Carnage (character)

Carnage is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, usually as an adversary of Spider-Man and the archenemy of its parent Venom, in particular the Eddie Brock incarnation. The character made its first full appearance in The Amazing Spider-Man #361, and was created by writer David Michelinie and artist Mark Bagley, although the first published artwork of Carnage was penciled by Chris Marrinan. Stan Lee would also have some input in the character's name and attributes, pushing for a villain who was darker and more vicious than Venom, due to the latter's scrupulous character development and evolution into an antihero.
