love gargan-venom. first time i played him, even without vap and camo, he ate the new thor. alone. to death. success on sc/ss was hal-larious. the tail mod is a great idea, BTWs.

LOVE this piece.
B/C/F, one of my favorite powers, love the ALMOST impossible 6,6,6 roll of death, LOL.
Super senses make this guy, a really hard target, but...
This guy have competitive uses without Feats?

Thats a mean Tie-up piece. Mac is a welcome addition to my collection, and soooo many feats can be put on him, (Lunge, Entangle, Camoflague, Vampirism, etc) but would play well without feats too. Plays well in all styles, keywords or not. Steal Energy/Flurry with a 3 Damage? Wow...I look forward to using him again.

agree totally :) and with the right cards, as some have already mentioned, he is the best tie up piece i've ever played by far.

been playing a "thunderbolts" keyword team for a while now and just recently added him to the roster to try him out would be perfect if he had the avengers TA but its not needed toss lunge on him and have a grand old time game winning mvp right here.

quite possibly best piece in hammer of thor, you want a tie up piece hes your man

that plascity will tie most people up, two chances of avoiding being hit with shape change and supper senses. blades and stal enegery later

playability 5 for me

If the new T-bolts ATA is keyword based then T-Bolting him to skrulls will make him untouchable!

This piece is insane. I just played him with the new Blackest Night hal jordan and with the trinity pieces from the B&B set. Venom destroyed my clark kent then tied up my green lantern and took him down. Even with the click back power that he has, venom just wouldn't go away. With leap/climb all the time, even if I could break away from the plasticity Venom could catch up. THEN he has the steal energy with BCF. Dang it. This piece is annoying but INSANE. 5 stars!!!!!!!!!!

I gave the dial a 1 for being boring. He has two power sets, and they're designed to be as effective for the cost as possible. I can't get behind such a lazily designed figure no matter how good the sculpt is. Just too good for the cost, and I can't emphasize just how boring the dial is. I'll take the "inferior" Sinister Venom any day. Note that I did give this one a 5 playability rating, despite my dislike.

loaded with feats, this guy is near unstoppable. Nice for one man army

Awesome piece. having a full colored dial sure helps. sad thing is with low attack and damage.

his mouth looks like a toilet

I've never seen this figure do too much. With feats. Without feats. As soon as he hits the map, he's got this huge target on him. I do play in (mostly) large point games, so maybe in small point games, he can shine? T-Bolt to Skrull, and watch the mayhem? That all aside, he's a great figure for the points. The sculpt is the only part I'm not thrilled with, but it's not horrible by any means. A solid 4.5 star figure.

i love this piece! annoying? yup. effective? yup.
great for it's value? yup.
the sculpt is great! not sure why it's not gettin the love it deserves? it's mac not eddie and it should look a bit 'different' imo.
there are obviously so many cool feats to slap on venom, but the two i usually go for are Entangle and Vampirism. Then, TBolt this menace to Skrulls and enjoy watching your opponents blood pressure skyrocket :grin:
he is a piece that will force your opponent to focus on him while your ranged attackers can just snipe away. he usually dies when i play him, but not before earning every single point he is worth and more!

The average attack is the only thing keeping him from being out of control! As it is, Venom is already one of the most incredible tie-downs in the game, since his L/C gets him to his target, his Plasticity makes them stay, and his Shape Change and Senses waste their time. The beauty of the switchover to Flurry/StealEnergy is that he's likely to crawl back up to click 4 without much trouble, even if he's sticking to an Invulnerable brick! Combat Reflexes keeps him a hard target in close combat, but his defense against range opens a weak spot once he gets back there. It's not much of a weakness, but I've seen him brought down by it.
