I recently saw a new Spider-Man figure of a character who seemed familiar, but whom I didn't know anything about. So tell me...who or what the is Toxin?

In my own opinion, Marvel's desperate second grab at kids who bought comics when they were young because they liked the covers, never really got into them past the Fox Kids cartoons, but seem to think Gambit, Venom, and Carnage are the end all of Marvel's great creations.
In fact, he's the offspring of Carnage.

The cop is now trying to keep the symbiote under control and do some good with it’s powers, something that seems to be working due to the symbiote’s naivety (he’s still very young) and the host strong sense of right and wrong. It’s basically good Venom done right. So now we have good Toxin and Evil Venom… and Carnage is dead. Was the figure a costume BTW? I would love a Toxin figure but I doubt his total of 10 appearances would get him one.

File me under the minority who didn't start screaming for Venom the minute the first Spiderman movie was over. There is such thing as too much symbiote, and they were not the best things Marvel's come up with. Not by a long shot. His ten appearances warranted this:

That's really cool... but there are many characters who deserve a figure first. I haven't liked Venom for years but I do love the fact they scrapped the whole "Lethal Protector" thing and turned him evil again.
