10 Most Powerful Beings Venom Has Defeated

10. The Punisher - Venom: Funeral Pyre

You would think it wouldn't even be worth mentioning that Venom has kicked Frank Castle's behind, because c'mon, The Punisher is a badass, but he's still a very squish normal human, while Venom is, well, Venom.

But the Punisher did manage to put up one hell of a fight during the short-lived Venom: Funeral Pyre series, where the symbiote and Marvel's favorite mad gunman were both gunning for the same gang of generic goons. Annoyed that Frank was seemingly following him around, Venom took to beating The Punisher into an edgy little pulp.

Now, granted, The Punisher more than gets back at him later in the same issue, hitting him with his classic weakness (see: sonic rays) and locking him up so he won't be a problem anymore, but that first fight was a resounding victory for Venom.

While The Punisher is a normal, fragile human being, he is also one who likes to come prepared just in case he does end up having to go head to head with a mutant, superhero, or in this case, a symbiote. So the fact that Venom caught him with his pants down and put him in the dirt is all the more impressive.
