10 Worst Things Carnage Has Ever Done

Who hasn't wanted to mind-control a whole town?

As the evil symbiote that was created to make Venom appear comparatively wholesome, Carnage has done more than his fair share of terrible things in his free time.

As the poster boy for Marvel's most depraved and unhinged villains, any time the alien-possessed serial killer isn't breaking as many laws and moral codes as possible almost seems like time wasted, because the whole purpose of the character is to do things that would make any other villain look too bad.

If he's not torturing whole restaurants and cities, he's trying to kill those near and dear to him - which generally involves more attempts at killing family members than you'd get in roughly a season of Game of Thrones. In a sense, this is the highlight of Carnage as a character, because you know that any time he appears in a comic that some unmistakably awful stuff is about to go down.

While this continual violence does make the symbiote and his host kind of predictable, you don't come to a Carnage comic expecting a murder mystery - you come expecting just the murder, and you're never disappointed.

10. Killing Their Grandmother - Carnage #12 (2016)

After almost being strangled by his umbilical cord in the womb, Cletus Kasady was revived by the evil lord of symbiotes, Knull. While this information doesn't initially seem important in regards to him killing his grandmother, it means the villain was custom-built by this god to receive the Carnage symbiote, which means he was born into the world with a lust for blood that would prove completely insatiable.

And Cletus would begin to satiate this thirsty for violence with his own family, starting with their pet dog, before moving onto more human targets - namely, his own grandmother.

After hearing one too many insults from the old woman, Cletus decides to take a short walk with his gran down a long flight of stairs, killing her in his first gruesome murder.

This event would become public knowledge after Jubulile got an accidental look into the villain's memories, which uncomfortably launched her right into Kasady's childhood secrets, and made this awful deed significantly more public.

I like my comics like I like my coffee - in huge, unquestionably unhealthy doses.
