The Marvel Universe’s most fascinating extraterrestrials have been the symbiotes (an alien race called the Klyntars).
Symbiotes are parasitic species that require connecting with host. They have always been a powerful force and a force to reckon with.
We have compiled a list of 10 most powerful symbiotes and now we want to see which one is the best.
It is worth noting, however, that we will not be counting hosts and instead focus on extraterrestrial entities. Let’s get started with that thought in mind.
10/10 Venom: It’s Not The Most Powerful Symbiote
Venom, one of the 10 most powerful symbiotes, is the most well-known and first to arrive in Marvel’s universe. However, he is also the weakest.
This is because Venom is the first in the bloodline. Symbiotes’ offspring are exponentially stronger than their parent. Venom is also the reason why all offspring symbiotes that are born from him are even more powerful.
Each generation of the symbiote has a greater power than its predecessor. It all comes down to how you use it.
Eddie Brock was a firm believer in the Venom symbiote. However, other hosts, Flash Thompson, Mac Gargan, and Peter Parker, have shown distinct variations in its functionality.
Venom first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man issue 252 in 1984 as an alien costume which bonded with Peter Parker during Secret Wars. Venom would not become Venom, and not just a parasitic-symbiote, until The Amazing Spider-Man.
It was reconnected with Eddie Brock 4 years later. Brock at the time had vowed to take revenge on Peter Parker’s journalism career.
9/10 Manic/Madman:
In 2003, the Mania symbiote made its debut in Venom volume 1, issue 1. It was cloned using Venom taken by the Ararat Corporation in the hope of dispersing it all over the planet.
Mania was a strange creature. Instead of bonding with its hosts, it would brutally kill them just for the joy of it. It formed a bond with Eric Moody, who was a prisoner, and then it jumped ship to Alfonse poina, an elderly mental patient.
Moody attempted to fight Mania but it bonded with Alfonse, mocking Moody for having been raped in prison. It then raped Moody and killed him.
This is a clear indication that this is not the most friendly symbiote in the 10 Most Powerful Symbiotes.
After forming a friendship with Lee Price, who was already close to Venom, Maniac evolved into Maniac. Price ambushed the original host, injuring her with flamethrowers and a sonic gunnon, and renamed Mania Maniac. He then took control of the symbiote.
Price seems to be inextricably attached to Mania and rely on his immense willpower to keep his relationship with the symbiote strong.
8/10 Scream:
The list of the 10 most powerful Symbiotes ranks Scream at number 8. Lethal Protector was a Venom storyarc that was published in 1993.
It told the story of the evil Life Foundation, its head, Carlton Drake. Drake was a scientist who created a way to create symbiote soldiers by taking seeds from Klyntar alien races and growing them into fully grown symbiotes.
These symbiotes were intended to be used by the Life foundation as guardians. They had a long list wealthy clients who paid the Life foundation to ensure they could live comfortably if the world became ***..
After kidnapping Eddie Brock, Drake was able bond the offspring with the security team of the foundation. He also forcibly extracted five Venom seeds. Donna Diego was one of the victims. She became the yellow-and-red Scream.
Eddie Brock defeated her and eventually killed her. However, Brock’s siblings outlived her and created a lot of problems in the future.
7/10 Riot:
Riot is getting a lot attention lately because of his upcoming theatrical debut in Sony Venom, starring Tom Hardy playing Eddie Brock.
Riot is Scream’s brother; Riot bonds with Trevor Cole (a particularly aggressive and unbalanced mecenary who works for the Life foundation’s security forces). Riot is known for being the largest symbiote of the five and for using extremely brutal and aggressive combat techniques.
He was known for creating massive bludgeoning weapons out of his arms, such hammers or maces. However, his true strength level was not revealed.
Eddie Brock beat him and sent him and his siblings to the Vault. This is a prison for superhuman offenders that also has a wing for extraterrestrial threats.
He was then experimented upon, and in the Planet of the Symbiotes storyarc in 1995 Venom, trying to subdue an invading symbiotes invasion, let out a loud, telekinetic scream which drives them all to suicide. This then affects Riot, his brothers and himself.
This will take us to the next number on our list of 10 Most Powerful Synbiotes.
6/10 Hybrid:
Riot and his siblings managed to escape the vault after Venom’s telepathic screech. They were subsequently merged into Hybrid, which was a super hybrid symbiote, that would temporarily bond with Scott Washington, a guard at The Vault.
Scott realized that Hybrid was not a threat by merging with Hybrid. Instead, the tests it had been through were making Hybrid very anxious. The symbiotes kept Scott, who has a lot anger issues, away from becoming violent.
Eddie Brock went on a mission looking for symbiotes. He ended up killing Scott Washington. This was unfortunate for Hybrid, and its desire to be a kind-hearted vigilante.
The US Army would then find Hybrid and separate him. They would then deploy him to the Mercury Team to fight Carnage.
Riot, along with the other symbiotes, was clearly more powerful than a single one. Due to their similar skills and power to Scream, Riot, and Lasher, the sibling symbiotes Phage, Agony and Lasher did not make it onto this list.
As you can see in Carnage versus Deadpool Lasher was trained to be bonded with War Dog, which is really cool. A dog and a symbiote We’ll get to the point, however, about carnage.
The Hybrid is number 6 on the list of 10 most powerful Symbiotes.
5/10 Carnage:
Carnage on the other side has never been one who holds back. He can sometimes be a little too loose, which can make him vulnerable.
In 1992, The Amazing Spider-Man issue 360 featured Carnage. Carnage was created to be a darker version of Venom. It is a psychopath who has no regard for morality.
Cletus Kasady was Venom’s host and is often shown as Venom’s archenemy.
How did he get here?
He’s Venom’s descendant. Venom’s spawn left Eddie Brock’s prison cell, and Venom reconnected in prison with him.
Klyntar doesn’t feel any emotional connection to their children. He didn’t tell Eddie because he didn’t believe it was important.
Carnage was created when the Kasady symbiote offspring formed a bond with Kasady. Their connection was stronger than Brock’s with Venom.
Carnage was released from prison and began to murder people, left, right and center. The word Carnage was inscribed in blood at each crime scene.
The Carnage ranks 5th on the list of 10 Most Powerful Synbiotes.
4/10 Scorn:
Scorn is a Carnage-created hybrid prosthesis which combines technology and the symbiote. After breaking free from the Raft prison.
American industrialist Michael Hall brings back the carnage from Carnage to Earth. He locks Cletus Kasady up and then uses the symbiote for new armor suits.
Carnage escapes from its prison and forms a relationship with Tanis Nieves (a psychiatrist). Things get strange when they stop being normal.
Nieves is infected by Carnage’s own children. Nieves, fearful of this, cuts off Nieves’ arm. However, she later reattaches it to it and transforms into Scorn.
Scorn is a techno hybrid, a machine-symbiote capable of fusing itself with various types of technology and weapons.
The Scorn is number 4 on the list of 10 most powerful Symbiotes.
