"dark spiderman" is when Peter Parker aquires the symbiot suit. It's a parasite that enhances the characteristics of the host while it feeds on your emotions. Whatever emotion is most present, that is the characteristic most expressed by the host while the symbiot feeds. When Spiderman aquires the suit, it feeds off of his unexpressed anger and causes him to kind of act like a dick. When it begins feeding off of Eddie Brock it feeds off of his hatred/obsession of Spiderman. This causes him to have an appearance similar to that of Spiderman, but all evil and such. He has all of the powers of Spiderman due to his obsession, and he appears as an evil version of Spiderman for the same reason. The symbiot gives Eddie Brock the power he needs to kill Spiderman, which is what he wants. This is very similar to the power given to Peter Parker when he is in posession of the symbiot. He wants to be more of a manly man/take care of myself/badass type, and it gives him that, but due to tha fact that it nearly destroys his realtionship with Mary Jane Watson, he rips it off with the assistance of a church bell due to the fact that low-frequency sound weakens the parasite. In this same church, Eddie Brock is praying for forgiveness about the fact that he is about to commit suicide due to Peter Parker exposing him for doctoring photographs of Spiderman to make him seem evil, and therefore, losing his job. Spiderman rids himself of the parasite, which then drips onto Eddie Brock, and when it realizes his obsession/anger toward Spiderman, it takes on the form tha we know as Venom. Venom wants to kill Spiderman.
That's about it.
