Unit Strategy Review: Venom

(My may change when I get the figure)

Venom- See spider-man. A bit weaker. B+

I've warmed up to Venom. Think of it this way - when Spidey avoids an attack, he swings away, out of range. When Venom avoids an attack, he laughs insanely and swings towards his aggressor, then proceding to beat the everloving snot out of him. Plus, his sculpt looks awesome.

Each of the pairs of characters in Marvelscape are supposed to be Hero/Villain, but Venom's class is Vigilante. This representation of Venom was the Hero, not the Villain.

Vigilantes don't have to be good guys. That term doesn't mean they are fighting for the right side.

Thought they don't have to be completely "good", vigilante does mean taking the law into one's own hands and fighting crime so it wouldn't apply to outright criminals. I think the version of Venom they were going for was the current one in the Thunderbolts, who is supposedly a "good" guy.

Nope. The sculpt is totally different. The Heroscape Venom is definitely Eddie Brock. Look at the box art. He's fighting Spider-Man.

Venom has been a vigilante for a long time. And even had his own book for awhile. But that did'nt stop him and Spider-man from clashing.

We'll find out if this is supposed to be the one in Thunderbolts or not when/if they release a bio. Since the one in Thunderbolts is Mac Gargan, the guy that used to be the Scorpion.

Personally, even if they do make him Gargan, which i doubt, he'll always be Eddie Brock to me in the game.

From the other thread on this:

Also, this is definitely the Eddie Brock Venom. The Gargan Venom has visible eyes inside the while area and a significantly different looking chest design. The flat eyes and black costume spider pattern were only on the Eddie Brock version.

[jcb231]

Vigilantes may fight crime, but it doesn't have to be for good reasons....one criminal could pay a vigilante to kill other criminals and eliminate his competition. The term doesn't indicate he isn't a villain.

[AKflip]

Well the main thing about Venom in this set is that he doens't really like any of these heroes. Also (Eddie Brock) Venom isn't mentally stable. We've seen him flip flop on the side of good and evil several times. Each time its been for his own benefit. And since you can make the armies anyway you like, just come up with your own reason as to why Venom is doing what he is doing.

[AKflip]

Also I wish that they had a power that dealt with the symbiote. Also Venom negates Spidey's Spider sense. I just wish they gave Venom a different power to help seperate them a bit.
