📖 Biography
Carnage (Cletus Kasady) is one of Spider-Man's most terrifying enemies, created when the offspring of the Venom symbiote bonded with the psychopathic serial killer Cletus Kasady. Unlike Venom, Carnage embraces chaos and violence without remorse, making the bond between host and symbiote exceptionally dangerous. Possessing immense shape-shifting powers and overwhelming physical abilities, he has repeatedly threatened Spider-Man, Venom, and even the Avengers. His complete lack of empathy and love of destruction make him one of Marvel's most feared villains.
