12 Times Venom INFECTED Superheroes

3. Drax The Destroyer

Ignoring Peter Quill's warning not to touch the Symbiote Rocket, Drax grabbed ahold of his possessed team-mate and ended up being infected by Symbiote osmosis as Venom took advantage of the contact.

Of the three, the Venom Drax looked the coolest (and was undoubtedly the most powerful given how over-powered the Destroyer is in the comics). His menacing image was the cliff-hanger that ended the issue, before the next issue saw the reveal that he'd used Drax's body to defeat all of the Guardians and take their ship to Venom's home planet.

The Symbiote then triumphantly chose to give up his host body entirely as they got to the Klyntar home planet, leaving Flash to face Drax's wrath. It was then reintegrated with the Klyntar hivemind and rebonded with Flash, having been cleansed of evil and bloodlust. Sometimes, all it takes is a nice trip home.
