Attack Potency: Large Building level+ (Consistently shown as being superior to Spider-Man, to the point where the Symbiote, even without a host, can fight on par with him, Spider-Man has admitted that Venom has all of his powers but with more strength, and he has killed an alternate universe version of Black Suit Spider-ManVenomverse Volume 1 Issue 5 who was able to match him in combat.Venomverse Volume 1 Issue 2 Fought on equal grounds with Scorpion as both VenomVenom Volume 1 Issue 150Venom Volume 1 Issue 165 and Anti-Venom.Amazing Spider-Man: Extra!

Was able to overpower Jack O'Lantern and multiple Frost GiantsVenom Volume 4 Issue 14) | Planet level (Possesses the physical strength of The Thing.Absolute Carnage Volume 1 Issue 5 Fought and defeated Fifth Form Dark Carnage who had just defeated HulkAbsolute Carnage Volume 1 Issue 5 and power surpassed that of Juggernaut) | Low Outerverse level (Wields the full power of the Enigma Force, which is the very spirit of Eternity,Defenders Vol. 6 #4Defenders Vol. 4 #2Defenders: Beyond #2 without which Earth-616 itself instantly collapsesDefenders Vol. 4 #3) | High Outerverse level (As the Onyx King, he is the dark counterpart of The Beyonders, residing in the qlippothic reflection of their realm, the Un-Beyond, and tending to the "Black Engine" lying therein, just as the Beyonders maintain the Concordance Engine)
Speed: Hypersonic combat speed (Comparable in speed to Spider-Man and Carnage.

Weaknesses:<tabber>
|-|Venom/Toxin/Magic Venom=
*Mental Instability: Eddie has been repeatedly shown relapsing into his unstable "lethal protector" mindset. As both Venom and Toxin he reverts to this persona, killing criminals just as offhandedly. He is also addicted to the power bestowed upon him by being bonded to a symbiote, which has causes drastic shifts in his personality.
*Sonic and Heat: The Venom symbiote, like all others of its kind, is vulnerable to heat and sonic based attacks. They can cause the symbiote physical pain and discomfort, though as Venom has evolved this weakness only applies to exceedingly powerful applications of these attacks. The Toxin symbiote is more resilient to these attacks than most other members of its species.
|-|Anti-Venom=
*Mental Instability: Eddie has been repeatedly shown relapsing into his unstable "lethal protector" mindset. Recently as Anti-Venom he's seemingly reverted back to this persona, killing criminals just as offhandedly as before despite the obvious option of curing them of their drug addictions and actually helping them with his powers.
*Darkforce: As Anti-Venom is formed from the Lightforce it is vulnerable to the Darkforce, which can weaken or nullify the suit's healing powers.
*Antibody Overuse: If Anti-Venom overuses his healing powers the symbiote becomes weakened and can potentially be overwhelmed and purged.
|-|Legion/Captain Universe=
Possesses severe Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder following his encounters with Knull.
|-|The Eventuality=
None notable.
