Hello everyone!
And welcome back to the MajestiComic channel.
In the past, we have mostly profiled villains that are not really villains: they are more
like villains with heart, who might be bad on the outside, but usually end up doing the
right thing in the end.
Today, though, we are going in a completely different direction.
We are going to be profiling one of the baddest bad guys in comics, who has no redeeming qualities
whatsoever, and no desire to be anything but evil.
In a previous video, we profiled Marvel's Venom, an alien symbiote and one of the most
popular supervillains in the entire comic book universe.
Today, we are profiling what is essentially his son: Carnage.
Carnage first appeared in 1992 in issue number 360 of The Amazing Spider-Man.
He was created by David Michelinie, Erik Larsen, and Mark Bagley, to be a darker, more demented
form of Venom.
Originally, Venom's human host, Eddie Brock, was meant to be killed off, and the Venom
symbiote was meant to go on to bond with other various characters that changed all the time.
The Eddie Brock and Venom combination was so popular with readers, though, that Marvel
decided to keep him around.
This led to some consternation among the writers and artists, who had been expecting to go
in a different direction with the Venom character.
So, David Michelinie decided to go in that direction with a completely different character:
Carnage.
Carnage is an offspring of the Venom symbiote, a liquid-like alien substance which reproduces
by leaving a part of itself behind, as Venom did when he and Eddie Brock escaped a jail
cell in the Amazing Spider-Man comic.
These alien creatures bear no responsibility for their offspring, and have no real connection
to them, so Venom didn't really see the need to tell his host Eddie Brock that there
was another symbiote running around on Earth.
That symbiote then bonded with Eddie Brock's prison cellmate, Cletus Kassady, and one of
the most psychotic characters in comic book history was born.
The name Carnage then became even more feared than the name Venom... but surprisingly, this
was not what his creators originally planned on calling him.
The character was originally called Chaos, then Ravage, but both of these names were
either too similar to other characters in the Marvel universe, or to a character in
the DC Universe.
So, the character came to be called Carnage, which seems to be a more fitting name, based
on the gruesome deeds that he carries out.
Carnage was meant to be an even darker, more psychotic version of Venom.
While Venom does seem to have some sort of moral compass and an understanding of right
and wrong, Carnage has none of this.
He is just pure hatred and chaos and evil, and this is only magnified when he bonds with
Cletus Kassady.
Kassady loves to kill just as much as the symbiote does, and they make a terrifyingly
good match.
Unlike Eddie Brock and Venom, though, Kassady is in complete control of his symbiote.
While Brock often tries to fight off Venom and keep him from taking complete control
of his mind and body, Kassady and Carnage are one being, and Kassady uses the power
that Carnage gives him to make himself stronger and even more lethal.
The symbiote bonded with his blood, which is why Carnage appears red instead of black,
like Venom, and also why the two have become one being.
Getting back to their shared origin story, now, Cletus Kassady is a serial killer whose
personality is modeled after DC's the Joker.
He is completely insane and sadistic, and has committed terrible, unspeakable crimes,
starting way back when he was a child.
Before he was fifteen years old he had already murdered his grandmother by pushing her down
a flight of stairs, and had tortured and killed his mother's dog with a power drill.
He tried to kill his mother, too, by throwing a hairdryer into the bathtub while she was
in it, and she later tried to kill him.
His father stepped in at that point, though, and beat his mother nearly to death.
Kassady was then sent to an orphanage, where his killing spree continued.
The other orphans didn't like him because he wasn't social enough or friendly enough,
and the staff didn't care for him either.
To punish them for their unfair treatment of him, he killed one of the administrators
of the orphanage.
He also pushed a girl in front of a bus when she laughed at him for trying to ask her out
on a date.
Then, to top it all off, he burned the orphanage to the ground.
At this point, Kassady had had enough of people in general, and decided to embrace his inner
madness.
From then on, he found freedom in killing and torture, and he became a full-fledged
serial killer.
After killing at least two dozen people, Kassady ended up in jail, sharing a cell with Eddie
Brock.
When Venom came there to get its host, it left behind its symbiote offspring.
That offspring then bonded with Kassady's blood, and they escaped prison as a new being:
Carnage.
Kassady was in heaven, then.
He could kill all he wanted, in the most gruesome ways, because he now had incredible new strength
and powers like shape-shifting, superhuman healing, and the ability to plant thoughts
in people's heads with a symbiote tendril.
In this aspect, Carnage is arguably even stronger than Venom, because its abilities not only
include many of Spider-Man's powers of web-slinging and the ability to walk up walls, but it goes
way beyond them.
It is for this reason that when Spider-Man finally comes to stop Carnage, he finds it
to be an impossible task.
Carnage is insanely strong, and Spider-Man is no match for his frightening combination
of strength and madness.
This forces Spider-Man to do something readers never would have seen coming: he had to ask
Venom for help.
Together, Venom and Spider-Man fought to take out Carnage, and eventually it seemed like
they did.
Knowing that the symbiote race is highly sensitive to high-pitched sound, they used a supersonic
weapon to kill him.
Carnage then seemed to be dead – and if it had been Venom instead, this might have
been true.
Carnage, though, had bonded with Kassady in a different way than his symbiote father.
He had entered through a small cut on Kassady's wrist, and bonded with him on a much deeper
level.
He was a part of him, he was in his blood, and thusly they could not be separated so
easily.
Carnage then went on to be a big part of several huge storylines in the Spider-Man universe,
where he continued to prove, time after time, that he is one of the most deadly villains
in all of comic books.
