Carnage Has Taken A New Form as Marvel's Ultimate Godkiller
Warning: Contains spoilers for Carnage #3
Marvel's most infamous killer, the symbiote known as Carnage, has a nefarious plan to turn himself into something much worse than a god: a god-killer. With the powers that Carnage stole from two supervillains and the use of advanced technology, he will ascend to his new form, which will make him even more dangerous than the feared Gorr, the God-Butcher.
The first symbiote to appear in the Marvel Universe was Venom, but the whole lore surrounding the alien race of parasitic creatures was rewritten and expanded during the King in Black event. The symbiotes were created by Knull, a primordial god of darkness, trapped in the heart of planet Klyntar after his creations rebelled against him. Cletus Kasady, the deranged and murderous host of the Carnage symbiote, managed to free Knull, bringing havoc and destruction to the universe. Both Cletus and Knull died, but the Carnage symbiote survived, forever changed by witnessing the power of his dark god. No longer in need of a host to survive, Carnage puts in motion a plan elaborated by Cletus before his death, to ascend and become "the thing that kills gods". Carnage's plan needed several elements. First, he captured the supervillain Hydro-Man and stole his water-based powers. Then, he targeted Dr. Johnathon Ohm, the teleporting criminal known as Spot, because Carnage required access to the Darkforce Dimension that Spot uses to teleport.
