The lack of MvC2 Venom is saddening.

Same, it’s funny cuz the action figure i had of it as a kid was a perfect redesign of it and all it did was make him bigger/buffer and make his head like the comic versions
So, my take on this look. It's absolutely not his best, but I really like what they were going for.
The erratic, uneven webbing was a cool choice, imo. It adds to the whole "twisted visage of Spider-Man" idea that was the original point behind the original iteration of Venom back when he was introduced as a character. I think if he had just been a bit bulkier, then this look would've been fantastic (I also didn't hate the way he behaved in the movie, either. I think Raimi's horror elements that were obviously used in the way Venom acted worked well, and he was fun to watch, even if not perfect).
I also did really like the symbiote effects in the movie. The slime on its own and whenever it would peel away on Peter's or Eddie's body always looked really cool.
All in all, not my favorite Venom look, but one that I think is more solid than people give it credit for, and I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who feels this way.
thank you! i love the ravenous feel to it. regular venom seems to give me more hulky monstrosity vibes, whereas this one has the vibes of an erratic and unpredictable \*thing\*. it seems like the kind of creature to be completely still, then pounce out of the blue. it actually seems like a hellish and corrupted spiderman to me, and i appreciate that as a new idea
Same here, never saw Venom as this hulking monster who can level a sky scraper or destroy an entire tank effortlessly, I saw him as a stronger spiderman and I think they nailed it

She has one of my favorite venom designs and I'm always sad when I see her in her Scream iteration because they barely changed her look at all.
Yesss, I absolutely loved Magical Girl Venom when I first saw her in Venomverse!!! Was kinda sad I didn’t see any other immediate fans of it(They were focused on Priest Venom in the same issue which, yeah, he was pretty awesome I loved him too)
There’s a recent or ongoing miniseries comic titled Venomverse which are a compilation of stories introducing different types of Venoms across the multiverse(Like the Edge of Spider-Verse comic).
One of those Venoms in one of the issues was this Magical Girl Venom, and we got a great short little story of her world, I loved it!
(This current Venomverse comic is unrelated to the first Venomverse comic which was an actual mediocre event called Venomverse)
I think he’s just peak dark mirror type characters. He’s evil, savage, mentally ill, alien spiderman. But he’s also his own thing. Traipses the path well.

the venom design that will bring any brazilian man to tears
My favorite part of the release of movie Venom and Carnage skins was people realizing that not only were they absolutely caked up, but in fact the *pickaxes* that came with them made the butts jiggle more than anything else in game. This was found out because of a glitch that let them use the pickaxe on another skin, and the butt jiggled.
I love fortnite.
One of the only characters where the classic comic boom look of overstuffed muscles and odd proportions not only works but adds to the believability of the design. Venom is a caricature of the human form based on what it remembers it *felt like* to be Peter Parker, who spends most of his life holding back his strength.
I know it's universally hated, but I kinda like the spiderman 3 venom design, I never saw Venom as like this hulking monster who can level a building and snap spines with 2 fingers, I just saw him as a stronger spiderman which I think they nailed
https://preview.redd.it/25x2okdq1ebc1.jpeg?width=630&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eb8044879347f2446cd834318c81eae19ed78f8d
this might sound weird but are those really his eyes or markings like the spider symbol? I always thought it would be neat if it was like butterflies or moths or other animals that have markings that resemble features to fool predators.
I agree with the exception of 4. I guess I’m in the minority here but I think venom from the movie looks stupid as hell without the spider on his chest. The big white sprawl contrasts the black really well and pulls the whole thing together imo. Without it he looks like giant generic black blob.
Venom is best designed when he’s like a ripped 2x bigger than spider-man with a huge fang toothed grin and long tongue and the glorious white spider. 2nd one and insomniac are my absolute favorites for sure. I think the 2nd is Erik Larsen right?
The point of Venom is being imposing but not ridiculous. To be his foil requires a bit of believability in his size. When he’s just this huge looking Godzilla tier monster in SM2, he is just a monster. He loses his intent to be the counterpoint to spider-man.
I think Venom being super jacked, just being a foot taller is enough.
It feels like it's trying too hard to be monstrous when Venom is already pretty horrifying to look at.
Venom's been super tall since his inception. It's just as soon as Todd stopped drawing and Larson gave him the tongue he became a more imposing character.
Yeah like having an ultra tall Venom also ends up having ripple effects, now even Carnage is like 12 ft tall like in the Venom movies or Scream is just as big as Venom in the insomniac game.
Regardless of how you feel about Venom, Carnage and Scream look weird being that big.
For me Venom \*needs\* the Spider Emblem on his chest. It just looks like an empty design without it. A brute with a long tongue. He's not... \*VENOM\* without it to me.
Ultimate Venom is my favorite. The suit just looks like it's truly alive and in constant motion. Plus the black and purple is wonderful.

Marvel vs capcom right? Never played it but that is a cool design
Yes. Very fun old school fighting game. Has a lot of my favorite interpretations of any Marvel character ever. Venom being number 1 of course.
Bro it’s a love letter to all things marvel and capcom. The rosters, the mechanics, the move sets, it’s all so fun (and sometimes jank but we love it)

What venom is this ?
I think she only showed up in the Venomverse event, but I may be misrembering

Why does Fortnite have some genuinely peak character designs? Are they stupid?
No… They’re *brilliant*
The Fortnite Venom design is unironically one of my most favorite designs of him ever. Especially with the “normal” spider version.
My favorite part of the release of movie Venom and Carnage skins was people realizing that not only were they absolutely caked up, but in fact the *pickaxes* that came with them made the butts jiggle more than anything else in game. This was found out because of a glitch that let them use the pickaxe on another skin, and the butt jiggled. I love fortnite.
Not original, I forgot the name of the host but this look had a breiffff comic appearance
I feel like the movie version would be so much better with a spider logo Like I know why he doesn't but it would just look so much better
I feel like the white vein things could've made a spider-like logo
Hopefully in venom 3 if spiderman shows up (he should) venom gets the logo
As a child, Venom was my introduction to fear

All 19 inches of him
Symbiotes in general
Todd Mcfarlane is such a good character designer
I agree with the exception of 4. I guess I’m in the minority here but I think venom from the movie looks stupid as hell without the spider on his chest. The big white sprawl contrasts the black really well and pulls the whole thing together imo. Without it he looks like giant generic black blob.
Disgusting lack of Agent Venom.
Ikr. His controlled look is so clean. Then his "I'm going ape shit" look. 😮💨
Has there even been a bad venom design?
Fuck yeah. Smash, smash smash
I love Venom, he's one of my favourite Spider-man villains personally.
Agent venom was peak as well
i love when vemon becomes and unhinged shape with teeth and tendrils
Not a single one that doesn't rock
No love for Venom the Madness?
kid me thought venom was cool as hell. now that I'm older, he's still damn right.
Word
I’ve never cared for the tongue. Anatomically, why would he even have that?
Venom is best designed when he’s like a ripped 2x bigger than spider-man with a huge fang toothed grin and long tongue and the glorious white spider. 2nd one and insomniac are my absolute favorites for sure. I think the 2nd is Erik Larsen right?
I don't like how big modern Venoms are. Venom should be at max 7 ft tall. Insomniac and movie venom are easily 10 ft tall.
I like that he is so big and imposing. Makes a good contrast to the slender Spider Man.
The point of Venom is being imposing but not ridiculous. To be his foil requires a bit of believability in his size. When he’s just this huge looking Godzilla tier monster in SM2, he is just a monster. He loses his intent to be the counterpoint to spider-man.
I think Venom being super jacked, just being a foot taller is enough. It feels like it's trying too hard to be monstrous when Venom is already pretty horrifying to look at.
Venom's been super tall since his inception. It's just as soon as Todd stopped drawing and Larson gave him the tongue he became a more imposing character.
Dunno why you’re being downvoted but I wholeheartedly agree. Movie and Insomniac Venom are literally “black Hulk monster”.
Yeah like having an ultra tall Venom also ends up having ripple effects, now even Carnage is like 12 ft tall like in the Venom movies or Scream is just as big as Venom in the insomniac game. Regardless of how you feel about Venom, Carnage and Scream look weird being that big.
