For whatever reason, Marvel looked at this morally abhorrent, serial killing, insane psychopath and declared "let's give him his own solo series not once, but three times!"

In the most recent solo series from 2016, Carnage found himself at the center of a conspiracy driven by a bunch of cultists who wanted to use him to resurrect the dark god Chthon. But you know how that song and dance goes by now, so after Carnage is done with them he decides that ya know what, resurrecting this eldritch monster from the dawn of time actually sounds like a fun weekend!

He goes through the necessary steps to bring the god back to life and, when Chthon returns, Carnage kills him, and absorbs some of its godlike powers, making Carnage even more powerful than before.

The fact that Carnage has so little regard for the world and the people in it that he would try this at all is one thing, but the fact that he then succeeds and takes the powers of an eldritch god for himself is quite another.
