Spiderman Villains - The Story Behind Carnage

Perhaps one of the most terrifying villains of all time, and surely one of the most terrifying of the Spiderman villains, Carnage is far from a normal run of the mill law breaker. He was created when a predator alien bonded with a serial killer named Cletus Kasady.

Spiderman has dealt with some pretty vile and evil creatures up till now, but none could compare to Carnage. Rather than hoping for fame or fortune, Carnage wishes for a society where every being is allowed to do exactly as they please; no law, no rules and no consequences.

Because Carnage is half alien, or symbiote, he has some pretty special abilities including superhuman speed and strength, out of this world stamina and agility, and lighting fast reflexes. He makes all the other Spiderman villians look like flies on the wall waiting as prey.

One of the things that makes this guy even more terrible is that he has an immunity to Spiderman's spider sense. So, when the attacks from Carnage come, Spiderman is usually caught off guard.

Kasady comes from a violent background, probably more violent than all of the Spiderman villains, as Kasady claims his father brutally murdered his mother.

Kasidy continued to share his violent nature by letting his doctors know the had killed his own grandmother, then tortured his mother's dog, which in turn caused his mother to want to kill Kasidy, her own son. With an upbringing like that, what do you expect? Kasady was convicted of more than 11 murders, but had murdered much more than that, all by his early twenties.

Carnage is a combination of insanity, sadistic with pure and deadly abilities. It is this kind of villain that Spiderman fans love to see and watch how Spiderman can deal with him.
