Origin

Hybrid a.k.a. Scott Washington was separated from his symbiote, which in turn was dis-amalgamated into its four separate entities. Each symbiote was bonded with a special forces member and teamed together as a back up plan against Carnage, "Contingency B". They were funded due to the Venom debacle since "special forces don't go AWOL." When the symbiotes we're extracted from Washington they were left in a catontonic state so there is no risk of bonding.

Creation
