Death Battle! Chapter 27: Eddie Brock (Venom) VS Bane
Harry: They're two of the most iconic archenemies of the most popular heroes in comic books. Known for coming closer than any other villain at killing said heroes.
DAM: Bane, the super assassin who broke the Bat
The Doctor: And Eddie Brock aka Venom, aka the ultimate alien symbiote
Harry: He's The Doctor, that over there is DAM and I'm Harry.
DAM: And its our job to analyze their weapons, armor and skills to find out who would win a, Death Battle!
Harry: In the distant past the 998th generation lineage of the feral Klyntar was imprisoned by its own brethren. And at some point it crash landed on Earth where it would find its first host...Eddie Brock.
DAM: But, before all that ever happened. Eddie Brock was a reporter and rival to Peter Parker himself. Loosing his job to this Spidery hero after Spiderman debunked his Sin-Eater case. Humiliated and down right frustrated about loosing his job.
The Doctor: At some point in his journey he was finally absorbed by the alien symbiote and became the slithering 'n' terrorizing monstrosity known as Venom.
Harry: As Venom, Brock's strength increased immensely capable of lifting 70 tons in base form. He can also adjust his size if his ever needed to and has the same Spider powers as his nemesis Spiderman.
DAM: He has his own Spider-Sense that is so great he has the power to overcome and counter Spiderman's spider-sense with ease. His other Spiderman powers range from his crawling on any surface to generating his own webbing.
The Doctor: Venom can stretch and deform his limbs extending far beyond the capabilities of any other human/alien-being. He can also transform his hands into claws and other weaponry.
Harry: His last ability is his poisonous fangs, developed by Brock himself though his fangs are scary enough as it is the toxins in the bite are so deadly they can kill anybody in contact with them in mere seconds.
DAM: His feats range from being able to mimic anything the symbiote is in contact with even clothing. He's also far more resistant to damage and injury than Spiderman. Another feat of his is being capable of increase his strength and stamina upon each form or transformation.
The Doctor: Eddie has his weaknesses for one he has a mental instability and most famously is ultrasonics that can immediately disable the symbiote and leaves him basically incapacitated.
Harry: He is also effected by heat though this weakness has only been tailored to Toxin. Another fact about Venom is being an alien symbiote it has taken over numerous hosts and has another form known as Toxin which is smaller than Venom but his bite is far more toxic.
DAM: No matter what form he's in Venom, Toxin or the symbiote itself is one of the most brutal villains ever.

The battle opens up to Bane slowly walking through an alley watching his surroundings before coming across a large grotesque black sludge as it combined with a small human with blonde hair. Upon combining with the man (Eddie Brock) the monster (Venom) turned its head towards Bane.
"We are one! The one called-VENOM and Venom wants to PLAY!"
Bane laughed at this remark and struck back with his own little quip, "If I broke the Bat, I can break you with ease!"
FIGHT!
Venom and Bane charged towards each before Bane could throwout his first punch, he was slashed across the chest by Venom's claws. Bane growled in pain and shook his head before tackling Venom and smashing him through a wall. Venom counter-grappled and through Bane over his shoulders. As Venom approached his enemy Bane whipped a three-barreled machine gun from out of nowhere blasting Venom with a barrage of bullets. Venom seamlessly walked through the gunfire and knocked the gun from Bane's hands. Bane flexed his muscles and looked at Venom with a burning passion. As he did this Venom jumped into the air in an attempt to tackle his foe. Before he could do anything else Bane punched him in the face dazing him he then put Venom in a chokehold. The venom pumped through his blood vessels and his muscles grew larger and larger to the point he was able to grab Venom by the neck and flipped him over his shoulder. Venom swiftly rolled aside and knocked Bane backwards than Venom blasted him with some webbing. Bane kicked Venom backwards and ripped the webbing from his chest looking back at Venom who charged him.
Bane jumped out of the way and watched as Venom plummeted over the railing to the ground below. Bane jumped after him and crashed on a table next to Venom the two charged towards each other. Entering a battle of the muscles; Bane using his superior strength with his venom he began to push Venom backwards. Venom countered digging his claws into his foes hips. Bane growled in pain as Venom pushed him backwards before knocking them both off a deep crevasse. Acting faster Bane punched Venom in the face and slammed him into the randomly scattered pillars and debris below. Bane arose from the debris holding his numerous wounds. His venom healing him somewhat slowly from his wounds. As he walked away from the pile of debris Toxin burst out from it growling endlessly in a blind fit of rage he charged Bane tackling him and plunging his fangs into his opponents shoulders. Bane cringed in pain and grabbed Toxin's head slowly crushing it. He then jumped off his feet and landed on his back crushing Toxin with his weight. Toxin instantly jumped to his feet and looked back at Bane.
"You can't fight me and the poison!"
With that Toxin charged towards Bane punching him once only to have Bane punch him back with even more force than his much smaller foe the fight would continue before Bane jumped Toxin bear–hugging him and charging through the entire facility tripping over his own two feet and falling out down a flight of stairs and out a window. And crashed onto an gasoline truck the vehicle immediately exploding both Bane and Toxin are sent flying away from the crash Bane left completely incapacitated while a large black grotesque beast emerged from the flames of the recently exploded truck. Bane looked up at the towering beast and threw out one more punch in desperation barely effecting his foes. The symbiote than slammed into Bane throwing him backwards crashing into an on coming car. Two men jumped out of the car before it was crushed by Bane's immense size and mass–
"Are you serious that's the last time I ever let you drive Britt!"
"Shut up Kato! How did we get here in the first place!?"
"I have know idea!"
With the small distraction out of the way and with his enemy incapacitated the symbiote charged Bane slashing him across the chest sending him flying into the air. He then stretched one of his arms forming a hook-like claw wrapping it around Bane's hips and pulled him in towards him. Bane crashed onto the ground in front of Venom creating a massive grater. Venom slowly approached his foe and bared his massive fangs Bane couldn't help but cringe in the presence of Venom's fangs before he could do anything else Venom plunged his fangs into his skull tearing through the flesh and crushing bones. He viciously shook Bane's entire body before ripping his head from his body. Venom chomped on the head and began to feed on the remains of his adversaries corpse.
K.O!
DAM: Man that was brutal show it again!...please?
Harry: Maybe another time, Venom and Bane may have been even in the strength category, however. Venom had Bane outclassed in nearly every way imaginable. With his Spider Senses he could detect Bane's attacks before he even began his assault. And, with his stretching limbs he could deliver the first blows along with the ability to create weapons from his hands he could deliver more melee damage than Bane.
The Doctor: Bane may have been more accomplished, resilient, and intellect. However, his accomplishments came through a prolonged battle or by simply tiring out Batman. His reliance comes from his constant usage of Venom and without that Venom his intelligence gets thrown out the window as he become a mindless monster. The real deciding factor came down to Venom's poisonous fangs which could kill a normal foe in mere seconds. Bane's Venom intake and physique could keep him alive long enough to go on fighting. Though he couldn't stop the effects of the poison he could only go as far as delaying them. And, by that time he would've taken so much physical damage and internal damage he would inevitably end up the looser.
DAM: Venom really crunched on the competition.
Harry: The Winner is Eddie Brock, Toxin, Venom, and/or the Symbiote. Whatever it is it's the winner.
The Doctor: Next Time on Death Battle!
