Swordsman did NOT mess up Venom by stabbing him. In fact Venom had 3/4 of the blade sticking in his gut and he was mocking Swordsman. Its when Swordsman used his power and basically blew Gargan up that it had any effect. Can Wolverine's claws do that?
"Well actually in the special PizzaHut X-Men promotion limited comic run back in 1993, Wolverine....."
What have I twisted?
I didn't state that Swordsman beat Venom as that would have been inclusive of the electro bolt. What I DID state was that Swordsmen gave Venom problems. And that's exactly what happened. In spite of Venom supposedly being a great deal faster and too much for Logan to handle, Swordsman was using his blade to keep Venom at bay, cutting off his fingers and stabbing him in the torso. Swordsman's stab only got the tip of the blade into Gargon because Gargon had already raged the suit into the size of a house. EVEN THEN Gargon let out a RHAAAAA when he got stabbed with an OWWWW afterwards. And the bolt didn't really effect Gargon to the point of a put down, Swordsman's subsequent jamming of his sword all the way through Gargon however DID.
So if Venom is so fearsome why on earth did a third rate fighter like Swordsman take him out? Why was he able to pace Venom in battle? Swordsmen's been easily handled by Cap and Flag Jack like a chump, Wolverine would beat him mind controlled, after fighting an army of hydra agents, while missing a piece of his soul without breaking a sweat.. Oh wait.
