The problem is, she wasn't a cameo in the stories mentioned she was a key player in the era who had a personal relationship with Venom from the moment he beat her ass and said exposed Peters info, to her putting that aside to basically be number two of "Team Venom" in Maximum Carnage before they went and recruited Morbius, and Cloak and Dagger

Yeah there are some similarities with him and certain Goblin stuff in that way. Though I also think what gives Venom a different feel, like you said was his obsession, and his general feralness. Norman being Norman always feels like he kinda has his shit together, even when he's batshit, he's one of the archetypical super criminals/arch enemys. Whereas Venom was like living in the sewer, prowling around, killing criminals here and there, like he just feels like a wacked out crazy hobo who's obsession you don't want to be the target of
