Character history
He is the amalgamation of four of the Life Foundation Symbiotes (Riot, Phage, Lasher, and Shriek)- who's hosts were killed by Scream-into a single symbiote entity. The fused symbiote then sought out Scott Washington, an African-American man who while stationed to guard them in a lab facility at the Vault (the prison for supervillains) realized that they were not evil, not a threat, and the experiements were causing them terrible pain, so he let them go. When his superiors discovered that Scott had released the aliens he was supposed to guard he was demoted down to being a beat cop in a gang-torn neighborhood. He was shot and crippled in the course of duty, losing the use of his legs.
When the symbiote bonded with him, he regained the ability to walk, and so much more. Scott has a lot of anger, and according to him, it is often the symbiotes that hold him back from acts of violence, not the other way around.
He went after the gang that hurt him. He was later captured by the Guardsmen who would have killed him just for being a symbiote, but he was rescued by the New Warriors. He joined them soon after. He feels its his duty to prove that not all symbiotes are evil.
Powers and abilities
Like Spider-man and Venom, Hybrid has wall-crawling and web-slinging abilities, he can form his symbiote into psedopodia or tendrils creating bladed weapons. Hybrid has a border-line warning sense and can "see" through his symbiote. He can lift around 30-35 tons. He can also detach a piece of his symbiote to send messages to his friends and allies, and he can shape his symbiote to form a membrane that allows him to glide through the air.
