Omega Red.Venom vs

3. I don't think adrealine fuels the healing factor
4. Venom symbiote also has a healing factor (so Red's healing factor gets a huge boost.)

Team for the win though.

1. There are Death Pheromones AND Life Force absorption. Symbiote could be affected.

2. It does. It was stated in Spectacular Spider-Man. If you want I can find the issue later...

The symbiote originally rejected its species' habit of consuming its hosts, but still required certain chemicals (human adrenaline) in order to survive.

3. Yeah, it partially does. At least in Wolverine's case. I don't see why Red's one would work that much differently...

4. Hell no. Not in this case. There's carbonadium, death factor, life force draining and like I said v-symbiote drains adrenalin. They are just incompatible.

1. I don't know why the death pheromones would even affect the symbiote, and as far as I know Red only absorbs life force through his tentacles.
2. Venom symbiote feeds off of Phenethylamine. It has been mentioned during 2 seperate arcs so I'm sure it's more valid that the whole adrealine thing. Especially when the guy who wrote the Spectacular arc didn't even research Venom one bit (For example: Venom symbiote was able to seperate itself from Brock and then again "permanently" bond with him... only to seperate again from him)
3. IIRC Red's healing factor is tied to the amount of lifeforce he has previous drained from people.
4. Again.. Death spores shouldn't affect the symbiote (They don't affect Arkady himself, why would the affect the symbiote bonded to him? why would they even affect a symbiote who's generally immune to poisons) The symbiote could just heal from the radiation (I don't think radiation hurts them as they're able to survive prolonged periods in space) and life force draining, Arkady can control what he wants to drain so I doubt he'd hurt the symbiote in the process.

1. The symbiote cells would be in his bloodstream. It would come in contact with his tentacles. And it was hinted that he can absorb life force in other ways - look at his last fight with Wolverine&Colossus. He made Big C bleed in his metal form. I mean, digging holes in his armor with just fingers couldn't be just a strength feat - it must have been something more. It's just my interpretation though.

2. I know, I didn't like it either. Venom evolved though, it became extremely hostile to his hosts. Perhaps adrenaline satisfies it more.

3. Right, but I think that adrenaline is an important factor, too.

4. Actually they affect Arkady.

Due to the mutant "death factor" and the presence of the carbonadium within his body, Omega Red must drain the life force of others on a regular basis in order to sustain his own physical health and remain active.

OK, he can control LF absorption. You're right. In a fight however he could (not deliberately) hurt symbiote using this power. And what about carbonadium itself? It affects even the most powerful HFs.

1. The symbiote could easily avoid the tentacles. They wouldn't even need to be anywhere near his tentacles. Besides, Arkady will have his tentacles out during the fight aswell.

The Colossus incident was just plain bad writing, Colossus doesn't have blood or tissue when he's armored up. The art doesn't back up your theory that he's absorbing Colossus with his hands.
2. I don't think so. In the past, adrealine is just a factor that makes it possible for the symbiote to emerge.
3. We don't know that.
4. IIRC only when he has released them in a while, only then they'll eat up his body. Their potency also grows if they haven't been realeased in a while.
5. Like I said before, I don't think the radiation is going to do anything to a symbiote which can travel through space without protection.

the colossus fight was beautifully drawn, but brubaker has a habit of forgetting the facts about colossus' powers...

assuming they didn't alter them and forget to tell us...

1. Omega Red extends and inserts tentacles all the time. It's the way he fights. If he didn't, they would limit his maneuverability.

Red's LF absorption is one of his powers, carbonadium tentacles just conduct it in a more efficient way.

2. Like you said - in the past. Current Venom is different.

4. If it can be dangerous to him, it could be at least unpleasant to symbiote.

5. Wolverine happened to "travel" through the space without protection. It didn't affect him as much as ingesting carbonadium.

What I want to say is that even if venom could bond with Omega Red, he wouldn't be his dream host.

1. Can you name any instances where Omega Red has absorbed life force through his hands or via skin contact?

I don't think he bothered to draw his tentacles in when he fought Colossus and Wolverine. He had them out during the whole fight.

2. Fair enough. There's still no proof that Arkady's healing factor works based on adrealine and from what we saw, the symbiote doesn't actually require a lot of adrealine to work properly (The skinny mobster guy certainly wouldn't have the adrealine levels of a guy like Arkady)

4. I don't still see how. The symbiote has been described as inorganic. Acids that turned all organic matter to dust in seconds didn't affect it at all. Arkady isn't affected himself if he doesn't hold the spores for too long.

5.The symbiotes travel between planets. That's a lot longer time period than Wolverine just chilling for a couple of minutes. Besides, it's not like Wolverine is affected by Red's carbonadium tentacles by proximity alone. It only affected his after he ingested it or when it entered his bloodstream.

I don't still see how the symbiotes couldn't bond with Arkady. They can bond with People like the Silver Surfer.

Why bother adding the symbiote when Pyro and Banshee are present?

Peter gives Pyro and Banshee the 411 about the symbiote. They do their thing, while the rest run interference. Red then proceeds to get blasted by Cyclops and Banshee.

Well, I heard Venom's weaknesses to fire and sonics over the years have been reduced to the levels where he can still kick ass nonetheless.

I thought Omega Red was originally made to beat up Colossus. That one game heavily enforced that idea in my head and I have a hard time believing a video game would be inaccurate. Omega Red even did extra damage to Colossus!

😂

OK, you've won.

The combined efforts of Pyro&Banshee would more than likely affect him.

Now I feel like a king.. Except that the debate I "won" was pretty pointless 😮

Anywho, I think Pyro/Banshee could alone beat Venom if they had the change to hit him. He's able to take fire and sonics nowadays, but it's not like he has resistance or anything. (I do think Venom has taken a RPG rocket to the chest without any permanent damage.)

Yeah but so long as it's a weakness, to have guys with those specific abilities, along with everyone else included on the team makes it a lopsided fight to say the least.

And with the talk about the adrenaline issue, there seems to be a lot of factors that are working against Red.

Also, the Death Spores that Red emits are flamable and Logan knows this. So, yeah, a lot of factors could play out and not in Red's favor.
