it’s the Battle of the extra-terrestrial
symbiotes welcome to watchmojo.com and
in today’s installment of vs. we’re
pitting venom against carnage to see
who’s the superior symbiote not just
who’d win in a fight before we begin we
publish new content every day so be sure

bell to get notified about our latest
videos round one origin story every
superhero and filling for that matter
needs a compelling backstory a good
origin story informs the characters
actions and gives us insight into why
they are the way they are the symbiote
that would come to be known as venom is
a being from the planet known as Clint R
it bonded with Peter Parker and became
spider-man’s new costume but was later
removed and attached itself to the human
named Eddie Brock Brock was a former
journalist who’d been embarrassed and
disgraced by Parker thus the human and
alien had a common hatred for spider-man
and bonded together to form venom the
carnage symbiote is also a member of the
Clint are race but unlike its father the
Venom symbiote it was born on earth when
the Venom symbiote helped Brock escape
prison it left behind an offspring this
creature which was technically the child
of venom bonded with Brock’s cellmate
the psychopathic Cletus Kasady Cassidy
was a disturbed and sadistic serial
killer who was convicted of murdering 11
people when this madman and the symbiote
bonded they formed carnage one of
spider-man’s greatest enemies though
both of the symbiotes have interesting
backstories Venom’s is a little more
complex and has a bit more depth as he
has more motivation than simply being a
vicious serial killer for that reason we
give this round to venom winner venom
round to costume after a Great backstory
a villa needs a great look when the
Venom symbiote first bonded with Peter
Parker the new suit quickly became a fan
favorite for its simple and elegant
design the all-black look with white
eyes spider and accents was an instant
classic then the suit got kicked up a
notch when it bonded with Brock venom
kept the same black and white motif but
added the iconic monstrous mouth with
big teeth and a bigger tongue setting
the tone for what future symbiote
characters would eventually look like
speaking of which Carnage’s suit has a
few similarities for one it also has a
menacing mouth and has some black on it
much like its alien father venom but
that’s where the similarities end
Carnage’s teeth are much different and
red is its defining colour the carnage
symbiote is a visual representation of
the madness inside Cletus Kasady
and the chaotic aesthetic brilliantly
separates him from his predecessor
although venom looks classic we give
this round to carnage for having such a
frightening design that builds on
everything that made Venom’s look so
great to begin with winner carnage round
a good barometer for how popular a comic
book character is is how many
adaptations they’ve had in other media
venom has of course appeared in comics
but has also appeared in cartoons
videogames and movies usually it’s a
good thing when a fan-favorite character
appears in a movie but many fans were
less than thrilled by Topher Grace’s
portrayal of Eddie Brock in spider-man 3
never wounded what you can’t kill
despite this venom has had some solid
appearances in many other media
including his very own movie carnage has
also appeared in video games and
cartoons bud was fortunately never
portrayed by Topher Grace the cartoon
adaptations of carnage have done a great
job portraying the character as a
psychopathic mad man and a terrifying
force of nature like venom carnage has
been featured in video games as a main
villain just like he should be fans are
clamoring for more carnage outside the
comics and we have a feeling they’ll
soon be satisfied although he’s had one
questionable portrayal in movies we had
to give this nod to venom for sheer
quantity winner venom Round four powers
their powers are what make a villain
truly great symbiotes give their hosts
many superhuman abilities which make
them formidable foes the Venom symbiote
gives Brock both enhanced senses and
superhuman physical strength speed
durability and agility he’s got a handy
healing factor and is immune to spider
senses and even has the power of
invisibility venom is also a
shapeshifter
is resistant to telepathy and has his
own form of webbing ever since the
symbiote bonded with Spidey the carnage
symbiote can basically do anything the
Venom symbiote can do and then some
carnage is actually quite a bit stronger
than venom which is why venom and
spider-man need to team up to take him
down
where venom often makes more subtle
changes to its form carnage goes wild he
regularly uses his symbiote to form
various weapons including
axes swords and even throwing darts for
this reason and because he seems to make
more use of his alien suit we give this
round to carnage winner carnage round 5
hosts as explained earlier the Clint are
symbiotes need hosts to live
so which symbiote had the best hosts
venom has had several its first host was
actually Deadpool yeah that Deadpool in
fact many speculate that Venom’s
deranged personality is a result of
being bonded to the Merc with a mouth
after that venom bonded with Peter
Parker for a time before moving to Eddie
Brock the Venom symbiote has also bonded
with an Wayne Eddy’s ex-wife Flash
Thompson a government black ops agent
and Mark Gargan otherwise known as
scorpion
unlike venom carnage hasn’t had as many
notable hosts this is due in part to the
fact that the carnage symbiote is bonded
to Cassidy’s bloodstream despite this it
has used a few other beings as hosts
carnage has used John Jameson and Ben
Riley who was spider-man at the time
carnage also tried to bond to the Herald
of Galactus himself the Silver Surfer it
didn’t go too well and ended up getting
both carnage and Cassidy put away into
an unbreakable prison most recently
Norman Osborn used the carnage symbiote
to become the red goblin for having a
more interesting array of hosts
including a couple of heroes we give
this round to venom winner venom so
there you have it in terms of his
costume and powers carnage reigns
supreme but when it comes to who has the
better origin story adaptations and
hosts venom takes the prize this makes
venom the winner in the contest for
symbiote supremacy do you agree with our
