Randy Schueller's Ink Bottle

Origin
Comic book reader Randy Schueller came up with the idea of a new villain to battle Spiderman who was the reverse of him wearing a black and white spider suit. Since he was a huge fan when Marvel reached out to him he gladly accepted the offer buy the character from him. Schueller's idea cost Marvel $220.00 then was modified to look more like Venom than Spiderman.

Effects
It wasn't until Venom made his first appearance did Schueller realize that he could have held out for so much more. His anger, feeling of betrayal and embarrassment went into the ink he used to draw the concept sketches. The money came with a promise to reach back out to him if the character took off. Nothing came from it so Schueller put all of his drawing tools away in a storage locker, forgetting about it.
