10 Worst Things Carnage Has Done

3. Assimilated An Entire Town - Carnage USA

One of the most ambitious of Carnage's many schemes still remains Carnage USA. In it, Carnage sets about using his symbiote powers to assimilate an entire town in the American heartland into a single hivemind controlled by him.

This act makes the first issue of this maxi-series the best one, as the comic shows the slow, horrifying process by which Carnage takes over the entire town. It happens slowly at first, then all at once, as the Carnage symbiote bursts out of every water source in town, grabbing onto everyone they can find and turning them into mini carnages.

When S.H.I.E.L.D gets wind of this, and sends a squad of superheroes to liberate the town, Carnage takes over all of them except Spider-Man within minutes.

Carnage rules the town like a God, turning the entire town into his puppets and worshippers. Rural America is terrifying enough these days, Marvel, you don't need to help with the addition of making them into actual red goop zombies.
