@venomoushatred1001: I'd still go with Spidey's. No weaknesses like Sound and fire. I love Carnage, the guy's a childhood favorite, but i'm going with Spidey on this one.

I asked the op he said no weakness. I think being mentally insane counts as a weakness. but yes I agree being mentally unstable would make me want spidys powers instead. I probably would have chose venom even with the weakness as long as I don't turn into a cannibal I'm good with venoms power set.

Venom's symbiote just replicated Spiderman's power but an an enhanced level.

Still would go for Spidey due to spider sense.

If you don't get the symbiote's weaknesses, I'm not sure how this is even a question? Venom has everything Parker does, camouflage, increased durability especially to piercing weapons, organic webbing, etc.

But there are few problems:

  • he gets pregnant? would u wanna be pregnant? (Venom vs Carnage)
  • Eats human - you wanna be cannibal??
  • Reproduces asexually - would u really like that??

@Killemall: Let's look at your arguement

1: It's not like you would go through labor

2. That's only for the majorly psychotic and/or mentally weak

3. Hey it's the symbiote part that's asexual not me.

Going with Spider-Man all the way.

For starters, he's far more intelligent (even assisting Reed Richards lately). But, first and foremost, he has spidersense. The only reason any incarnation of Venom ever got the upperhand on Spidey is because his spidersense was negated by the symbiotes.

Finally, Spider-Man's been trained recently by Shang Chi ... making him even more badass. And showing just how fast he learns and masters martial arts in such a short period of time.

Ya, I'm going with Spidey.

No.

Yes it does. "The Last Temptation Of Eddie Brock" retconned it so the cancer happened after Eddie bonded. Also, Cletus had cancer without his symbiote in the Spider-Carnage story.

  1. Carnage himself said he was having uneasiness and pain all day long, so yeah although u dont go through labor you have all those problems.
  2. But that's what venom does, eats people.. :p eats skrulls *shirks*
  3. Oh i concede that part :)

Why should I choose or not choose Spider-Man?

 + If I would gain his intelligence together with his powers, it would be awesome
+ He has his awesome spider sense
+ He is a fast learner and very adaptive and because of that he knows Kung Fu now
+ He is strong, fast and very, very agile, additionally to that very durable
 
- Even though he is fast and agile and durable, he can still easily be wounded by attacks which pierce / penetrate his skin
- He always has to refill his web shooters 
- I would always have to wear the costume beneath my regular clothes
 

Why should I choose or not choose Venom?

+ He is stronger and faster then Spider-Man
+ He is far more durable then Spider-Man, also basically bulletproof, also against higher calibres  
+ The symbiote can heal the host / help him to regenerate
+ Unlimited organic web, which is stronger then Spider-Mans and also lasts longer
+ The symbiote is adaptive, so the host would never ever have to buy clothes again
+ He can turn invisible, thanks to the symbiotes camouflage-ability
+ Controling peoples bodies would be possible, by letting the symbiote lead their movement
+ The tentacles and hard forms would come in handy
 
- The symbiote can be very dangerous and act on its own 
- Weakness to sonics and fire  
- The host becomes very aggressive when wearing the symbiote  

But whose powers to take?

Anti-Venoms of course!  

+ Still stronger and faster then Spider-Man
+ All the other strenghts of the symbiote, like being bulletproof and having unlimited web
+ Protects the host automatically, even though it's not a real symbiote
+ No weaknesses
+ Additionally the power to heal others

The Symbiote, definitely. I'd play Chess and multiplayer games on PS3 with it, then go out and be a lethal protector. Awesome.

Is the Cancer induced by the Symbiote in order to stimulate the aggressive parts of the brain? Because I know that Eddie's Cancer was one of the reasons the Symbiote liked him so much; it provided more adrenaline for it to "eat".

And you could also transfer the symbiote on a molecular level from one console to another.

I honestly have no idea, it's really vague. Plus, Cletus in the new "CARNAGE" stuff was separated from his symbiote and didn't get sick, so that got retconned apparently.

I would think that since cancer is just abnormal cells, the symbiotes would give cancer from all the morphing and stuff they do to your body. (A theory I've heard, but idk).

Anti-venom would be my preferred choice over any symbiote or spiderman / spider man clone too.

Only Spiderman's spidey- sense is refraining me from choosing Venom. I need to give this a bit more thought.

I'd say Venom. Even with the weaknesses he's as resistant to fire/sonics as someone who doesn't have the weakness, like Spidey. As long as I have full control over the symbiote I'd absolutely take that.

Actually Venom's powers are the same as Spiderman's except for spidersense. The Symbiote told Eddie Brock back in the day it could give him all of Spiderman's powers except the spidersense. It also told him that Spidermans strength was based on proportions. Meaning the bigger Spiderman is the stronger he can become. Peter Parker has also stated this. He also has said his current size allows him to maximize his speed, strength, agility, and quickness. Which Venom has given up for superior strength. I would take Spidey's abilities though. The only advantage Venom has is durability, because he is slower, and not as agile he needs more durability.
