Cletus Kasady was never the most stable of individuals. Before he embarked on his career as a serial killer, he'd already murdered his grandma and attempted the same on his own mother, so when the symbiote that would grow to become Carnage attached itself to him, well, shizzle was going to go down.

And no-where did it go down quite as spectacularly as it did during Maximum Carnage.

Having escaped from prison, again (seriously, if you ever get arrested, do it in New York as those places are super easy to escape from), Carnage, along with Shriek, Doppelganger, Demogoblin, and Carrion went on a killing spree Jeffrey Dahmer would've been proud of.

Obviously, it wasn't long before all this bloodletting grabbed the attention of Spider-Man, but he isn't the only one noticing the bodies piling up.
