3. Everyone Is A Target

While Carnage’s crusade may be some back-breaking labour, his spine-tingling method of codex extraction is going to bring him into conflict with some of Marvel’s heavy hitters. Already throughout the lead up to Absolute Carnage, we’ve seen several candidates for Kasady’s new chiropractic techniques, such as Venom, Spider-Man and Lee Price, but further complicating Carnage’s plans are just the sheer volume of people he’ll have to kill.

Not only is he going to have to take on the Avengers, the X-men, the Fantastic Four, Deadpool and Captain Marvel, he’ll also have to hunt down several villains such as the Life Foundation Symbiotes, the Wizard, and Norman Osborn himself if he wants those tasty codexes.

It might seem that the deck is stacked against Carnage in his quest when you take a look at his opposition, but with the ease he takes down Lee Price and John Jameson shows that he is not a man to be trifled with.

Adding in his new cult buddies and his ability to possess people and change them into mindless drones, as well as making sleeper agents, he has a full-on army at his back this time, the stage is set for a massacre not seen since Maximum Carnage.
