Having a spider character use guns seems somehow redundant. In the world of supers, having gun skills itself is basically a super power....what the hell is the point?
You know what would be unstoppable? A Spider-Man with a sniper rifle.
Think about it, just sticks to the side of a building, takes out the rifle and BAM, kills his target and webslings away.
When a character has a gun, guaranteed they will never hit the hero with a single bullet because it would kill them, but f they are just using their fists they can trade blows.

Bullets don't pack the same punch as Spidey's fist, though
They'd bounce off a fair number of his foes, pass through others, and be dodged by the rest
Why a symbiotes need guns?
>>94066308
You could probably take out most of the X-Men that way.
God Flash Venom was one of the most stupid ideas in decades.
>>94066427
Spider-Man doesn't need a gun to solo the X-Men.
>>94066219
It's fun.
>>94066219
He has military training, so it makes sense for him to have guns
Why am I responding to a reddit thread? The world may never know!
>>94066666
Ok, if you wanted to make him a military themed hero, why give him super powers in the first place? If anything, give him Cap level powers...why give him abilities BEYOND Spider-Man, a guy who guns pose little threat to, but still make him use guns as his first option?
Why am I responding to an attention whoring tripfag? To point out the irony of a tripfag calling something "reddit", you do realize WHY we don't like reddit, correct? It's the same reason we don't like tripfags

>>94066574
Thing is, that was a fun goofy "what if". Flash was meant to be a full fledged replacement and new Marvel character who I'm sure they expected to last forever
>>94067203
Yes I know he's a namefag not a tripfag before some kind of fag says anything
>>94066427
ah yes, spider-man's arch enemies, the x-men
>>94067268
Eat a dick cunt.

Why do you keep making this thread faggot?
Agent Venom had the best run of any Venom so far.
How much of a pathetic faggot do you have to be to make the same thread several times?
>>94067203
But Steve doesn't use a gun either
Bucky Cap does for whatever reason

A) None of the spider family is remotely as powerful as Peter. Characters like Miguel and Kaine have never pulled the same feats of agility and strength as Pete did in Grim Hunt or Origin of Species.
B) The Venom symbiote was rarely at full strength for Flash. The first half has him preventing the bond through metered uses, and the second has him chemically castrate it as much as possible.
C) Back to the bonding issue, considering that most of Flash's rogues gallery can be taken out with a healthy administration of lead, it'd be better for him to use weapons instead of dipping too far into becoming Venom
D) It's fun

>considering that most of Flash's rogues gallery can be taken out with a healthy administration of lead,
My many Spider Gods, what he did to Hobgoblin...
>>94068626
So why make a Venom book where the MC can't be Venom?
>>94069285
Because Venom was a villain or an anti-hero before Flash, who was trying to be a full on super hero.

What the fuck is the purpose, if you want a guy who's main purpose is to shoot baddies, make him a normie with plot armor like Punisher or just make him a super soldier
No reason for him to have the abilities of Venom, Punisher goes toe to toe with supers all the time, and he doesn't have a symbiote but does the same fucking shit
>>94070323
Ah, so it was bait the entire time. If you want to find out why people liked Agent Venom, read the comics. Good comics aren't just about people punching each other. They sometimes have a story too.
>>94070765
>Ah, so it was bait the entire time.
What...what the hell are you even talking about
Also, you would never have read it if it wasn't named Venom, stop pretending you have some deep care for the character. If it was just Agent Flash you wouldn't give a shit.
>>94071487
The story hinges on the interaction between Flash and the symbiote along with the history of both of the characters, so yeah, Venom being there is kinda important. If you just want to see big baddy Venom go smash people with a pants on head retarded story instead, why not read that absolute abortion of creative talent and character potential that is Venom Vol 3.
