However, the symbiote was vulnerable to both sonics (to a much lesser degree than the Venom symbiote), and to heat-based attacks (to a much greater degree than the Venom symbiote). Similar to Venom, the Carnage symbiote shares a telepathic bond with its host and is capable of absorbing bullets from small-arms weapons firing conventional ammunition. These portions of the symbiote costume, when separated from Kasady for more than approximately 10 seconds, lose their molecular integrity and disintegrate into dust. In addition, the Carnage symbiote can separate parts of itself and project bladed weapons, such as ax blades and sharp sword-like protrusions. Like Venom, Carnage generates “snares” to trap and entangle foes and extends the costume into elongated claws and teeth. Like Spider-Man and Venom, Carnage possesses the power to stick to walls at his hands and feet, and to generate “swing lines” or “tendrils” from the alien material’s tough, flexible fibers of organic polymers, which he uses for travel in a fashion like how Spider-Man uses his webbing. However, the new symbiote appeared to have adopted all of the original Carnage’s powers, presumably via some form of transference from Kasady. With the replacement Carnage symbiote, which was not incubated on Earth nor directly linked to Venom, Kasady can lift 35 tons, but the exact causality of this differential in abilities is unknown. Although it is not clear how this is the case, the augmentation may have been due to this particular spawn being incubated on Earth, and/or due to being the “child” of the Venom symbiote, which had adopted Spider-Man’s powers including his strength and agility. The original symbiote grants its host superhuman strength (capable of lifting 50 tons) and speed superior to those held by either Spider-Man or Venom.

Without the symbiote, Kasady possesses normal human physiology (although his psychotic behavior gives him some enhancement). It is not yet clear if the replacement symbiote is bonded at the same low level with Kasady. This bond rendered it impossible for the authorities to remove the symbiote without killing the human within. By contrast, the symbiotic “other” that had merged with Kasady was at one stage joined at a much lower cellular layer-bonding with the very blood cells of its host. The original Venom “parent” symbiote bonded with its host at a clean juncture to the nervous system. Far more lethal than Venom, Carnage escapes jail to embark on a murderous spree, killing a graduate student at Empire State University (ESU) who happens to be friends with Peter, kicking off a long-term enemy in the wall-crawler.

Quickly setting about to consume a host, the biomass melds with the murderous Kasady-and the deadly symbiotic duo calling itself Carnage emerges. The symbiote that had possessed Brock-and, at one time, Peter Parker, AKA Spider-Man-belonged to a less-violent caste of a bloodthirsty race of space-faring parasites. The pair easily smash through the cell wall and vanish into the night, failing to notice the trace of alien biomass they left behind. The creature finds Brock in his jail cell and bonds with its host once more. Brock had become separated from his symbiotic other half, Venom. Sentenced to eleven consecutive life terms for the slaughter of numerous innocents, psychopathic serial killer Kasady shares time with his new cellmate, Eddie Brock. Then, inexplicably revived, Cletus grows up to become a killer, though in his mind, he sets his victims free. It’s there where Cletus’ devotion to chaos and death forms. 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.īorn in Ravencroft Institute to inmate Louise Kasady, Cletus emerges into the world, perishes at birth, and ends up in hell where he’s caged.
