This article is related to the Bee Miraculous.

You just need to take the sting out.

Ladybug to Queen Bee, "Malediktator"

Venom is the special superpower granted by the Bee Miraculous to its owner.

Description[]

This superpower allows the user to paralyze their opponent. It is activated by the user speaking its name.

Miraculous owner[]

The Bee Miraculous owner spins the spinning top and catches it mid-air. The Miraculous owner's hand is then surrounded by energy that takes the form of a pulsating bee stinger. But as seen in "Optigami", "Evolution", "Illusion", "Deflagration", "Intuition", and "Re-creation" the user doesn't always have to spin the spinning top, they can activate the power by just holding the weapon. It allows the Bee Miraculous owner to completely immobilize their opponent by stinging them, leaving them as stiff as a statue. It is revealed in "Passion" that someone paralyzed by Venom isn't only stiff, but also seems to be unable to see, hear, speak, or think, as Ladybug was unable to perceive Cat Noir detransforming and his true identity being revealed right in front of her.

Queen Wasp (274)

Venom's insect bite-like mark.

Venom does not need to sting a victim on their bare skin, it will be equally effective if the victim is stung on their clothing. It will even successfully paralyze the victim when it's used on a Miraculous users magical super suit. Venom will also work if the victim possesses elemental intangibility, such as Style Queen's body being made of gold glitter, thus implying that it could work on a Dragon Miraculous holder's elemental transformations. In "Deflagration", it's revealed that the power can also work on spirit beings, such as the Kwamis. Additionally, someone under the effects of Venom will have a small, glowing circular mark in the likeness of an insect bite on the part of their body where they were stung. The insect bite mark will disappear once the effects of Venom wear off.

Venom can even immobilize objects, as seen in "Ephemeral" when Vesperia immobilized Moolak's flying safe. However, it is possible that the safe was actually part of the villain's body. Although, the villain was heard laughing even after Vesperia used the power on his safe.

As seen in "Ephemeral" and "Deflagration", if the victim is able to levitate, then they will remain suspended in mid-air after being paralyzed. However, as seen in "Re-creation", if the victim's levitation is an ability that have to consciously maintain, then they will fall to the ground once they are stung.

It is unclear exactly how long the paralysis lasts. It's possible that, like with Cataclysm, Venom may have different effects when used on different targets, or that the duration of the power is up to the user:

  • When Queen Bee used Venom on a human, the effect wore off while she still had a couple of minutes before detransforming.
  • When Vesperia used it on a Sentimonster it remained immobile, even when she detransformed, retransformed, and activated the power again.
  • When Monarch used it on a person wearing a charged Miraculous, Bunnyx, she remained paralyzed even after Monarch released Pollen and couldn't move again until the Miraculous Ladybug undid all the damage. Although Bunnyx was in the Burrow the whole time and Monarch released Pollen when he was out in the regular world.
    • When Monarch used it on Cat Noir in "Illusion", the hero was unparalyzed when the villain detransformed. It could be that unlike Bunnyx, that both were in the same world/plane of existence, or Monarch only wanted the condition to last until he could steal Cat Noir's ring, but thanks to Ladybug he ran out of time.

In "Deflagration", it's revealed that the Bee Miraculous holder can release the victims from the paralysis by snapping their fingers.

Pollen[]

The effects of Pollen's Venom are unknown, but it would most certainly be unconstrained and results in some kind of catastrophe, though she would be able to restrain it somewhat.

Weaknesses[]

Ephemeral (67)

Vesperia being protected by Shell-ter so she doesn't get hit by enemy fire.

The biggest weakness of Venom, as seen in "Malediktator", "Optigami", and "Ephemeral", is that user has to get in close to their target in order to sting them. This means that the user would have to get past enemies' defenses and avoid their opponents attacks' before they can use Venom on them.

Another major weakness is that the user needs their hand free to use Venom. If the users hands are restrained, then they would be unable to use their power. Whats more, if the user strikes too hard while trying to sting their opponent it could cause their hand to get stuck, as seen in "Re-creation", when Monarch momentarily got his hand stuck in a wall during his final battle with Bug Noire.

Interestingly, as seen in "Penalteam", if the victim is one of a set of clones, then only one of them will be effected by this power, the one who actually gets stung. All of the others will go unaffected. Of course, this is only a problem for an underage holder, an adult holder would be able to use the power repeatedly and could circumvent this weakness by simply going after each clone one-by-one, though trying to catch them all would likely be a challenge on its own.

In "Passion", due to having been combined with Safari's tracking superpower, the effect of Venom was tied to be undone if her designated target became someone else. For example, if a Miraculous users magic jewel is removed, they detransform and technically cease to be the person the Venom shot was sent to hit, and they will then be able to move again.

The Venom shot can also be destroyed and nullified by the Cataclysm. Though it's unknown if the Cataclysm would be equally as effective on the standard use of Venom.

Resistance can cancel out the effects of Venom. Furthermore, as seen in "Miraculous Paris", it is possible for a Kamikotized hero to bestow a gift of protection onto the would-be victim that can nullify the effects, and even set a trap on the would-be victim to take down the user when they try to sting them as long as they know about the power of Venom.

In "Re-creation", it was shown that, when the Bee Miraculous was removed from Gabriel's hand, the effects of his Venom on Marinette were lifted. However, it should be noted that this weakness is only due to the mechanics of the Bee Miraculous back when it was in it's reforged ring form, as this specific weakness doesn't exists when the power is used with the Miraculous in it's original form, as shown in "Queen Banana".

In "Miraculous Paris", it is revealed that using the special superpower uses vital energy from the Kwami, but also from the miraculous holder. It's one thing for an adult holder, but for an underage holder, who is less physically and mentally capable of handling the strain, there is a security system in place that limits them to only using their special power once and causes them to detransform before it becomes dangerous. However, using the Miraculous for evil overrides the limiter, allowing an underage holder to use their powers to their full potential. As previously stated, a younger holder cannot handle the strain; dark veins of corruption will gradually spread across their body, and they will inevitably be destroyed.

Trivia[]

  • In "Style Queen", Ladybug says that the Bee Miraculous is the Miraculous of Subjection, although this was later retconned.
    • According to Thomas Astruc, the production thought that it was too complicated, so it was changed to Action.[1]
  • This power being born from the concept of Action, which refers to a living being's capacity for motion (i.e. walking, breathing, talking, etcetera) is the weaponization of that concept by taking it away from the victim.
  • When Queen Bee got akumatized by Hawk Moth into Queen Wasp, she used swarms of wasps to immobilize people with Venom.
  • In the Korean dub, the superpower's name is called "Jjileugi", which translates to "Sting".
  • In the Brazilian dub, the superpower's name is called "Ferroada", which translates to "Sting".
  • In the Italian dub, the superpower's name is called "Veleno", which is the literal translation to the english version.
  • Queen Bee's one-time use of her Venom power also reflects the number of times a bee can sting a person before they die.
    • This only applies to ordinary (worker) bees, however, as real queen bees do not have barbed stingers and can actually sting as many times as they like or deem necessary.
      • Which is referring to when an adult Bee Miraculous holder has multiple uses of their powers.
    • This also applies to only honey bees in particular, as other bee species such as bumblebees can sting more than once.
  • So far it's the only known superpowers used for attacking by the holder along with Cataclysm, Clout and Sublimation.
    • Unlike Cataclysm, Venom is non-lethal when used on a human.
    • And unlike Cataclysm, Venom, when hitting a sentimonster, doesn't make them go berserk but instead immobilizes them as the power usually does.
  • Interestingly enough, the power of Venom and its ability to immobilize is similar to the immobilization abilities of a Speed Stinger from the "How to Train Your Dragon" franchise.
    • The venom of both can paralyze their targets from just one touch.
    • However, both are temporary, but the Venom power only lasts for a few minutes whereas the Venom of the dragon can last for hours or days
  • Venom is the last superpower that Gabriel Agreste used before making his wish that would sacrifice himself and save Nathalie.
  • Curiously, per "Re-creation", Venom appears to be the only Miraculous power that was actually hindered in some way after it's corresponding Miraculous jewel was melted and reforged into a ring form by Gabriel back in "Destruction". The effects of the power on a victim were lifted if the Gabriel were to remove the Bee Miraculous off his finger, which is a weakness only present when the Miraculous was in it's ring form. No other Miraculous power seems to be affected by such change, keeping all of it's effects and limitations intact.
    • However, it's possible that Gabriel wanted Marinette to be freed when removing his ring, possibly so he could talk to her prior to making the wish.
  • So far, a total of 20 characters have been affected by Venom.
  • Marinette and Adrien are tied with the most number of times being affected by Venom with a total of four times each.
  • "Action" holds the record for having the most amount of characters affected by Venom in a single episode with a total of 19 characters.
