10 Things Everyone Gets Wrong About Carnage

10. Modern Carnage Is The Same Symbiote As The First Carnage

Eddie Brock became the supervillain, Venom, after he encountered a black gooey alien known as a Klyntar, or otherwise as a symbiote. After Brock lost his symbiote, he was sent to jail, where he shared a cell with the serial killer, Cletus Kasady.

Eventually, the creature found Brock and bonded with him once more. After Venom left, Kasady noticed the symbiote had left a liquid goo behind. This “goo” was Venom’s offspring and it bonded with Kasady, turning him into Carnage. This may be common knowledge to Marvel fans, but very few people know that Spider-Man destroyed the Carnage symbiote after one of his battles with Kasady.

So, how did he get it back? Well, the alien warlord, Blastaar, launched an invasion of Earth through a series of portals. One of the portals led to a dimension called The Negative Zone, where a dormant Klyntar awaited. As the portals opened, Kasady was naturally drawn to them as he sensed a symbiote lay on the other side. Kasady managed to locate the alien, and bonded with it to become Carnage once more.

Because these circumstances are somewhat convoluted, the idea that this symbiote is not the original Carnage has been dismissed in some stories.
