Who is Carnage?

This iteration of Carnage appears in Panini Deutschland's German-market Marvel publications, sharing pages with Peter Parker and the notorious Cletus Kasady — strongly suggesting it represents the same symbiote-bonded serial killer known from mainstream Marvel continuity.

Few names in comics carry as much visceral energy as Carnage, and this iteration — debuting in Marvel DC Crossover #1 in 1997 under the hand of Tony Verdini for Panini Deutschland — brings that intensity into the Copper/Modern Age with a catalog presence stretching nearly three decades. Appearing across Spider-Man, Marvel Must-Have, and Marvel DC Crossover, this character keeps electrifying company: Peter Parker, Mary Jane Watson-Parker, Robbie Robertson, and the notorious Cletus Kasady all share these pages. With 11 catalog appearances spanning from 1997 to 2026, it's a fascinating corner of the broader Carnage legacy worth seeking out for the dedicated collector exploring how Marvel's most chaotic presence translated through Panini's European publications.
