what kind of tactic do you think Lizard would use in a fight against Venom?
Mostly I just see Lizard using his tail to attack his enemy's, I may be wrong but anyway, Venom has a spider-sense and webbing so Venom would dodge every attack Lizard is trying out because the spider-sense will warn him, and If Venom gets tired he can web Lizard in the eyes from a wall and there catch his breath. And here comes the part about that Venom doesn't outsmart the enemies, as you said. Here's a way Venom will outsmart Lizard which Spider-Man has fallen victim to: Lizard and Venom is in the sewers and they stand a distance from each other in the water, then Venom is sending a piece of his symbiote on Lizards foot and draging Lizard to him, after that then Venom is gonna kick Lizards green ass really tough...
sorry Lizard-fans
