Gladiator: Venom

This is the topic to discuss Venom (Callum Else) in.

All you Venom fans will be happy to know that Venom is now a member of
the forum. We'll be trying to get him to post in the near future.

Hey everyone! It's Venom! Hope you're enjoying Series 2!

Heat One:
Danger Zone: 2 Wins
Powerball
Human Cannonball: 1 Win
***Venom took part in Powerball, and managed to score a shut-out against Paul, who he was marking. Venom also played Danger Zone against both Paul and Jack, and scored a win on both of his battles in Heat One.***

Heat Two:
Conquer: 1 Win
Human Cannonball: 1 Loss
***Venom's loss on Human Cannonball in Heat Two was also the event which caused Venom to recieve his injury, which cost him his place in the next few Heats, and also resulted in Venom dropping out for Series 2.***

Heat Six:
Danger Zone: 2 Wins
Breakthrough: 1 Loss
Duel: 1 Draw
Powerball
***Venom's return in Heat Six saw him playing on all of the events. It also showed him playing Duel for the first time in the series, and taking the Breakthrough role on Breakthrough & Conquer. He wasn't exceptional at either.***

Quarter Final One:
Breakthrough: 1 Win
Human Cannonball: 1 Win
Duel: 1 Win
Powerball
***Once again, Venom played each game in the first Quarter Finals. He also showed why he was Team Captain in the first series by winning on each event he played. His performance on Powerball was also superb, earning a second shutout.***

Quarter Final Two:
Danger Zone: 1 Win, 1 Draw
Breakthrough: 1 Loss
Duel: 1 Draw
Powerball
***For a third time, Venom played each event of the night. His performances in the second night weren't as exceptional as his performances in the previous quarter final - his only notable performance being the first Danger Zone match.***

Quarter Final Three:
Danger Zone: 2 Losses
Breakthrough: 1 Loss
Duel: 1 Win
Powerball
***Continuing tradition, Venom was the only Gladiator to again play each event of the night. He had one of the worst Danger Zone matches in the whole first series however, with both his opponents scoring 6 Points.***

Quarter Final Four:
Conquer: 1 Win
Duel: 1 Draw
Powerball
***For the first time since his return, Venom only played three of the events - with Taurus taking Danger Zone. His performances weren't superb, but he showed why he was one of the better Conquer players.***

Semi Final One:
Conquer: 1 Win
Powerball
***Venom dropped a second event on the entry to the Semi Finals. He again showed amazing skill on Conquer - much better than he was given credit for in the series. He also continued to play Powerball.***

Semi Final Two:
Conquer: 1 Win
Human Cannonball: 2 Wins
***For the first time in six nights, Venom didn't play Powerball - this was mainly due to the fact that Powerball was excluded from the first Semi Final after Flame's accident. However, his performances on Breakthrough & Conquer and Human Cannonball were superb.***

Final:
Human Cannonball: 2 Wins
Powerball
***Venom only played two out of the five games in the final - the last two at that. He also played Powerball again (technically, the seventh consec. game, as it wasn't played in the second semi-final).***

Overall:
Breakthrough & Conquer: Breakthrough: 1 Win, 3 Losses (4 Appearances), Conquer: 4 Wins (4 Appearances)
Danger Zone: 5 Wins, 1 Draw, 2 Losses (8 Appearances)
Duel: 2 Wins, 3 Draws (5 Appearances)
Human Cannonball: 6 Wins, 1 Loss (7 Appearances)
Powerball: 8 Appearances

From this, we can see that Venom was probably best at Conquer. As an overall game, however, Breakthrough & Conquer was easily one of his weakest games (Duel was another weak point). He never made an outstanding amount of appearances in any of the games compared to the others, but this was partially due to his absence for three Heats (Heat Three, Four and Five). Considering this, he made a lot of appearances outside of Duel.
