Venom and Carnage have infected many characters during their stay in the Marvel multiverse. They’ve both added big hitters and were already big hitters in their own right. Venom and Carnage will always be rivals, in their base forms Carnage is stronger, but when super forms come into play this gets tricky.
Let’s start off with Carnage! He absorbed Ben Reilly, Spidey’s Dad, Silver Surfer, and John Jameson. A decent list, but aside from Silver Surfer the other guys aren’t much better than base form. Venom on the other hand….let’s just say he has a lot. He’s got Hulk, Thor, Ms Marvel, Wolverine, Spiderman, She Hulk and many, many, many more. He also got a giant super form in Spiderman Web of Shadows.
So for this match I’d say Venom has a pretty big lead over Carnage. Carnage is strong, but he doesn’t have Deadpool! Absorbing Deadpool also helps Venom in the long run. Venom wins.

Good battle, but I would also go with Venom, as the victor.
Yeah, he has more variety in his forms and overall more experience…..and it doesn’t hurt to have access to the powers of Hulk and Thor!
Acually I go with carnage he can’t die unless he gets put in fire and he has a lot more knowledge than venom
In normal form Carnage is indeed stronger than Venom, but remember…this is composite! So Venom has the power of Hulk, Thor, and most of the Avengers at his side. Carnage does have Spiderman and Silver Surfer though. So it’s still a good fight
i disagree in the games sound also starts to kill him. so supersonic sounds will kill him.
Yeah, they’re both weak against sounds as well. Of course Venom has more power ups at his disposal 😎
and where did you get that Carnage was stronger in his base form? they never fought when they were just goop lol
Well, I meant classic forms. Eddie Brock vs Cassidy. He’s “apparently” stronger than Venom and Spidey teaming up 😉
I say Carnage by a land slide. Hulk and Thor maybe powerful, but the herald of galactus? AND Carnage got him?
True, Cosmic Carnage is definitely a huge power up! Without those bigshots like Thor and Ms Marvel I think Carnage may win this, but I think that those power ups give Venom the win. Ms Marvel and Thor are very fast!
Marvel portrays Carnage as superior. Not that it’ll be easy though.
Carnage is physically stronger for sure and he does seem to have the edge typically, but Venom has more experience and he’s gotten bulked up a few times in the past.
