Teddy Payne / Agony

Doctor Teddy Paine is a scientist who became interested in extraterrestrial life after the death of her twin brother and the host of the symbiote known as Agony. Joining the United States Armed Forces, Paine worked under General Rex Strickland, whom she helped research the symbiotes at Area 51, but knowing of the threat of Knull, Paine learned of the Codex and allied herself with Eddie Brock/Venom to stop the Xenophages. After the destruction of Area 51, Paine took a vial of the symbiote, becoming Agony's host and saving her friend and colleague, Sadie Christmas, noting that her childhood wound was healed.
