High Speed Venom (ハイスピードヴェノム, Hai Supīdo Venomu) (also known as Red Venom or Hyper Venom), or simply Dash Venom is a secret character in Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes. He is an orange colored Venom, resembling Carnage.

Hi-Speed Venom is a much faster version of the regular Venom, although he's also much weaker and can take less punishment than any other character, receiving roughly twice the amount of damage per hit. He's possibly the fastest character in the Marvel vs. Capcom series as a whole, and most of his moves leave a special afterimage effect.

Story[]

When confronted as a CPU opponent during Arcade Mode, Hi-Speed Venom is introduced by Onslaught before the battle begins. In the Japanese version, Onslaught refers to him as his "servant" and orders him to destroy everything and to bring desperation equally to all of humanity. In the English version, he shouts at the player to "witness the might of Onslaught unleashed!".

This lines of dialogue imply Hi-Speed Venom is a clone of the real Venom created by Onslaught's psychic powers.

Japanese version further proves this with Red Venom often calling Onslaught a god of destruction that he serves. Telling his opponents to submit to his will, calling them rotten pieces of meat among other insults.[1]

However, much like Onslaught's other clone servants Orange Hulk and Gold War Machine, he starts to question his actions and eventually confronts Onslaught himself if the player chooses. Telling him he must stop him, in spite of him being his creator.[1]

He introduces himself as a phantom created by Onslaught to the person he's partnered with. He can also express regret, asking them to kill him for putting innocent lives at danger.[1]

Hi-Speed Venom's ending, just like those of the other Marvel secret characters in the game, is him simply doing his character select animation in front of the Hyper Combo background while the text "Congratulations! You've defeated the game with a secret character!" appears underneath him.

How to unlock[]

To play as him, you have to highlight Chun-Li at the character selection screen. Press Right, Down (4), Left, Up (4), Right (2), Down (2), Left (2), Down (2), Right (2), Up (4), Left (2), Up. His portrait will appear above Chun-Li's.

For the PlayStation version, complete the game with Venom and then at the character select screen, highlight Chun-Li and press up.

To fight this version of Venom, the player needs to meet these requirements before Stage 7: Perform a Hyper Combo finish, Crossover Combination finish or a Duo Team Attack finish in every bout, but perform 4 Duo Team Attack finish before Stage 7 and never let either of your characters get knocked out.

Trivia[]

  • Similarly to Orange Hulk and Gold War Machine, it's possible that Red Venom thinks he's the real Venom rather than a clone. He refers to himself as such in the Japanese win quotes...yet still accepting Onslaught as his master.
    • It's perhaps for this reason that he eventually questions and challenges Onslaught.
    • He will also express regret to his partner character, asking them to kill him for putting innocent lives at danger. Likely because of the real Venom's personality coming through.
    • Introducing himself as a phantom created by Onslaught to his partner can mean he started to see himself has a shallow copy as a result of said regret.
