==Summary==
Following a deeply troubling childhood which culminated in him burning down an orphanage, Cletus Kasady became a sociopathic serial killer and was eventually convicted for eleven consecutive life sentences. Incarcerated at Ryker's Island Prison, Cletus eventually became cellmates with Eddie Brock, who had been separated from the Venom symbiote. When the alien returned to rescued Eddie, it left behind its asexually-produced offspring. The newborn symbiote bonded to Cletus and amalgmated with his blood, transforming him into the monstrous Carnage.
Over the years, Carnage became a recurring enemy to Spider-Man, Deadpool, the Avengers, and most notably Venom. Notoriously, Carnage once led a group of other killers and monsters on a rampage across Manhattan. Seemingly killed by the Sentry, Carnage eventually returned more powerful than ever and began harboring megalomaniacal ambitions of conquest and godhood.

*Symbiote: Kasady has an alien being called a Klyntar attached to his bloodstream, offering him a wide range of capabilities. With it he can do all of the things listed below:
**Transformation: One of Carnage's most well-known abilities is to shapeshift. He can morph the symbiote to resemble clothing, create tendrils from his body, and turn his appendages into various weapons: swords, axes, etc.
**Projectiles: Carnage either rips off an appendage he's turned into a weapon and throws it or shoots out sharp, diamond-shaped masses of symbiote from his body to slash and cut foes. However, they disintegrate after a minute.
**Possession/Mind Manipulation: Carnage can mentally torture someone by sticking part of the symbiote into someone and shove his maniacal thoughts into their mind, driving them to insanity. He can also take control of one's body with the symbiote. This can be done to multiple people at once.
Intelligence: Average (Carnage is a completely psychotic killer, being a diagnosed sociopath and murdering thousands or more without any rhyme or reason. In spite of this, Carnage is a very formidable combatant, outmatching Spider-Man in most of their encounters through a variety of applications of his Symbiote's amorphous structure. His murderous nature has also made him very creative, having learned nine million ways to kill an individual and allowing him to alter the Symbiote's biological structure in numerous ways (Most commonly morphing his arm into an axe))
Weaknesses: Despite being more resistant to heat than the rest of his Symbiote family, the resistance has a limit and he is still weak to significant heat due to being a Symbiote. He is also completely insane and psychotic. | Electricity
