History ComicBook / Carnage

Since then, Carnage has become one of Franchise/SpiderMan's most (in)famous villains, appearing infrequently in the comics before seemingly being killed off after [[MakeWayForTheNewVillains Mac Gargan became a more monstrous version of Venom]]. After Flash Thompson became a heroic Venom, Carnage was brought back in 2011, and has starred in a number of his own miniseries since then. His popularity and role as a humanizing agent for Venom has led to his appearance in several video games and animated series.
