Supervillain Origins: Carnage


he’s psychotic and far stronger than
spider-man and venom combined welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
exploring the comic-book origins of
carnage and his host Cletus Kasady
Cassidy is gone there is only as with
most comic book characters there are
often reimagining and different versions
to a character’s past we have chosen to
primarily follow the storyline that
unfolded in 1991’s the amazing
spider-man number 344 and was expanded
upon in issues 360 for 363 the spawn of
the alien symbiote known as venom
carnage was forged from having had
retained the genetic information of
spider-man and the criminal Eddie Brock
however its extra power came from its
choice of host a psychotic serial killer
and Cletus Kasady having had emerged
from a troubled childhood Cassady was
once an orphan that tortured the family
dog and killed his grandmother by
pushing her down a flight of stairs sent
to a home for boys he burned the
institution down after killing both the
disciplinarian administrator and a girl
who refused to date him diagnosed as a
homicidal maniac cassie was given 11
consecutive terms at Rikers prison
eventually he ended up in a cell with
Eddie Brock the host of venom a
supervillain who was defeated by
spider-man sometime later Brock’s
symbiote launched a jailbreak to free
its human hosts pregnant the asexual
alien entity gave birth to a red
offspring during the rescue requiring a
host the newborn symbiote bonded with
Cassidy through a cut allowing it to
enter his bloodstream we’re gonna refuel
his carnage through
Comedy J I like the sound of match this
instantly granted the killer
incalculable superpowers and the
strength to escape the penitentiary with
his newfound freedom and superpowers
Cassidy began a Manhattan wide killing
spree these murders included choosing
targets at random such as selecting
victims from the telephone book it would
mark each vicious act by writing carnage
on the walls with his own blood which
became the name of his new identity
confronted by spider-man carnage easily
defeated the web slinging hero due to
possessing far superior speed agility
and reflexes he even showcased the
ability to web crawl regenerate and
shape-shift this not only enabled
Cassidy to morph the symbiote into
clothing but change his hands into
bladed weaponry and form tentacle like
appendages to restrain his victims
frightening and seemingly invincible
spider-man formed a desperate truce with
venom who he had reluctantly agreed to
free from his island prison together
they took on the serial killer finally
defeating him through the use of a sonic
based attack formed by the stage
equipment of a nearby rock concert
despite the symbiote having appeared
dead and Cassidy in prison at the
Ravenloft asylum the murderer soon
escaped this was made possible by the
alien life-form having survived in his
bloodstream
a psychotic superhuman killer who sees
bloodshed as the ultimate pleasure
carnage remains one of spider-man’s
deadliest foes and a popular villain
within the series ready for some
father-son quality time between the two
of us there will be enough left of
spider-man to fit in a matchbox but will
dry ones win
