Powers: The symbiote of which Cletus Kasady is a host to provides him with various superhuman powers as a result of bonding with the symbiote. Most of Carnage’s powers are similar to those possessed by Spider-Man and Venom, though a few are more developed, as Venom, explained, the Carnage symbiote was born with abilities even more singular than those of its progenitor as a result of it being gestated and it’s incubations in an alien environment to it such as the Earth environment as well as the maniacal will and insane worldview that Cletus Kasady has had from the age of 8 years old onward. Spider-Man has always needed help in fighting Carnage, Fighting Spider-Man and Venom at the same time. Kasady possesses various superhuman attributes as a result of bonding with the Carnage symbiote. Most of his powers are similar to those possessed by Spider-Man and Venom, however, some of his powers are unique only to himself. For example, Carnage can see out of every bit of his symbiote. If the Venom symbiote was linked to Brock in the nervous system, the merger of Cletus and his symbiote was effected down to a cellular level, linking human blood cells and symbiote cells. With the symbiote bonded to his bloodstream and it becoming a part of him, not only can the symbiote not be separated from Kasady by traditional means, but it’s been shown that the Carnage’s symbiote can also hide in Cletus Kasady’s bloodstream and that it even caused a mutation in Cletus Kasady’s blood so that when the symbiote was seemingly destroyed, Cletus Kasady can "regenerate" his symbiote costume from scratch by simply bleeding. One drop of blood would be all it takes to strengthen the alien. However, that diminished later on as the symbiote could be separated from its host and leave him powerless.
When Kasady is a host to the symbiote, Carnage possesses a great amount of physical superhuman strength as originally he was strong enough to physical lift about 50 tons of weight as he has demonstrated being stronger than both Spider-Man and Venom combined. As of right now, Carnage can physical lift about 80 tons of weight. Carnage’s superhumanly strong legs allow him to run and move at speeds that are greater and superior to that of the natural physical limits of even the finest human athlete and Carnage has stated that he is more than ten times faster than normal humans. Carnage’s reflexes, agility, balance, reaction time, and bodily coordination are all enhanced to a level that is far beyond and far superior to that of the natural physical limits of even the finest human athlete and are even superior to Spider-Man’s making him sufficient enough to dodge gunfire.
Carnage can fight, run, and perform other physical activities that will allow him to physically exert himself at peak capacity for about 24 hours on end before the build up of fatigue toxins in his bloodstream begins to impair him and affect his overall capabilities. Carnage can withstand high caliber bullets, falls from a great height of over several stories, enough volts to fry a normal human in seconds and powerful energy attacks while sustaining little to no pain or physical injury as well as also withstanding powerful impact forces and blunt force trauma from direct physical blows from superhumans as strong as Spider-Man, Venom, or Toxin with far less physical injury than that of what would instantly kill normal humans or what lower level superhumans would receive.
Carnage is able to rapidly regenerate and heal damaged bodily tissues with much greater speed and efficiency than that of what normal humans are capable of allowing him to regenerate and heal from large amounts of damaged or even destroyed bodily tissue that would be fatal to normal humans within a matter of moments. Carnage’s symbiote has even shown the ability to repair brain damage, as it had done for both the Wizard and Cletus Kasady himself. However, it isn't known, although or not, if Carnage can fully regenerate severed limbs or missing internal organs although he has appeared to have regrown the lower half of his body and while in the Microverse, Carnage was capable of reattaching his severed head after being decapitated by Venom. However, should Cletus Kasady lose his limbs and not be able to heal them, the symbiote can also replace them by forming legs of its own as long as Cletus Kasady has his symbiote. Carnage’s regenerative healing factor extends to his immune system as well rendering him to be immune to the effects of all known Earthly diseases, infections, and illnesses that even current human medical care cannot care such as cancer as long as Kasady remains bonded with the symbiote.
Like with all symbiotes, Carnage possesses limited shape-shifting abilities which Kasady has full control over the size, shape, color (usually red and black), texture, and hardness of his symbiote (and any part thereof) and can use it in a verity of ways including:
Like Venom, the symbiote possesses limited shape-shifting abilities in the sense that it is capable of immediately mimicking the appearance and texture of any form of normal clothing, or garment that Kasady wishes (which he has done on rare occasion), as well as camouflaging with its surrounding environment rendering himself almost invisible.
Carnage can generate tentacle-like appendages from various parts of his body and warp his appendages into different arms, legs, and even wings, which he often uses either in combat situations or to restrain someone and can also use the same substance comprising the symbiote in the form of constituent red matter or goo, and uses it in this method for lethal force against criminals. Carnage can send a part of the symbiote and direct its movements into a victim's body, smothering them from the inside. It can also convert ingested organic materials such as flesh and blood into additional biomass. While in the small American town of Doverton, Colorado, Kasady was able to vastly increase the symbiote’s size and mass by consuming all the meat of over four thousand head of cattle and the staff in the local meat packing factory making symbiote copies.
Carnage can morph sections of his body, such as his hands or feet, into bladed weaponry and blunt instruments such as spikes, blades, shields, swords, giant talons, hammers or claws, or axes from his own mass and uses them to stab or shred any innocent person he sees. This is shown on several occasions when Carnage mutates his fingers and arms into what look like large swords. Unlike Venom, Carnage can also detach parts of his symbiote at enemies in the form of solid weapons such as darts, spears, knives, axes, etc., if he chooses to. For example, Carnage has often forms spikes that he expels from his body. Whatever the weaponry, however, they will disintegrate into dust after being separated from his body after a period of about 30 seconds after leaving Carnage‘s body. Carnage has also shown being able to infect others, taking over their body against their will. After consuming all the meat of over four thousand head of cattle and the staff in the local meat packing factory in a small American town. Carnage almost took over a small town including Captain America, the Thing, Wolverine, and Hawkeye all becoming infected with the bloodthirsty symbiote copies after increasing its size, and all being used as puppets against Spider-Man.
The symbiote is also able to rapidly adapt itself and its host to new environments. Carnage is capable of surviving in harmful areas for long periods of time such as being underwater or in toxic gases, by having the symbiote filter breathable air for Kasady and when Kasady was taken into space by Sentry, the symbiote was able to save his life by growing small sacks around his mouth that converted carbon dioxide into oxygen, allowing Kasady to stay alive long enough for him to be recovered.
Although it's widely known that the Symbiote can stretch and deform itself, recently it was able to perform this ability during bonded with a human host allowing Carnage to be able to stretch his limbs and once sent his symbiote costume through a telephone line by reducing it to a cellular level. After consuming all the meat of over four thousand head of cattle and the staff in the local meat packing factory in a small town. Carnage was able to infect the town by making the symbiote find its way through the sinks and drains.
Like with all symbiotes, Carnage possesses certain telepathic abilities as it enables him to plant thoughts into a person's head using a symbiote tendril. In Carnage: Mind Bomb, a psychiatric specialist named Matthew Kurtz attempted to treat Carnage. Thinking he has Kasady under control, Kurtz ends up having a symbiote tendril drilled in his head. Kasady then proceeds to pump mental images into Kurtz's mind to show him how he sees the world. As a result: Matthew Kurtz is driven mad and runs amok only to be gunned down by Ravenscroft guards.
Symbiotes have a genetic memory, allowing them to exploit their parents' knowledge through ancestral recall. Upon seeing the Silver Surfer, Carnage remembered and felt the trauma of Galactus devouring a word populated by symbiotes.
The Carnage symbiote is capable of psychically detecting and tracking its offspring, however, with the effort, this ability can be blocked So that Venom can’t track him.
Due to being Venom’s son, Carnage possesses other powers that are common with Spider-Man
Much like Spider-Man and Venom, Carnage has the ability to cling to virtually any surface by controlling the flux of inter-atomic attraction between molecular boundary layers. Carnage can rapidly crawl, walk, or run across even slickened surfaces.
Carnage can shoot strands of the alien’s substance in the form of webbing. Carnage can project this powerful, organic web-like substance similar to the webbing Spider-Man has which at high pressure can reach up to a distance of over 70 feet (21.336 meters) and the strands possess the tensile strength of over 125 pounds per square millimeter of cross section. Carnage typically uses this webbing to swing from building to building or as a means of immobilizing someone. The webbing is exceptionally strong, much more so for even the finest normal human athlete to break.
Carnage also possesses an extrasensory ability similar to Spider-Man’s spider-sense. This response is not as complicated as Spider-Man’s inherent sense since the alien costume can detect danger from every direction or angle and conduct Kasady in plenty of time for incoming threats. It's a lot more efficient than Spider-Man’s spider-sense because it takes less time to sense the danger, and Kasady’s reflexes are faster than Spider-Man’s because they are enhanced by the alien costume for instance Carnage can dodge a gunshot or a barrage of bullets.
Due to the Carnage symbiote being a child of the Venom symbiote which Spider-Man was its first host, Carnage can't be detected by Spider-Man's sixth sense, his Spider-Sense. As such, Carnage is capable of attacking Spider-Man without alerting him, making Carnage a deadly foe.
In some interpretations, the Carnage symbiote is vampiric, feeding on and thus endangering his victims by mere touch. If Venom is a symbiote with a limited mass, Carnage on the contrary, constantly forms new molecules and so has inexhaustible reserves it finds in its victims, like a vampire, feeding on them with a mere touch.
Cletus Kasady is a Schizophrenic enabling him to activate extra-terrestrial episodes of paranoia and delusion to transform into the demonic alien symbiote of Carnage, converting negative emotions into biomass. It would also seem that when Carnage consumes or eats other symbiotes as he did in Planet of the Symbiotes storyline, Carnage would grow in size, growing gigantic as he devoured so many symbiotes, that his height grew up to 100 feet.
The symbiote has also shown the ability to call back parts of itself back to the main symbiote, adding it to the parts that already make up the symbiote. It can also send commands that cannot be resisted to parts of itself that are in technology, used to break the bones of the Iron Rangers when they challenged Carnage while wearing symbiote enhanced technological exo-suits. Using these last two abilities, Carnage absorbed the five Iron Rangers, and consequently grew to an enormous size and assumed the color blue.
Following being experimented on by Hall Industries, the symbiote developed the ability to create duplicates of itself that could be controlled by its main body.
Though he has had no formal training, the natural abilities granted to Kasady by the symbiote along with Carnage's homicidal urges make him an erratic and dangerous opponent who’s highly erratic and unpredictable. Even without the symbiote, Kasady is capable of killing people without hesitation.
Bio: When the Venom symbiote returned to bond with an imprisoned Eddie Brock again, it unwittingly left behind the symbiote's offspring (The symbiotes reproduce asexually, once per generation. The children are then of no consequence to the parent. Thus, the Venom symbiote felt no need to inform Brock of the existence of the new symbiote). This Venom offspring got into a cut on Brock's cellmate Cletus Kasady, an insane serial killer, thus bonding with his blood and transforming him into Carnage (also causing his symbiote to turn red). He escaped prison and began a series of murders, and at the scene of each crime, he wrote "Carnage Rules" on the walls with his own blood.
Extra: Carnage and Cletus were always like-minded; they both share a love of killing. Cletus Kasady is in complete control of the symbiote, unlike Eddie Brock who still puts up some fights with his own alien. Unlike Venom, Carnage refers to himself as "I" instead of "we" because Kasady and Carnage have become one being literally to the point that the symbiote lives in his blood. Perhaps due in part to his insanity, Carnage's strength and abilities far exceed those of his predecessors Venom and Spider-Man, and grows with his blood-lust..
