I assume you're referring to Venom?

He wasnt really a 'Villain' per se in the Classical sense, what made Venom really cool was that he was an 'Anti-Hero.'

He was the hero of his own story and in his own way. He didnt follow the classical hero archetype, he would fight 'bad guys' but in his own way and without the normal restrictions that heroes typically limit themselves with.

And he hated Spiderman, who is a character that does follow and abide by normal hero stereotypes and tropes which made Venom even cooler because heres this character that considers himself a hero but is just over the top violent and who absolutely hates this wholesome goody-two-shoes stereotypical hero that most fans love.
