10 Things Everyone Gets Wrong About Carnage

3. Carnage Is Always Evil

When Carnage was asked what his purpose, he said it was to dance "all silly and spine-broken to the universe's death rattle". This mantra shows just how truly psychotic Carnage is.

But when Scarlet Witch accidentally exposed Cletus Kasady to an Inversion spell, she removed all his evil impulses. For the first time in his life, Carnage wanted to be a hero. In his own words, "My skull is bombarded by all kinds of confusing and gross feelings and stupid emotions. It makes me want to do good."

Since he had never rescued someone in his entire life, Carnage sucked at playing hero. When he saw passer-bys being attacked by criminals, he shouted, "Halt, evil doer!" and "Fear not, fair maiden". Because his name sounds terrifying, he decided to go by the new moniker "Your Friendly Neighbourhood, Carnage Man". (It didn't catch on.)

His heart may have been in the right place, but Carnage never got the hang of being a hero. When he saw criminals trying to rob a bank, he stopped them... by burning the building down. I mean... you can't rob a bank if it's incinerated, right?
