Ahh man, ZED I'm sorry... That is really flattering. I'm not trying to be rude or mean here I'm just getting agitated because you're using (and keep using) examples from comics that don't support the premise of your points. When you do that you're just spreading propaganda. I'm all for making your character out to be their toughest but this isn't the way to do it.
For instance, the Signs of the Boss ex: I'm sorry, but it's simply very hard to assume that Venom was on his knees due to the force of the hit, especially when you consider his powers, career and generally how weak that spider guy looked. From all appearances I would venture to say Venom fell to his knees due to the initial shock caused by poison that was injected in him. Exampled by the sheer amount of crap he puked out immediately after.
It shows that his symbiote can compensate for poisons sure.. but it doesn't show Venom taking vital damage from stabbing and eviseration. Again those legs didn't penetrate very deep, and they hit Brock all along his back. I never argued that he couldn't tank a lot of damagem but that's not even a lot of damage.. that instance doesn't support your argument fot vitals one way or the other at allllll.
The nightmare example doesn't either. When Wolverine gut checks Venom the next panel Venom is on the ground nursing the hit point.
Again this isn't necessarily a vital shot in comics (I'm going to assume I don't have to start pointing out right now how many people without healing factors have survived those kinds of wounds and gotten up from them no less), yes Venom got up, as one would expect him to, but it did hurt him.
And, when Wolverine surmised that he couldn't kill Venom "here"... he was making a reference to the fact that he might not be able to do it in the dream demon realm they were in at the moment, he also surmised that it wouldn't stop him from hurting Venom, and Venom didn't argue did he?
Either way, it doesn't prove your point because in the nightmare realm according to that arc he necessarily COULDN'T land a vital shot.
The Ongoing clone thing... Again the symbiote was developing powers as it went and became self sufficient and not reliant on a host with the exception of using them for food.
You kill Brock you beat Venom
The clone didn't work that way.
And there you go using artistic interpretations to support your point... that won't fly.
The She-hulk incident... Again very suspect, because that Venom was either displaced in time, or from another demension alltogether,, as were all the heroes and super villains that were summoned in that arc. I'd say that it did not appear as though Brock was anywhere to be seen in that comic, the symbiote sure, but not Brock in it.
Now.. We've seen the symbiote capible of stretching out to become very big looking but it's practically a body suit as soon as it merges with Brock again, always has been that way, I would assume that it's one of the reasons he was impressed with what he could do to his mass during the Madness. 😬
Carnage has never used the telepathic/psyonic abilities of his suit in battle, and telepathic abilities are wasted on Sabretooth as has been proven many many times. The suit does run through his blood stream but still suffers the same aformentioned limitations as they all do. There's no evidence to suggest otherwise.
And like you said, Logan only tagged his shoulder...that's not a vital blow by any means.
Also like you said, Anti-Venom has a "lack of weaknesses" I'm not really sure how you can go on pretending that it's strictly comparible to the good ol' Venom we grew up with. 😕
So far you've proven that Venom can tank most types of Damage and that he has a healing factor, we all knew that. But one knife stab to the shoulder, one gut check, a couple pin points to the back... those are not impressive enough to secure the position that Symbiotes can compensate for vital damages to their hosts.... a position that's already been countered by the deaths of several of Venom's children.... These examples are not only lacking in their ability to support your case but they are also literally NOTHING compared to what Sabretooth will compress into even a minute of battle in h2h in this fight.
I mean I can maintain that the symbiotes can tank a lot of damage for their hosts too, but do you really think they could take having their hosts throat ripped out, brain cut into, heart stabbed, neck broken, having a whole drilled right through their stomaches, or simply being diced into bits on the ground? Because thats the kind of damage Sabretooth can take and likely what kind he'll be apt to also dish out.
