Warning: Contains SPOILERS for Symbiote Spider-Man 2099! Symbiotes in Marvel Comics have always been presented as immensely powerful cosmic beings that even have the potential to reach godhood, though their power-scale seems to have been dialed back as of late in Spider-Man 2099 continuity with the introduction of a new anti-Venom weapon. So much so, in fact, that one would be right to question if the symbiotes just got permanently nerfed.
