Who is Anti Venom? - the nice Venom who heals

In this series, we look at the characters behind the Marvel Snap cards, recapping their origin, their powers, looking at how well they fit their card, and giving you something to read.

This week's spotlight is on Anti Venom, the negative version of Venom.

I'm a cancer survivor and the exploration and themes of illness and how different characters deal with it is a major reason i LOVE Spider-Man 2. I had no idea that Anti-Venom had that origin. That adds a whole new dimension to it for me. Thanks, Nando

[MrWatsHood]

This whole series made me realize we have WAY too many symbiotes lol

[md_played_by_md]

damn, no mention of the Spider-Man: Edge of Time game? that's the whole reason I knew Anti-Venom even as a thing before getting into comics themselves.

[brasswirebrush]

Love comic book characters like this where it's obvious they came up with the name first, and then everything else just flows from that.
Antivenom. Ok, so Venom, but opposite. But how? Oh, of course, Mr Negative!

[sixtytwo.]

I think this ability makes sense. Anti-venom cures you of your ailments (what holds cards back is their cost, he removes that) but can also take away your strengths as a result, like with Spider-Man (reduces power)

Da comicbook king is back baby he neva miss we're eating good today y'all

[lighthawk]

Was not expecting to have those flashbacks to Spider-man: Reign. Thanks for that. LOL

[Riceburner-xq]

Always great videos🎉🎉 ( you'll go crazy thinking about snap reworks)

[FunSck]

Hi Nando, I’m Bugsy. Love your videos

[fedenicolasacosta]

About Marvel Snap ability, I can get why it has that power: take it as Anti-Venom "curing everything" from the next card, getting rid of the burden of its cost but also cleaning its power.

[dieucondorimperial]

7:00 Now they should make an Agent Anti-Venom card that puts all card in your deck at 0/0.

[OtakuJuanma]

I didn't know of Agent Anti-Venom, only the one that is Venom+CancerxNegative

[arc]

We _all_ need an Anti-Venom in our lives.

[CSPRING]

Antivenom mindlessly neutralizing (healing) the next card up, sounds pretty on brand

[xero]

I’d prefer if the anti-venom card got a redo. It feels like he should have shadow kings ability.

I’d probably have him be a 3 cost 0 power card that mixes the venom absorption with Mr negative power swap. Not quite sure how, but something like that would make sense to me

[jacobcortez]

I think an interesting idea for Anti-Venom would have been to make it attach to a card like Hulkbuster does, but return it to its original power.

I haven't played Marvel Snap in well over a year or so, so I have no idea if this would be good or not. But it feels more on them for AV than the power the card actually has IMO

My theory is still that, if they ARE trying to expand the Sony-verse, with Knull as their Thanos, I think Eddie is gonna get some version of the Anti-Venom symbiote, but in a way that lets it preserve it's Venom personality, if maybe a little screwed up. Because they are definitely seem to be aiming for Agent Venom with Flash, sorry Corporal Thompson, losing his legs in the 3rd act fight in Last Dance.
Would be super funny if they wind up swapping symbiotes by the end, so we have Agent Anti-venom and a reunited Eddie/Venom for the big finish.
And considering how they're going about things, will laugh my ass off if Mr. Negative is somehow in Kraven.

Happy Halloween
Kinda fitting for this spooky month we end the spookiest by flipping the symbiote theme
Aha thats why i thought Anti-Venom was an Agent Venom thing

[rubiconprime]

First to me I saw Anti-Venom was when Brock was on Wonder man’s Revengers in what I think was the Avengers Annual at the time

[Samilion]

i think mr negatives powers are similar to cloak and dagger's dark and light abilities
