10 Superpowers Venom Still Hasn"t Used After 3 Marvel Movie Appearances

Summary
  • Venom's symbiote biology grants him durability and the ability to survive extreme environments without needing to breathe.
  • Venom can play dead by stopping his own heart, fooling even the most perceptive heroes and villains.
  • Venom's tongue is not just for show - it is as flexible and strong as his tentacles, rivaling the X-Men villain Toad's tongue.
As both a hero and a villain, Venom has a versatile power set that his movies have only scratched the surface of, with plenty of obscure abilities in the comics that have still yet to make a film appearance. First appearing on the big screen in the finale of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy in 2007, Venom has since gone on to head his own solo series in Sony's spin-off Spider-Man villain universe. A powerful lethal protector, there are few powered individuals that can truly give Venom trouble.
Films featuring Venom have so far taken advantage of the obvious benefits of his symbiote biology, including super-strength, durability, and generation and control of versatile, tentacle-like appendages. 2007's Venom also got some perks from the symbiote's time spent attached to Spider-Man, including webs and wall-crawling, will which Tom Hardy's version lacks, as well as the perk of not triggering Spider-Sense. Of course, comics are never afraid to get more out-there with the applications of what may start as a limited set of powers, leading to some crazy feats the films have never attempted.
10 Not Needing To Breathe Venom's durability extends far beyond bullets and punches Venom's invulnerability to conventional forms of damage is well-known in the movies, with Tom Hardy's suited-up Lethal Protector shrugging off point-blank shotgun blasts like they're nothing. But the parasitic anti-hero is also well-protected against more esoteric forms of damage from extreme environments. Perhaps owing to the symbiote's origin as a spacefaring alien, Eddie Brock doesn't require air in the comics so long as Venom is bonded to him, as his skin directly provides oxygen to his blood.
9 Stopping His Own Heart Venom can play dead well enough to fool even the most perceptive heroes and villains In the rare instances in the comics in which Venom found himself to be outmatched, the dual-minded hero always had one extra trick up his sleeve -- Playing possum. It turns out, the symbiote is capable of stopping Eddie's heart for brief periods of time. This allows him to evade capture by convincingly pretending to be dead, a niche ability that can nonetheless prove to be incredibly useful.
8 Prehensile Tongue Venom's trademark tongue isn't just for show. Close One of the most iconic features of Venom's appearance is his long, hanging tongue, frequently used in the movies to intimidate his foes. While the impressive taste-tester doesn't see much in terms of practical combat use in any of Venom's movie appearances, Marvel Comics have demonstrated that Venom's tongue is just as flexible and strong as any of his standard tentacles. In fact, Venom may even rival the X-Men villain Toad for the most impressive tongue in the Marvel Universe.
7 Shape-Shifting Disguises Venom in the comics is a versatile master of disguise Venom's shape-shifting abilities are well-documented in the movies, taking advantage of the symbiote's amorphous form to create a variety of appendages and forms for the mission at hand. In the comics, however, this shape-shifting extends to color and texture, rather than just shape. Using Venom, Eddie is able to effortlessly disguise himself, emulating different skin tones, faces, and clothes using the symbiote's power.
6 Invisibility Venom's color-changing skin takes stealth to the next level Even more useful in stealth than his disguises, Marvel Comics' Venom's best asset when it comes to sneaking around is his ability to totally blend in to his environment. It turns out that the symbiote's skin is capable of changing color so rapidly, that it can essentially render itself and its user completely transparent by mimicking the world around it, creating a sort of invisibility. While it isn't perfect camouflage, it still provides a great way for Venom to get the drop on his opponents.
5 Vacuum-Sealing Webbing Venom's webs can do things that even Spider-Man's can't Close Topher Grace's Venom in the Sam Raimi Spider-Man trilogy got the benefit of Peter Parker's powers, including webbing and wall-crawling. In the comics, Venom takes webslinging to the next level, having even more control over his sticky goo than Peter Parker does. Venom is able to finely manipulate his webbing even after it leaves his body, capable of vacuum-sealing helpless enemies inside by forcibly sucking out all the air between the membranes of his webs.
4 Traveling Through Phone Lines Venom's unique body is capable of making some crazy journeys in the comics As a colloidal liquid mass, the symbiote can ooze its way through nearly any obstacle, even if it needs at least a thin connection tethering it to a humanoid host to survive long-term. In the comics, Venom has pushed this idea to its absolute limits by traveling through phone lines, thinly stretching into a molecular monofilament and transmitting himself like a telephone call. It's unlikely that this absurd power could ever work in live action, but it deserves points for creativity if nothing else.
3 Digital Projection It turns out that Venom can create his own digital avatar If traveling via phone lines is a dubious, but technically valid way for Venom to transmit himself technologically, his comic powers of digital projection veer into the realm of straight-up fantasy. Somehow, it seems that Venom is capable of manifesting a digital version of himself by "entering the system on a molecular level". A clear relic of the 90s comics' dim understanding of the early internet, this hilariously bizarre power is unlikely to even be considered for the relatively gritty Venom films.
2 Technopathy Venom can do more with machines than just travel through them Close Stretching his tentacles into impossibly thin threads and weaving himself into machinery has been used by the Venom of the comics for more than just transportation. By subtly infiltrating mechanical and electrical systems, Venom is able to engage in a limited form of Technopathy, or mental control of machines, though he needs to be at point-blank range to do so. Curiously, this power appears to be a signature technique of Carnage, who is more adept than his father symbiote at controlling technology -- Carnage's single film appearance was able to show off this specialty.
1 Forcing His Host To Sleep The comic's symbiote has a disturbing hold over Eddie's circadian rhythm Eddie Brock and Venom, in both the movies and the comics, have had a tumultuous relationship at best, with the alien's mental and physical influence leaving the hapless photographer struggling to wrestle control of his own life back. Disturbingly, their chaotic dynamic is even more abusive in the comics, in which Venom is capable of pacifying Eddie into sleep if he gets too fed up with his humanity. It's unclear whether Venom could ever extend this power into beings other than his host, raising some curious questions as to just how much say Eddie Brock has in his own life.
