Hybrid (real name Scott Washington) is a fictional anti-hero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Scott Washington first appeared in The New Warriors #21 (March 1992) by writer Fabian Nicieza and penciller Mark Bagley. The symbiote first appeared in the back-up stories in the Venom: Along Came A Spider (1996) miniseries by writer Evan Skolnick and penciller Patrick Zircher.
Created by writer Fabian Nicieza and penciller Mark Bagley, the Guardsman Scott Washington appears in The New Warriors #21 (March 1992), #25-26 and #36. In 1996, as Hybrid, he is the main character in the back-up stories in two miniseries Venom: Along Came a Spider and Venom: The Hunted, all written by Evan Skolnick.
In 2007, he is mentioned in Civil War: Battle Damage Report #1. Hybrid is also mentioned at the conclusion of the first issue of Carnage U.S.A. (2011), along with Venom, Anti-Venom, Toxin, and his sister Scorn, as being the next option to stop Carnage's rampage in the Mid-west after the Avengers are defeated.
He has an entry in All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z #5 - 'Gorgon to Jury' (2006) and an entry in Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z HC vol. 05 - 'Guardsmen to Jackal (Warren)' (2008).
Scott Washington was one of the Guardsmen involved in guarding and transporting Justice, who had been arrested and sentenced to the Vault for killing his father.
Hybrid is the amalgamation of four of the Life Foundation Symbiotes - whose hosts were killed by Scream - into a single symbiote entity. The fused symbiote then sought out Scott Washington, an African-American man who was a Guardsman at the Vault (the prison for supervillains) lab facility. While guarding the symbiotes, he realized that they were not evil, not a threat, and the experiments were causing them terrible pain, so he let them go. When his superiors discovered that Scott had released the aliens he was supposed to guard he was fired. He returned to the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, the gang-torn neighborhood in which he grew up. Following a basketball court scuffle with members of the Eazy X gang, Scott and his brother, Derek, were shot, Derek was killed while Scott became crippled, losing the use of his legs.
