Captain America Blocks Venom with His Shield

About this drawing

Captain America vs Venom is a battle between two very different corners of the Marvel universe. On one side is the brave soldier who leads the Avengers. On the other is the alien symbiote born from Spider-Man's adventures.

Venom usually goes up against Spider-Man, but Marvel heroes cross paths all the time. When a threat grows too big for one hero, others jump in, and as leader of the Avengers, Captain America is often first through the door.

Here is a fun detail: the Venom symbiote has bonded with several hosts over the years. The best known is reporter Eddie Brock, but it has joined with other characters too. One of them, Flash Thompson, wore it as a soldier under the name Agent Venom and even teamed up with the Avengers.

In a fight like this, the shield is Cap's best weapon. It can take hits that would shatter any ordinary metal, letting him hold off the symbiote while he looks for a chance to strike back. In the end, what wins these battles is Cap's determination. He never gives up, no matter how unstoppable his enemy seems.
