I mean what hero doesn't need a symbiote is better question.
Over the years the Venom and Carnage symbiotes as well as tons of others have start merging
all over the place.
In the early 2000s and the decade of 2010 we have seen the popularity of symbiotes sky-rocket.
Meaning that they show up more and more in our favourite comics, merging with our favourite
heroes.
Still some superheroes have been left out of this recent trend so at Top 10 Nerd figured
it was time to take a closer look at those who deserve some more quality time with everyone's
favourite form of parasitic entity: symbiotes.
Today we'll be counting down the top 10 superheroes who need a symbiote.
And really there are more than just ten.
It was so hard to pick.
Ah!

And be sure to stick around till the end of this list where I will have some bonus content
coming your way.
Alright, let's get counting.
10 Luke Cage
Luke is near indestructible and has a pretty solid healing factor but he's not quite the
strongest of heroes.
Mix a little symbiote in and we might see that change.
I would argue that symbiote enhanced Cage could maybe even take the Hulk on in a battle.
After all he has defeated tough villains like the Rhino with one punch.
So he's already pretty strong.
Just, he could be stronger.
And I'd like to see the wild side that a symbiote might bring out in him.
As they tend to be pretty chaotic usually.
Actually imagine an entire team of Defenders in symbiotes.
Luke Cage and the rest of the gang.
Now that would be something.
9 Ironman
The closest thing we've seen to Stark bonding with a symbiote is his Endo-Sym armour.
This armour was based off of symbiotic physiology after Tony set out to build the best tech
ever.
And wasn't held back by morals, as he was one of the few who remained flipped following
the events of AXIS, meaning that he was still evil Tony.
But I want to see something more than the Endo-Sym armour.
I want to see Tony in a suit that literally has a symbiote bonded to it.
It's basically a living entity that he can wear or maybe tech mixed in with a symbiote.
Not just a suit that overrides typical symbiote weaknesses, but one that CURES the weaknesses
of the symbiote it is bonded to as well.
8 Jessica Jones
Armed with her super strength and flight powers, Jessica Jones is already a pretty intimidating
presence, especially when Kysten Ritter is portraying her armed with a bunch of Idungiv-a-faaa
attitude (armed with a bunch of attitude).
Now imagine her with a symbiote.
Interrogations would go so much smoother and I have a feeling that Jessica would be a great
person for a symbiote to embody in terms of how unruly they can be.
I feel like her sometimes no nonsense attitude would allow her to keep her symbiote in check.
7 Brawn
Amadeus Cho was the Hulk for awhile and if you are a huge symbiote fan then you will
already know how powerful the symbiotes can be when they are merged to any Hulks.
However Amadeus recently got slightly depowered when it comes to his Hulk form, making him
less of a tank than he was previously.
But one thing that he has maintained since his introduction is his brilliant intellect.
He is known as one of the smartest people in the world within the Marvel universe.
And is a capable hacker.
One thing I would like to see is an intelligent symbiote merge with him and create a super
genius.
This is something that we have yet to really see explored in Marvel.
Most symbiotes seem more focused on brawn than brain but with Amadeaus you get both
and I'd really love to somehow see that utilized in symbiote form.
Maybe Amadeus could also use his hacking skills to make the symbiote go digital again, like
we saw in Carnage Unleashed when both Carnage and Venom ended up entering computers and
fighting on the online web.
Cyber-symbiote!
6 She-Hulk
While the Hulk has been bonded to the Venom symbiote before, She-Hulk has never got a
turn to try on the suit.
Not only do I think She-Hulk could make a symbiote suit look good but I feel like she
would be a powerhouse with one.
She's already proven how insanely strong she is!
Imagine her with even more power.
Not only that but imagine what that storyline could be like.
Jennifer Walters often already struggles with figuring out exactly who she wants to be.
This could be a cool opportunity to see that explored even more when she gets to bond with
a symbiote and maybe feel the freedom to embrace some of her more--mmmmm--violent tendencies.
I like it when we get to explore a raging She-Hulk a little, and this might just be
a way to allow She-Hulk the ability to truly embrace this side of her, learn to be a little
less afraid of it.
Or maybe she would totally freak out.
I'm down for either really.
5 Scarlet Witch
While Venom already one time went after Franklin Richards, aiming to be merged with the strongest
being around him with the most naie and moldable mind, he was rejected by the insanely powerful
mutant.
With Scarlet Witch, I could see her welcoming a symbiote at some point.
Her powers would make her symbiote self pretty unstoppable and it would be cool see her lose
control and then end up raging while merged with one of the Klyntar symbiotes.
Could you imagine Carnage and Scarlet Witch together?
Now that would be terrifying.
Maybe we could call her Blood Witch?
4 Invisible Woman
So Sue Storm has actually been bonded to a symbiote before but only briefly.
She found herself bonded to the Venom symbiote after it escaped the Baxter Building where
it was being held for tests.
It only bonded to her briefly, a few panels was all we got but I would personally like
to see the two remain merged for a touch longer.
I want to see if Sue could give the suit her power of invisibility, that combined with
its ability to shape shift could maybe make the pair the perfect spy.
Just imagine how powerful they'd be together!
3 Moon Knight
I mean who wouldn't want to see this, right?
Moon Knight is already a pretty violent dude by himself.
He's already kind of chaotic.
Making him both the worst and best fit for a symbiote of his own.
Also imagine just how much more terrifying this would make him?
Far too terrifying.
Seriously.
The closest we've gotten to this happening was in the video game Spider-Man: Web of Shadows
where we got some concept art of him wearing a symbiote, in the credits.
Though he never did so in the game sadly.
2 Batman
How awesome would it be to see Batman get a symbiote?
He would actually get bonafide superpowers of his own!
Right?
I know we'd need a DC / Marvel crossover for this to happen but...
Wait, what?
He's already had one?
DC has symbiotes!
What!!!!!!
It's true DC has their own symbiotes.
While they are not as neatly organized as Marvel's entire race from Klyntar or the wannabe
Marvel symbiote race of the Poisons, symbiotes do exist in DC and they are crazy.
Batman actually found himself temporarily bonded to one known as Blackrock in a fight
against Supes.
It granted him enhanced strength, endurance, allowed him to fly and ultimately helped him
to defeat Superman.
I don't know about you but I think it would be super cool if Batman was this powerful
all the time!
He has run into Carnage in a Marvel / DC crossover where he and Spider-Man teamed up to take
down the Joker and Kletus but he has yet to run into Venom yet.
And that is a symbiote I'd love to see him try on.
Knowing how disciplined Batman is, I bet he'd actually have insane control over a Klyntar
symbiote.
1 Silver Surfer
So here's the thing.
The Silver Surfer was merged with a symbiote but not the one that I was hoping for.
He ended up bonded to Carnage following a fight with symbiote in outer space.
This caused him to become Cosmic Carnage, admittedly pretty cool.
However, I am kind of hoping he can help out our friend the Venom symbiote.
Silver Surfer can travel easily through space with the power cosmic granted to him as a
herald of Galactus.
What I would love is to see him bond with Venom in an effort to take Venom back to their
homeworld Klyntar.
After all we did learn that the whole reason for Venom's violent tendencies are mainly
due to it's own separation issues revolving it's mysterious banishment or exclusion from
it's homeworld and fellow symbiotes.
That could be a cute story and a fun adventure for the two to go on together.
Amazing Spider-Man vol 1 #431
Thank you so much for watching, nerd squad.
Who is your favourite symbiote?
What heroes would you want to see merge with a symbiotic friend?
Which symbiotes do you prefer, Marvels or DCs?
Let us know in the comments below.
And speaking of comments, it's time to turn to some comments from one of our previous
videos, Top 10 Superheroes Who Hook Up the Most Part 2.
Matthew Mohri comments, "He star spangled a plethora of ladies.
LOL HA HA HA I was in hysterics."
I'm glad you liked that one.
I actually made myself laugh with it too.
Oh goodness.
MrGeekFreek says, "Where do they find the time to fight crime when they're doing all
that banging?"
I do not know.
We rarely see them sleep and we never see them use the bathroom.
So my theory is that they just don't really do those things and instead use that time
to fight crime and bone.
Imagine the things you could accomplish if you didn't have to sleep.
And that's all the time we have for comments today.
