Venom's Biggest Weakness: Fire! A Marvel Hero Just Proved It!

The Venom War: A Burning Revelation About Symbiote Weaknesses

Symbiotes in Marvel comics are seriously powerful creatures; giving superhuman abilities like insane strength and shape-shifting! But even these baddies aren't invincible.  Venom War: Deadpool #2 (Cullen Bunn and Rob Di Salbo) revealed something seriously huge concerning symbiote weaknesses. And it involves fire! A major storyline development revealed the main weakness to these nasty creatures, that old-school elemental weakness! In this epic new storyline and new encounters, a critical piece of lore emerges!

The new Venom War storyline brings those infamous zombiotes, creating incredibly intense, scary moments as our heroes get infected, turning friends into monstrous foes! Man-Thing (that swamp-monster that burns you if you fear him) is the perfect test case and this crazy-powerful character's fight showed the inherent flaw.   Andi Benton (Silence symbiote) tries burning the symbiote off Man-Thing; yet that involved touch – and that caused the fire and confirmed an important detail! The very thing we previously discussed!

Even that amazingly powerful Anti-Venom symbiote’s purging ability fails, completely failing to protect her from those nasty flames and this moment further emphasizes another fact: this isn’t some simple observation from casual experimentation but something directly relating to the power itself and an innate flaw.

Those capabilities of Anti-Venom are completely crazy. It literally once burned radiation out of Spider-Man’s blood, which is noteworthy; coming insanely close to getting rid of his powers! Its touch, it almost cured his powers entirely. Considering how little attention is otherwise given to how this seemingly straightforward encounter had enormous consequences to the character himself, highlighting just why this detail’s significance remains profound and a major takeaway from those comics themselves!

Even the most powerful symbiotes are vulnerable. Two key things get them every time: intense heat and high-frequency sounds!  This article explains why: It ties this detail back to the awesome King in Black storyline, revealing symbiote origins, making their strengths, but importantly, the Weaknesses even more understandable, clarifying just why those things were significant plot points.

The symbiotes were all created by the Knull (God of the Symbiotes).   His creation of that insanely powerful All-Black, the Necrosword,  was made through fire and the banging of that legendary hammer! The entire event explains why intense heat and high frequencies totally harm them–their creation literally birthed these weaknesses, showcasing their inherent weaknesses, showing how truly limited those seemingly invincible powers truly are.

He resisted those normal Weaknesses: the sound, the flame, even getting rid of the need for a host; and this explains just why this character becomes something seriously overpowered compared to almost everything we had seen in earlier stories; it wasn’t mere chance but actually carefully thought-out powers carefully designed for storytelling opportunities in future narratives!

It also showcases the insanely profound change those powers generate and these will only serve to impact future storylines and add another exciting chapter which might eventually reshape our entire perceptions towards how that universe actually works.
