Carnage has gone from his humble origins to a serial killer who slaughters gods.
Over the last few years,Carnage has been evolving. He’s capable of opening portals after stealing the powers of the villain Spot. He can use the All-Blood spear to kill gods, and he’s shown to be immune to both sound and fire. It’s a terrifying list of abilities, one that only seems to be growing more and more. Combining the fact that Carnage can shapeshift, he’d be able to sneak up on any Avenger or anyone else and take over their body. This would grant him access to anywhere he wants, which would give Carnage a ton of opportunities.
Carnage and Venom have always been arch-enemies. After Venom ascended to literal godhood, it’s no surprise thatCarnage would attempt to followafter him. Carnage started out as a low-level serial killer. Just targeting whatever people he saw on the street. But all characters need to grow, and Carnage has gone from his humble origins to a serial killer who slaughters gods. Naturally, he was going to need a bit more power than just turning his hands into knives –and consequently, his entire arc in the Marvel Universe has been a ruthless quest to obtain such strength.
Carnage is capable of completely reviving Cletus Kasady anytime he wants; he can open portals; he can possess peoples' bodies – and that only scratches the surface of what Carnage can now do.
