==Summary==
Eddie Brock, A.K.A, Venom is a protagonist from the Marvel vs. Capcom series. Putting the blame on Peter Parker for the failure of his journalism career, the former Daily Bugle reporter bonded with a malevolent, symbiotic alien creature who had previously attempted to bond with Peter. United by the goal to destroy Spider-Man for "ruining their innocence", they are the fearsome force known only as Venom.
Despite his animosity towards Spider-Man, Venom displays a strong sense of justice, fighting to protect the innocent and battle evil. His procedures, however, can be a little twisted, as they often threaten to crush the skulls of his enemies and devour their brains.
He would go on to respond to the arrival of Onslaught, fighting alongside the heroes of both his and Capcom's Earths. Later, the sky pirate known as Ruby Heart would enlist Brock as well as several others from Marvel and Capcom's worlds to aid in the battle against Abyss. After successfully taking down the mysterious threat, Venom would form a one-sided friendship with Strider Hiryu.

*Venom Fang: Venom lunges forward while morphing into a giant mouth. Depending on attack strength, this attack can cover the screen.
*Venom Rush: Venom releases fragments of the symbiote to sneak across the ground before several entrails jump up and attack. This technique can juggle opponents, and its range depends on attack strength, reaching the farthest with the heavy version.
*Venom Throw: Formerly known as Web Throw, Venom shoots a web at the opponent. If the web shot connects, Venom will slam the opponent over his head and into the ground multiple times before throwing the opponent behind him. With the heavy version, Venom can aim at a 45 degree angle, making it a great anti-air attack.
*Venom Barrel: An aerial attack where Venom rushes towards his opponent while flailing his symbiote tentacles. This technique causes a pushback wallbounce against his opponents on the final burst.
*Venom Trap: Venom projects a Symbiote wave, controlling its range depending on attack strength. The wave will remain in the battlefield for a short period of time before launching a giant symbiotic mouth from the ground. If an opponent walks into it, they'll be trapped in a cocoon of symbiote sludge. They'll remained trapped until the cocoon eventually explodes, knocking down the opponent. If the opponent tries to jump, super jump, or even fly over the trap, the giant symbiotic mouth will stretch from the ground, capturing the opponent and pulling them back down to the ground, overall making the move near impossible to escape.
*Venom Glide: Similarly to Spider-Man, Venom shoots a long string of web, which travels across the screen. Once the string makes contact with an opponent or a wall, Venom pulls himself to that direction. He can aim and shoot at an up-forward, up-backwards and straight-upwards or down-forward angle while on the ground/air respectively. Can also be done in the air.
|-|Hyper Combos=
*Death Bite: Venom releases a series of looped, rapid Venom Rushes that will attack the opponent while moving across the screen.

7f2z43.gif|MvCI
*Venom Bash: Venom's Level 3 Hyper Combo in Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, where he lunges towards his opponent with Venom Fang. If it connects, Venom uses his back throw move before throwing his opponent forward to the air, binding them with his web. After Venom jumps and smacks his opponent to the ground, he will then finish them off by smashing onto them.
|-|Infinity Gems=
*Power Gem: Venom can use the Power Gem to increase his attack damage for a short period of time. In Infinite, the Infinity Surge version grants him a powerful attack with increased pushback force.
*Time Gem: Venom can use the Time Gem to increase his movement speed for a brief time. In Infinite, the Infinity Surge version allows him to move a set distance forward or backwards in the form of an instant dash that goes through the opponent and their attacks. 
*Reality Gem: Venom can use the Reality Gem to create three different elemental projectiles across the screen; electric spheres, icicles and fire orbs. In Infinite, the Infinity Surge version will make him launch a slow, homing energy burst with each use.
*Space Gem: Venom can use the Space Gem to increase his defense for a period of time, which reduces damage taken from his opponent's attacks. In Infinite, the Infinity Surge version allows him to push the opponent forward or backwards, and the Infinity Storm version seals them in a large, square force cage which restricts their movement for a while.
*Mind Gem: Venom can use the Mind Gem to constantly refill his Hyper Combo gauge for a short period of time. In Infinite, the Infinity Surge version provides him with a special throw attack which instantly stuns an opponent if hit.
*Soul Gem: Venom can use the Soul Gem to increase/fill his health for a short period of time. In Infinite, the Infinity Surge version grants him a far-reaching energy attack which absorbs the health off the opponent upon hit.
