Venom VS Bane

"Finally calm down, Twilight?" Sunset asked her purple smart friend who needed about five-ten minutes of collecting her mind again after the freaky thing with the Death Battle of Deadpool vs Pinkie Pie.

"I'm fine, I'm perfectly fine now…" Twilight answered after finally coming to her senses in the mind.

"It was sure nice of Deadpool to give me this awesome suit pink theme costume of his! Bet I rock even harder than Gwenpool!" Pinkie checked herself out in front of a mirror, now wearing a pink and white color version of Deadpool's suit.

"Gotta say, you do look very deadly sweet in that!" Flash complimented.

"I rather I think about more on something else than Deadpool for a moment… or perhaps a week." Rarity said.

"Maybe the next episode should help cheer you up." Pinkie pressed play for the next favorite Death Battle episode to start.

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

Boomstick: And sometimes, that "inspiration" creates your worst nightmare.

"Oh boy, looks like we're gonna be looking at some drama bad guys." Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes.

Wiz: Venom, the ultimate antithesis 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 analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win... a Death Battle.

"They look like they could be very dangerous villains to the heroes in their worlds." Applejack commented.

Venom

Wiz: 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.

"Oh, that's not unhealthy at all." Flash said sarcastically.

Background

Host: Edward Charles Allan Brock

Height: 6'3"/190.5 cm

Weight 230 lbs/104 kg

Planet of Origin: Klyntar

Graduated from Empire State University with a BA in journalism

Has possessed over 30 hosts (Most were creeped out by that)

Boomstick: Eddie Brock was an up-and-coming 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.

"Ouch, sounds like it happened all in one day." Spike said.

"Maybe he should've checked if the guy he thought was the killer really was one to begin with." Fluttershy pointed out.

"Bet it wouldn't matter to him with how angry he is." Sunset said, knowing how this will go.

Boomstick: Damn, talk about a bad day. Understandably pretty upset about it, Eddie blamed Spider-Man for ruining his life.

"He should go to therapy." Rarity advised.

Boomstick: This led to his fateful meeting with a weird, black, gooey alien. Remember Gak from the '90s? It's just like that, except alive and... evil...

Venom lets out a roar, lunging towards the screen.

"Whoa! That inky was freaky!" Pinkie commented.

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!

"Oh, come on! I thought we were done with him!" Rarity groaned. This was too soon to hear about Deadpool again.

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."

"So, this alien goo bonded with the guy who hated Spider-Man just so it can get him back because it thinks Spider-Man is the ideal host. Talk about irony." Applejack was surprised a little.

"But not as creepy as that weird clip we just saw." Flash was grossed out by this Cindy.

Wiz: Did you know? Eddie came up with the name "Venom" because he felt he was "spewing venom from the tabloids he worked at."

"I thought it was more about the snake venoms from the fangs, or poisonous frogs, or something that is cooler than that stupid explanation." Rainbow Dash said.

"I'd probably give that a 3 out of 10." Pinkie shrugged.

Boomstick: Seriously? Ugh, I give that origin a 3 out of 10.

"Oh, now we need a third judge!" Pinkie said.

Powers and Abilities

Increased strength, speed, and durability

Shapeshifting: Webbing. Gliding. Decoys. Can sprout tendrils or spikes

Invisibility

Rapid healing

Boomstick: 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 healing 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 webbing 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.

"Oh, I would like to have something as clothing to change whatever style I want." Rarity was interested in that last part.

"I thought you like Bayonetta's way with her hair." Flash mentioned.

"I can have other options, darling." Rarity stated.

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

"Bet that would hurt in a game of tag." Pinkie commented.

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

Feats

Threw a car several blocks

Survived an exploding power plant

Defeated Spider-Man, Electro & Juggernaut

Withstood blows from the Hulk

Held up Ferris Wheel while weakened

Eddie can bench press over 500 pounds

Wiz: He's defeated Spider-Man without having a host, resisted Ghost Rider's Penance Stare, and shaken off the Hulk's infamous thunderclap. That's right, he's even taken blows from the Juggernaut and the Hulk.

"Don't know who those guys are, but they sure look powerful." Sunset commented.

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.

"Ew, that's gross and deadly!" Twilight was grossed out from seeing Venom literally spitting out those bullets.

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.

"So, the alien suit is weak to sound." Twilight started taking note of this.

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.

Venom: I like being bad, it makes me happy.

Venom prepares to stab Spider-Man with a metal blade as the former looks in horror.

"Yeah, that's not scary at all." Fluttershy gulped.

"Like I said, he needs therapy." Rarity said.

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 living nightmare!

Ashley Kafka: Eddie, is that you?

Venom: There's no more Eddie, and no more symbiote! Only... Venom!

Venom destroys the wall right behind him with a punch.

"A nightmare that wants to take all of our chocolate! I need to call Sugar Cubes Corner to have them protect all of their chocolate!" Pinkie took out her phone to make the call.

Bane

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.

"Let me guess, he also blames Batman for ruining his life just when he was at the top?" Flash asked, guessing annoyingly on this guy.

"I think Boomstick means it was before Batman became known." Sunset said.

Background

Real name: N/A

Height: 6'8"/203 cm

Weight: 350 lbs./159 kg

Born in Pena Duro Prison (Everyone was shocked to learn that)

Favorite childhood toy: Teddy bear named Osito (Fluttershy thinks that's cute)

Favorite hobby: Breaking backs

Is a big guy...for you

Boomstick: He was born into prison and made to carry out his dead dad's life sentence. Talk about carrying 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.

"I have one… HOW FUCK UP IS PUTTING A BABY IN PRISON AT ALL!" Fluttershy shouted in rage.

"Yeah, just because the dad was the bad one doesn't mean the child could be bad as well." Rainbow Dash stated.

"You don't think that really happens in real-life, does it?" Spike asked worry.

"That's a deep thing I rather not know about." Pinkie shook her head.

"I should ask Celestia about it." Sunset said while sending a text message to Celestia to ask her that 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 guessing his neck.

"I hope the warden gets fired and thrown in prison for the death of that poor child." Fluttershy glared, wishing a worse fate for the warden.

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.

"Weird, that look like he somehow saw the future of himself facing Batman." Twilight noticed this.

"And now the child starts on becoming the bad guy." Sunset sighed.

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.

"More like 1.2 out of 10 because he shouldn't even be in prison in the first place! Let him go and live a childhood life instead of putting the blame for something someone else did!" Pinkie complained while holding a katana.

"Pinkie! Put the katana away before you hurt someone!" Flash gasped.

Boomstick: Anyway, it wasn't long before Bane caught wind of a certain bat ruling Gotham City by fear, but he got to work trying to become the ridiculously jacked guy he saw in his dream so he could take down Batman once and for all.

"Meaning his fate with Batman would be settle." Rarity said.

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 10 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.

"Why do I get the feeling it's not just about executing Bane for becoming too much to handle." Sunset felt worried.

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 formulas are all the rage.

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

Boomstick: And after he had a taste, Bane wanted Venom for himself. So, he faked his own death, punched 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.

"I know he's still became a villain, but I hope he killed the warden for putting him through all of those awful times as a child!" Fluttershy growled as her Godzilla stuffy somehow glares at the TV.

Powers and Abilities

Genius intellect (Twilight wonders how smart Bane is exactly)

Master of several martial arts

Combat strategist

Venom serum: Dramatically increases strength, durability, and healing

Wiz: Using a special apparatus on his wrist, Bane can administer a dosage of Venom directly into his brain at will. Doing so dramatically increases his muscle mass, turning him into Gotham City's most ferocious physical threats.

"In other words, he cheated into gaining that kind of strength." Applejack disapproved of Bane gaining strength through this venom.

"Don't you have super strength through magic?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Yes, but it's not the same as Bane's." Applejack proclaimed.

Bane knocks Batman and Commissioner Gordon down by punching down a wall and roars.

"Talk about making an entrance!" Pinkie commented.

Wiz: 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... Breaking the back of Batman. But Bane didn't just break bone, he literally put poor Batman into a coma.

"Shit! That had to have hurt!" Flash groaned, feeling like his back is broken.

Boomstick: Well, years later, Batman did get his revenge. After swapping powers with Superman, he paid Bane a visit and broke his everything.

Wiz: And somehow, this didn't kill him.

"Wow, I did not expect Batman to want powers for a moment to get back at Bane." Spike was surprised.

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 healing, 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.

"Let that be a reminder to all of us. NEVER do drugs under any circumstances!" Sunset advised strongly, knowing how dangerous drugs can be.

Wiz: But this 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 Elasti-Woman and got right back up ready to fight.

"Okay, now I can see Bane is very frighteningly strong!" Applejack felt a bit scared.

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.

"Even so, it's still sad that he would the villain." Fluttershy sighed.

Feats

Tore down stone wall w/o Venom

Was launched hundreds of feet away unharmed

Lifted a 27-ton armored truck

Survived assault from SuperBat

Survived 11 years in prison isolation

Beat 6 villains on Venom by himself

Swam against a 35-mph current

Nearly killed Batman

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.

"Wow, figuring out Batman's identity is no joke if he's really that smart." Twilight was shocked.

Boomstick: Yeah, Bane's pretty ridiculous, but it's no secret he's at his best when he's got that Venom juice pumping 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 beats up Bruce Wayne at his parents' empty graves.

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

He then stomps on Bruce.

Wiz: Alright, the combatants are set. Let's end this debate once and for all!

Boomstick: IT'S TIME FOR A DEATH BATTLEEE!

In an abandoned weaponry warehouse at night, two thugs start lifting the boxes down together.

Bane: Step aside, niños.

Their boss, Bane, activates his Venom and speeds up the process by lifting some of the boxes down himself.

"Was it really necessary for him to even need the Venom for that?" Flash asked.

"I think he just wanted to show off to his men." Rainbow Dash guessed.

They hear a growl and a dark figure speed past them and one of the light fixtures.

Thug: It's the Bat!

Bane: No... it's something... else...

Two large black webbings emerge from the shadows and grab two of the thugs. The two criminals are dragged into the darkness, emitting echoing screams as the mysterious figure mauls them and starts laughing maniacally. Bane looks for his opponent while the figure keeps circling him and laughing. A pair of white eyes come from the dark as Bane finally notices the intruder in the corner, who is none other than the Lethal Protector himself, Venom.

Venom: You're mine!

"Did anyone just get spook from that or was it just me?" Pinkie asked, shaking in fear a little.

FIGHT!

(Music: Venom Fight 1 - Ultimate Spider-Man (game), Kevin Manthei)

The psychotic symbiote leaps forward to attack, but Bane grabs his leg and tosses him backward. He then picks up an AK-47 from the crate and shoots at the creature, but Venom absorbs all of the bullets with ease.

Venom: Mmmm, yummy!

Venom contorts his body, deflecting the incoming bullets and sending them hurtling back at Bane, though the massive luchador barely flinches as he charges forward.

"Guess they got to mention he's bulletproofed." Twilight said.

Quick to adapt, Venom fires a webline, intending to pull Bane closer, but the moment he does, Bane shoulders through the web with force. Venom grabs the edge of a nearby barge container, using it to steady himself before launching back at his opponent. He narrowly blocks a powerful blow from Bane, forming a makeshift shield with his arms. The two exchange a flurry of strikes, but Venom's shapeshifting abilities give him the edge. Though Bane lands a few hits, Venom retaliates with a lethal slash to his throat, sending a spray of blood into the air.

Venom: Oh, your blood's spicy! Delicious...

"Now it sounds like he's a vampire." Rainbow Dash commented.

Venom webs Bane towards him and uses his shapeshifting to get some heavy blows and knock Bane on the ground. He tries to use his webbing on the ground to pounce on the villain, but Bane manages to evade it in time. Bane uses the opening to his advantage and combos Venom into a heavy punch, which knocks him back into one of the larger crates.

Venom: Oh, big daddy can punch!

Bane seizes Venom and charges, driving him through a series of massive crates before slamming the symbiote's head into one with a bone-crushing impact. The luchador attempts to pounce on Venom's head, but Venom narrowly evades the attack, slipping into the shadows just in time. From his hidden position, he lets out a dark, mocking laugh, savoring the moment.

"Man, Bane is not playing around here!" Flash saw how Bane much power he's putting into this fight.

"He could probably tell that Venom is a big threat and he needs to take him out now." Sunset believed.

"But now Venom has made himself invisible. How will Bane deal with that?" Rarity asked.

Bane: So, you fall back on cheap magic tricks, trying to disappear, yet you don't know how to be truly invisible.

Bane catches Venom just as he's about to sneak up on him, grabbing the symbiote by the tongue and hurling him forward with brutal force.

Bane: Now, I give you permission to die.

"Oh shit! Being invisible means nothing if Bane has the sharper instincts!" Rainbow Dash gasped.

Venom crashes onto the hood of a truck, leaving a deep dent in the metal. Meanwhile, Bane pulls a rocket launcher from a nearby crate, loads it, and aims it at the injured symbiote, firing a deadly shot. The resulting explosion causes Venom to dissolve into a puddle before regenerating off-screen. As the explosion rocks the area, Bane lands on the ground and injects himself with a larger dose of Venom, rapidly growing in size and strength. With his newfound power, he grabs the battered Venom by the head, lifting him effortlessly.

"I think he's gonna do the back-breaking move!" Flash can already tell where this is gonna go.

Bane: You're just like all the others... broken!

Bane smashes Venom into the ground, creating a crater in the process, and lifts him into the air, aiming to snap his back with a crushing knee strike, but as he brings his knee down, a tendril from Venom shoots out, lashing into Bane's leg. The attack backfires, causing Bane to injure his own knee as the tendril wraps around it, sending a shock of pain through his body.

(Music: Teloelogy of Death - Death Note by [hhttps/en./wiki/Kenji_Kawai Kenji Kawai])

"Oh no, Bane's move didn't work!" Fluttershy was shocked.

"Which means Venom is about to turn this battle around!" Twilight said.

Venom: We're... unbreakable!

The symbiote creates spikes which pierce him through Bane's arms, legs, and chest, while also puncturing his Venom apparatus and leaving him in intense pain.

Bane: No! What's happening?!

"Your death, that's what happening." Sunset answered.

Venom leaps up and punches Bane into one of the flaming crates. He then shoots multiple web balls at the villain to trap him in place.

Venom: Now for what we came for!

Venom grabs Bane's head and pumps most of the symbiote into it, causing it to explode and putting the luchador down for good. The symbiote briefly uncovers a stern-looking Eddie's face before covering it again.

Venom: Pop goes the weasel!

KO!

Venom leaves and takes the deceased Bane's brain with him, while Batman arrives on the scene and recoils in horror at the sight of Bane's headless corpse.

Boomstick: Ewwww, that can't taste good.

"I'm not sure if you mean about Bane's Venom, but I say that was freaky horrifying to see a head blown up like that." Rarity said, almost feel like she's about to blow up.

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!

"Almost about ten times stronger than even the Venom could ever give him despite Bane having years of training his body." Twilight stated.

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.

"Right because he only carries his Venom with his muscles being his only weapon." Sunset nodded.

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.

"Guess Bane didn't really train himself to move that fast if he wanted to surprise Venom with his punches." Pinkie shrugged.

"Even I know that." Applejack said.

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!

Boomstick: But it's not like Batman ever needed super strength to knock Bane out cold.

"Duh, because he's Batman! He'll always come out on top!" Pinkie stated with a proud smile, the others can agree with her on that one.

Wiz: In time, Venom's superior strength, speed, durability, and versatility simply overwhelmed Bane.

Boomstick: Looks like Venom was the real Bane of this fight.

"Seriously…?" Fluttershy deadpanned of the bad pun.

Wiz: The winner is Venom.

"That episode sure gave me some more thoughts about ma own super strength, that I should work harder on making sure it's use for good like we've always done." Applejack looked at her arm.

"We also learned the dark side of justice…" Fluttershy referred to Bane being a prisoner since birth.

"Guess even justice can be twisted if one's belief allows themselves to sink further into darkness, to no longer see themselves as the same kind of people they sworn to uphold the law. As one of life's greatest and cruelest lesson: Life is not always fair." Pinkie said surprisingly wise.

"Wow, that was really deep." Flash commented.

"Deeper than breaking the Fourth Wall that somehow tastes like blueberries." Pinkie pulled up a bucket of pink-colored popcorn and a whole chicken with her katana from nowhere.

Everyone just looks at her weirdly for a moment but just shrugging this off as another Pinkie Pie thing.

Author's Note

KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!

And people say that poison is something that can kill a man if they are not strong enough, it looks like Venom himself was the one poison that can put Bane down by blowing up his brain and taking his brain for a reward snack after that fight.
