Carnage

In the Ultimate Universe, Carnage is a monstrous symbiotic organism connected to the Venom project and Peter Parker's own genetics, making it a uniquely personal and terrifying threat to Spider-Man compared to its mainstream counterpart.

Few villains in the Modern Age hit with the visceral impact of Carnage, who burst onto the scene in Ultimate Spider-Man #31 in 2005 under the sharp creative hands of Brian Michael Bendis, Nicole Duclos, and Mark Bagley. This is a creature born for the darker, more grounded world of the Ultimate universe, haunting the pages of Ultimate Spider-Man in a run that stretched through the late 2000s. Carnage shares that dangerous space with the likes of Peter Parker, Mary Jane Watson, and the formidable Otto Octavius — a rogues' gallery and cast that signals just how high the stakes get in these stories. With nine catalog appearances through Panini France's editions, this version of Carnage is a compelling find for collectors who love their Spider-Man mythology with an edge.
