“I’d say he’s beyond” - Knull vs. Thanos: Fans claim Venom 3’s villain holds superior strength

The final trailer for Venom: The Last Dance dropped online on Thursday, and it gave fans a first look at Knull. The villain, who was created by Donny Cates and Ryan Stegman in 2018, is set to make a live-action debut in the upcoming film. He is the god of symbiotes in the comics published by Marvel.

Being a primordial being of darkness, the Venom 3 villain is one of the most feared beings in the Marvel universe. Having slain Celestials, he is surely powerful, and his reveal in the trailer sparked a debate online regarding his supposed superiority over Thanos.

However, the verdict was a clean sweep for Knull as fans immediately recognized that the Venom 3 villain is "beyond Thanos" and would easily tower over the sinister Marvel villain.

"Knull is a being of primordial darkness predating the universe. I’d say he’s beyond Thanos," said one fan.

"Knull is way more powerful than Thanos. He's the god of the symbiotes and he was the owner of the Necrosword which was used by Gorr the God butcher," said another fan.

"Knull masking the entire earth with his symbiotes turning it into a black noir planet, all while ripping the sentry in half over a grudge because sentry did the same to his symbiote. He’s definitely surpassed thanos level," opined another fan.

Fans started listing down exactly how powerful this character can be and listed his feats of strength.

"Spider man fans that aren’t comic heads. Do y’all understand how powerful knull is. Easily one of the strongest characters in the mcu Tom Holland Spider-Man no Spider-Man is beating knull. No team of avengers is beating knull. 3 celestials died to knull but earth will win lol nah," said one fan.

"Knull is pure nothingness, the Infinity stones have no power over him, man exists beyond time and space as we know it and has the Necrosword," said another fan.

"Just to put into perspective how powerful Knull is for people who may not know him. He strangled the silver surfer with one hand,also casually grabbed King Thor. He also survived the Big Bang," listed another fan.
