Carnage Character Review
Carnage (Cletus Kasady) is a fictional comic book supervillain appearing in books published by Marvel Comics, usually as an enemy of Spider-Man. The character first appeared as Cletus Kasady in The Amazing Spider-Man - Comic (March 1991) and was created by writer David Michelinie and artist Mark Bagley, based on elements of the precursor character Venom.
In 2009, Carnage was ranked as IGN's 90th Greatest Comic Book Villain of All Time..(More about Carnage Character Review..? Keep reading..)

Powers and Abilities (Carnage)
As Eddie Brock explained, the Carnage symbiote was born with abilities even more singular than
those of its progenitor—due to the fact that it gestated in an
environment alien to it—Earth. The alien symbiote endows Cletus Kasady with enhanced physical strength greater than that of Spider-Man and Venom combined and shape-shifting abilities, allows him to project a web-like
substance from any part of his body including the formation of weapons,
and enables him to plant thoughts into a person's head using a symbiote tendril. Much like Spider-Man, Kasady has the ability to cling to virtually any surface, and has a version of Spider-Man's spider-sense,
as the symbiote can relay information to him from any angle and grants
Kasady the ability to "see" in any direction, warning him of incoming
threats. He can rapidly crawl, walk, or run across even slick surfaces. The
Carnage symbiote has similar abilities of that of Spider-Man's as a
direct result of the Venom symbiote's first host, Peter Parker, who
transferred some of Spider-Man's power into the symbiote.
He is able to rapidly regenerate damaged body tissues much faster and more extensively than an ordinary human. It isn't known, however, if he can fully regenerate severed limbs or missing internal organs; he was fitted with artificial legs after being torn apart by the Sentry, but this occurred while he was separated from the symbiote. Kasady is also immune to the effects of all Earthly diseases and infections as long as he remains bonded with the symbiote. Like Venom, the symbiote is vulnerable to sound (to a much smaller degree than Venom) and heat (to a much larger degree than Venom), and is undetectable to Spider-Man's spider-sense. Unlike Venom, Carnage can launch parts of his symbiote at enemies in the form of solid weapons such as darts, spears, knives, axes, etc., although they disintegrate into dust within ten seconds of leaving Carnage's body. Carnage also has the strange ability to warp his appendages into different arms, legs, and even wings. This is shown on several occasions when Carnage mutates his fingers and arms into what look like large swords.
Kasady has full control over the size, shape, color (usually red and
black), texture, and hardness of his symbiote (and any part thereof).
Like Venom, he can make his symbiote look like normal clothing (which he
has done on rare occasion), or act as "camouflage". With the symbiote
bonded to his bloodstream, he can "regenerate" his costume from scratch
simply by bleeding. His symbiote has the peculiar ability to block its
parent's (Venom's) ability to sense and track it. The symbiote is also able to rapidly adapt to new environments; when Kasady was taken into space by the Sentry, the Carnage symbiote was able to save his life by growing small sacks
around his mouth that converted carbon dioxide into oxygen, allowing
Kasady to stay alive long enough for him to be recovered.
In some interpretations, the Carnage symbiote is vampiric, feeding on and thus endangering his victims by mere touch. The symbiote has also shown the ability to call back parts of itself
back to the main symbiote, adding it to the parts that already make up
the symbiote. It can also send commands that cannot be resisted to parts
of itself that are in technology, used to break the bones of the Iron
Rangers when they challenged Carnage while wearing symbiote-enhanced
technological exo-suits. Using these last two abilities, Carnage
absorbed the five Iron Rangers, and consequently grew to an enormous
size and assumed the color blue.
Finally, Carnage's powers have always been abnormally enhanced from the maniacal will and insane worldview that Cletus Kasady has had from the age of 8 years old onward. Kasady sees "chaos" and random, undirected violence as reality, and considers "order" and virtue to be illusions. He takes an almost artistic pride in his mayhem, likes to leave a trail for others to follow (usually leaving the phrase "Carnage Rules" written in his own blood), and is recklessly willing to take on the most dangerous and powerful of opponents and victims. (On rare occasions, however, he has deliberately spared individuals in order to serve as witnesses for others—for instance, Joe Robertson's wife Martha during Savage Rebirth.) Kasady is essentially taking revenge on the whole world for the torment— both real and imagined— of his childhood...
Other hosts (Carnage)
Aside from Cletus Kasady, the Carnage symbiote bonds with Ben Reilly, creating Spider-Carnage, and later with the Silver Surfer to become Carnage Cosmic. Later the suit forcefully bonds itself to Dr. Tanis Nieves after the apparent death of Cletus, in the process becoming the third Carnage. In every case, however, the symbiote eventually returns to Cletus Kasady.

In Other Media (Film/Movie)
Carnage's first appearance in a motion picture was originally planned for a film written by David S. Goyer and produced by New Line Cinema, in which Venom would have been portrayed as an antihero and Carnage as the antagonist. Goyer said in an interview the film rights to Venom ultimately reverted to Sony..
