Venom (Marvel)

Venom, real name Eddie Brock, is an anti-hero/villain from the Marvel media franchise. He is Spider-Man’s arch-nemesis and sometimes ally. Nowadays, the character can be seen as a hero rather than an anti-hero/villain.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) Venom has a great and iconic design that stands out, Venom’s designer being Todd McFarland who designed and created the character Spawn.
 * 2) In the 2010s, Venom has received a lot of praise and has his own movie along with being the main protagonist in various comic books.
 * 3) He even got his own song by Eminem.
 * 4) Compared to every villain of Spider-Man’s rogue gallery, Venom is the most interesting and appealing.
 * 5) Venom has gotten a lot of character development throughout the years.
 * 6) Venom has helped Spider-Man on multiple occasions, most notable being in Lethal Protector.
 * 7) He even appears in the 1990’s animated series, and his voice is awesome.
 * 8) The concept behind the character is great and original.
 * 9) In the Spider-Man 2000 game, he was one of the most entertaining and funniest characters. He even teams up with Spidey.
 * 10) WE...ARE VENOM!
 * 11) Eyes, lungs, pancreas... So many snacks, so little time.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Topher Grace’s portrayal as Venom in Spider-Man 3 was very disappointing. He didn’t sound or speak like Venom also. However, he did look like him a little bit. Not to mention the amount of potential he had to succeed and be a great version of the character.
 * 2) His voice in Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite is cringe-worthy. It would be way more fitting for Carnage.
 * 3) His 2018 movie can be hit-or-miss, depending on how the viewer feels about it.
