That picture is Eddie Brock from an "alternate timeline" thing or something. The Eddie Brock in the comics was a massive mofo (bought some Spider-Man comics back in the day). Hence why Venom is so much bigger than Spider-Man.
Anyway, Topher just isn't right at all...
From wikipedia:
"Unable to accept responsibility for his own incompetence, Brock blamed Spider-Man for ruining his career and resumed his passion for athletics through weight training to reduce stress. Though his body grew to near-Olympic standards, his rage remained. Tiring of her husband's incessant brooding, Anne divorced him. With both his professional and personal life shattered, Brock contemplated suicide and went to Our Lady of Saints Church where he pleaded to God for forgiveness, unaware the symbiote Spider-Man had discarded lay waiting for him."
