Luke Cage vs. Agent Venom

Fight in NYC, no civilians around. Anything goes.

vs.

venom kills him easily if he chooses to.... this is nearly spite imo.

Huh? Why do you say that?

I forgot to mention, this is of course Flash before he became the champion of the symbiote race.

He can suffocate Cage.

Flash is not Gargan, who had the worst track record of all Marvel villains. Thompson can keep fighting even with his brain sliced in half...

Modern symbiotes heal too fast.

Not saying cage wins, but couldn't a thunder clap work?

Smothering is a viable option, but Flash has never done that before... So I'd say it's about as likely as a thunder clap from Cage.

In character, these two would brawl. I'd still give a slight edge to Agent Venom though, due to his crazy damage soak and Spider Man esque speed/agility

no. he's resisted sonic attacks before and cage isn't strong enough to really threaten him with that level of thunderclap anyway. there really is almost no way for cage to win this fight imo, unless we resort to pis. cis could come into play, which is why i said if venom REALLY wants him dead....

The Venom Symbiote has brawled with the Hulk and Juggernaut, and considering who he was fighting. Looked damn good.

Strength-wash
Durability-wash
Speed-Venom
Versatility-Venom
Skill-wash imo. Flash has military training, Luke knows how to fight well enough from Danny.

Add in webbings and tendrils, and Flash can sling Luke around all day long and there is nothing Luke can do about it.

Lukes Thunderclap isnt even close to some of the sonics Venom has fought through. This is a stomp, Luke has no advantages in this fight at all while Venom has several.

Flash beat Captain America without venoming out, in his "base" symbiote soldier mode.

Captain America. The guy that destroys the Hulk, makes Onslaught bleed, etc.

I used to want Eddie Back so bad, but Flash is doing good things with the symbiote.

Anyone is better than Gargan.

It will take long years to fix Venom's reputation.

I like Agent Venom, he's been my favorite so far in fact.
