History

Venom

When talking to Eddie Brock, Cletus tells to him, "When I get out, and I will...there's going to be carnage."

Venom: Let There Be Carnage

During a visit from Eddie Brock, a dejected Cletus Kasady invited Eddie to meet him one last time to guilt-trip him but instead taunted him. His provoking, however, angered Venom and he assaulted him. Cletus took the opportunity to bite Eddie, only to be surprised when he accidentally ate a piece of the symbiote.

Come execution by lethal injection, Cletus' sample awoke as a sentient new symbiote whom he named Carnage. The two escaped and killed/ate numerous people on the way out. Carnage agreed to help Cletus free Shriek, in exchange for killing its parent, Venom. After killing many people, including Dr. Pazzo, the two freed Shriek from her prison and killed the authorities who tried to stop their escape. Shriek used her power during the escape, Carnage threatened to eat her face if she did it again, since symbiotes were vulnerable to high sounds to which Cletus warned her about for her safety. The three decide to make a “red wedding” for Cletus and Shriek. After kidnapping "witnesses" for the wedding, they planned on killing Venom, Eddie, and the cop who arrested Shriek.

Venom attacked, resulting in Carnage and Cletus fighting them. During the fight, Carnage knocked Shriek around to Cletus's protests and killed the priest to get more power. Eventually, Carnage grew tired of Shriek's presence and tried to strangle her to death, which caused Cletus to panic and try to prevent Carnage from doing so. Carnage tried to force Venom and Eddie to watch Anne die but she was successfully rescued by the heroes. As the fight with Venom reached the bell tower, a still-alive Shriek fell to her death below as her scream dislodged the bell and symbiotes, causing Eddie and Cletus to fall. While Venom saves Eddie, Cletus hits the ground and is seriously injured. Before Carnage could merge with Cletus again, Venom grabs the offspring with the intention of eating it. Despite trying to put up a fight, Venom was able to wolf it down, saying "he did not taste good."

Personalty

Much like Riot, Carnage represents the worst side of the Symbiotes - an intensely sadistic and feral psychopath who seems to enjoy watching innocent people suffer, much like his host Cletus Kasady, for hardly any reason at all, as shown when it crashed a driving truck over a bridge simply for fun.

Carnage seems to have a twisted relationship with his host as Carnage acts friendly with Cletus to suit his own goals but can at times be controlling over him. They soon proved to not be a perfect match as the symbiote had no problem in attempting to kill Cletus' girlfriend, Shriek, though Cletus was against it, Carnage still forced him to stay bonded.

Immediately after the symbiote is born, Carnage wreaked havoc on a prison during its escape, destroyed pillars, and killed many guards. In one moment, a guard pleaded to Carnage, which confused it, until it decided to violently murder him when he said he had a family, which showed that he hated the word 'family.' Carnage also has a deep hatred for its father, Venom, wanting to kill it so that he could be the only symbiote on the planet and thus unstoppable. He also uses his allies whenever he thinks it will benefit him and then tries to kill them when they become useless or is agitated by them.

Trivia

• Unlike his comic version, Carnage wants nothing more but to team up with venom but later was rejected, while carnage has a sadistic sense of humor, and he appears to be shorter but, in this film, he is only taller whenever he eats someone.
  • He much like the Orignal Venom from Spiderman 3 who also lack's his true comic form. venom was smaller while carnage is bigger. which is a reference from Guardians of the Galaxy Drive my Carnage, when Thanos takes the carnage symbiote.
• When Cletus smashed the Spider before he's getting ready to be executed is a reference for why Carnage is also Spiderman primary rouge, while the actor Woody Harrelson, wishes that his character would fight Spiderman.
• In Spiderman 3 many fans believed the Symbiote in conners lab is Carnage since he's known as the spawn of Venom.
