around welcome to watchmojo.com and

for the top ten superheroes who have
worn the Venom symbiote
before we begin we publish new videos
every day so be sure to subscribe for
more great content for this list we’ll
be looking at some of the many heroes
that have bonded with the Venom symbiote
over the years please note that
civilians and villains will not be
considered number 10 miss Marvel after
Eddie Brock Mac Gargan is probably the
man who has spent the most time bonded
with the Venom symbiote and when wearing
it
he was downright vicious making heroes
desperate to separate him from the
powerful alien during the siege
storyline spider-man distracted venom
while Miss Marvel forcibly ripped Gargan
from the symbiote the problem was she
was left holding the host hungry
parasite which promptly attached itself
to her given her inspiring powers the
symbiote was downright giddy and miss
Marvel immediately lost control
thankfully with a little help from
Spidey she was able to free herself from
the symbiote and its influence but it
was one hell of a ride while it lasted
number 9 Red Hulk
well Red Hulk isn’t exactly a hero in
the classic sense more often than not
he’s on the right side of a fight but
more importantly considering the
circumstances under which he bonded with
the Venom symbiote we simply couldn’t
leave him off our list
seriously this is overkill even by
comic-book standards in a circle of four
storyline agent venom Ghost Rider
x-23 and Red Hulk worked together to
take down the villainous Blackheart in a
losing battle that has seen them go
through literal hell Red Hulk has
granted the Venom symbiote and the
spirit of vengeance to sway the battle
in the heros favor yes that really
happened a brait guardians of the galaxy
during this story arc the Venom symbiote
got a chance to try out a whole
menagerie of alternative hosts the first
course in Venom’s guardians buffet is
Groot though Drax manages to free his
teammate the symbiote evades recapture
lurking on the ship until it can claim
another host Rocket Raccoon talking big
and embracing firearms the symbiote
attempts to seize control of the ship
when Drax tries wrestling the venom
rocket the symbiote promptly trades up
to become venom Drax a foreman settles
on to pilot the ship to its ultimate
destination the home planet of the
symbiotes for fans of the symbiote
takeovers this plotline was like
Christmas
number seven spider-gwen of all the
various spin-off characters that
spider-man has given birth to over the
Pew have found successor been more
unlikely to do so than spider-gwen
for those of you who haven’t heard of
her it’s time to catch up because she’s
freaking awesome in this universe Gwen
Stacy
not Peter Parker was bitten by the
radioactive spider and just like Parker
and the main continuity she eventually
came in contact with the symbiote though
the setup is different
Gwen similarly struggles with the
symbiote loving the powers that it gives
her while trying to deal with its
violent influence for both Gwen and the
Venom symbiote it’s a great story arc
number six Punisher angry violence
loving alien symbiote meet your human
soul mate seriously is there a character
in the Marvel Universe better suited to
the symbiotes desires than frank castle
sadly Punishers time with the symbiote
has been limited to one of Marvel’s
what-if stories a series in which
alternate possibilities are explored but
hey for the duration of this one issue
in 1992 we got to see venom Punisher in
all his glory and boy oh boy
was it something the character combines
Punishers penchant for guns with Venom’s
more hands-on approach to lethal results
at first frank struggles to control the
alien but in the end he tames the beast
and opts to keep it number 5 Wolverine
venom and Wolverine are both savage and
vicious but once you’ve seen them
combine they both separately feel
downright cuddly by comparison in the
five-issue alternate reality miniseries
edge of venom verse symbiotes are
popping up all over the place
at this point in time The Wolverine we
know and love is gone but old man Logan
is alive and drinking himself into
oblivion
that is until he’s forced to get
involved at which point he becomes an
unwilling host for venom it’s a really
creepy look to be honest but there’s no
arguing with the results the combination
is deadly of course this was an old man
Logan’s first time playing host number 4
x-23 Wolverine isn’t the only living
weapon with claws to bond with the Venom
symbiote and edge of venom verse and
quite frankly his clone prodigy x-23
makes for arguably an even more badass
and memorable host and the miniseries
inaugural issue things kick off with
Laura getting venom eyes dwell trying to
escape from the facility where she’s
being held captive flash-forward to
months and venom x-23 is living in New
York City as some sort of urban legend a
monster and when you see her cut loose
and let the symbiote do its thing well
it’s hard to argue to the contrary even
scarier this venom is willing to share
the love spreading too
as friends number three Deadpool
honestly we’re not sure how the symbiote
can put up with a motormouth like Wade
Wilson but we suspect that it tufted out
in the name of the insane healing factor
in the ridiculously meta Deadpool secret
Secret Wars which retro actively inserts
Deadpool into the iconic Secret Wars
storyline we learned that even before
Peter Parker merged with the Venom
symbiote Wade Wilson got up close and
personal with the parasitic alien in
fact it’s heavily suggested that this
brief encounter likely drove the
symbiote insane who made it into the
kill-crazy entity it is today in
Deadpool back in black the two old
acquaintances are reunited and this time
around they really painted the town
number to Flash Thompson
aka agent venom when we said superheroes
who have worn the Venom symbiote you may
not have thought that there would be
anyone on the list who actually became a
superhero as a result of bonding with
the venom suit after high school Flash
Thompson became a soldier and eventually
lost his legs in Iraq it was this injury
that ultimately led him to sign up for
the government-run project rebirth 2.0
have you been recently removed from Mac
Gargan the symbiote was bonded with
Thompson to create agent venom a covert
operative in the service of the United
States and who had eventually become a
member of the guardians of the galaxy
it’s a unique take on the character and
one that brought new depth to both the
symbiote and Flash Thompson number one
spider-man though he may no longer
technically be the first host
chronologically speaking spider-man was
the character who introduced us to the
symbiote and as far as heroes go his
history with a parasitic alien is by far
the richest spider-man first bonded with
the symbiote during secret Wars to
replace his damaged suit and was under
the impression that it was just that a
technologically advanced costume
continuing to wear it when he returned
home spider-man soon found out that this
outfit had a mind of its own and in
retrospect seemingly made him more
aggressive eventually he would discover
that it was actually a manipulative
alien life-form and the rest as they say
is comic book history do you agree with
