- Anti-Venom Tempest. L1 + X. Anti-Venom Tempest is a slightly better attack than Anti-Venom Blast. The only difference is that Spider-Man will gather enemies around him and then use that tentacle energy to shoot those enemies into the air and repel them back.
- Anti-Venom Blast. L1 + Circle. Anti-Venom Blast is one of the last attacks that Peter can unlock for his Anti-Venom suit. As Spider-Man, he will stand still and then create another pin cushion-like surge of energy in his body and launch it at approaching enemies.
- Anti-Venom Yank. L1 + X. Anti-Venom Yank is a funny name for a move although that’s only if players have dirty minds. It’s kind of similar to the Anti-Venom Punch attack as Peter will launch a punch.
- Anti-Venom Bomb. L1 + Square. Anti-Venom Strike turns Peter into a bomb, but Anti-Venom Bomb is an ability wherein Peter will toss a bomb at enemies. He will use his symbiotic suit to create a well of energy and then launch it at enemies as he jumps into the air.
- Anti-Venom Tempest. Peter's Coolest Ability In Spider-Man 2. Unlocked after completing one of the final missions in the game, Anti-Venom Tempest is an incredible, and often OP, attack that manages to capture several of the best elements of other powerful abilities and combine them.
- Anti-Venom Blast. Push Back Enemies & Deal Massive Damage. One of the final abilities unlocked in Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is Peter's unique skill, Anti-Venom Blast.
- Anti-Venom Punch. Knock Enemies Back With Peter's Tentacles. Unlocked late into the game at the point when Peter obtains and equips the white Anti-Venom Suit, Anti-Venom Punch is a powerful attack in Marvel's Spider-Man 2 that sees Spider-Man unleash a tentacle punch that knocks enemies back and has the added benefit of occasionally sticking them to a wall or to the floor.
- Spider Rush. Close The Distance Between Peter & An Enemy. Perhaps the best non-Anti-Venom ability available to Peter in Marvel's Spider-Man 2, Spider Rush, allows Spider-Man to propel himself forward at extreme speed, damaging all enemies that are unfortunate enough to be situated along his path.

Venom may be one of Spider-Man's stronger foes, but he's not the only symbiote character on the block. This villain's breakout popularity in the late '80s and early '90s inspired a new wave of symbiote characters, from villains like Carnage to heroes like Scorn and Toxin. And some of these characters have proven to be stronger and more capable than Venom himself.
And now Venom and his ilk are back in the conversation with the arrival of the Venom: Let There Be Carnage trailer. So if you want to know how the major symbiote characters in the Marvel Universe measure up, we've put together a helpful guide. Read on -- or watch the video above -- to see where characters like Peter Parker and Eddie Brock fall on the list of the most powerful symbiotes.
And when you're done here, be sure to check out our Let There Be Carnage exclusive trailer breakdown with director Andy Serkis, explore whether or not the Venom movies take place in the MCU (and whether or not Tom Holland's Spider-Man could show up in them), learn why Venom doesn’t need Spider-Man, and dig in on Carnage's new powers in the movie.
These are the symbiotes/symbiote hosts included in this list:
•Spider-Man
•The Life Foundation Symbiotes
•Scream
•Venom
•Mania
Peter Parker was the first person to bond with the Venom symbiote, which also puts him on the low end of the symbiote totem pole. It's not that Spider-Man didn't receive a significant power boost while wearing the costume. Bonding with Venom amped up his already impressive strength and granted him unlimited webbing (which is a huge help to any struggling superhero's budget). However, the symbiote has only grown stronger since moving on to other hosts.
Plus, Peter never fully bonded with the symbiote in the way other hosts like Eddie Brock and Flash Thompson have. No sooner did he discover that the helpful black costume he stumbled across on an alien planet was actually a living, parasitic being than he discarded it and went back to the old spandex.
Early on in his career as a "lethal protector," Venom was captured by Carlton Drake's Life Foundation and had five samples of his costume taken and turned into new symbiotes. Four of those symbiotes - Riot, Lasher, Phage and Agony - are grouped together here. Because they only appeared in a handful of Venom stories and never had much of a chance to stand out as individuals, it's tough to really rank one above another.
Theoretically, as offspring of Venom, these Life Foundation symbiotes should be stronger than their parent. But these characters never showed much skill in controlling their powers, and it wasn't long before the human hosts were killed off and the Life Foundation symbiotes were sent adrift. They later returned as a fused symbiote named Hybrid, but even that new form wasn't powerful enough to prevent Venom from killing their shared human host, Scott Washington.
Scream is the one Life Foundation Symbiote who did stand apart from her brethren. The 1994 series Venom: Separation Anxiety revealed that Scream was trying to murder her compatriots and frame Eddie Brock for their deaths. The simple fact that she was able to overpower and kill Agony shows that Scream was more in tune with her symbiote than the rest...
Venom made his reputation by serving as a bigger, meaner version of Spider-Man. When the symbiote passed from Peter Parker to Eddie Brock, it retained most of Spider-Man's abilities - strength, speed, agility, etc. At the same time, finding a new host amplified the symbiote's power and granted it several new abilities, including razor-sharp fangs and the ability to block Peter's Spider-Sense.
In short, while Venom isn't as strong as some of the more recent symbiotes that have sprung up in his wake, he's certainly more than a match for Spider-Man. The symbiote's power levels have also stayed fairly consistent as its switched among several new hosts (Mac Gargan, Flash Thompson, Lee Price) before finally returning to Brock.
The Mania symbiote is another offshoot of Venom, and one that's shown a much greater degree of bloodlust and rage than its parent. That's in part because one of its wearers, Andi Benton, was also cursed by a supernatural brand called the Hell-Mark. More recently, the Mania symbiote has passed to a criminal named Lee Price. Lee has shown the ability...
To date, the Venom symbiote has never been stronger than when bonded to Flash Thompson. That's right, Peter Parker's former high school bully became one of several hosts for the Venom symbiote. Luckily, Flash helped steer the symbiote down a better road. During this period, Venom even joined the Guardians of the Galaxy and traveled to its home planet, where its warped mind was cured and he developed an even closer bond with Flash.
It was during this time that Venom became a cosmic superhero known as a Space Knight and tapped into greater levels of strength than ever before. Unfortunately, this bond didn't last, and it wasn't long before Flash and Venom were separated and left to fend for themselves again back on Earth.
For a while, Carnage was basically top dog in the symbiote pecking order. Just as Venom is a step beyond Spider-Man in terms of strength, Carnage surpasses Venom in terms of both power and potential for destruction.
Carnage was created when Eddie Brock and psychopathic murderer Cletus Kasady were cellmates. When Eddie escaped and left a trace of his symbiote behind, it fused with Kasady. The symbiote's own emotional detachment pairs a little too well with Kasady's insatiable bloodlust, resulting in a super-powered villain who loves murder and is capable of taking on both Spider-Man and Venom at the same time.
Carnage finally gained an enemy who could operate on his level when he accidentally spawned a new symbiote named Scorn. Scorn is bonded to a woman named Tanis Nieves. Because of its unusual origin, the Scorn symbiote is a fusion of biological and technological life. That means that not only does Tanis have strength to match Carnage, but her suit ca...
Nov 17, 2023 · Unlike the Venom symbiote, the original Anti-Venom symbiote does not have a mind of its own, but it can detect illnesses or toxins within people and heal them. Ever since Anti-Venom tried to use this power on Peter Parker, the symbiote also interferes with Spider-Man's abilities whenever they're near each other.
