![]() Woody Harrelson had a small role as Cletus Kasady in the movie, setting up his transformation into Carnage for the sequel, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, where he will co-star with Tom Hardy. ![]() However, Riz Ahmed's character Carlton Drake wound up being the main baddie - as a different symbiote villain called Riot - in the film. At one point that movie was even reportedly titled Venom Carnage. The video game adaptation of 2014's Amazing Spider-Man 2 movie even offered a glimpse of what Carnage might have looked like in Sony's rebooted Spider-Man universe (of the time).įor years the villain was rumored to be the main antagonist in Sony's Venom solo movie. Carnage has also appeared in everything from LEGO Marvel Super Heroes to Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions to Marvel Puzzle Quest. He was a major boss character in 1994's Spider-Man and Venom: Maximum Carnage and its sequel, Spider-Man and Venom: Separation Anxiety, both of which are inspired by the comic book storylines of the same name. That series continued the comic-book trend of having the Carnage symbiote bond with other Marvel characters, resulting in mash-ups like Carnage-Ock and Carnage-Hulk.Ĭarnage has also enjoyed a healthy video game career dating back to the 1992 Game Boy title The Amazing Spider-Man 2. He did play a recurring role in Marvel's next Spider-Man cartoon, Ultimate Spider-Man (voiced by both Dee Bradley Baker and Fred Tatasciore). Carnage as seen in Ultimate Spider-ManĬarnage missed out on appearing in 2008's Spectacular Spider-Man, though he was slated to show up if the series had lasted longer than two seasons. ![]() He also played a big role in the spinoff series Spider-Man Unlimited (voiced this time by Michael Donovan). Carnage first appeared in animated form in 1994's Spider-Man: The Animated Series (voiced by Scott Cleverdon) and served as a major antagonist in several episodes. Carnage: Beyond the ComicsĬarnage has had plenty of room to shine on the small screen. He's no longer just Spider-Man and Venom's problem anymore. That alliance didn't last, but Carnage got another boost in 2019's Absolute Carnage, which shows the villain trying to murder everyone on Earth who's ever bonded with a symbiote. There, the Carnage symbiote bonded with Norman Osborn to form a new villain called the Red Goblin. Carnage was the first (and by far the most popular) of several new symbiote villains introduced in the early '90s, with Cletus Kasady making his first appearance as Carnage in 1992's Amazing Spider-Man #360 (created by writer David Michelinie and artists Erik Larsen and Mark Bagley) and quickly became a recurring presence in the franchise.Ĭarnage underwent his most significant overhaul in "Go Down Swinging," the final chapter in writer Dan Slott's decade-long Amazing Spider-Man run. Given the breakout popularity of Venom after 1988's Amazing Spider-Man #300, it was only a matter of time before Marvel further exploited the concept. And in Venom 2, director Andy Serkis says Carnage's powers are somewhat different, including the ability to turn into mist! Carnage: Origin and Background He's also extremely vulnerable to the touch of Anti-Venom, a hero whose entire purpose is to hunt down and destroy symbiote. He's not as susceptible to sonic weapons as Venom, but he is even weaker than Venom is when faced with fire. The symbiote also grants Kasady a Wolverine-like healing factor, allowing him to survive what seemed like certain death on multiple occasions.įortunately, Carnage does have weaknesses. He can reshape his symbiote tendrils into various deadly weapons and even launch them as projectiles. Carnage is powerful enough to fight both Spider-Man and Venom to a standstill. However, because Carnage's symbiote gestated on Earth rather than the planet Klyntar, it's stronger and more unstable. Like Venom, Carnage can block out Spider-Man's Spider-Sense, even while he has access to enhanced senses of his own. His costume is an offshoot of the Venom symbiote, and like Venom, Carnage has access to amped-up versions of Spider-Man's powers, such as boosted strength, agility and speed. ![]() Who Is Stronger - Venom or Carnage? Carnage's Powers and AbilitiesĬarnage is basically a meaner, stronger version of Venom.
