Be quiet, Spider! Can't you see I'm trying to work! Now shut up... you lose! I'm in control of this body now! And, as my old friend Cletus taught me... it's time to start painting this town a lovely shade of red.
—Carnage Symbiote
The symbiote known as Carnage is the spawn of the Venom symbiote and is most often bonded to the sociopathic serial-killer Cletus Kasady. When the Venom symbiote came to rescue its host, Eddie Brock (who is also known as the super villain Venom), from jail, it left an asexually-produced offspring behind. The spawn bonded to Cletus through a wound in his hand, merging with his blood and becoming red-and-black in color. Dubbing himself Carnage, Cletus became a deadly recurring enemy to both Spider-Man and Venom.
When it was eventually separated from him, Norman Osborn (also known as the super villain Green Goblin) took possession of the symbiote and became the Red Goblin. During his assault on his own family, he bonded an offshoot of the symbiote to his own grandson, Normie, turning him into the Goblin Childe. Spider-Man defeated Norman by tricking him into separating from the Carnage symbiote before immolating it. Traces of the symbiote remained inside Cletus' body and rejuvenated in an attempt to save him from atmospheric re-entry, but perished in the process; leaving the Goblin Childe's symbiote as the only known remaining offshoot. It was eventually removed from Normie and left to be studied at Alchemax.
Savage Genesis
After a battle with Styx where the Venom Symbiote was presumed dead, its former host Eddie Brock was incarcerated in a prison for "normal" humans. His cell mate was Cletus Kasady, a psychotic murderer serving eleven consecutive life sentences in Ryker's Island with whom he developed an antagonistic relationship. However, the Venom symbiote was not dead, merely incapacitated for a time, and after it recovered, it sought Eddie out and re-bonded with him, Venom departing to resume his quest for revenge against Spider-Man. However, the Venom symbiote had been about to spawn as a response to Thanos seeking the Infinity Gems, and left its offspring - the 999th of its lineage - behind. The newborn symbiote sought out the nearest available host, latching onto Kasady and entering into his body through a cut on his hand, where it amalgamated with his blood. Transformed into a black-and-red monster, the gestalt entity of Kasady and the symbiote dubbed himself "Carnage"; waiting patiently in prison for nearly a month, Kasady and his new companion, whom he nicknamed "Red", developed a friendship, and brainstormed what they would do upon breaking out. Viciously murdering a prison guard before making their escape, Carnage embarked on an extended killing spree, daubing "Carnage Rules" at the scene of his kills in his own blood. Eventually Carnage fought Spider-Man, and the wall-crawler was defeated. Realizing Carnage was another symbiote-powered villain, Spider-Man enlisted the aid of Venom (who had retired to a deserted island), to defeat Carnage. After enlisting Venom's aid against Carnage, Spider-Man later defeated both father and son via the stage speakers at Madison Square Garden.
Maximum Carnage
The Carnage symbiote was apparently killed, though it was eventually revealed that the symbiote had integrated itself into its host's blood, altering his physiology and metabolism. As a result, Kasady could generate a copy of his symbiote from his blood whenever it was exposed to open air. Carnage teamed up with Shriek, Spider-Man's doppelganger, and later some other villains to go on a murder spree throughout New York. They were eventually stopped by Spider-Man, Venom, and a team of other super heroes.
Later Rampages & Other Hosts
Following a confrontation with Venom, Cletus pretended to be in a coma for some time. When one of the invading symbiotes accidentally summoned to Earth by the Venom symbiote's primal scream came after him, Cletus tricked it into releasing the Carnage symbiote from his bloodstream and absorbed it. Noticing he was stronger than before, Carnage started to absorb the other symbiotes, growing to gargantuan sizes in the process. He was taken down by the combined efforts of Spider-Man, the Scarlet Spider, and Venom, whose symbiote screamed even louder to make all of the extra symbiotes commit suicide. Recaptured and incarcerated within Ravencroft, the Carnage symbiote discovered an opportunity to escape, albeit without its beloved host: through the plumbing. Abandoning Cletus to spread chaos in his name, the symbiote absconded through the pipes and bonded to John Jameson, impersonating him perfectly for days on end whilst embarking on erratic murder sprees during the night. Following a confrontation at a nightclub with Carnage, Ben Reilly, now the new Spider-Man, attempted to tail Jameson, suspecting him of being connected to Carnage's mysterious slaughter spree; the symbiote proved him correct by transforming, tearing through the roof of Jameson's car to attack the wall-crawler. As Spider-Man beat the symbiote, attempting to stop it from massacring civilians, Jameson regained enough control to warn him of the symbiote's true goal: an even stronger host. The warning came too late as the symbiote jumped ship, transferring to Spider-Man and transforming him into the monstrous Spider-Carnage. Symbiote and superhero became locked in a tug-of-war for control of their shared body, as the Carnage symbiote fought to gain total dominion over its powerful new host, making many attempts to slaughter innocents only barely prevented by its host's willpower. Pushed to the brink, Spider-Man desperately fought his way into Ravencroft, seeking the advice of Cletus Kasady on controlling the murderous symbiote, only to find that Cletus didn't particularly care, instead being delighted at how it was torturing the hero. Unexpectedly, the symbiote then attempted to reject its new host and return to Cletus, who was wasting away without the symbiote to sustain him; Spider-Man attempted to contain it inside his own body to prevent it from reuniting with Kasady, but when the microwave emitters were activated in an effort to quell the raging symbiote it tore itself from him and fled through the pipes into Kasady's cell, merging with him to make Carnage whole once again. Some time later, after Carnage escaped prison yet again, the symbiotic serial killer was confronted by Peter Parker, now back in the mantle of Spider-Man, and during their fight the Silver Surfer arrived to aid the webslinger; stricken with terror by genetic memories of the Surfer leading Galactus to devour a symbiote-infested world, the Carnage symbiote violently tore itself from Kasady and fled into the sewers in a panic. As the Surfer descended to pursue it, the symbiote composed itself and ambushed him, bonding with him to become the Carnage Cosmic. Now possessed of near-godlike power, the Carnage Cosmic began lashing out wildly as host and symbiote fought for control, eventually fleeing into deep space. After a protracted mental battle, when the Surfer revealed to the symbiote that Kasady was painfully dying without it, they agreed to cooperate in order to return the symbiote to him. Though Spider-Man at first attempted to stop the reunion, his guilty conscience forced him to acquiesce and allow Carnage to be reborn. Unfortunately for Kasady and his symbiote, the Surfer was unwilling to allow them to run free and promptly encased them in an unbreakable shell of energy to contemplate their crimes.
While the Carnage symbiote was assumed to be deceased following Cletus' first defeat at the hands of Spider-Man and Venom, it survived due to its uniquely strong bond with its host - which enabled it to regenerate within Cletus' bloodstream. Following being experimented on by Hall Industries, the Carnage symbiote developed the ability to create and control offshoots of itself.[105][106] Combined, these two abilities have resulted in several copies of the Carnage symbiote existing separately from each other:
•Hall Industries' Prosthetics and Armor - After recovering Cletus Kasady's body from space, Michael Hall extracted the Carnage symbiote and used samples to create biomechanical prosthetics and suits of powered armor.[107] Of the known equipment created using samples of the Carnage symbiote, Tanis Nieves' prosthetic arm was assimilated by the Scorn symbiote, the Iron Ranger armor was temporarily assimilated by the Carnage symbiote and fused together to form "Mass Carnage",[105] and Cletus Kasady's prosthetic lower body was destroyed during his attempt to conquer Doverton, Colorado.
•Doverton Offshoots - After learning he could create and control offshoots of his symbiote,[105] Cletus fed the Carnage symbiote the contents of a slaughterhouse to increase its biomass and used it to conquer the city of Doverton by bonding most of the populace, Captain America, the Thing, Wolverine, and Hawkeye to offshoots of the Carnage symbiote.[106] Most of the symbiote's offshoots were incinerated by an airstrike, though Scorn captured a surviving sample of it under orders from General Brandon Duggan, with the whereabouts of this sample being currently unknown.
•Superior Carnage - Following Cletus' incarceration in the wake of the Doverton Incident, the remnants of the symbiote on his person were removed and incinerated, but it regenerated inside his body. This iteration of the Carnage symbiote was used by Marquis Radu to create an army of clones that were then hybridized with clones of the Venom symbiote. Following Cletus being rendered comatose, the symbiote puppeteered his body until it was removed from him by the Wizard and bonded to Karl Malus - creating the "Superior Carnage". The symbiote broke free of the Wizard's control, devoured Malus, and took over the Wizard before being reunited with Cletus, but was separated from him again by Klaw. The Superior Spider-Man contained the symbiote on Spider-Island, where it remained dormant for several months until sensing that Cletus was in mortal peril. It attempted to breach containment, but perished when Cletus was mortally-wounded by another inmate. Malus somehow survived being eaten, and managed to reconstitute himself inside the symbiote at some point, absorbing part of it to be reborn as a human/symbiote hybrid.[108]
•Chemically-Neutered Offshoots - Following the defeat of Superior Carnage, the Superior Spider-Man sent several "chemically neutered" samples of the symbiote to various labs to be studied. After the death of the main body of the symbiote, one of these samples - sensing that Cletus was still in danger - broke containment and bonded to scientist Carla Unger, rejuvenating itself by consuming her and several other interim hosts from the inside out. Eventually making its way back to Cletus, the symbiote resuscitated and rebonded to him. This iteration of the symbiote was later augmented by the Darkhold, all-but eliminating its vulnerabilities to fire and sonics, but was eventually stripped from Cletus using the cursed tome's eldritch magic. The fate of the other samples remains unknown.
•Darkhold-Augmented Offshoots - After being augmented by the Darkhold, the Carnage symbiote regained a version of its ability to create offshoots of itself - though this required an alter to Chthon to work properly. Cletus experimenting with this ability to create numerous symbiote-human hybrids - most of which either died or were slain; and also produced two Darkhold-augmented offspring: Raze, which he bonded to bond FBI Special Agent Claire Dixon;[109] and an unnamed spawn he bonded to Jubulile van Scotter.[110] Jubulile later absorbed the Raze symbiote and amalgamated it with her own and the Toxin symbiote; and all three symbiotes seemingly perished after a battle with the eldritch god Chthon - disintegrating into pink mist.
G-g-give it up! There's no "I" here! And green's out! There's only red! We're making everything red! They'll be soaked in it! Drenched in it! And we are -- Carnage!
—Carnage Symbiote
As a consequence of its gestation within an Earth atmosphere, the Carnage symbiote possesses unusual neurochemistry compared to other symbiotes. One such consequence of this unique makeup is its extraordinarily powerful mental bond with its original and primary host, Cletus Kasady. So strong is this bond that the symbiote contains an exact copy of Kasady's memories and personality, which not only shaped the fledgling symbiote into a mental near-duplicate of its host, but allows it to create replicas of Kasady as well. Since then, the Carnage symbiote's personality has developed and diverged from its host in various, subtle ways, but it nevertheless retains an extreme similarity to Kasady, comparable to a twin brother.[128] This resemblance is close enough that even when the Carnage symbiote operates independently of Kasady, it is near impossible, even for people familiar with Cletus, to discern his absence unless informed as such.[129] To date, no other symbiote has demonstrated as close a bond as that between Cletus Kasady and the Carnage symbiote.
The symbiote considers Cletus to be its ideal host, calling him its family, and loathes being separated from him. Despite this, it has willingly abandoned him on multiple occasions, usually to bond to more powerful hosts like Ben Reilly and Norrin Radd. However, these instances were temporary, with the symbiote willingly returning to Cletus -- even abandoning the cosmic powers of the Silver Surfer when it learned he was dying without it. If forcibly separated from Cletus, the symbiote seeks to reunite with him at all costs and punish those responsible, killing anyone who gets in its way. For instance, when the symbiote was removed from Cletus' body and transferred to Doctor Karl Malus by the Wizard, who seemingly killed the comatose Cletus, Malus told Klaw that the symbiote was full of rage and the moment the Wizard's control slipped it would take over him to exact revenge, which it later proceeded to do.[130] During the period that Cletus was lobotomised, the Carnage symbiote took possession of his catatonic body, ceasing to verbally communicate and massacring anyone and anything it could get near, utterly consumed by vengeful rage for what was done to its host. Disembodied by the rampaging symbiote, Klaw hypothesized that its behavior is like a human teenager, striving for independence from its host while at the same time craving attention and affection, though he later realized that the symbiote was actually separating from Cletus of its own volition to become more powerful and mold Cletus into the truly perfect host.
The Carnage symbiote, much like Cletus, harbours a great need for familial connection and a strong fear of abandonment, a consequence of its being abandoned by its parent. However, it is unclear how far beyond Cletus himself this longing extends, as the symbiote has not vocally shown interest in the other members of Cletus's adoptive family, nor does it share Cletus's romantic inclinations, going so far as to be willing to kill an alternate counterpart of Shriek, Cletus's main romantic interest.[131] However, given the Carnage symbiote's reaction to alternate versions of Cletus -- referring to them as 'not my Cletus' -- it is likely that this attitude is exclusive towards alternate counterparts. Its reaction towards its own spawn, conversely, is nothing but undiluted hatred, seeking to kill them whenever possible; the lone exception being its youngest spawn, Raze, who remained an -- albeit possibly unwilling -- ally to her parent.[132]
After being rejected by its original host for disagreeing on the pursuit of godhood, Carnage's love for its host transmuted into bitterness, seeking to prove it could live without him and attempting to push its limits in his absence; the symbiote refuted its passion for murder and malevolence, hypocritically citing it as Cletus's interest alone whilst visibly revelling in the mayhem it carried out. Despite this, however, the symbiote remained affectionate towards Cletus, fondly recalling their time together and referring to him as 'my Cletus' when confronted by a Kasady from another Earth. Eventually, the symbiote would come to terms with exactly how much it missed its former host and sought to reunite with him, first by creating a clone to bond with, and later seeking the original Cletus to merge with the clone, willingly or not. After accepting Cletus back into its life and how much it needed him, the symbiote ceased denying itself from indulging its interests beyond pursuing its goals, thrilled at the simple pleasures of enjoying a burger, and once again revelling in the experience of killing.[133]
Powers
Symbiote Biology: The symbiote covers its host in red and black biomass and grants them superhuman strength, reflexes, and agility. It also grants its wielder the ability to stick to walls, create web like substance, tendrils and (hypothesized to be a result of its incubation on Earth) to create bladed and blunt weapons from its own biomass. It also grants limited shape-shifting, demonstrated by its above abilities and the ability to mimic any form of clothing. As it is bonded to Cletus Kasady's bloodstream, it is almost impossible to forcibly separate them and it can regenerate even if seemingly destroyed. The original human host of Venom's spawn was the sociopathic serial killer named Cletus Kasady. Kasady's insatiable bloodlust bestowed the symbiote with power surpassing those of its progenitor, making Kasady much stronger than Venom and Spider-Man combined. Over the years the Carnage symbiote has underwent a host of mutations and alterations which have served to increase both it and its host's powers.[134] However, the portion of the symbiote bonded to Cletus Kasady was ultimately destroyed when it tried to shield him from atmospheric re-entry. •Superhuman Strength: Cletus Kasady was an individual of slightly above average conditioning.[135] After bonding with his symbiote, he acquired physical strength exceeding that of Spider-Man and Venom combined, letting him easily lift in excess of 80 tons.[136] Additions to the symbiote's biomass make both the Carnage symbiote and its host infinitely stronger as it grows in size and gains in bulk.[137] It can also be strengthened by feeding off the negative emotions of others around it, causing it to grow larger and exponentially stronger. •Superhuman Durability: The Carnage symbiote's biomass can withstand high caliber bullets, great impact forces, explosions, and powerful energy blasts without sustaining significant physical injury.[138] •Superhuman Stamina: The Carnage symbiote augments its host's musculature and stamina well beyond peak human capacity, enabling Cletus to survive - albeit comatose - in the vacuum of space after his battle with the Sentry.[139] It is able to survive in oxygen-less areas for long periods of time such as underwater or in toxic gases, the symbiote filtering breathable air to the host.[139] •Regenerative Healing Factor: The Carnage symbiote possesses regenerative capabilities that enable it to fully regenerate from a few cells. It is capable of rapidly healing its host from would-be fatal injuries as severe as being torn in half, being decapitated,[140] and healing the neurological injuries sustained by both the Wizard and Cletus Kasady after bonding to them for only a short period of time. It was also able to fix Osborn's deformities caused by excessive plastic surgery, restoring his original visage.[141] •Genetic Memory: All symbiotes possess the genetic memories of their ancestors, a rudimentary replica of the symbiotes hive-mind.[142] For instance, the Carnage symbiote possesses genetic memories of Galactus destroying a symbiote-conquered world,[143] and of the symbiote invasion of the Microverse. •Wall-Crawling: Like its forebearer, Kasady's alien costume also replicates Spider-Man’s ability to cling to walls by controlling the flux of inter-atomic attraction between molecular boundary layers. •Telepathy: Carnage, like all symbiotes, has vast yet undisclosed psychic abilities it has yet to fully grasp.[143] A unique property Carnage uses of it, is the ability to download the insanity and evil of both its host and the symbiote into another sapient mind through use of its tendrils.[144] It can also force Cletus Kasady's memories onto its hosts in order to torture and corrupt them.[139] •Technological Symbiosis: Due to its biomass being used in the creation of Tanis Nieves' prosthetic limb and the Iron Ranger suits, the Carnage symbiote was able to seize control of them, temporarily assimilating the latter to become "Mass Carnage".[145] It was also able to reach into and upload its insanity into Tony Stark's Iron Man armor when the latter tried to hack the Hall Industries biotech.[105] •Webbing: The symbiote can project a powerful, organic web-like substance similar to Spider-Man and Venom have. Typically using this viscous substance to swing from building to building or as a means of immobilizing someone. The webbing is exceptionally strong, much more than even the finest human athlete can break. •Fangs & Claws: While bonded to a host, the symbiote frequently manifests fanged jaws and razor-sharp claws on its fingers and occasionally toes; which can be used as weapons in combat. •Constituent-Matter Generation: The Carnage symbiote is capable of forming tendrils and tentacles of its amorphous red-and-black biomass, using this to strangle or impale opponents. The symbiote can also convert ingested organic materials such as flesh and blood into additional biomass.[106] •Constituent-Matter Manipulation: The Carnage symbiote possesses the ability to shapeshift its biomass into various shapes and forms.[139] This is most-commonly utilized to create bladed armaments such as swords, spikes, bludgeons, knives, claws and axes; though the symbiote once morphed its host's arms into a pair of bat-like wings.[107] The symbiote can also discharge its biomass as projectiles, though these projectiles only last for approximately 30 seconds before crumbling into dust.[146] •360-Degree Senses: While lacking a spider-sense, the Carnage symbiote possesses a form of full-body receptory system,[146] in that each individual cell is capable of acting as an eye, ear, mouth, nose, or tastebud.[147] •ESP Immunity: The Carnage symbiote is able to bypass Spider-Man's Spider-Sense, and can also suppress its presence to evade Venom's ability to detect its offspring and strike at him without triggering alarm.[148] •Camouflage Capabilities: The symbiote is capable of mimicking the appearance of any form of clothing, camouflaging with its surroundings, and even mimicking other people. Kasady's clothing is largely red due to the symbiote's biomass coloration.[149] •Digital Immersion: Carnage once figured out how to spread his symbiotic biomass into the Internet by splicing his molecules through Ethernet cables to travel between hard-wired computers systems.[150] •Symbiotic Expansion and Psychic Control: Following being experimented on by Hall Industries, the symbiote developed the ability to create duplicates of itself that could be controlled by its main body.[151] The symbiote's excess biomass can be remotely piloted through large communities or vast expanses to take control over countless individuals with but a gesture. This power was initially lost after the Superior Spider-Man had the creature chemically neutered; but the symbiote regained an altered version of this lost facility via exposure to The Darkhold - though this required an altar to Chthon to work properly.[152] After bonding to Norman Osborn, the Carnage symbiote regained this ability in full, transferring part of its biomass to Normie Osborn to turn him into the Goblin Childe. It acquired a variant of this ability after inhabiting the Grendel symbiote, being able to create offshoots by splitting off portions of that symbiote's constituent matter; unlike the Carnage symbiote's offshoots, which are simply extensions of itself, these offshoots become full-fledged independent symbiotes with the potential to form minds of their own, and even turn against their progenitor. After the Grendel's mass was devoured by symbiote-possessed sharks, Carnage lost this ability, regaining its original version of the power. •Symbiote Assimilation: A trait shared with other symbiotes, the Carnage symbiote is capable of assimilating others into its own constituent mass in order to vastly increase its size and strength; and seemingly used this ability to restore itself after the majority of its biomass was devoured by Venom, and after being incinerated by atmospheric re-entry. •Vampirism: The Carnage symbiote is rarely depicted with vampiric abilities resembling those of its Ultimate counterpart. Its very touch is said to be caustic to others, making prolonged contact fatal to any unlucky recipient within the symbiote's grasp.[153] •Stretching and deforming: Even while bonded to a host, the Carnage symbiote can grow and expand to any size as long as it has the additional bodily mass to supplement its growth. The symbiote is also able to get inside of small areas such as electric wires and the insides of cars to completely disable them.[151] •Parasitic Inheritance: The symbiotes can copy the powers and abilities of other beings by interfacing with their genetic code. The symbiotes are also capable of recalling that information from previous hosts and imprinting it upon its current wearer, granting them a host of copied and assimilated powers.[154] •Empathic Empowerment: The Carnage symbiote can take any form of negative emotions around it and turn it into a fuel source both for the purpose of sustenance and a power boost.[155][107] The Carnage symbiote's unusual power compared to other symbiotes has been attributed to it feeding off and amplifying Cletus Kasady's insatiable nihilistic bloodlust. •Power Absorption: Carnage can somehow absorb the abilities of beings even if they do not have a symbiote by integrating the source of their powers into itself. Following its falling out with Cletus, the symbiote pursued its own goals to rise into power and become a God Butcher, intending to kill Eddie Brock and seize the King in Black throne to itself. It proceeded to assimilate as many powers as it could, throughout the Marvel Universe and the Multiverse, killing many Venoms until facing an alternate Knull and becoming a King in Black itself. Eventually, it burst out of Meridius's temporal duplicate's chest and assimilated his powers as well. His powers include: •Assimilation: Carnage can absorb both living and nonliving substance into itself, primarily absorbing other symbiotes in order to empower itself.[122] It was able to absorb Uru by consuming the corpses of deceased dwarves, using it to withstand the stellar heat of the Godforge and create All-Blood the Necrospear. During his ascension into a God Butcher, Carnage assimilated multiple different incarnations of Venom and Carnage from across the multiverse, including: Ant-Venom, Anti-Carnage, Venomized Wolverine, Samurai Venom, Venoman-Thing, Venomized Electro, and alternate versions of Shriek and Mania, giving him the ability to use all of their powers.[115] This power is not however limited to his god-butcher iteration/and or comic; Carnage is capable of this within his previously 'normal' levels of power. •Armor Manifestation: When drawing on the full power of All-Blood, Carnage manifests an Asgardian suit of armor comprised of uru and its biomass.[115] •Regenerative Healing Factor: Stolen from a Venomized Wolverine, Carnage's regenerative capabilities are greatly augmented.[156][131] •Size Manipulation: Stolen from a Venomized Ant-Man, Carnage can alter his size.[156][131] •Hell-Mark: Stolen from a version of Andrea Benton, the demonic sigil gives him an assortment of demonic abilities.[156] •Hellfire Conjuration: With the Hell-Mark Carnage is able to conjure and manipulate hellfire.[156] •Fire Immunity: As a side-effect of its ability to conjure hellfire, the Hell-Mark makes Carnage immune to fire.[156] •Demon Summoning and Control: As a potential Hell-Lord, Carnage is able to use the Hell-Mark to summon and command a variety of demons, including the Monsters of Evil.[131] •Electrostatic Energy Generation: The power to manipulate and generate electricity, stolen from a Venomized version of Electro.[156] •Empathic Corrosive Touch: The power to secrete sulfuric acid from its body in an empathic response to fear, stolen from a Venomized version of Man-Thing.[157] •Cleansing Touch: Stolen from Anti-Carnage, Carnage can produce antibodies that purge others of impurities such as toxins, drugs, diseases, and other malignant substances through physical contact; being especially potent against other symbiotes -- including other versions of Anti-Venom.[115] •Power of the King in Black: After killing and consuming Knull and assimilating his symbiote, Carnage obtained the King in Black's power.[158] •Transformation - Water: The ability of Hydro-Man, stolen by Carnage when he absorbed his Soul Molecule. Under Carnage's usage this ability gives his symbiote biomass greater fluidity and the ability to augment its humanoid form. •Darkforce Manipulation: By tearing off and absorbing one of Johnathon Ohnn's spots, Carnage became able to draw on the Darkforce. •Portal Creation: The ability to open portals to the Spotted Dimension, enabling Carnage to redirect attacks, teleport, and access other realms.[159][128] •Power Cosmic: Stolen from the Silver Surfer, after killing him Carnage stole his board and coated it in symbiote matter, adding the Surfer's powers to his own.[160] Former Powers Following the Wizard bonding the Carnage symbiote to the crippled Doctor Malus after breaking Carnage out of prison.[161] Wittman utilized his neurospsychic technology in order to control the psychotic symbiote through its host, creating a three way rapport that gave Carnage a much greater degree of personal control over its amorphous substance as the Wizard made both the symbiotes and its host his sub-servant dreadnought. •Body Storage: When Karl Malus bonded to the symbiotes, he used it to hold and store multiple munitions, armaments, and other items and equipment on his person through dimensional apertures within it's biomass. He was able to extrude these objects through the biomass while maintaining an otherwise sleek, aerodynamic profile. •Attribute Absorption: The Carnage symbiote can adapt some of the stored objects' unique properties, as shown when Karl Malus once absorbed some Vibranium into the suit and incorporated it into one of its Constituent-Matter blades. •Repetitive Hosting Empowerment: The Wizard and Klaw both erroneously surmised that symbiotes are weakest without a proper host to be bonded to. After being dissipated, Klaw realized that the Carnage symbiote is more autonomous than many others of its kind, and by bonding to multiple hosts over time the symbiote has become more powerful. After acquiring the Carnage symbiote, Norman Osborn bonded to it and augmented it with Goblin Formula after having it purge the nanite cure from his body.[162] As a result, the symbiote was rendered outright immune to fire and sonics as long as it remained bonded to him, and several of its other abilities were restored and/or augmented. Once the symbiote was separated from Osborn it lost these new abilities, enabling Spider-Man to kill it. •Pyrokinesis: Infusion with the Goblin Formula gave the Carnage symbiote a form of pyrokinesis. It was able to breathe fire from its mouth - used offensively against Venom, and create explosive "Carnage-Bombs" from its biomass. The symbiote-augmented Goblin Glider was wreathed in flames, which could be used both offensively and for propulsion.[163] •Symbiotic Expansion and Psychic Control: The Carnage symbiote was able to create remote-controlled symbiotic biomass constructs which were self-aware and sensory-linked to their progenitor. Examples of these constructs included the Carnage Bombs - flight-capable explosives that he could speak through; and the symbiote-augmented Goblin Glider, which he could either manifest out of his body or create by covering an existing Goblin Glider in symbiote biomass. The Red Goblin's control over the Carnage symbiote was such that he could remotely control projectiles of the symbiote's biomass, intending to use them to assassinate Spider-Man's loved ones. Spirit of Vengeance: After consuming Alejandra Jones' spine, Dark Carnage was temporarily imbued with the power of her Spirit of Vengeance, granting the symbiote and its host all of the powers and abilities of a Ghost Rider. •Ghost Rider Transformation •Superhuman Strength •Superhuman Stamina •Superhuman Durability •Regenerative Healing Factor •Empathic Reading •Identity Detection •Sin Manipulation •Hellfire Manipulation •Mystical Chain Projection •Penance Stare •Hell Cycle Manifestation
Abilities
As its father was bounded to Peter Parker, Carnage and its siblings are immune to Spider-Man's Spider Sense. At one point, it granted Kasady the ability to "see" through its costume, but this ability seemed to be lost. Cletus Kasady is a schizophrenic, enabling him to activate extra-terrestrial episodes of paranoia and delusion to transform into the demonic alien symbiote of Carnage.
Weaknesses
Like most other Symbiotes, it is vulnerable to sound and fire. However Carnage doesn't mind heat as long as it's the one making it. After being exposed to the eldritch power of the Darkhold, the symbiote has lost its vulnerability to sonics, though it is still vulnerable to heat and has gained a vulnerability to Chthonic magic. After being dosed with the Goblin Formula, the Carnage symbiote has lost its weakness to heat as well, though it remains vulnerable to Anti-Venom's caustic touch. After possessing a sample of the Grendel symbiote dragon, Carnage inherited its weakness to electricity, which it has since lost after restoring its original biomass. After absorbing a quantity of Uru, Carnage regained its invulnerability to sonics and fire, to the point it could withstand a bombardment of ionised plasma from a star.
Weapons
•The Carnage symbiote uses its fangs jaws, talons, and tendrils as weapons. •All-Blood the Necrospear: A bident forged from uru and Carnage's own biomass in emulation of All-Black the Necrosword. This weapon possesses the power to destroy worlds and can seemingly bypass immortality and healing factors to kill beings as powerful as gods.[164] When channelling All-Blood's full power, Carnage assumes a horned armored appearance with tassels bearing Asgardian sigils.[115]

•Silver Surfer's Surfboard: After killing a variant of Norrin Radd, Carnage stole his board.[160]
•While created as a character related to Spider-Man and Venom, Carnage was later tied to the Cthulhu Mythos version of the Marvel Universe, first associated to Chthon and the Darkhold in Carnage (Vol. 2) (in which the Elder God is presented as one of the Great Old Ones and depicted more than ever as a Mythos-like entity), then to Knull, an elder god with references to Hastur and Carcosa, in Web of Venom: Carnage Born #1.
•King in Black Handbook #1 refers to the Toxin, Scorn, and Raze symbiotes as the offspring of the Negative Zone symbiote rather than the original, which contradicts the contents of the comics themselves.
•When asked why Absolute Carnage referred to the Carnage-ized Grendel symbiote as being the "Carnage symbiote" when it was bonded to Cletus Kasady, writer Donny Cates stated that any symbiote that Cletus Kasady bonds to becomes the "Carnage symbiote" due to him having been the one who first came up with the alias.[165] However, as of Extreme Carnage and Carnage (Vol. 3), the Carnage-ized Grendel symbiote is treated as the original Carnage symbiote resurrected and empowered by Knull.
•The symbol on Dark Carnage's chest is meant to be a white version of Knull's dragon emblem, though numerous artists have mistakenly drawn it as Venom/Mania's spider emblem.[166]
•The Carnage symbiote's only goal in life is to destroy and kill. Kasady is the perfect host for the symbiote because he seeks destruction as much as the symbiote itself.
•The symbiote has a considerably stronger bond with Kasady than its father has with its hosts. This is indicated by the fact that Kasady has predominantly used the term "I," as opposed to his father's use of "we."[168]
•In Amazing Spider-Man #360, Carnage seeks out his first victim by selecting a "really stupid" name out of a phone book; in the previous issue, whilst having a discussion with the Carnage symbiote, Cletus is seen agreeing with a suggestion it makes, calling it "the first thing [we'll] do". Whilst the exact suggestion is not audible, it indicates the idea of picking a victim from the phone book was the Carnage symbiote's idea.
•Under Haze Mancer's symbiote classification system, Carnage would likely be categorized as a "slasher" due to its tendency to form bladed weaponry.[169]
•According to the Maker's theory regarding symbiotes spawning, the Carnage symbiote was spawned in response to Thanos creating the Infinity Gauntlet and beginning his hunt for the Infinity Gems.
•Following it giving birth to Toxin, Cletus briefly referred to the Carnage symbiote using female pronouns.[139] Prior to this, he referred to it using male pronouns, reverting to them not long after.[110] Notably, however, the Carnage symbiote itself has only ever referred to itself as male.[170][171]

Carnage | Marvel 101. When a symbiote offspring of Eddie Brock, AKA Venom, merges with serial killer Cletus Kasady, the result is the nightmarish murdering menace known as Carnage! Reborn from an alien creature, he’s a more psychotic and dangerous being that spawns a family of symbiotes.
Carnage is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, usually as an adversary of Spider-Man and the archenemy of his father Venom, in particular the Eddie Brock incarnation of the character, although Carnage and Venom have joined forces when their goals have aligned.
