The Marvel Hero's new poisoned form revealed the 1 true weakness of all symbiotes

fans Poison know that symbiotes are one of the most powerful entities in the Marvel Universe. However, every symbiote has a weakness. But as it continues The poison wara superhero has proven that no matter what can change has a weakness that no symbiote can resist. And nothing burns like fire.

The final weakness of the symbiotes is confirmed Venom War: Deadpool #2 by Cullen Bunn and Rob Di Salbo. With release The poison war'zombies', many familiar heroes have been infected and turned their friends into terrifying threats. One of the most intriguing was Man-Thing, who has the ability to physically burn anyone who feels fear (literally). Andi Benton, host of the Silence symbiote, manages to use her powers to attempt to burn the symbiote on Man-Thing. However, this requires touching her by facing her burning touch.

Anti-Venom's previously always-reliable ability to purge the symbiote from its host failed, proving that even Andi would burst into flames at the touch of Man-Thing. To prove it once and for all: The symbiote's anti-Venom strains can be effective against most opponents, but there's nothing like good old-fashioned fire to drive a symbiote from its host.

Anti-Venom's touch is so powerful that its cleansing abilities once nearly burned off all the radiation in Peter Parker's blood, coming tantalizingly close to completely curing him of Spider-Man's superpowers.

Fire remains the Biggest Weakness for Marvel's Symbiotes

Knull's Creation of the First Symbiote Sword Made All His Children Eternal

Symbiotes may be powerful, but they are traditionally vulnerable to two things: intense heat and sound frequencies. Witnessing the weakness on full display makes two distinct points, the first of which is how effective it is for any symbiote to be somewhat resistant to flame. The origin of these weaknesses is revealed to the readers during the saga Black King storyline tells the origin of the symbiotes like never before.

The story explained that the symbiotes were created as servants of Knull, the God of the Symbiotes, to spread death and destruction throughout the universe. When Knull began turning the literal darkness of the abyss into a weapon, he did so to create the mighty All Black, the Necrosword. It was from this weapon that all symbiotes would eventually be born and the heat of the flames and the clang of Knull's hammer are the source of these inherent weaknesses in the symbiote race.. Only when Marvel readers understand this weakness regarding the birth of symbiotes can they understand what Carnage has accomplished in the Marvel Universe in recent years.

Carnage Is The Only Symbiote To Overcome Their One True Weakness

In his mission to find, defeat, absorb, and in every way surpass Knull as the one true God of the symbiotes, Carnage gained the powers of other iconic Marvel characters to overcome the weaknesses of most symbiotes and grant them invulnerability never before possible. Immune to Sonic, fire, and no longer even requiring Cletus Kasady as a host, Carnage has reached a level of power unmatched by any of Marvel's named symbiotes. Prior to this event, Carnage demonstrated that Anti-Venom was no longer a threat. At the time, it seemed that this was the last, most “unattainable” immunity. But it is not so.

thanks to The poison war's confrontation between Man-Thing and Silence, it is clear that Fire remains superior to Anti-Venom due to the common inheritance of “all known symbiote weaknesses”. The importance of this difference cannot be overlooked; Anti-Venom's powers allow him to burn any negative chemicals or disease from a person's bloodstream, which has been proven. extremely effective against symbiotes of the past, destroying the symbiote from the host with a momentary touch. This established lore can be challenged more than before The poison war is over, but fans better start taking detailed notes.
