10 Things Everyone Gets Wrong About Carnage
7. He's Vulnerable To Fire And Sonic Attacks
As has been shown in the films, Venom and Spider-Man 3, the Klyntar are weak against fire and sound-based attacks. In fact, they are so sensitive to fire that Venom has been defeated with the flame from a lighter.
Peter Parker originally got rid of the Venom symbiote by forcing it to listen to the deafening toll of a church bell. When Spider-Man first tangled with Carnage, he knocked out the malevolent alien by blasting him with a sonic wave.
Okay, that sounds pretty easy. If you burn Carnage or ring a bell, he's down for the count. This may have worked in the past, but Carnage's powers have evolved dramatically in recent stories. After having his blood exposed to a dark magic called The Darkhold, Carnage became invulnerable to sonic attacks and fire. (Yes, if you didn't think Carnage was already overpowered, he also has magical powers.)
The only thing that Carnage is vulnerable to is electricity. Ironically, Venom and Spider-Man tried to stun Carnage by electrocuting him in their first encounter but it didn't work. This inconsistency was probably an oversight by the writers.
