The season version of the Carnage symbiote was created by Michael Morbius. It is the main antagonist of The Symbiote Saga 3-parter.

Physical Appearance[]

Carnage has big white eyes and a long tongue. Carnage's body is mostly red, with black lines around its body. It is similar to the Venom symbiote except for his hulking form and his body is much more red. In his first incarnation, he had normal colored teeth, however in his "rebirth", Carnage's teeth were black.

Carnage's new form

The Carnage symbiote was recreated by Michael Morbius under Crossbones' orders. After being injected with a serum with vampire bat DNA in it by Doctor Octopus, Morbius retaliates by throwing the symbiote on Doc Ock, turning into Carnage-Ock. Spider-Man and Flash Thompson were able to use a sound device on the symbiote which not only removed it from Doctor Octopus, but also neutralized the nanites that changed Doctor Octopus' appearance. The Carnage symbiote then forms itself to its familiar form as it plans to cause chaos. He does this by causing Spider-Man and Agent Venom to trick it into exploding so that the civilians below can become infected by the fragments of the Carnage symbiote.

Carnage fragments possess every civilian in Manhattan including J. Jonah Jameson, the Hulk and Shriek. Spider-Man had to work with Captain America, Agent Venom, Iron Fist, and Cloak and Dagger to fight them even when some Carnage-possessed civilians awaken Harry Osborn from his coma enough to be Anti-Venom again. Upon getting control of the Anti-Venom, Harry sacrifices its powers to undo Carnage's control on the civilians.

The Carnage remains reassemble into one giant Carnage as it envelopes Midtown High. While fighting passed the Mini-Carnages, Spider-Man, Agent Venom, and Harry Osborn in the American Son armor find that Mary Jane Watson has been transformed into the Carnage Queen as the mutated Morbius uses a mind-control device on her head. Morbius and Crossbones later further their plans to use the deactivated missiles confiscated by S.H.I.E.L.D. below Midtown High to send Carnage drones to every city in the world. Upon Spider-Man breaking the mind-control device, the Carnage Queen fends off Morbius and Crossbones as Spider-Man, Agent Venom, and Patrioteer reveal their identities to Mary Jane to break her free from the Carnage symbiote. What they don't know is that some residue of Carnage is still in Mary Jane.

 Trivia[]

  • In the comics, Carnage's first/original host was Cletus Kasady.
  • The Symbiote Saga involving Carnage as the main antagonist was based on the Maximum Carnage storyline, with a bit of the Spider-Island storyline, such as the Anti-Venom symbiote's sacrifice on curing the infected
  • Carnage has stated to not need a host and can take on a humanoid shape without the need of one.
    • The Ultimate comics version of Carnage also had no host, and was a vampiric symbiote that feeds on the life force of humans to sustain itself. However, the Carnage symbiote did have a host when it returned, the host was the Ultimate version of Gwen Stacy's clone. While in this series, Mary Jane is the host for Carnage.
  • In Season 4, Carnage's base form without a host is based on the classic Cletus Kasady version of the character.
