Marvel’s most iconic symbiote, Venom, has just achieved its ultimate form by claiming Godzilla as a host. The Venom sybmiote has been through a large swath of hosts since its debut in the 1980s. Starting with Peter Parker, the alien symbiote has bonded with other familiar faces such as Eddie Brock, Reed Richards and even Malekith. However, it has officially met its most powerful host to date in epic new official artwork featuring the King of the Monsters as he invades Marvel continuity.

As part of an array of new variant covers shared by Marvel, Venom #37 will see Godzilla stomping through New York City in incredible artwork by Dave Wachter. However, this time, he isn’t alone. Joining the iconic Titan is the Venom symbiote, which has latched itself onto the Titan. Branding Venom’s iconic spider symbol and giant tongue, they tower over Peter Parker and Miles Morales as they swing by in an attempt to stop them from destroying the city.

It’s a spectacular image that is sure to get fans of both Venom and Toho’s most iconic monster cheering. However, the potential behind this team-up is far greater than any host Venom has claimed before.

Venom’s Bond with Godzilla Makes Them More Powerful than Ever

Their Power Level Potential Should Scare Every Hero in the Marvel Universe

What’s absolutely terrifying about Venom finding a new home with Godzilla is the potential behind the power they gain from their codependency. Godzilla, on his own, is known for his immense strength. He’s capable of tearing down countless monsters to keep his crown as their one true King. He’s even been able to take down Superman with a single whip of his mighty tail. However, by bonding with the Venom symbiote, a whole new level of power is available to him.

Venom has proven itself to be a fearsome foe for countless Marvel heroes because of how much it accentuates its host’s strength. By tapping into the host’s rage, it’s capable of channeling these emotions into tremendous feats of strength in exchange for the consumption of human organs. With these two combined, Venom and Godzilla would be unstoppable. Godzilla runs on pure rage, and since his enormous size makes it possible for Venom to remain fed as the two tear through various cities, the two make a perfect and powerful pair.

Gozilla and Venom’s Team-Up Needs to Be Its Own Story

The Potential Can’t Be Held Behind a Variant Cover

Perhaps the most disappointing part about this incredible cover art is that it’s strictly just that: a variant cover. The fact that there will be no accompanying story behind this concept is sure to have fans begging for the idea to be expanded upon in its own story. Godzilla has a brief but notable history with Marvel, so bringing him back to their universe for a team-up with Venom could make for a fantastic story. The Monster-Verse has shown that it can bring interesting ideas to the DC Universe with King Kong becoming a Green Lantern, so it’s not out of the realm of possibility to have Godzilla become Venom’s new host in a limited series.

Fans will be able to get this incredible artwork for themselves when Venom #37 hits stands on September 18. Godzilla has a lot of potential to be shown in the Marvel Universe. However, his bonding with Venom is undeniably the most interesting, as the two give the symbiote its ultimate form, setting up a ton of ideas for how the two could work together in their own story.
