Let's compare his abilities to Hulkbuster's Red, which has a ap/damage ratio of 650 damage per AP spent, which is considered one of the better abilities in the game. Venom's red at 12 red ap (4 red matches you might have to make to activate it anyways) does 723 damage/ap, better than Hulkbuster's by quite a bit. Venom's black at 5 will be extremely easy to manage, just don't get 16 AP in any color. Granted this means you have to have a rainbow to manage that, but you should be trying to do that anyways. So considering that the downside is easy to manage, consider that this ability has a damage/ap ratio of 836, drains 2 of the enemy's strongest ap, and it activates at 5 ap! That is crazy OP, what are people thinking? The area damage on the yellow is pretty pathetic, but you would only use the yellow to avoid damage, which is really handy, like a much better Colossus. It still covers you for 3 turns at 3 covers, so that's perfect. What is the downside to this character?

Invisible Woman was my last match and i lose 10k health in a EASY fight because the black power of my Agent Venom. Useless char for me. So this was brought up before but be aware of your team. Any three chars don't just magically work together. Venom's black at one cover triggers at 12 AP so don't pick characters with powers more expensive than 12 AP.
