Venom's Powers:

Abilities
Brock is a journalist with skills in weight lifting / body building.

Previously, the alien costume, which had grafted itself to the nervous system of Eddie Brock, somehow absorbed the powers of Spider-Man during its brief symbiotic relationship with him. These powers were transferred to Brock, so long as he wore the costume. At his peak, Brock had conditioned himself to lift (press) almost 700 lbs before he came into contact with the costume. Now, in his cancer-ridden body, he possesses minimal strength. Once he merged with the costume, in his prime he was able to lift (press) almost 11 tons. The alien costume also replicated Spider-Man’s ability to cling to walls by controlling the flux of inter-atomic attraction between molecular boundary layers.

As Venom, Brock could also shoot strands of the alien’s substance in the form of webbing at high pressure up to a distance of 70 feet. The alien’s substance seems to be composed of tough, flexible fibers of organic polymers, which regenerate swiftly after shedding. The strands have extraordinary adhesive properties, which diminish rapidly once they abandon their living source. After about three hours, with no source to nourish them, the strands dry up like dead skin and dissolve into a powder. The strands possess a tensile strength of 125 pounds per square millimeter of cross section. Venom also possessed an extrasensory ability similar to Spider-Man’s spider-sense. This response is not as complicated as Spider-Man’s inherent sense since the alien costume can detect danger from every direction and conduct Brock in plenty of time. It is not as efficient as Spider-Man’s spider-sense because it takes longer to communicate the danger, and Brock’s reflexes are not as fast as Spider-Man’s, even though they are enhanced by the alien costume.

When distributed at a typical thickness over Brock's body, the symbiote was capable of absorbing bullets from small-arms weapons firing conventional ammunition. The symbiote is however particularly vulnerable to both sonic and heat-based attacks.

Also the symbiote has the power to blend in with the background.

The Joker's Powers:

The Joker has no special powers, but his unique psychoses make him the most dangerous killer in the world. His chief weapon is Joker Venom, a fatal toxin that kills its victims on contact -- but not before sending them into fits of sick laughter and locking their faces into a smiling death rictus.

Anything but the Present

America has no now. We're reluctant to acknowledge the present. It's too embarrassing.

Instead, we reach into the past. Our culture is composed of sequels, reruns, remakes, revivals, reissues, rereleases, re-creations, reenactments, adaptations, anniversaries, memorabilia, oldies radio, and nostalgia record collections. World War II has been regought on television so many times, the Germans and Japanese are now drawing residuals.

Of course, being essentially out of shit, we sometiems feel the need to dress up this past preoccupation, as with pathetic references to reruns as "encore presentations".

Joker gets my vote. All time favorite Villan. And no jay, not because he is in a movie next month

A-Bomb

Wow, it seems the Villan contest was extremely biased to said Joker. He crushed every competitor he went up against, and it looks to be the same here.

Thats cause this tournament is based on popularity it should be based on fighting in which Joker would have been gone like in the 1st round.

If it was based on fighting ability alone, then there wouldn't have been a point to this. I am enjoying watching everyone's picks though, and there have been a couple of upsets in MY mind at least.

But nonetheless...good times.

Fixed?

Care to explain how you came to that conclusion?

You can see who votes for each character in every round I've made. Please, enlighten me.

lol what
joker is far superior to venom

he is more famous, classic in every way, the way he "kills" his victims, his dialogue on every episode/movie, joker is by far the most genius thing to ever come out of a comic book
