a hero. This is how Darkdevil is usually described in narration. Zarathos' former host, Ghost Rider, is not mentioned, but we get a little nod to him by showing Zarathos riding around on a motorcycle with a flaming skull.
Lois Lane is mentioned. I'm just noting a Superman reference here since I may do a post about all the DC references in the MC2 world I can find.
Normie deciding not to throw the symbiote in the oven reminds me of Aragorn's ancestor Isildur not throwing the Ring into Mount Doom. Both are seemingly seduced by an entity's power. The third Lord of the Rings reference in this three part story arc.
These LotR references are brilliantly observed.
