The character was originally meant to be named "Chaos", and then "Ravage", before being settled as "Carnage".Īfter Kasady was lobotomized, he was broken out of prison by the Wizard and Klaw, who intend to recruit him into the Frightful Four and turn him into their own version of Venom. Carnage was in part created due to Venom's immense popularity with fans. The symbiote was perceived to be a darker version of Venom, and was created due to the writers not wanting a replacement for Eddie Brock as Venom. The Carnage symbiote was derived by writer David Michelinie while Mark Bagley designed the character.

Like Venom, Carnage has had multiple hosts over the years, but their most infamous one remains their first, serial killer Cletus Kasady, whose sadistic personality perfectly matches that of the symbiote.

Originating as an offspring of Venom, Carnage is much more powerful than their parent symbiote because of the symbiotes' biology, and is in many ways a darker version of him. The character first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #361 (Apr 1992), and was created by writer David Michelinie and artist Mark Bagley, although the first published artwork of Carnage was penciled by Chris Marrinan.Ĭarnage belongs to a race of amorphous extraterrestrial parasites known as Symbiotes, which form a symbiotic bond with their hosts and give them super-human abilities.
