Venom's New 'War' Form Unlocks New Hulk & Iron Man Powers
Warning: Contains spoilers for Venom #8
Eddie Brock, the former owner of the Venom symbiote and the current King in Black, has unleashed a new form that gives him very similar powers to those of both Iron Man and of the latest version of Hulk. While Eddie is stuck traveling through time, still unable to fully control his King in Black abilities, he lands in the 602nd century in the body of a powerful combat machine called War-Symbiote.
In the Marvel Universe, the most famous battle suit is without a doubt the Iron Man armor used by Tony Stark. Iron Man packs a number of sophisticated weapons, and Tony Stark also usually uses advanced artificial intelligence that has the job of running the suit's systems and answering Tony's questions, providing him useful analysis and insight. In recent storylines, Bruce Banner also developed his own, twisted version of a battle suit, with the difference that the «armor» is nothing but the body of Hulk himself, with Banner's consciousness «driving» it as a spaceship, complete with engines that run on pure rage. Venom's War-Symbiote unites some of the best functions of both Iron Man and «Starship Hulk.»

The one that Eddie uses is a Warstar-class, type-two battle-Klyntar, and its functions are simply spectacular.
