When Venom defeats Riot, he becomes the “last symbiote standing.”

In the Venom universe, there is no confirmed “last man standing on Earth.” The story does not show humanity being wiped out.

Here is the clarity:

1️⃣ In Venom

The conflict is between:

Eddie Brock

The symbiote Venom

Villain Carlton Drake

Alien symbiote Riot

Earth is threatened, but it is saved. Humanity continues normally.

---

2️⃣ In Venom: Let There Be Carnage

The focus is on:

Cletus Kasady

Symbiote Carnage

Again, no global destruction happens.

---

3️⃣ In Marvel Comics

In some alternate universes or apocalyptic comic storylines, symbiotes can overrun Earth. But even there, there is no single officially declared “last man on Earth” in the main Venom storyline.

---

Conclusion

There is no “last man standing on Earth” in the Venom movie universe. The planet is never destroyed, and humanity survives.

In the Venom and Venom: Let There Be Carnage, the phrase “last man standing” is not literal (it does not mean only one human is alive on Earth).

It means:

🔹 1️⃣ The Final Survivor in a Fight

The person who remains alive after everyone else in a battle is defeated.

In Venom’s context, it usually refers to:

Eddie Brock surviving against enemies

Or Venom defeating other symbiotes like Riot or Carnage

---

🔹 2️⃣ The One Who Overcomes All Opposition

It can symbolize dominance — the strongest remaining force after chaos.

For example:

When Venom defeats Riot, he becomes the “last symbiote standing.”

When Eddie survives against Carnage, he is the “last man standing” in that conflict.

---

🔹 3️⃣ Emotional or Psychological Survival

Sometimes it means:

The one who keeps going when others give up.

The one who mentally survives destruction, fear, or loss.

---

🔹 Simple Meaning

Last man standing = The one who survives and wins after everyone else falls.

It is about resilience, endurance, and final victory, not extinction of humanity.
