TRIVIA
The names (Agony, Screech and Shriek) are fan names for Agony and his host Leslie Gesneria. The fan-name Agony was devised as being a name suited for a symbiote that seems to be a female version of Carnage, due to her appearance and coloration.
The symbiote (and her hosts) wasn't officially named Agony, until Carnage, U.S.A. #2, with James Murphy as host.
