Scream (Donna Diego) is a fictional supervillainess from the Spider-Man comic book series. She is one of six symbiote spawns of Venom.

Scream first appeared in Venom: Lethal Protector #4, and was created by David Michelinie and Ron Lim.

Scream was one of the five Life Foundation symbiotes that were forcefully spawned from the original Venom symbiote. She was their unofficial Californian leader. Like the other four hosts, she was a volunteer for the Life Foundation; a survivalist group within the American government preparing both for the mutually assured destruction fallout of the Cold War and to provide a comfortable life for their wealthy clients after the impending nuclear holocaust. The Life Foundation was experimenting with the Venom symbiote in the hopes of creating so-called 'super-cops' to watch over their imagined fallout shelter utopia. Donna was picked from the organization's security force, made up of police, soldiers, and mercenaries.

During Scream's first public appearance, she encountered Spider-Man while terrorizing a shopping mall near Salinas, California. Quickly bested by the more experienced fighter, Scream escaped in a hovercraft which returned to the Life Foundation's base.

Unknown to her, Spider-Man had hitched a ride on that same hovercraft. Once inside he helped Eddie Brock (who was being held prisoner there) escape and bond with his symbiote. Scream and the other guardian symbiotes then tangled with Spider-Man and Venom, but Venom turned an accelerated aging device on them. The age-accelerating machine appeared to make the symbiotes age to dust. Venom and Spider-Man escaped and the Life Foundation blew up the base.
