Over the years, Carnage has bonded with thousands of people. The Green Goblin, Norman Osborn, found a sample of the symbiote and merged with it to become the Red Goblin. Because Osborn is in his own league of evil, he forced his grandson, Normie, to bond with the alien as well.

After Kasady was lobotomised, the symbiote bonded with a scientist called Karl Malus to become Superior Carnage. Malus fused guns, knives, shurkiens, and grenades to the Klyntar to make him as deadly as possible.

When Kasady's doctor, Carl Unger, tried to study a sample of the alien, it merged with her, forcing her to murder her husband.

When Kasady infected the entire town of Doverton, the Avengers swooped in to try to put a stop to his madness. During the battle, Carnage managed to infect the Thing, Captain America, Hawkeye, and Wolverine with the alien, turning them into his minions. The symbiote eventually spread until they reached an animal preserve, forcing the remaining heroes to battle a Carnage version of a gorilla and a giraffe (which was ridiculous and awesome at the same time).
