Ok, this thread didn't actually specify Venom, it said the black symbiote vs. the red symbiote, which wouldn't work because they need hosts to fight. Anyway, confused, Venom is superior to Carnage, that has been depicted numerous times. Venom absorbed Carnage and virtually made himself doubly strong. Venom beat Carnage without Spidey's help, Spider-Man was just there to keep Venom from killing Carnage during the Maximum Carnage story. In other plotlines, Carnage usually runs away.
