* Two books published by Marvel about the villain Carnage, ''Mind Bomb'' (which is by WarrenEllis by the way) and ''It's A Wonderful Life''. The character of Carnage is already up there to begin with, having been in prison serving ELEVEN consecutive life sentenced for murder before obtaining the symbiote, and after obtaining it, his only goals were to kill as many people as possible. The entire plot of ''[[MaximumCarnage Maximum Carnage]]'' was that Carnage wanted to kill everyone in Manhattan. He's a killer with no style or gimmick, who only wants to kill, preferably by brutal, gory means. But these books... both involve Carnage using the symbiote to connect to the minds of other people, which allows us to see what's in Carnage's mind. He lives in a world of corpses, willing victims, dark humor and frightening landscapes all of which house his knowledge, desires and memories of the past. There is even a special area where Carnage spends time hacking up Spider-Man copies for fun. One panel of ''Mind Bomb'' shows the "real world" as he calls it, which features a man eating intestines and holding a cup labeled "urine sample" as a drink glass, an elderly woman in bondage gear and a cop with a KKK hood shooting a man. In ''Mind Bomb'', the man he's connected to, Dr. Matthew Kurtz, goes completely insane from this experience. The second book plays more to Cletus Kasady's history as Dr. Kafka and John Jameson are connected this time, each mutating into a vicious creature (John turned back into the Man-Wolf, a previous villain form, and Dr. Kafka slowly changed into a cockroach) finally ending when a young black kid named Billy shows up deep within the area of repressed memories. Carnage threatens to kill him if they get too close but seems unable to (it's hinted that Billy was a childhood friend, but the details beyond this are never really said) and finally has a breakdown, releasing the two but left in a catatonic state. The artwork is graphic even for a Carnage story and the cover of ''Mind Bomb'' has him perched on a pile of human skulls. The oddest part? Both books were approved by the CCA. Even worse, ''IAWL'' seems to play with the idea that the people running the mental hospitals that house supervillains may actually be more evil than Carnage. ''Mind Bomb'' showed him as oddly intelligent for a supposedly uneducated guy but ''IAWL'' opens with Carnage ranting about the change in management. He even seems to be more than aware that many "accidents" that are resulting in patient deaths during their transfers are intentional and even calls out that the car crash that killed Wolverina (not Wolverine) was on purpose. This alone might be the most frightening aspect, Carnage himself calling out someone else for being worse than him and being right.

* There have been plenty of very dark stories over the years ("Kraven's Last Hunt", where Kraven the Hunter descends into madness, and drugs and buries Spidey alive, comes to mind immediately). Carnage and Venom also come to mind, with Venom being portrayed as a murderous stalker who knows Spider-Man's secret identity and is immune to Spider-Man's SpiderSense. A more recent example would be the story arc "Shed", where the Lizard destroys his human side, and goes on a horrible rampage.

* Spider-Man can be pretty damn scary when he's angry. Take when he caught the Sin-Eater. Stan Carter has been going around killing people, including Spidey's friend in law enforcement Jean [=DeWolff=], so Spidey wants him bad. After saving first girlfriend Betty from being killed, Spidey disarms and smacks Carter around... but he just doesn't stop despite Carter's pleas. Every couple of panels cuts back to Betty witnessing this andlooking terrified. Spider-Man nearly beats a man without super-powers to death and probably would've if not for Daredevil stopping him.

* Two books published by Marvel about the villain Carnage, ''Mind Bomb'' (which is by WarrenEllis by the way) and ''It's A Wonderful Life''. The character of Carnage is already up there to begin with, having been in prison serving ELEVEN consecutive life sentenced for murder before obtaining the symbiote, and after obtaining it, his only goals were to kill as many people as possible. The entire plot of ''[[MaximumCarnage Maximum Carnage]]'' was that Carnage wanted to kill everyone in Manhattan. He's a killer with no style or gimmick, who only wants to kill, preferably by brutal, gory means. But these books... both involve Carnage using the symbiote to connect to the minds of other people, which allows us to see what's in Carnage's mind. He lives in a world of corpses, willing victims, ark humor and frightening landscapes all of which house his knowledge, desires and memories of the past. There is even a special area where Carnage spends time hacking up Spider-Man copies for fun. One panel of ''Mind Bomb'' shows the "real world" as he calls it, which features a man eating intestines and holding a cup labeled "urine sample" as a drink glass, an elderly woman in bondage gear and a cop with a KKK hood shooting a man. In ''Mind Bomb'', the man he's connected to, Dr. Matthew Kurtz, goes completely insane from this experience. The second book plays more to Cletus Kasady's history as Dr. Kafka and John Jameson are connected this time, each mutating into a vicious creature (John turned back into the Man-Wolf, a previous villain form, and Dr. Kafka slowly changed into a cockroach) finally ending when a young black kid named Billy shows up deep within the area of repressed memories. Carnage threatens to kill him if they get too close but seems unable to (it's hinted that Billy was a childhood friend, but the details beyond this are never really said) and finally has a breakdown, releasing the two but left in a catatonic state. The artwork is graphic even for a Carnage story and the cover of ''Mind Bomb'' has him perched on a pile of human skulls. The oddest part? Both books were approved by the CCA. Even worse, ''IAWL'' seems to play with the idea that the people running the mental hospitals that house supervillains may actually be more evil than Carnage. ''Mind Bomb'' showed him as oddly intelligent for a supposedly uneducated guy but ''IAWL'' opens with Carnage ranting about the change in management. He even seems to be more than aware that many "accidents" that are resulting in patient deaths during their transfers are intentional and even calls out that the car crash that killed Wolverina (not Wolverine) was on purpose. This alone might be the most frightening aspect, Carnage himself calling out someone else for being worse than him and being right.
