I guess I'll still have to wait for the reboot, when Brock somehow ends up with the Symbiot again and is just being an anti-hero again.

Brock sucks. After his initial introduction in the comics he just became a character without any real purpose. the lethal protector era was just a dumb concept. they tried to make Brock an anti hero who could still somewhat work as a villain and it failed. The Character soon became nothing more but a joke. There was nothing left of his early presence as a dark mirror of Spider-Man and the novelty of "Oh he is Spider-Man but eeeeevil." rubeed off extremely quick.

Only with Flash Thompson as Venom did they finally manage to make Venom a character again and not just a gimmick. Flash has a personality you can actually work with and tell stories in the long run that are actually worthwhile.

With Brock you never had that. they tried to move that character forward and never could. Thats why that character fell into the background becuase they just couldnt manage to keep that guy relevant in any form.
