CARNAGE

Cletus Kasady had a troubled childhood, killing his grandmother by
pushing her down a flight of stairs, and torturing his mother's dog.
His mother then tries to kill Cletus, and is apparently beaten to the
brink of death by Kasady's father, who receives no defense from Kasady
during his trial. As an orphan, Kasady is sent to the St. Estes Home
for Boys, where his antisocial behavior makes him the target of abuse
from both the other orphans and the staff. Kasady gains revenge by
murdering the disciplinarian administrator, pushing a girl who refused
a date with him in front of a moving bus, and burning down the
orphanage.
Kasady becomes a serial killer. He is captured and sent to Ryker's
Island prison where he shares a cell with Eddie Brock, who had lost the
alien symbiote that transformed him into the supervillain Venom.
Brock's symbiote soon returns and bonds with him again, and unwittingly
leaves behind the symbiote's offspring; the symbiotes reproduce
asexually, once per generation; the children are then of no consequence
to the parent, hence Brock's symbiote felt no need to inform Brock of
the existence of its offspring. The new symbiote enters Kasady's
bloodstream through a cut and bonds with his blood, transforming him
into Carnage.[5] He escapes prison,[6] and begins a series of murders,
and at the scene of each crime, writes "Carnage Rules" on the walls
with his own blood. He is found by Spider-Man, though the hero proves
to be no match for Carnage's powers. In desperation, Spider-Man makes a
truce with Venom to fight Carnage.Carnage is defeated with sonic
weaponry, but the symbiote lives on because it is merged with Kasady's
bloodstream.
Carnage goes on to recruit an army of psychopathic supervillains
including Shriek, Demogoblin, Carrion, and Doppelganger to overtake New
York City. They are driven back by Spider-Man, Venom, and a number of
other superheroes.
Aside from Cletus Kasady, the Carnage symbiote bonds with Ben Reilly,
creating Spider-Carnage,and later the Silver Surfer.[10]
Venom eventually reabsorbs the Carnage symbiote into his own body "for
good." Without the symbiote, Kasady retains the Carnage persona by
costuming himself in red paint and continuing his killing sprees, but
does so as a normal human, only for Spider-Man to easily defeat him in
a fight. Kasady finds a replica of the Carnage symbiote in the Negative
Zone.
The Carnage symbiote later spawns a "child" symbiote, named Toxin.
In New Avengers #2, Carnage is one of several supervillains trying to
escape from The Raft.Sentry finishes him off, flying Carnage outside
the Earth's atmosphere and ripping him apart. According to Iron Man's
computer, Kasady may not have been inside the symbiote when the Sentry
ripped it apart.However, it is later discovered that Kasady did in fact
die in the incident, and that the symbiote will return to Earth to find
a new female host.

- Spider-Man: The Animated Series voiced by Scott Cleverdon. Due to being a Saturday morning cartoon,
Carnage was not allowed to be depicted killing people. Cletus Kasady
first appeared in the episode "Sins of Fathers" where he is captured by
the police in his home after planning to explode a bomb over New York.
In prison he shared a cell with Eddie Brock (who had recently lost the
symbiote) who finds Cletus very frustrating. In the episode "Venom
Returns" the symbiote finds Eddie in prison and rebonds with him and
escapes; Cletus then becomes jealous of Eddie's powers as he sees Venom
flee the prison, saying he wants the power for himself. Baron Mordo, servant of the demon Dormammu,
appears in front of Cletus with the Carnage symbiote and explains that
it has the same power as Venom. He makes a deal with Cletus to have the
symbiote power in exchange for serving Dormammu; Cletus accepts the
offer and bonds with the symbiote, turning into Carnage, and then
escapes the prison. Carnage and Venom team up with each other and steal
the portal device so Dormammu can travel to earth and consume souls. In
the next episode, "Carnage", after Venom betrays Dormammu, Carnage is
offered the ability to absorb the life force
out of people so Dormammu can have enough energy to consume souls on
earth. Carnage also kidnaps Eddie's girlfriend Ashley. Spider-Man calls
for Iron Man's help in order to stop Carnage and send Dormammu back to
his own reality. Venom also joins forces with Spider-Man to help save
Ashley. A final showdown results in a fight between Spider-Man,
Carnage, Dormammu, Iron Man and Venom in an underground cave where
Carnage has released Dormammu.
Other versions
Exiles
The Earth-15 psychotic Peter Parker and Carnage combine to become the "Spider", and becomes a member of Weapon X Intercompany crossover
Carnage teams up with and later turns against the Joker during Spider-Man And Batman #1.
MC2
In this future timeline, Carnage bonds with Spider-Girl's friend, Moose Mansfied.[22] He also infects Spider-Girl's little brother, Ben, turning him into a miniature version of himself.[23] Spider-Girl uses the sonic blasters of the villain Reverb to destroy all traces of the symbiote.[
Spider-Man Unlimited
The Spider-Man Unlimited version of Carnage has the additional power to "see" from any part of itself and relay the visual information to Kasady.[25]
Ultimate Carnage
In the Ultimate Marvel series, Carnage is a self-regenerating form of life based on the symbiotic suit research of Richard Parker, created by Curt Conners
and consists of his own DNA and that of Peter Parker, which at the time
contained samples of the Venom symbiote. When Carnage was first
introduced, he was a monster of instinct, with no intelligence or self
awareness, with his only aim to feed on the DNA of others to stabilize
himself. After killing Gwen Stacy,
this incarnation of Carnage has gone on to mimic her "essence" and now
believes itself to be Gwen Stacy. Ultimate Carnage's appearance is
based on Venom, Peter Parker, Curt Conners, and Gwen Stacy. In its
monster form, Carnage resembles his original incarnation, such as its
large eyes and fangs, as well as the Lizard's claws. In addition, the
center of its body glows yellow. In its 'human form', Carnage resembles
Peter's father Richard Parker in its first appearance, and Gwen in its
second. The Carnage symbiote was absorbed by Eddie Brock, leaving Gwen and returning her to a healthy duplicate of the original.[26][27] In one Ultimate Spider-Man comic book, Cletus Kasady is seen on a list of known cat burglars.[28]
Powers and abilities
The alien symbiote endows Cletus Kasady with enhanced physical strength greater than that of Spider-Man and Venom combined[15]
and shapeshifting abilities, project a web-like substance from any part
of his body including the formation of a variety of weapons, and plant
thoughts into a person's head using a symbiote tendril.
Much like Spider-Man, Kasady has the ability to cling to virtually any
surface. He can rapidly crawl, walk, or run across even slick surfaces.
He is able to rapidly regenerate damaged body tissues much faster and
more extensively than an ordinary human. It isn't known, however, if he
can fully regenerate severed limbs or missing internal organs. Kasady
is also immune to the effects of all Earthly diseases and infections as
long as he remains bonded with the symbiote. Like Venom, the symbiote
is vulnerable to heat, and is undetectable to Spider-Man's spider-sense.
Unlike Venom, Carnage can launch parts of his symbiote at enemies in
the form of weapons such as spears, knives, axes, etc., although they
disintegrate into dust within ten seconds of leaving Carnage's body.[16] Though not originally seen, the Carnage symbiote has become vampiric, feeding on and thus endangering his victims by mere touch.
