* UnexplainedRecovery: Cletus' physical body is killed at the end of ''ComicBook/AbsoluteCarnage'', leaving him a codex piloting a symbiote. However, in ''ComicBook/{{Carnage|2023}}'' he's inexplicably human again and without any symbiote, leaving him in an enfeebled state.
* EatBrainForMemories: In #3, the Cletus clone [[spoiler:eats the original Cletus Kasady's brain to absorb his memories and consciousness]].

** While the Cletus clone considers raping and murdering the barista at a coffee shop he stops at, when her love of true crime podcasts helps him come to an epiphany regarding his ReligionOfEvil quest he not only spares her but leaves a generous tip... though he also leaves behind his copy of the Bible, which is full of disturbing annotations written in blood, suggesting his reasons for sparing her weren't entirely altruistic.
** While stopping at a pub the original Cletus frequents, the Cletus clone chastises the Carnage symbiote for wanting to cut loose and slaughter all the patrons, as doing so runs counter to their purpose of establishing a ReligionOfEvil... though he expresses annoyance that the original Cletus--who has no such purpose--hadn't done so.

**PayEvilUntoEvil: Unlike the original Cletus, the clone mostly limits himself to killing people who committed or other horrific crimes, and vetoes going on a killing spree when the symbiote suggests doing so. Not because he wants to make the world a better place or anything, but to stoke the sense of mystery and intrigue drawing followers to him, and so that there will be people around to worship him. He's not above killing random people who get in his way or just because, but he holds back from going on mass killing sprees since that would run counter to his mission of establishing a ReligionOfEvil.

Added DiffLines:
* {{Sadist}}: In addition to being every bit TheSociopath the original Cletus Kasady was, the Cletus clone delights in torturing Flash Thompson by poisoning his mother with radioactive material and framing him for murder, and Dylan Brock by making him relive the Venom symbiote's worst actions--especially the suffering it had inflicted on Eddie Brock and Anne Weying.
Added DiffLines:
* TermsOfEndangerment: The Cletus clone refers to Dylan Brock as his brother, owing to both Dylan and the Carnage symbiote being offspring of the Venom symbiote.

A short-lived clone of Cletus Kasady created by Harrower.

* ChestBurster: He erupts out of Wade's abdomen Xenomorph-style and starts taking Wade's clone of the Carnage symbiote with him, but before he can fully emerge he's unceremoniously devoured by Princess.
* ICantFeelMyLegs: Cletus bursts out of Wade's abdomen from the waist-up, but when he tries to emerge the rest of the way he finds he can't and announces he can't feel his legs... right before Princess pops out and devours him.
* ModifiedClone: The Harrower used Wade Wilson's healing factor-augmented flesh and a modified clone of the Carnage symbiote as a womb to gestate a clone of Cletus Kasady, and made a few additional adjustments to ensure his loyalty to her... and give him washboard abs for [[EatingTheEyeCandy her to ogle]].
* WeHardlyKnewYe: He's only around long enough to proclaim his triumphant comeback, gloat at Deadpool, and get hit on by Harrower before Princess eats him.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cletus_clone_2.jpg]]
A clone of Cletus Kasady created by the Carnage symbiote to aid it in its pursuit of understanding what it means to be a god.
----
* CloneByConversion: The Cletus clone was created by the Carnage symbiote eating an inmate in Cletus' old Ryker's Island prison cell and using his biomass to create a duplicate of Cletus as he was when they'd first bonded.
* DarkMessiah: Seeking to create a ReligionOfEvil centered around itself, the the Carnage symbiote creates the Cletus clone to serve as its prophet and messiah, and he begins studying religious texts for inspiration.
* AGodAmI: The Cletus clone takes the apotheosized Carnage symbiote's task of answering the question "What is a god?" to heart, and quickly comes to see himself as one due to the symbiote's new suite of powers.
* ModifiedClone: He's a clone of Cletus Kasady as he was when the Carnage symbiote first bonded to him, making him at least a decade younger than the original--which results in him being mistaken for the original Cletus Kasady's son by a bartender, to his amusement. As a result, he has to be filled in on all the developments of the 21st century by the Carnage symbiote, particularly delighting in all the negatives that have cropped up.
* OtherMeAnnoysMe: The clone of Cletus is less than impressed by the original's lack of progress in indoctrinating the world into the gospel of chaos, and concerned about the Carnage symbiote still loving him. When they finally meet at the end of the second issue, it becomes clear that [[DeathGlare the feeling is mutual]].
* PetTheDog: While the Cletus clone considers raping and murdering the barista at a coffee shop he stops at, when her love of true crime podcasts helps him come to an epiphany regarding his ReligionOfEvil quest he not only spares her but leaves a generous tip.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: While he has Cletus' typical green irises, when he confronts the original Cletus Kasady at the end of the second issue his pupils glow red.
* SemiDivine: The clone of Cletus himself may be mortal, but the Carnage symbiote underwent apotheosis in ''ComicBook/{{Carnage|2022}}'' (Vol. 3) and ''ComicBook/DeathOfTheVenomverse'' and is supplying him with its powers.
