Venom (Marvel)

 * 8) He even appears in the 1990’s animated series, and his voice is awesome.
 * 9) The concept behind the character is great and original.

 * 11) WE...ARE VENOM!

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Topher Grace’s portrayal as Venom in Spider-Man 3 was very mediocre. He didn’t sound, or speak like Venom also. However he did look like him a little bit.
 * 2) While his own movie made an improvement version of the character, it was sadly panned by critics and currently holds a 26% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and a Metacritic score of 35, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".
 * 3) His voice in Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite is cringe-worthy.
