The anti-venom has a decent Spider-Island vibe. They should have just gone all out and done Anti-venom, the new scarlet spider/big time spider-man, and Thompson Venom to fully reflect that.
I expect we'll be seeing a lot of goblin re-uses in the run of the new spidey flicks, so it seems like a bad idea to include him yet again. Heck even carnage would have been neat.

Dark Avengers Gargan Venom is a comic pack with Daken/Dark Wolverine. Cassidy Carnage has been single carded in the previous spidey line, might show up in MU officially eventually through a repack. Gargan Scorpion tail venom works well in the Legends scale from spider-man classics. Now we have "Spider-Island" Anti-venom. So thompson venom and stacy carnage are the only ones missing from my list so far besides the randoms(which some can be found in toy biz lines with decent MU scale).

As for misnaming, it happens off and on. Some retail outlets as far as they know it's just an inverted Venom. So it makes it an easier sale to them, and hasbro gets to slot in a hot fan demanded character under the radar. Especially right now while gossip of the venom movie being unshelved and readapted for the marc webb spidey universe have been circulating.
