Character Name: Cletus Kasady
Codename: Carnage
Alignment: Evil
Powers: The alien symbiote endows Cletus Kasady with enhanced physical strength greater than that of Spider-Man and Venom combined and shape-shifting abilities; project a web-like substance from any part of his body including form a variety of weapons; and plant thoughts into a person's head using a symbiote tendril. Like Venom, the symbiote is vulnerable to intense sounds and heat, and is undetectable to Spider-Man's spider-sense. Unlike Venom, Carnage can launch parts of his symbiote at enemies in the form of weapons such spears, knives, axes, etc. Venom's costume cannot replenish itself and is a definite mass while Carnage is constantly forming new molecules. Carnage's symbiote is vampiric, feeding on and thus endangering his victims by mere touch, and also has the power to "see" from any part of itself and relay the visual information to Kasady.
Bio: 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 death by his father, who receives no defense from Kasady during his trial. As an orphan, Kasady is sent to the St. Estes Home for Boys, where his antisocial behavior makes him the target of abuse from both the other orphans and the staff. Kasady vindicates himself by murdering the disciplinarian administrator and burning down the orphanage.
Kasady becomes a serial killer. He is captured and sent to Ryker's Island prison where he shares a cell with Eddie Brock at Ryker's Island prison, who had lost his alien symbiote. Brock's symbiote soon returns and bonds with him again, and unwittingly leaves behind the symbiote's offspring (The symbiotes reproduce asexually, once per generation. The children are then of no consequence to the parent. Thusly, the Venom symbiote felt no need to inform Brock of the existence of the new symbiote.) which gets into a cut and bonds with Kasady's bloodstream, transforming him into Carnage. He escapes prison, and begins a series of murders, and at the scene of each crime, writes "Carnage Rules" on the walls with his own blood. He is found by Spider-Man, though the hero proves to be no match for Carnage's powers. In desperation, Spider-Man makes a truce with Venom to fight Carnage. Carnage is defeated with sonic weaponry, but the symbiote lives on by merging with Kasady's bloodstream.
Carnage goes on to recruit an army of psychotic supervillains including Shriek, Demogoblin, Carrion, and Doppelganger to overtake New York City. They are driven back by Spider-Man, Venom, and number of other superheroes.
Aside from Cletus Kasady, the Carnage symbiote bonds with Ben Reilly and later the Silver Surfer.
Venom eventually re-absorbs the Carnage symbiote into his own body "for good." Without the symbiote, Kasady retains the Carnage persona by costuming himself in red paint and continuing his killing sprees, but does so as a normal human, only for Spider-Man to easily defeat him in a fight. Kasady finds a replica of the Carnage symbiote in the Negative Zone.
The Carnage symbiote later spawns a "child" symbiote, named Toxin.
Carnage is one of several supervillains trying to escape from The Raft. Sentry finishes him off, flying Carnage outside the Earth's atmosphere and ripping him apart. According to Iron Man's computer, Kasady may not have been inside the symbiote when the Sentry ripped it apart.
