3. Venom

One of Marvel's most beloved villains surely deserves a slot in Marvel Tokon? 

Ever since his first appearance, Venom has been a character that has resonated with comic-book fans and over the years he's featured in all-manner of Marvel media. Most notably of course, his appearances in the Capcom run of Marvel fighters which perfectly captured the chaotic nature of his fighting style. 

Throughout his time as a playable character, Venom has typically been considered a mid-tier character, but much like all the other characters highlighted here who have been in the C-tier, that just means there's plenty of scope to refine and improve upon what's come before. 

Being one of the larger characters on offer, Venom managed to match his beefy-build with a series of powerful attacks and a surprising amount of speedy special moves that can clear space in an instant, which forces opponents to consider their spacing and be prepared to counter should he try and close the gap quickly.

And whilst not only is he a fun character to play, he could really benefit from the drastic anime makeover. Both his black and blue looks are iconic and the artists at Arc-System Works would have a field day with this guy.
