Pinball manufacturer Stern has once again teamed up with Marvel for a new table based on symbiote-powered anti-hero Venom, taking Eddie Brock (and a host of other Klyntar-infused friends and foes) wherever pinball machines are found. Stern and Marvel’s venom Pinball is now available in a variety of configurations ranging from $6,999 to $12,999.
Venom’s pinball debut elevates the Marvel anti-hero to the status of Spider-Man, Iron Man, The Avengers, X-Men, Deadpool, and the Guardians of the Galaxy, all of whom have been the subject of Stern pinball games over the past two decades. (Oh sure, Venom also starred in two live-action movies, with a third on the way, becoming a god, but a pinball machine illustrates just how much he’s leveled up.) Venom’s game is full of characters, including Carnage, Flash Thompson, Gwen Stacy and Spider-Man (both Peter Parker and Miles Morales), as well as Venomized versions of the Hulk, Wolverine, and Captain America, should you prefer your Marvel superheroes sticky.
The story as it were venom the pinball is that Venom must stop Carnage from awakening Knull, the god of the Klyntar, who has plans to take over the planet. There are few problems, including world domination by an evil alien, that can’t be solved by hitting something with a pinball machine.
