And because of that the world is worthless, its dirt on my heel--its a planet full of mannequins filled with blood and they may as well be torn up and burst and stamped on because what else are they good for--apart from making noise and being nice and making more stupid little mannequins that sit still for lies and TV and kissy-kissy garbage."''

29	A psychopathic serial killer imprisoned for eleven consecutive life sentences, Cletus Kasady met [[ComicBook/{{Venom}} Eddie Brock]] when the latter, separated from the Venom symbiote by the toxic touch of the supervillain Styx, became his cellmate. Learning of Brock's grudge against Spider-Man, Kasady tried to convert him to his nihilistic philosophy, mocking Eddie over his claims to have once been the supervillain Venom. Repeatedly rebuked, Kasady decided to murder his cellmate, but before he could the Venom symbiote entered the cell and rebonded to Eddie. Venom broke free, leaving the terrified and jealous Kasady behind. Sensing his desire for the power Eddie possessed, a scrap of the symbiote left behind dripped onto Cletus' hand and bonded with him, transforming him into the monstrous Carnage. As Carnage, Kasady proved stronger than Spider-Man and Venom combined, and his symbiote was not only less susceptible to sonics than its progenitor but infinitely more difficult to remove, having bonded to his bloodstream.

43	The first offspring of the Carnage symbiote. Cletus, disgusted at the notion of giving birth, forcibly bonded the infant symbiote, later named "Toxin" by Venom, to police officer Patrick Mulligan, who attempted to use it as a force of good, inspired by Spider-Man. Despite initial success, Patrick was murdered by the demon Blackheart, who cloned the symbiote and bonded them to clones of X-23. Agent Venom was blackmailed by the Crime Master into stealing the Toxin symbiote from Blackheart, although the Venom symbiote took control of Flash and tried to kill its progeny. Jack O'Lantern extracted the symbiote and took it to the Crime Master, who later forcibly bonded it to Eddie Brock. The symbiote initially took total control of Eddie's body and tried to kill Venom, but was ignited by Flash. It survived, still bonded to Eddie, and they agreed to work together until they could kill Venom before trying to kill each other.

55	When the Carnage symbiote was taken back to Earth from its orbit after the prison break in the Raft, Michael Hall used the symbiote to create hybrid prostheses consisting of both technology and the symbiote itself. Eventually, the Carnage symbiote managed to escape its containment cell and bonded to Tanis Nieves, leaving its offspring within her prosthesis after it used her to rescue Cletus Kasady. Tanis initially refused to bond to this new symbiote, which was briefly later taken from her by Shriek, but eventually acquiesced to bond with it.

67	The Raze symbiote was spawned by Carnage as part of a ritual involving the ''Darkhold'' and bonded with former FBI special agent Claire Dixon, leaving her a puppet of Carnage's will. It was eventually taken from Claire by Jubulile van Scotter, who used it to augment her own symbiote to fight Chthon.

78	An offshoot of the ''Darkhold''-augmented Carnage symbiote bonded with the South African teenager Jubulile van Scotter, this symbiote established a psychic link between her and Cletus Kasady that enabled her to help the Anti-Symbiote Task Force track him. When the eldritch god Chthon was summoned by Carnage, Jubilile absorbed the Toxin and Raze symbiotes to augment her own before banishing the dark god back to his interdimensional prison; though her symbiote seemingly perished in the process.

Unlike the other knock-offs, this one survived that event, and has periodically resurfaced to torment the real Spider-Man.

105
106	As a child, Frances Barrison was abused by her parents, especially her mother, whose cruelty drove her to drugs, overeating, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and heavy metal]]. Frances' mental stability was further damaged when she was shot in the head during an altercation with the police, and when she had a run-in with heroes ComicBook/CloakAndDagger, whose powers did ''something'' to her, giving her various superhuman abilities of her own. Now fully capable of taking revenge on the world she blames for her misery, Frances -- calling herself Shriek -- found soul mates of sorts in the form of her "husband" Carnage, and "son" Doppelganger.

120
121	A beautiful but unscrupulously ambitious reporter who found herself in the crosshairs of the spectral Sin-Eater. Rescued by the inverted Carnage, she begrudgingly attempted to coach him on how to be a hero -- while actually trying to get a promotion-winning scoop out of it. After Carnage defeated the Sin-Eater, Alice was disgusted that he'd developed feelings for her and revealed her deception before fleeing to the police.
122	----
123	* AmbitionIsEvil: She is an attractive but unscrupulous reporter who wants to take over the position of her deceased colleague ASAP.
124	* BerserkButton: Does not like the hair being mussed, as she indignantly yells at both Carnage and the Sin-Eater.
125	* BitchInSheepsClothing: She pretended to be distraught over her co-worker's deaths, when in fact she, as the Sin Eater put it, reeks of "sin, vainglory, selfishness and hubris".
126	* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: Has to continually reel in the overzealous Carnage.
127	* KarmaHoudini: Presumably got rich and famous from the events of ''AXIS''.
128	* MoralityChain: Cletus latched onto her in much the same way Eddie Brock once latched onto Jenna Cole. Unfortunately for him, she proves to be a less-than-upstanding individual.
129	* NervesOfSteel: After an initial moment of panic, she seems quite alright hanging out with a nihilistic serial killer whose soul mate is a carnivorous alien parasite masquerading as a costume.
130	* ReallyGetsAround: She was sleeping with her co-worker, solicited a police officer who had been sent to guard her after said co-worker's murder, pretended to be interested in Kasady, and seemingly tried to seduce the Sin-Eater ("And I'm totally not wearing any underwear") to save herself even after seeing [[SkullForAHead what's]] under his mask.
131	* SpiritAdvisor: After being bombarded with missiles, Carnage has near-death experience involving an angelic Alice, who offers him sage wisdom:
132	--> '''Alice:''' You have great power, yes. And with great power comes great, like all kinds of, I don't know, stuff... so don't be a jerk. You're good now and you've got mad skillz. Be a hero! Save me!
133	* TagalongReporter: Is abducted by Carnage, who adamantly believes that she can teach him to be good. Alice goes along with it, due to the fame that can entail becoming close to a "cape".
134	* UngratefulBastard: After Carnage saves her from the Sin Eater, she thanks him by blowing off his head and screaming at the police to finish him off. Cletus interprets this as her teaching him that TheMasqueradeWillKillYourDatingLife.
135	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: She hasn't been seen since the end of the ''AXIS: Carnage'' miniseries. Considering that Cletus had been hunting down those aware of his HeelFaceBrainwashing ''and'' she openly admitted to using him to his face, it doesn't bode well for her.

143	The sole survivor of Cletus' massacre at St. Estes Home for Boys, Manuela Calderon joined the military and was eventually hired as a security consultant at Grey Ridge Mine. When the FBI attempted to lure Carnage into a trap, Manuela was recruited into the Anti-Symbiote Task Force alongside John Jameson and Eddie Brock. Befriending Brock and developing a romantic affection for Victoria Montesi, Manuela helped stop Carnage from summoning the eldrich god Chthon.
144	----
145	* ActionGirl: She's a soldier who served three tours of duty, and is agile enough to dodge Carnage's tentacles.
146	* AmbiguouslyBi: While it was implied that she might have had a slight attraction to Eddie Brock, in the end he gets the impression that she's developed a thing for the canonically gay Victoria Montesi.
147	* BadassNormal: She's an unaugmented human who is capable of keeping up with the likes of Toxin and Man-Wolf.
148	* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Victoria Montesi flirts with Manuela after she commiserates with her hellish backstory.
149	* TheOneThatGotAway: Manny was the SoleSurvivor of Cletus's first killing spree, and he intends to rectify that.
150	* OnlyAFleshWound: She's set on fire by Gleason but still manages to put up a good enough fight to steal one of the Darkhold's pages ''and'' put the fire out.
151	* ShipTease: She is sympathetic towards [[ComicBook/{{Venom}} Eddie Brock]], who himself seems to be infatuated with her. However, in the last couple of issues Victoria Montesi begins flirting with her and Manny appears to reciprocate, with Eddie joking that he may as well have been furniture to them.
152	* TakingYouWithMe: When Carnage is about to eat her, she presses a detonator to blow up a large amount of mining explosives. Toxin shows up in time to shield her from the blast.

162	* BigBadWannabe: He's the evil mastermind behind the first arc of the 2015-2016 ''Carnage'' Vol. 2 series. He doesn't last long after Carnage catches him.

182	* EvilRedhead: Just like his distant descendant Cletus.
183	* FaceHeelTurn: Prior to his run-in with the Others, he was an all-around decent person who dearly loved Molly Ravencroft. Afterwards, he became a bloodthirsty symbiote-worshipping cannibal.
184	* InTheBlood: Cortland being forcibly recruited into the symbiote-worshipping cult is implied to be the reason why his descendants Roscoe and Cletus were a violent abuser and a serial killer of unprecedented bloodlust respectively.
185	* LifeDrinker: As Plague, Cortland is able to drain the life-force from others.

194	A serial killer who worships Carnage and desires to become the symbiote's new host.
195	----
196	* AnArmAndALeg: Carnage lops off one of Neely's arms with a bladed tentacle when Neely tackles the Spot and is dragged into the path of Carnage's attack. It's Neely's first big BrokenPedestal moment, leading him to snap at Carnage before being reminded of his place.
197	* AdmiringTheAbomination: While offput by Cletus' initial refusal to stop Carnage from becoming a god of destruction, Kenneth is nonetheless awestruck by Cletus' capacity for bloodshed once his BatmanGambit pays off.
198	* AscendedFanboy: Neely idolizes Carnage, and while the symbiote rejected him as its new host it did take him along on its journey of self-discovery and improvement. He later meets Cletus Kasady, and despite almost ending up being scraped from existence the two of them get along relatively well.
199	* DirtyBusiness: Neely betrays and murders [[spoiler:Zeiste, who had offered to help him escape being Carnage's thrall]], but takes no pleasure in doing so and confesses he found no beauty in it. Had he not done so, Carnage would have killed him.
200	* HeelRealization: Neely is {{Mind Rape}}d by Rosvelg, a god tasked with making those damned to Hel relive their sins, and comes to the realization that he was never an artist or making people beautiful by killing them.
201	* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Kenneth is impaled by Cletus in ''ComicBook/ExtremeCarnage Omega'', who mocks him for not seeing the double-cross coming. Cletus having bonded Kenneth to an offshoot of the Extrembiote literally comes back to haunt him, as Kenneth's consciousness persists in the Hive as a codex and needles Cletus over being incomplete without the Carnage symbiote.
202	* InadequateInheritor: He wants to become the new Carnage, but the symbiote repeatedly scorns him for not holding a candle to Cletus Kasady's twisted genius for murder.
203	* KillTheGod: Ken kills a god in ''Carnage'' #6, [[spoiler:stabbing Rosvelg with a sword on Carnage's orders -- albeit after Carnage incapacitated Rosvelg by mind-bombing him]].
204	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Kenneth clearly regrets [[spoiler:betraying Zeiste, calling himself "Judas" and confessing he saw no beauty in killing him]].
205	* ALighterShadeOfBlack: Kenneth starts out as a serial killer who idolizes Cletus Kasady and wants to become the Carnage symbiote's new host, but is clearly in over his head when the symbiote decides to drag him along on its quest for godhood.
206	* TheLoad: Despite being a notorious serial killer in his own right and ''trying'' to be of assistance to Carnage, Kenneth is in way over his head and thus more hindrance than help to the symbiote's plans -- losing an arm in the process of distracting the Spot, and getting captured by Zeiste the dark elf when tasked with killing him. For its part, Carnage mainly keeps him around because it finds his slavish devotion amusing and enjoys mocking him for thinking he's worthy of being its next host.
207	* LoonyFan: Neely idolizes Carnage and wants nothing more than to be the symbiote's next host, but Carnage finds him more naive and annoying than anything.
208	* NightmareFetishist: Ken Neely believes that by mutilating his victims he is making them beautiful.
209	* SerialKiller: Neely was given the unsub moniker of "The Artist" due to making gruesome "art" out of his victims.
210	* ThisIsGonnaSuck: When Carnage warps itself and Neely to Svartalfheim, Neely is increasingly dismayed at being stranded in a fantasy-horror realm full of dark swamps and living nightmares, complaining that he thought Carnage was just going to take him across the border.
211	* TurnToReligion: Neely dismissed his father's Christian beliefs after he died of leprosy, but in the wake of ''ComicBook/KingInBlack'' became a worshipper of Knull, devoting himself in particular to the dark god's apostle Carnage.
212	* PsychoSupporter: Neely is a serial killer who both idolizes the late, great Cletus Kasady, and literally worships Knull, accompanying the Carnage symbiote as it tries to educate him on the finer points of murder.

After all... what good are you without the symbiote? Hmm? And the way you are right now... so weak... so pitiful... why would Carnage want you? Carnage wants a worthy host... not some bed-ridden has-been. I know it's coming... I know you can sense it. And when it gets here... it will find me waiting... and you--dead! Don't worry, Cletus. I'll take good care of Carnage."''
231
232	A therapist working at Kramer Penitentiary, Dr. Jenner requested to work with spree killer Cletus Kasady, who had been separated from the Carnage symbiote by the Superior Spider-Man. Under his guidance, Cletus was admitted into the general populace and finally seemed ready to sever his psychological ties with the symbiote. However, Jenner secretly desired to become the symbiote's new host and hired an inmate to shank Cletus, smothering him when he learned the symbiote was on its way. When it reached the prison, Jenner offered himself to it, but it vehemently rejected him and resuscitated Cletus, who proceeded to kill Jenner along with the rest of the prisoners.

In the wake of Carnage's morality (or lack thereof) being altered by the events of ''ComicBook/{{Axis}}'', he was found to have died, but returns as a sin-eating demon, and places the symbiote serial killer in his crosshairs after Cletus interferes with his mission to wipe out the press. After becoming Dark Carnage, Cletus used his new symbiote to reanimate Gregg and send him after Eddie Brock.
