800 tons!?

I didn't realize Carnage was more than 8 times stronger than the Thing. Can someone provide a citation if this is true?

He's not; He is, however, stronger then Spider-Man and Venom combined. Last I heard, he could lift 80 tons. Bluecatcinema 12:33, 25 May 2007 (UTC)carnage CAN carry 800 tons ahaahahaaa!!!

Text

I've added what I remember about Carnage's development into the article, including a bit about Kassidy and Brock meeting in prison, which is where the Symbiote exchange took place. I'm as postive as can be that this information is correct however I'm having a difficult time verifying it using the web and I can't seem to find those particular issues within my old comics. If anyone has more information about that exchange or happens to know that something I've added-in is incorrect please correct the information. -KK

Ultimate Carnage: Powers

In the ultimate universe, Carnage also seemed to somehow alter "his" image (assuming he is asexual) such as the image of Peter Parker's father, in the temporary Ultimate Carnage graphic novel. He also supposedly, in addition to life-force, absorbed the DNA of his victims. But then, how could he have gotten the DNA to assume the image of Peter Parker's father? Even Peter Parker is not a duplicate of his own father, assuming the DNA came from Peter Parker into making Carnage as is known from meiosis. -Ultimate Carnage. 2004

Parker's father's DNA was used to create the original Venom suit, and part of Venom was used in the DNA mix to create Carnage, along with that of Peter and Conner.

Suggestion

Stop deleting my additions!!! If I missed something, just add it, don't delete the whole thing!! This website will do better with more info on a few subjects. Now, I made this complaint on other pages. Answer on any of them or this one on why you are deleting extra info and making this website more general on the info.

Horrific Grammar

There is some terrible grammar in the Carnage article. Not only that, but there are instances when the information provided is obviously incomplete. I've added the Cleanup tag to the article. -Unknown

Where..?

Why is Shriek listed as Carnage's 'sister' ? She never had a symbiote, much less ever referred to herself as his sister. Rather, she referred to herself as Carnage's wife in the Maximum Carnage run. I am editing it. Shriek was also the name of one of the five symbiotes from Venom Lethal Protectoc. The Shriek you are thinking about is a diffrent one. -Unknown

There has been a mistake.Shriek is Carnage's wife

Carnage in David Michelinie's Grand Design

(From Carnage Rulzs page on the Marvel World Order site, citing article "Ahhhh, Where it all began!" By David Michelinie [1])

"I wanted to kill the guy. No, no not my editor--he signs the checks! Actually, I wanted to kill Venom. I would have, too, if not for...ah, but I'm getting ahead of myself. In the beginning, there was an alien symbiote that Spider-Man had brought back from a distant planet. Emulating a sentient, black and white costume, the creature tried eventually to bond permanently with Peter Parker, everyone's favorite web-slinging wonder. However, Spidey fought back and in the course of the battle it wound up sacrificing itself at the last moment to save Spider-Man. Then a year or two later when I began writing for the Amazing Spider-Man, a new villain was called for, and I resurrected an idea I'd begun developing in another book. As a result, I brought back the alien, joined it along with superstar artist, Todd McFarlane--introduced VENOM to the world! Things went pretty well. Writing the character was a lot of fun. But since I had planned to stay on Amazing for at least 20 to 30 years, I started thinking about the future--and I got a dangerous idea: since Venom had his first story in Amazing 300, why not have his last story in Amazing 400! Yeah! I could kill Eddie Brock off, then have the costume wander around the Marvel Universe for a year or two, joining with various other characters, before settling in on another host and becoming the "New Venom"' Imagine the nifty stories if the symbiote joined with Doctor Octopus, the Lizard, or J.Jonah Jameson! It sounded like a great idea, but then something unexpected happened---readers absolutely loved Venom! As popularity and sales rose, it became increasingly obvious that Marvel would never let me actually waste comicdom's favorite slavering symbiote. O what to do! Then came the answer: if we couldn't have the existing symbiote join with someone else, why not create another one? Since the alien was of an unknown species, it seemed reasonable that it might reproduce asexually, spawning a seed that would become a creature similar to itself. Ah, but who would join with it? Though psychotic, Eddie Brock had a deep, if twisted, sense of justice which drove him to protect innocents. (At least when he wasn't busy trying to turn Spider-Man into gut jam!) I thought that it might be an interesting contrast to the unique dichotomy to give Venom like power to a total sociopath, someone without a hint of redeeming value, a lunatic who'd eat babies for breakfast and ask for seconds. Enter Cletus Kasady. An unrepentant mass murderer, Cletus was Eddie's cell mate in prison, and thus became the eager recipient of Venom's spawn when the symbiote gave birth while breaking Eddie out. Okay, we had our new character--what would we name him? No problem I thought: we'll call him CHAOS! After all, that's what Clete wants to bring to the world right? Perfect! Until a rival company came out with a character by the same name a couple of weeks later. The artist Mark Bagley proposed Ravage! Again it was perfect! Until we found out that Marvel had a book in the works called Ravage 2099. Finally the assistant editor Eric Fien suggested casually, not knowing that he was about to make history, "How bout Carnage?" Once more, the name was perfect. And even better, this time no one else was using it! Which left us with one problem: What would the character look like? How would we maintain the visual connection to Venom while still making the new guy an individual unto himself? I posed the possibility that he could look like Venom, but that his costume would be multi-colored, constantly reflecting the chaotic nature of the man inside. Not being an artist, I didn't realize that that would put anyone who tried to draw it in a padded cell real fast! That's when Mark Bagley came up with the design we ultimately used, successfully retaining the constant change motif, but with a much more workable and effective, red and black color scheme. Seeing how Mark drew the character gave me ideas on how to use it, and between us we put together one nasty dude. And it seems the world likes nasty dudes. The first two stories featuring Carnage sold out, with no advertising, no publicity whatsoever. We assume that's because the readers found him entertaining---not admirable. (He is after all one sick puppy!) But whatever the reason, Cletus Kasady's popularity has steam rolled, rivaling that of his dad, Venom. In fact, he even headlined the biggest mega cross over in Spider-Man history, "Maximum Carnage." What will become of Clete and his living wardrobe in the future? No one knows. But I hope that this page gives you a little better of an explanation." --David Michelinie

I've removed this from the article. It doesn't seem relevant, it's badly done, and I don't have time to read it all. Can someone explain the relevancy? Tyciol 07:21, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

This is the introduction to the Spider-Man: Carnage trade paperback, which reprinted his first appearance. Looks like a word for word transcription, except for the last couple of lines (which originally said, basically, "enjoy the book" -- I italicized the part that I could tell was different). It doesn't belong here but it's a legit source. - HKMARKS 23:02, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Spawn title

I seem to remember that solicitations originally called the character "Spawn" or something like that, but obviously conflicts with McFarlane's then debuting Spawn comic made them change his name to "Carnage". Can anyone else back this upo or even remember this? Hueysheridan 00:20, 19 June 2006 (UTC)huh

I've thought that maybe the reason why it was called "spawn" was because Todd McFarlane actualy created the character. I have no data to back that up its just a theory. Jboncha (talk) 07:24, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Spider-Carnage

I think we should show Ben Reily as Spider-Carnage, just to put an example of Carnage's transformations. 65.103.84.79

I agree. After all, there is "Cosmic Carnage" on this article.--Shut The Eff Up 15:59, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

I added a summary of "Web of Carnage." I don't have a graphic for it. -HKMARKS 16:47, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the picture. This has been very helpful. 70.58.211.220

Ambiguous pronoun

Kasady claims he killed his father, who apparently killed the boy's mother when she tried to kill him[.]

She tried to kill whom? Cletus, or his father? JIP | Talk 08:51, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Cletus, I'm pretty sure. Mom: "You evil evil child! I'm gonna kill you!" Dad: "You're crazy, woman, leave that boy alone! *kills mom*" Li'l Cletus: "But I am evil! Bwahaha! *kills dad*" Something like that, anyway. -HKMARKS 13:42, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Ultimate Carnage

I think we should stop debating whether Carnage is a symbiote or a vampiric parasite. It would be best to say that this villain would be a symbiote, for the sake of the old comics, and for our readers. 70.58.211.220

It's not a symbiote nor a parasite. A symbiote is a creature who coexists with another creature. Earth-616 Venom/Carnage are mutualist symbiotes because both organisms benefit. A parasitic symbiote coexists with a host, but does harm it. Ultimate Carnage neither coexists nor leaves a host unharmed, at least that we've seen; it just eats it, so it's a predator. Furthermore, it's not part of the Symbiote (comics) alien species. Let's not start making up science. -HKMarks 14:51, 2 September 2006 (UTC)Heart worms have been know to kill dogs so it is not true that paractic don't harm a host.

Very well. I accept this proclomation. Now I'll move on to another subject. Should Carnage be given a name and gender? After all, all three of its DNA resources come from male men, and the book says Carnage is given the Ultimate treatment. I would say Carnage is an evil male predatorial creation bent on absorbing DNA to gain power. Synoposis good? 70.58.211.220more or likely the suit is asexliy meaning that is has no gender.

Carnage Unlimted

It is possible that the Carnage in Spider-Man Unlimited is a different carnage, because it looks completely different (Taller, with actual teeth instead of symbiote, red instead of violet). Also he can merge with Venom. And there is no proof that Carnage's host is Cletus Kasady either.

So, your point is? UnDeRsCoRe 20:44, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

If you have been watching Spidemran Unlimited in Yotube, then it clearly shows that Cletus is still the host of Carnage. Besides I think the producer/writers were different so get to a different version of what people expected from Carnage and Venom: Monstrous symbiotes, not humanoid symbiotes.

The original Venom and Carnage lacked monsterous details like claws, bones, and awkward shapes.

The symbiotes have most likely completely taken over their hosts, but that doesn't explain why Venom and Carnage work together. Ggctuk 12:58, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I posted a continuity issue between TAS and Unlimited on the respective talk page for Spider-Man Unlimited. Ggctuk 14:28, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Ultimate Carnage is Gwen?

I have yet to read Ultimate Spider-Man #100, but this article states Gwen turns into Carnage? Is this true? If not remove it, If it is, please enlighten me. UnDeRsCoRe 23:02, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

She does. I read the comic. This should really get interesting. 70.58.211.220

Yes, it's quite true. It turns out the %^&*$#@!s who stole Conner's work created a Gwen Stacy clone based on the Carnage creature's absorbtion of Stacy way back #63(?). Why exactly anyone would want to make a clone of poor Gwen, let alone a murderous monster out of her, has yet to be revealed. I did however, enjoy how Mr. Fantastic handeled the situation. "Please, agh, if you could indentify the source of your mutation. Are you an alien life form? And if so, which geneology do you--?"CovertSomnophore 21:10, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

My personal spin on this, albeit a most likely ignorant one, would be that Carnage's absorption of Gwen's DNA led to Carnage taking on the form of Gwen. His body was completely unstable to begin with, then, as time passed and he absorbed the life force/DNA from his victims, he became vastly more stable. This may account for him being strong enough to survive his apparent death in the smoke stack. This could lead to Doctor Octopus and the FBI finding "Gwen" and her subsequent escape as Carnage.

Does anyone have any images of Peter as Carnage in the video game? If they could post it up here, we would really appreciate it. 70.58.211.220

He looks identical to the one in the comic in every way. If you are desperate for one, you can take a screencap of the character profile at the Ultimate Spider-Man official site. - QuestionMark 20:48, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Profile

I placed a Profile for Ultimate Venom, but it got removed, with the comment "(per agreement at the Comics Project, Ultimate versions don't usually get a separate SHB)" placed as an explanation. Wishing to go along with the project, I have removed the profile of 'Ultimate Carnage'. I hope you will all agree that it was the right thing to do. SaliereTheFish 10:15, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Yup. And good catch - I hadn't noticed the Ultimate Carnage SHB. CovenantD 10:28, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Return?

Is it there a sight possableity [sorry for wrong spelling] that Carnage can return? When Sentry ripped him in half, there was nothing but the suit so that means that he can return. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 360man (talk • contribs) 02:31, 1 March 2007 (UTC).

We don't know if he will return, however that is not the kind of tihng that should be broguht up on the talk page, the talk page should be used to discuss changes in the article, not to discuss the subject of the article, I always felt what happened to Carnage was unclear, but we won't add any "OMG HE'S GONNA LIEK RETURN!!!!" BassxForte 19:50, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

I read somewhere that Carnage will be returning in the Anti-Venom comic or something like that. Carnage is almost obsolete; he was created to be a completely psycho version of Venom, but now that Venom's a complete psycho, he and Carnage are pretty similar (aside from their powers and goals). Who knows? Maybe if Carnage and Mac-Venom meet, they might be friends. 75.157.70.71 (talk) 03:15, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

What are carnages weaknesses. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.58.82.14 (talk) 20:46, 14 May 2007 (UTC).carnages weaknesses is intense heat and sonic sound

Well, I like Carnage (as a mad villain), but I think it's not so good that carnage, like Venom, Spider-Man's spider-sense turn of. That seems to be an advantage that has actually earned only th great Venom. I mean, come on Carnage is not scary. He is twisted, insane and cruel, but not the type who hides in shadows and attacks from ambush like Eddie Brock. In addition, he is not quite clear. The Symbiote is a mixture of Human Blood and Venom's Eggs. Thus it has released enormous mass (et. weapons, snares..) but abilities such as wall-crawling and Spider-sense would be rather unnatural, since he never was associated with Spider-man. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.164.119.27 (talk) 20:36, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Videogames

The Spider-Man videogame wasn't for the PSP.

How?

It has been stated that Eddie Brock's cancer was the only thing keeping his symbiote from draining his life force. Well, then what's keeping Casady from being drained? Bluecatcinema 12:35, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Carnage was created before the recon giving Eddie cancer, so who knows? 142.26.133.248 (talk) 21:22, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

I correct myself: evidently when they gave Eddie cancer they gave Cletus cancer as well. 142.26.133.248 (talk) 21:26, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

But Mac Gargan doesn't have cancer, does he? 75.157.70.71 (talk) 03:09, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Vampire powers

COMPLETELY separate from the argument over Carnage as a symbiote, New Avengers #2 says that Carnage has vampiric powers by touch. This isn't mentioned anywhere else in the mainstream Marvel universe, and it's perfectly possible that this is just an error by Bendis confusing Carnage with Ultimate Carnage (a vampire). I included it anyway, though. Anyone know whether or not someone at Marvel has mentioned this in an interview or something? Universaladdress 07:53, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Its because Bendis tends to get his wires crossed. Ever notice how his Spider-Man sounds just as spastic as his Teenage counterpart from the ultimate Universe. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.223.39.74 (talk) 00:01, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

What makes Carnage different from Venom is that he is far stronger than Venom, his ability to shapeshift parts of his body (ie an arm) into weapons, and that he is able to separate pieces of his symbiote (usually in the form of projectile weapons). (I've never read anywhere other than here about Carnage's ability to see from anywhere on his symbiote, but then again I've never read any of the comics with Carnage in them, only the books. Maybe its another Bendis thing?) Venom can create a razor-edge on his tentacles and shoot webbing out of his wrists, but that's about it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.157.70.71 (talk) 03:20, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Fictional Anarchist?

I'm somewhat familiar with the character, Carnage, and have read the trade paperback collecting his first appearance, but have not read any stories featuring him beyond this, so perhaps someone more knowledgeable on the subject could correct me; but when has Carnage ever been described by a work of source material as being an anarchist? Lets be clear, being an anarchist is a very specific thing. It's not belief in a negative social order. It is not mayhem, bedlem, insanity, or, dare I say it, carnage. So where does Carnage ever quote anarchist social theory, or provide an anarchic critique of economics? If source material cannot be produced that specifically cites Carnage as being an anarchist, it is inappropriate to use the term in this context. As no citation is provided, I'll be removing the character from the Category:Fictional anarchists, and will re-word the summary. I'll also be providing a citation for my edit, as I do have access to issues of the characters initial appearance and do know what his stated goals in those issues were. When a citation is provided, the wording can be reverted, and the character can be added not only to the category, but also to the List of fictional anarchists.--Cast 06:50, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

The character Carnage (comics) has just been added to the list of fictional anarchists, but the footnote acknowledges that source material does not explicitly refer to the character as an anarchist. Implied anarchic philosophy is not a proper source citation. The character will be removed from the list until a explicit citation can be provided.--Cast 19:19, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Carnage's goal is the establishment of a world of chaos; without any rules, where anyone can do anything with impunity. That makes him more of a fictional nihilist. 75.157.120.15 (talk) 07:02, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Silver Surfer?

I remember buying a comic a few years back where the silver surfer is covered with the carnage symbiote.. thingy?...

Its The Astonishing Spiderman #77, 12th september 2001....

In this issue it shows that the silver surfer once guided galactus to destroy a planet full of these red symbiotes! So does this not show that carnage wasnt created by venom? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Boyler22 (talk • contribs) 12:48, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

No, it doesn't say that at all. Just because more symbiotes exist doesn't necessarily mean that the Carnage symbiote wasn't born from the Venom one.--CyberGhostface (talk) 12:54, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Original research/speculation in Ultimate Carnage's section

Someone wrote in their own personal speculation, that based on the facial expression of the Carnage symbiote before it fell into the smokestack, that A.) It had realized that Peter's life was worth more than than it's, and B.) that it had willingly sacrificed itself.

First off, that's a pretty big assumption to make and its pretty farfetched as well. But even if it was plausible, it counts as original research as nothing in the comic suggested it. Wikipedia isn't a place to draw our own conclusions, its just to report the facts as we know them.--CyberGhostface (talk) 22:55, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Carnage Cosmic

In Carnage's history, an alternate-universe storylin is mentioned in the Carnage Cosmic (referred to as Cosmic Carnage) plot from What If? II #108, where Carnage bonds with the Silver Surfer. This is not a part of the official Marvel continuity, I believe, and shouldn't be listed as such. It even mentions in the article that the story doesn't match up with the actual continuity, saying " However, the Surfer and Spider-Man manage to return the symbiote to Kasady, who is subsequently encased by the Silver Surfer in an unbreakable material to spend the rest of his life reflecting on his sins. However, the material is clearly not as 'unbreakable' as the Surfer believes; when next seen, Kasady has somehow escaped from the material, although he is trapped in a cell specifically designed to contain him and stop him transforming into Carnage." I'm not terribly familiar with Wikipedia policy, so I'm not certain how to best fix this. However, I thought I'd bring it to attention. Nearphotison (talk) 16:34, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

After further research, it appears as though there may have been more than one storyline with Carnage Cosmic, and I may be mistaken. My memory of Marvel comic books is shaky at best, and it seems like the "official" storyline may be a bit after I stopped reading them. If anyone knows for sure the actual condition of this please correct me, if not this may just be able to be ignored. Nearphotison (talk) 16:39, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Is he realy Imun? Thas is wrong!! Venom is invisbible vor peters spider-sense, because the black symbiote was bandet with his body. venom ist a dark dopplegänger. Carnage is only a Spawhn with human blood and not a real, natural Symbiote.

Yeah, I've never heard of Carnage being able to see from all over his symbiote or that Cletus Kasady had cancer. 75.157.107.206 (talk) 01:24, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

B-class assessment

Done. It is coming along nicely but there are a lot of references requested and the whole article is flagged as needing more.

One side suggestion might be reworking the "Character" section into out-of-universe tone and possibly integrating it into the publication history expanding on the character development side of that - there is some interesting material in there and it could be improved with the thinking of the creator about the character direction/philosophy.

Expand it

Can we at least expand it a little add some pictures of Kassidy from the TV shows or from other storylines. (JoeLoeb (talk) 02:56, 6 April 2009 (UTC))

Clumsy Sentence

"Cletus Kasady has a troubled childhood, killing his grandmother by pushing her down a flight of stairs, and torturing his mother's dog who afterwards tries to kill him and is apparently beaten to the brink of death by his father, who receives no defense from Kasady during his trial."

As someone unfamiliar with the Carnage story arc, this makes no sense. In addition, it's an unweildy and overlong sentence. 203.49.232.252 (talk) 06:06, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

All-Seeing

The article lists one of Carnage's powers as being able to see from any part of his body, and sources this to the second issue of Spider-Man Unlimited. However, the Spider-Man: Unlimited article says that the second issue is not set within the 616 universe and is not canon. Therefore that should either be changed or removed. 75.157.115.154 (talk) 01:29, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

She-Carnage

Has it been mentioned that the upcoming female Carnage a reference to Ultimate Carnage being Gwen Stacy? 75.157.120.15 (talk) 06:24, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Can you provide a source for that? Apologies for semi-hijacking this as well, I would also recommend when the comics come to pass, we split the Fictional Character Biography into two parts, one for Cletus Kasady and one for this new Carnage. ggctuk (2005) (talk) 20:21, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

I second the motion to split the biography, but no, I have not found a relaible third-party statement corroberating that the new Carnage is a referance to Ultimate Carnage. It was an observation (which I know are discouraged on Wikipedia) I made because the Ultimate Carnage, who predates the new 616 version, also had a female host. Also, should it be mentioned that the new Carnage will go up against Anti-Venom? That was in the same article where She-Carnage was brought up. 207.216.206.244 (talk) 09:14, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
