** [[Characters/MarvelComicsCletusKasady Cletus Kasady]] was a [[AxCrazy psychopathic]], prolific SerialKiller even before he bonded with the bloodthirsty alien symbiote and took the name of Carnage, after which he accrued a body count in the tens--if not hundreds--of thousands. [[EnfantTerrible As a child]], he killed his grandmother and pet dog; tortured his mother; killed the headmaster of his orphanage before [[BurnTheOrphanage burning the orphanage down]]; and pushed a girl in front of a bus because she rejected him.

*** ''[[ComicBook/Carnage2023 Carnage]]'' [[ComicBook/Carnage2023 Vol. 4]]: "[[CloneByConversion Cletus Kasady]]" is a [[ModifiedClone clone of the original]] created by the Carnage symbiote to help it answer the question "What is a god?" and establish a {{religion|OfEvil}} to worship it. [[DarkMessiah Acting as the Carnage symbiote's apostle]], "Cletus"--inspired by the mystery of true-crime podcasts--began murdering people with the same names as the 12 Apostles of [[UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}} Christ]], trapping one man in a glass box covered in ciphers to be boiled to death. Hunting down the original Cletus Kasady and scornfully [[EatBrainForMemories eating his brain to absorb his consciousness]], "Cletus" poisoned the elderly Rose Thompson with Polonium-210 to force her son Flash Thompson to weaken the Anti-Venom symbiote healing her, attempting to assimilate it before trapping him in the Darkforce dimension. Hunting down and tormenting Dylan Brock and the Venom symbiote in an attempt to draw out Eddie Brock, "Cletus" tortured Dylan by revealing the full extent of the Venom symbiote's dark past before impaling him through the heart. While superficially charming, "Cletus" is every bit the nihilistic and sadistic sociopath the original was, boasting that the act of murder makes him feel like {{a god|AmI}}.
