Locked in Ravencroft Institute , Carnage is visited by a high-ranking government psychiatrist with questionable methods who dives into Cletus Kasady's history. He fails to account for the bond between Cletus and the symbiote, and Carnage manages to drill portions of his symbiote into the doctor's brain, infecting him, and turning him into a raving cannibalistic madman. It's not always the huge mass extinction events that showcase the worst things Carnage has done. A good example would be in the opening pages of Deadpool vs Carnage by Cullen Bunn and Salva Espin, following a news report that Cletus Kasady is on the loose.
A local sheriff in a diner remarks how much he'd like to find Carnage, only to discover Cletus is seated beside him. What follows is an escalating display of violence and murder in the small town diner, starting with the Sherriff and quickly moving to a few men who tried to intervene.
Finally, as Carnage blocks all the exits following his attack, he finishes the rest of the diners off, with much of the violence thankfully occurring off-panel. Whereas "Maximum Carnage" was a grand story that brought Carnage's destructive ways to the streets of Manhattan, the similarly named "Minimum Carnage" was a smaller scale crossover between Agent Venom and the second Scarlet Spider , and brought the horrors of Carnage to the Microverse.
There he was manipulated into a battle for control of the Microverse. While in the Microverse, Carnage's symbiote was replicated and created an army of miniature Carnages that then escaped into the Macroverse by way of Houston, Texas.
There the mini Carnages began laying waste to civilians before forming a giant Carnage to battle Agent Venom and Scarlet Spider, who managed to ultimately stop the bloodshed. The 90s saw the release of what has become the most popular Carnage story ever, " Maximum Carnage.
The part maxi-series wound through the monthly Spider-Man titles and featured a large number of heroic guest stars. This was because Carnage, joined by a deadly "family" of villains, had gone on a murderous spree across the streets of Manhattan, slaughtering hundreds if not thousands of people.
To make matters worse, Carnage aided by the empathic powers of Shriek turned New York citizens into a violent murderous mob, almost bringing the city down to Carnage's unique brand of chaos. While Carnage carelessly put a baby's life in danger in an earlier horrible act, that was in the early stages of his bond with the Carnage symbiote.
Over the years their bond deepened and grew dark, and Carnage's atrocities made previous acts of violence pale in comparison. In 's Carnage U. He accomplished this by eating a huge herd of cattle to bulk up his symbiote, and then flooded the drains of a small town, taking over the residents through torture, manipulation, and symbiotic control. He even managed to take control of the Avengers for a time, though they eventually won the day.
Carnage's devastation to the town and its residents was a new level of evil for the villain. Symbiotes produce offspring asexually as fans first learned when the Venom symbiote unknowingly spawned the symbiote that would join with Kasady to become Carnage.
The Carnage symbiote itself has also produced a few offspring over the years, all of whom Carnage has attempted to kill at one point or another for fear of them being a more powerful symbiote than he has become. The first offspring became known as Toxin and bonded with a number of hosts before joining with Eddie Brock. Toxin was later sacrificed along with two other recent offspring, Raze, and Panacea, to stop a Darkhold-powered Carnage.
He also recently killed the host of another offspring, the technopathic Scorn, though it's unclear whether the symbiote was also killed by Carnage. Reiland combines the known facts of their lives with dreams, associations, and fantasies about them, attempting to fill in the holes where the truth is unknowable.
