**Weaknesses:**

* Venom/Toxin/Magic Venom
* Anti-Venom
* Legion/Captain Universe

* **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.

- **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.
Possesses severe Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder following his encounters with Knull.
