Maximum Carnage Character Bios and Information - Carnage by Justin Anderson Carnage: birth date- unknown, irrelevant height- varies hair- none eyes- white Carnage, for a time, was the most dangerous man on the planet. He was an insane killer who enjoyed tearing his victims apart and eating them. The fact he was a man bonded to an alien being was irrelevant to him. He was a monster, and he liked it. But something happened. Cletus's drive to murder throughout life was the restult of the Dark God, Domientius, inhabiting him for hibernation purposes. The symbiote, which came later, only served to enhance this drive. But in 2001, it went wrong. Kasady's immune system was enhanced by an artificial drug. The hold Domientius had over Kasady depended on a physical link, despite the fact he was not a physical being, himself. This enhanced immune system attacked this link, cutting it. For the first time in his life, Cletus Kasady was in control. He was on the road to redemption. But Carnage was not about to change just because of his host's new desires. Establishing a physical and mental link with the symbiote instead, Domientius had a new vessel for his own plans. The symbiote eventually broke free, no longer needing a living host. It was quickly attacked by Jack, and a symbiote- free Cletus, and defeated. Or so everyone thought. In the time between his "defeat" and his return in London, Domientius awoke. The symbiote was no longer trying to work his new form. Both were Carnage. Carnage itself is a gestalt entity, composed of the Carnage symbiote and Domientius. Its form is based upon the physical manipulation by the Dark God so the symbiote can take humanoid form without a living host. They also share a single mind and voice. They were able to separate into their individual forms while in Sub-Nizzuran, but separation on Earth would require an outside force. Carnage is also more dangerous than ever. No human host means fewer weaknesses. Bullets pass through him, and fire only hurts at intense levels. His malleable form also allows him to turn into a blob, useful for escaping through cracks or pipes. He also has different ambitions from when he inhabited Cletus. He no longer desires to simply kill randomly. He has bigger plans. He wishes to enter Sub-Nizzuran, build his army, and enter our world in the appropriate time and wipe everything out. Sub-Nizzuran also serves as his realm of power. In it, he can draw on the dark forces he once commanded, enhancing his strength. His army is also kept there, the small, dangerous lizards called Krylakks, and the gigantic mutations, capable of tearing packs of humans apart in seconds, the monsters known as Screelaks. However, the creature does have a few weaknesses. One physical. The Heart of Domientius, a pendant with a physical link to the Dark God. While it serves as a beacon to bring hin back to Earth if he is banished, it can also channel any damage it receives into its owner. The more severe the damage, the more severe the channeled injury. This led to his defeat. His other weaknesses are mental. The two beings sometimes argue, as the symbiote still wants to chop people apart, but Domientius sees it as meaningless fun, and he has better things to do. Domientius also underestimates humans in the present day, something the symbiote does not. Internal arguments about this often erupt. Carnage is currently held in a Vaccuum Containment Unit, and airtight container used for holding liquids. This is stored in a facility in Washington, D.C., where it is watched, and bombarded with mivrowave radiation daily to keep the being weak. Security is also very heavy around him. But..... he knows he will escape someday. Someone will make a mistake, and his followers are not defeated just yet. And when he does erupt back into the world, he will make life Hell for anyone who gets in his way. Escpecially his former host. Note: Is that bit at the end a possible spoiler? ......maybe, maybe not.... Notes: Basically set in the Marvel Universe, I will be using a lot of my own continuity for this series, and generally focus on the main characters. Appearances by Marvel's universe will be special occurences. Crossovers with characters/titles from other companies will be treated as "single universe", not as "2 universes crossing temporarily". I will also try to ignore major Marvel comic story arcs. Cletus Kasady, Carnage, and other Marvel characters are copyright Marvel Entertainment Group, Inc.
