(Cues: Invader - Jim Johnston)

Wiz: Every champion of justice inspires others whether they mean to or not.

Boomstick: And sometimes that "inspiration" create your worst nightmare.

Wiz: Venom the ultimate antiphasis to Spider-Man.

Boomstick: And Bane the burly genius who broke the Bat.

He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.

Wiz: And it's our job to analyse their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who will win a DEATH BATTLE.

The word "symbiosis" refers to two organisms living in beneficial harmony, such as when two beings bond over an obsessive, psychotic desire to kill Spider-Man.

Boomstick: Eddie Brock was an up and comin' journalist on the brink of national success, when life decided to just shit all over him.

Wiz: One day, Eddie published an article incriminating a man he thought was a serial killer.

However, that very same day, Spider-Man caught the real killer, publicly shaming Eddie.

As a result, Eddie's company fired him, his father disowned him, and his wife left him.

Also, he had cancer.

Boomstick: Damn, talk about a bad day.

Understandably pretty upset about it, Eddie blamed Spider-Man for ruining his life.

This led to his fateful meeting with a weird, black, gooey alien.

Remember Gak from the 90's?

It's just like that, except alive and...

Evil...

Venom: (Roars)

Wiz: This was a symbiote from the planet Klyntar, an alien species with one goal: to grow stronger by fusing with a living host.

I know that sounds intimidating and almost parasitic, but the Klyntar people are naturally a peaceful race.

However, they often inherit their host's traits and personality, this symbiote in particular had previously bonded with a violent alien bent on genocide, and a costumed superhero everybody knows as...

Deadpool.

Boomstick: That crazy lunatic?!

Oh, there's no way this symbiote is sane after that!

Wiz: It wasn't.

Afterward, it bonded with Spider-Man, who experienced this rage and lunacy firsthand.

Horrified by this, Spider-Man eventually discarded the symbiote, unaware the alien had determined Spidey was its ideal host and became obsessed with him.

Boomstick: Much like Bar Trash Cindy that sometimes you go home with, but never really wanna see her again.

So, what do you get when you combine an angry man and a black goo monster both hatefully obsessed with the same guy?

Most just call him: Venom.

Wiz: Did you know?

Eddie came up with the name "Venom" because he felt he was "spewing venom from the tabloids he worked at."

Boomstick: Seriously?

Ugh, I give that origin a 3 out of 10.

Thank God the name's cool at least, and Venom's abilities are even cooler.

He's insanely strong, ridiculously agile, and has a fast paced healin' factor; he can power through bullets with no problem at all.

Plus, the symbiote carries some of the abilities of its previous owners, including Spidey.

That means he can climb on walls and shoot webbin' strong enough that Spidey himself can't break through.

Wiz: Technically speaking, Venom simply reproduces the webbing effects via one of his more useful powers: shapeshifting.

The symbiote can act as a liquid, allowing it to increase Venom's size for intimidation, or even mimic Eddie's everyday clothing for discretion.

Boomstick: Not to mention, Venom can morph into a wingsuit to glide through the air, isolate and purge toxins from the host's body, straight up turn invisible, or simply sprout spikes from simple stabbing weapons!

Wiz: With these abilities seemingly limited only by his twisted imagination, Venom has tangled with his world's many heavy hitters.

He's defeated Spider-Man without having a host, resisted Ghost Rider's penance stare, and shaken off the Hulk's infamous thunder clap.

That's right, he's even taken blows from the Juggernaut and the Hulk!

Boomstick: Even if Venom does get injured, the symbiote can rapidly heal its host, from broken bones, impalement through the chest, or even blasts from an anti-tank rocket!

He's also so speedy that he can catch up to bullets in mid-flight, but if he doesn't feel like it, he'll just take the shot and spit it back with deadly force.

Wiz: He's strong enough to bust down metal doors with his fist, tear apart large military trucks, or throw cars several blocks away.

Boomstick: I mean, part of that's gotta be Brock.

Have you seen how much that dude can lift?

Wiz: Most impressively, Venom once held up a giant carnival ride similar to a ferris wheel even after getting struck by one of his worst weaknesses, a sound gun.

Boomstick: A sound gun?

That's pretty lame.

So I can just beat him if I scream really loud?

Wiz: With enough sound or literal firepower, yes, you could force the symbiote to expose the vulnerable host underneath.

Though I should note that repeated exposure has helped Venom build up some tolerance.

Also, while the symbiote is highly versatile, Venom is not exactly a strategist.

Unsurprising given his apparent insanity.

Eddie Brock: I like being bad.

It makes me happy.

Wiz: The symbiote also requires a diet containing the chemical phenethylamine.

Boomstick: Phene-what?

Does he like, buy that at the store, or...?

Wiz: No, it's found in certain fungi, chocolate, and brain matter, which the symbiote greatly hungers for.

Boomstick: Oh great, now it eats brains!

God this guy is literally a livin' nightmare!

Ashley: Eddie, is that you?

Venom: There's no more Eddie!

And no more symbiote!

Only Venom!

Wiz: In his personal mission to drive crime from Gotham City.

Batman has faced dozens of foes, each more vile and cunning than the last.

But none challenged his sheer willpower more than the monstrous man called Bane.

Boomstick: Bane's life was screwed from the start.

He was born into prison and made to carry out his dead dad's life sentence.

Talk about carryin' the sins of your father.

I mean, who puts a baby in jail?

Couldn't it just like, crawl through the bars?

Did they make a baby jail?

So many questions.

Wiz: The child spent his dawning years in captivity, forced to fend for himself against the cruel and unforgiving world.

Then one day, a fateful accident caused something to snap inside him.

Boomstick: I'm guessin' his neck.

Wiz: No.

Well, it should have.

Instead, the boy slipped into a coma, where he saw a vision of his future self.

A man standing above all other men.

Boomstick: Future self told him he would be second to none, so long as he could conquer the power of fear.

Which is apparently shaped like a bat.

Huh, would you look at that.

What're the odds?

Wiz: When the child awoke, he began his journey to conquer that fear through the power of bloody murder.

Boomstick: Hell yeah!

That's also when the prison warden called him a bane to everything holy.

Wiz: And that's why he's named Bane.

Boomstick: Ugh.

2 out of 10.

Anyway, it wasn't long before Bane caught wind of a certain bat ruling Gotham City by fear.

But he got to work tryin' to become the ridiculously jacked guy he saw in his dream so he could take down Batman once and for all.

Wiz: As he grew up, Bane entered an intense daily workout regimen.

Not just of his body, but his mind as well.

He educated himself in ten languages, escapology, combat tactics, and several martial arts, including a few he created himself.

Boomstick: Bane pretty much became a legend across the prison.

So to remind everybody who was in charge, the warden decided to make an example of him.

Wiz: See, this place wasn't just a prison.

The army of Santa Prisca was conducting tests on human subjects with an experimental formula called: Venom.

Boomstick: Because super soldier formula are all the rage.

Wiz: The procedure had killed every previous test subject but Bane proved hardier than expected.

Boomstick: And after he had a taste, Bane wanted "Venom" for himself.

So he faked his own death, punch a few sharks to death and liberated the whole prison single-handed.

The inmates joined his cause and he took his new super soldier serum to Gotham City.

Wiz: Using a special apparatus on his wrist, Bane can administer a dose of "Venom" directly into his brain at will.

Doing so dramatically increases his muscle mass turning him into one of Gotham City's most ferocious physical threats.

He's destroyed the Batmobile with his bare hands, jumped off skyscrapers without injury, and lifted loaded armored trucks which weighed tens of thousands of pounds.

And then there's the feat he's most famous for:

(Bones crushing)

Breaking the back of Batman.

But Bane didn't just break bone, literally put poor Batman into a coma.

Boomstick: Well years later, Batman did get his revenge, after swappin' powers with Superman, he paid Bane a visit, and broke his everythin'.

Wiz: And somehow, THIS didn't kill him!

Boomstick: He's one tough son of a bitch, and if he needs it, Bane can crank up his Venom for more strength and faster healin'.

But when he first tried this, it came at a cost.

Wiz: Turns out an overdose of Venom can temporarily deteriorate one's mind, turning Bane into a mindless, muscle-bound beast.

Bane: (screams in agony.)

Boomstick: And it's also surprisingly addictive, so eventually, Bane swore off the stuff for some time.

Wiz: But this only let Bane prove he's just as dangerous even without the performance-enhancing drug.

He's been pelted by dozens of bricks at once, and taken countless stabbings and bullets without even reacting.

He once cauterized his own wound with a blow torch, and even got thrown hundreds of yards by Elastiwoman and got right back up ready to fight.

Boomstick: Still off the juice, Bane is strong enough to tear down a stone prison wall, casually rip off an armored guy's limbs, and take out dozens of members of the League of Assassins, solo!

But if he really needs to, he can just fall off the wagon and get back on the Venom.

Wiz: Bane's absurd power is only matched by his intelligent mind.

He possesses a photographic memory, rivals Ra's Al Ghul in chess, and deduced the identity of Batman in one year when nobody else could figure it out.

Boomstick: Yeah, Bane's pretty ridiculous, but it's no secret he's at his best when he's got that Venom juice pumpin' through his veins.

Luckily for him, he eventually developed a form of Venom that didn't turn his brain into mush.

And then he soon got addicted to that stuff all over again.

Wiz: Still, Bane has proven over and over again, that with or without Venom, anyone who crosses him will beg for mercy, and receive none.

Bane: When we fought before, I broke the Bat.

Today, I break the man.

Wiz: All right the combatants are set!

Let's end this debate once and for all!

Boomstick: But all this strength talk is reminded me I gotta bulk up and the best way to do it, is with a delicious home-cooked meal.

Now I'm a man who likes a good home cooked meal but going out to buy or hunt my own food is a hassle.

If only there was some way food can be brought straight to me.

Wiz: Good news Boomstick introducing: Blue Apron. The #1 fresh food delivery service in the country.

Bane: Step aside, niños.

Bane: No...

is something...

else...

Thugs: (screaming)

Venom: (laughing)

(Continues laughing)

(Continues laughing)

You're mine!

Announcer: FIGHT

Venom: Mmm, yummy!

Oh your blood's spicy!

Delicious...

Ooh, big daddy can punch!

(laughing)

Bane: So you fall back on cheap magic tricks, trying to disappear.

Yet you don't know how to be truly invisible.

Now I give you permission to die.

You're just like all the others...

broken!

Venom: We're...

unbreakable!

Bane: No! what's happening!?

Venom: Now for what we came for!

Pop goes the weasel!

Announcer: KO

Boomstick: Ewww...That can't taste good.

Wiz: Both fighters were intense physical threats, but only one wielded the superior venom.

Boomstick: Venom had many advantages over Bane: speed, durability, versatility, and even strength.

Wiz: Bane's peak strength was at most just enough to lift a 27 ton car.

Meanwhile, Venom was strong enough to stop a falling carnival ride and hold it up by himself, even while in a weakened state.

Comparing it to similar carnival rides, my very conservative estimate would place this thing weighing around 200 tons.

Boomstick: Way more impressive than anything Bane ever lifted!

Wiz: Of course, Bane was smarter, however, even if he had deduced Venom's key weaknesses to fire and sound, he wasn't really equipped to take advantage of them.

Boomstick: As for speed, Venom could catch bullets.

Even better he could CATCH UP to bullets, in mid-air!

He had to move over 1,500 miles per hour to do that.

Wiz: Ironically enough, almost twice the speed of sound.

Boomstick: Surprisingly, their durability levels were pretty even.

Both have taken hits from Superman-level beings and lived to fight another day.

Wiz: The big difference being Venom's healing factor was far superior.

He could fight on par with Juggernaut, who can make 4.8 magnitude earthquakes with his bare hands!
