Yet it's entirely not that "what if" character and doesn't even look like it and has no relation to that what if character.

One of which then infected him and created the character the figure is based off of. The poison from what if was peter parker who was infected with the symbiote after he died. Two completely different characters.

Yup. And they've got more storylines coming later too. Especially since they rewrote the origins of the Klyntar and how that ties into the Celestials. So the poisons are likely to get an interesting counterpoint origin to expand theirs too in how they are a symbiote predator.

Though "venomized heroes" might be more applicable. Wasn't directly Venomized Avengers though there were a bunch of them too. Really hope they do some of the other poison versions too. Deadpool Poison and Ghost Rider Poison, and many others were really freaking cool. And I'd love a GwenomPool too. She was an interesting breakout character from her ministory. Not really a fan of her Poison outfit though.

Most Poisons take the colors of their heroes non-venomized suit. In Spider-Man's case, he went more anti-venom colors because his spider suit wasn't so much a venomized version of his costume unlike the others. So instead it's inverted from the poison. Or potentially, based off of his future foundation suit.
